ONLY ICE FOR
URGENT NEEDS
People VIII Have to Use it Econ
OmfcalIy Next Summer, the
Dealers Say.
MUCH Is BEING SHIPPED IN
Union Ice & Coal Company VIII
Open Camp Monday to Store
Spirit Lake Product.

There will be ice enough in the
three cities for urgent needs this
coming summer, but there will be
none to waste. That seems to be the
view of ice dealers who now have
definitely given up hope of cutting
any more OF the natural product
from local waters. The little ice
that has been cut here is thin and
not of the best quality Domestic
users will have to depend more
generally upon artificial ice than
ever before.
Not since the winter of 1873 has
there been such a complete failure
of Jack Frost to provide the means
for artificial cooling in summer and
then of course there was far less
ice used in Rock Island than now,
even in proportion to population.
Eleven years ago little ice was cut
till March, but the supply was fair
ly adequate even then.
Forty cars of ice are now being
shipped in daily over the Rock Is
land road from Spirit lake ana
Lake Okoboji in northern Iowa by
the Union Ice & Coal company of
this city. Monday a camp will be
opened at the houses two miles east
of Milan on Rock river and a large
force of men will be put at work
storing this imported product. 1t is
hoped to increase the receipts to 80
or 80 cars a day.
Means $50 Mile Haul.
Spirit lake is $50 miles away by
rail. This is the first time ice ever
was shipped so far for storage here
A limited quantity has been brought
once or twice from Lake Pepin near
Lacrosse. Spirit lake ice this year
is Is to 20 inches thick and of good
quality.
= Practically all the ice now being
brought in by rail will be used in
refrigerator cars at Silvis and to
ice coaches and dining cars on the
Rock Island lines.
