$4,000 TONS OF ICE
HANDLED BY FARGO co.
Fargo Detroit Company Concludes
Operations at Lake-Eaeh Years
Harvest Shows Increase.

Detroit Record: The ice shipping
season has practically closed and it is
interesting to note that each years
tonnage increases considerably, this
season seeing the largest shipments Of
any year up to date.
The Fargo-Detroit Ice company have
handled approximately $4,000 tons at
their plant on the Northern Pacific,
while H. L. Johnston has loaded ap-
proximately 1000 tons on the 500 line.
AS the cars average not quite IS tons,
this means a shipment Of approx
mately 1000 cars, or a sufficient num-
Der to make several train loads.
Owing to the extreme thickness Of
the ice during the past few weeks,
the task Of handling it has been a pro-
digious one, as the cakes were forty
inches thick and weighed over $50
pounds each. Ten Of such cakes made
q nice little load for one team to haul
up from the lake.
Detroit lake ice is fast gaining in
popularity throughout North Dakota
and on the prairies Of northern Min
nesota and North Dakota.
