With an oIdtlme Roar, it Breaks UP

Clear, Alarming leo
Harvesters.
HAVE ALMOST LOST HOPE
Ice Men There Have Obtained Good
Supply OF the CONCEALED Water
for the Last Forty-slx
Years.

4 !
Burlington ice men are becoming
somewhat alarmed about the weather
conditions in relation to their crop
this year, but get some hope out OF
the fact that If they fail to harvest
ice this spring, it will be the first
failure in forty-six years.
While here at Keokuk the ice re-
mains on Lake Keokuk several
inches thick, ready to increase TO
the ten inches or more required for
economical harvesting, it broke UP
and went out at Burlington the other
day, and the river is perfectly clear
of ice there. AS a result it will
take much longer cold weather to
make ice there than here. Fort
Madison is between Burlington and
Keokuk in ice harvesting prospects.
as well as geographically.
The weather bureau forecast for
this week indicates that there may
be cold enough weather the very last
Of the week to run into next week
and make real ice harvest here
then. The Hawk-Eye says of condi-
lions at Burlington:
Went Out With Roar.
with a. roar that reverberated
block away from the river, the Ice in
the Mississippi river off of Burllng-
ton broke away at noon Friday and
started down stream, taking with 1t
all the chances of a summer supply
of natural ice for local dealers.
THE continued high temperature
and the sun resulted in the deteriora-
ton of the ice, which during the
early days of January had reached a
depth of six inches. Honeycombed
and thinned greatly by the warm
weather, the currents of the river
broke up the ice Friday and it start
ed on it's movement southwark, to be
halted only as gorges formed and
broke against the two bridges OF the
city.
They Have Little Hope Left
Local ice dealers now have little
hope that any ice will be- taken out
of the river this year. If such is the
case, it will be the first year In
forty-six years that G. F. Wedertz
has been cutting ice that he failed
to lay in supply of the frozen sub
stance for summer trade.
"The dealers state that even II a
period OF cold weather comes, II
must be severe and remain for
long period to form ice Of ten inches
which would be sufficient for cutting
But with the lateness OF the season
there is the danger that, although
good ice might form, warm weather
would arrive before supply could
be obtained"

to the work the Red Cross was doing
to help the people whom the Turks
were prosecuting. Since the conclu-

that the American committee for re-

WICHITA WANTS
BLUE SKY LAW
Would Have Dishonest Oil
Stock Promoters De-
clared Felons.

In Wichita Falls, Tex, a movement
has been started to get some sort of
a blue sky law passed to protect peo-
pie from oil stock swindIers and
fraudulent oil stock promoters. A pc
tition is being circulated there and
governor VIM P. Hobby will be asked
by the petitioners to recommend 70
the present legislature of Texas now
in called session that that body pass
a law to provide such protection from
such frauds. The petition asks thar
stock swindling be made a felony.
The petition recites that an inn
perative necessity exists for such a
law as there is not now an adequate
law applicable to such acts that can
reach and punish the perpetrators of
such frauds committed against stock
holders and investors"
The petition also asks that the gov
ernor recommend that the legislature
now in session create a special dis
trict court for Wichita county with
power and jurisdiction to impanel a
grand jury whose duty principally
shall be TO examine into all persons,
joint stock companies and corpora
lions doing business in that county
and take cognizance of all complaints
that may be made.
