The January thaw is with us, al

generally felt that the good work has
just commenced.
The public school buildings are
being fumigated in accordance with

There is considerable speculation
among river men as to the height of
the river this spring when the big
thaw comes. Many OF the expert
enced water men feel sure that the
freshets this year will bring the
! rivers way up over their banks and
cause considerable damage.
Another charge was filed against
Fred Fernandez yesterday evening.
Mr.. Fernandez was arrested yesterday
