By nightfall ice harvesters employed
by j. NJ. Ward & Son on the Jockey Hol-
low millpond expect that new record
for cutting January ice win have been
hung up. A fortnight ago the first har-
vest was completed, and the ice COM
pany's managers settled back in the ex-
pectancy that the end of February would
be reached before the second crop could
be cut. When colder and colder weather
began coming on apace, soundings were
made and early this week it was deter
mined that the ice was plenty thick
enough for a second cutting. Upward OF
80 men were on the pond this week and
in addition to filling the storage houses in
that vicinity they have supplied many
farmers. Not in years has the local ice
company been able 10 gather in sea
sons supply in the month of January

An automobile with iron skids sup
planting the forward wheels and rear
wheels generously spiked with metal con-
trivances shot out of the Perry garage
on Washington street this forenoon, took
on DIR. J. A. Wark, and then swung up
the hill to the east. Without the least
hesitation, according to the operator, the
hybrid Ford took the sharp pitches of
Trow hill and completed an ascent that
strikes terror to a good many
motorists in the summertime. Every
where the driver and the doctor went the
little machine did everything asked of it.
Once back in the city. the autoist sub
iected the car to stern test by heading
Il up Hooker hill and the results were
wholly satisfactory. Ingenious repair
men at the garage have been contriving
he device and with the completion of q
successful test to-day they feel that they
have solved one of the problems of win
ter motoring.
