ICE HARVEST KEEPS
BIG COMPANY
At WORK
About $4,000 Tons Used in
Grand Forks-Also Sup
ply Other Cities

Grand Forks ice crop for 1912 will
be harvested in about two weeks. pro-
vidcd the weather does not take sides
against the ice man and SO far this
season the elements have been a bit
antagonistic to the concern that has to
do about a years business in the short
period Of three short months.
The harvest in Grand Forks COM
menced shortly after Christmas. On
account of the extreme cold the work
was greatly hampered. Some days,
when the weather would be fairly de-
cent in the city. the ice harvesters
would have to stop work and return
home because Of the severity of the
atmosphere on Maple lake or down on
he river. According to an ice dealer
this morning. the work has been great
~ retarded by the unusual cold all
through the season.
The ice being taken out Of the riv-
er this winter will average . from
eighteen to twenty-six inches in
thickness. The ice from the lake will
inches. The ice is solid this veal, say
the men and of better grade than har-
vested here in some time.
The cakes of river ice weigh in the
neighborhood of 500 pounds while
the cakes of ice from the lake weigh
about 500 pounds.
Ice Shipped Out Also
Fifteen cars Of ice have already
been shipped about the state by tho
Grand Forks Ice company and sew
eral more cars will lave been sent
out before the harvest closes. This
Ice goes to Grafton, Buxton, Hatton,
Brocket and a number of other places.
The ten mammoth ice houses of the
company in the city have also been
filled. These houses hold approXi-
mately $500 tons each. At the pres
ent time this concern is filling the
ice houses for various wholesalers in
the city and this alone is a big fea-
ture of the years harvest.
The two big Great Northern ice
houses are also filled. This frozen
water from Green Lake, Mimi,
where the finest and purest ice in that
state is obtained.
Much Cash Invested
The immensely Of the ice industry
in this city is shown in the checks
issued by the Grand Forks Ice COM
pany last Saturday night. For men
and teams alone last week it cost that
company " $500 to harvest Just a
small portion of the ice crop. For
men and teams last summer the Grand
Forks Ice company paid out something
over $500. The sawdust required
to keep the ice for Grand Forkers on
hot days last year cost this company
approximately $4,000.
At the present time the Grand Forks
Ice company is employing twenty-nine
men and teams of its own besides
fifteen additional men and teams. dur
ing the ice harvest.
In harvesting the annual ice crop
only the best of equipment can be us
ed. The work has to be done in a
hurry and the hauls are long and hard.
Recently a small breakdown on one
Of the sleds cost the company heavily
though the delay lasted only a few
minutes.

NO SHORTAGE SAY OFFICIALS
Freight Car Problem Not Bothersome
at Present Time-rlcnty of Cars
in Northwest.

That there is no car shortage at the
present time and that there has not
been a real shortage since 1907 is the
opinion of Great Northern officials in
Grand Forks. who say that the re-
ported lack of 5000 freight ars for
prompt and iudicious distribution
from Minneapolis over the northwest
is merely imaginative.
Freight is being handled we'll on all
northwestern lines for this time Of the
year. say the r%ailroaders. There was
a time. recently. they say when coal
from the head of the lakes wa taking
a large number Of cars. but the situa-
ton then was not even more serious
than rushing" and there was not an
indication of a shortage.
When ears r tied up for a few
days. there Is invariably a reported
shortage. the railroad men aver. when
in reality there r more cars on hand
than are needed.

STATE AID
IN WORK

Twenty acres Of ground less than a
mile from the Central high school and
about eighty rods from the Wilder
school building were purchased Sat-
urday by the board of education for
the use of the proposed agricultural
lie schools. The consideration was
$4,000 cash and the deal was made
with w. H. Kelsey.
Under the state law providing for
the establishment of a certain num-
her of agricultural schools, ten acres
of ground is all that is required. The
property is located east of the fair
grounds. between the Northern Pa
ciiic and the Great Northern industrial
track.
The state will aid in the establish.
ment. OF agricultural departments in
five public school systems appropriat-
ing $4,000 for each school. At the
present time about thirty cities Of the
state are endeavoring to secure the re-
CURED ground and the appropriation.
The state high school board has, it is
said, already received fifteen applica-
tions from cities about the state, in
many cases the applications of the
school boards being supported by the
commercial clubs.
Grand Forks has the largest enroll

in the state and for this reason. If for
no other, the board of education be-
lieves that this city is entitled to be
named as one of the five to receive the
state appropriation in the agricultural
work.
The matter of securing the new de-
partment for the Grand Forks schools
will be taken up with the Commercial
CLUB Immediately and the matter plac-
ed before the state high school board
at its meeting March s.
The committee of the board of edu-
cation looking after the purchase of
the plot Of ground consisted Of NJ.
Norman, j. d. Bacon, P. .. Thorson
and Don Mcdonald. At the recent
monthly meeting of the board of edu-
cation the committee was authorized
to make the purchase at a certain
price.
Several propositions We're submitted
to the committee and the matter Of
price, 1t is said, was the determining
factor in the matter, as all of the pro-
posed plots were nearly what the

like to play encores, feeling that it
