Sugar Makers Sustain Loss.

The winter weather coming at this
time has caused great damage
to sugar makers. Last Friday night it
rained hard until about daylight, when
it began to snow and there was quite a
blizzard until Sunday. When the sugar
makers went into their camps they
found that nearly all buckets that were
without covers had been filed with
rain water and frozen so hard that they
burst. There are many thousands of
tubs in this town that have been ruined
by the freeze, and as it is impossible
to get new ones it will mean great
loss in the amount of sugar that would
have been made. as doubtless there will
be a good run of sap after this cold
spell.
