again confronted with the dearth of
ice which has been bugbear every
wear at about this time. With the
experience Of past years to work on

this condition when cutting his win
ter supply. If the present control OF
me ice SITUATION needs any assistance
in this respect next year it would

and never Showing up again. Such
a thing as a notice of disseminating
is never known.
