MISS HARRIET N. WIGHT.

The death of Miss Harriet N. Wight
came as a surprise to her friends and re-
latives. For the last two years since the
death of her niece, Mrs. F. w. Chase, she
has been living with her niece, Mrs. A. T.
Ringold, formerly of Northboro, Massa-
cnuselts now of Hyannis. For the past
year she had been falling physically and
mentally but her death, October %, re.
suited from serious fall which occurred
October goth. She was born April 3, 1882,
the daughter of Nathan and PAMELA
Oakes Wight and has always been wo-
man of wonderful sire 9Th and loving
unseltish disposition, always ready to do
any thing she could for anybody, but was
specially devoted to her own family,
caring for her aged father and mother as
long as they lived and doing not only all
the house work but much of the farm
work as we'll. The death of her sister
and brother in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Levi L.
Robbins in 1910-l1, was great deep sor-
row to her which she could not over come,
that they had to 60 before herself Since
that time she has been cared for by her
nieces and one nephew and wife and
everything was done for her that could be
making her homo with one or another of
them till the death of Mrs. Chase little
over years ago, since which time she has
been cared for by Mrs. Ringold. She
leaves one sister, Mrs. Ellen Small of
Stoneham, Mass, four nieces, Mrs. Fred
c. Stockwill of Stoneham, Mrs. H. F. c.
klienschmidt of Johnstown, Pa. Mrs.
A. T. Ringold of Hyannis, Mrs. Eliz beth
De Laney of Brockton, N. Y, and one
nephew, Mr. Laforest Robbins of Belfast.
The remains were brought to Belfast ac-
companied by Mrs. Ringold and Mr.. F.
w. Chase. The funeral services were
held Tuesday afternoon at the home of her
nephew. Mr. Laforest Robbins of IA Mil
Ter St, after which the interment took
place in the South Belfast cemetery. Rev.

Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-05
ice SURPLUS
IN This CITY
ISP0SSlBLlTY
Stocks on Hand Larger Than
Normal; Big Drop in
Cost.

Great Falls has at least a plentiful
supply of ice for the summer. willis
some of the ice dealers estimate that
the supply, at the present rate Of con.
sumption. is enough for two easons.
Largely because Of a smaller consump-
ton as well as cuts in cost Of produc-
ton, ice has dropped about 10 per cent
in the last yea and 20 per cent since
! 1920. the drop being most noticeable
, In the case of natural ice.
With these drops in cost, Great Falls
enjoys prices probably as low as any
foun: in any of the larger towns Of the
United States. according to the ice men.
Prices Are Lower
Natural ice hat sold for IS for 500
pounds in 1920. and $3.50 for 500
pounds in 1921, is now selling for -
for 500 pounds. Artificial ice is now
selling for 81 a hundred on cash sales
and SO cents a hundred, or 81 for 500
pounds, when sold in books Of 100
pounds or more.
The city has just passed the opening
of the ice sales for the season, accord
ing to the records of the ice men, dr.
proving to some extent the belief that
the summer has been unusually late IN
coming. Last year the first heavy sales
of ice came on June 4. while this year
the first heavy sales were Saturday,
June 8.
The city normally uses 1000 tons
of ice. according to Ernest Downing Of
the Crystal Ice company. This year
the Great Falls Ice company has TO-
900 tons of ice stored, or enough to
last the company into 1923, on the
present basis Of consumption. according
to L.. w. Suhr. The Peoples Ice COM
pany has about 1000 tons in storage.
This supply. according to the ice men,
may be kept into next year without ap-
preciable %shrinkage, the heavy supply
being due to an unusually good ice har-
vest last winter both In quantity and
quality and to a slightly lessened de-
mand.
Poor Economy, Says
when a family begins to pare the
budget the first item that goes is the
ice account" said Mr.. Suhr. "Of course,
every ice man knows that, although he
thinks it poor economy"
Mr.. Downing said that despite tbs
large supply Of ice he did not believe
there would be an oversupply. He said
that the consumption is very little less
than usual and that the natural ice
concerns will find the sale for most Of
their surplus when the fruit begins TO
be shipped next fall.
