Ice Men Happy
Men who cut ice in the sloughs
of the Humboldt river each year,
both for sale and for storage for
private needs, are happy today, the
recent cold snap having turned the
river water into ice anywhere from
six to eight inches thick, but Of
poor quality because of snow. 1t
has been said that it has never
failed to become cold enough here
to insure an ice supply, though
there have been years when the
prospect looked exceedingly dubious.
One old-timer remembers a year
when the first ice was cut on the
last day of February, at a time
when the winter is supposed to COM
mence breaking up.
The present winter season is
said to have been most ideal for
all Humboldt county industries
which are more or less affected by
weather conditions, there having
been snow enough to assure irriga-
tion water, it has not been cold
enough to seriously affect live
stock and conditions have been such
that winter feeding has been excel
lent, resulting in all stock being
in excellent condition with mini
mum of expense for feeding. Al
together, so far as the weather has
been concerned, all circumstances
have led to a general optimistic
feeling that the coming season is to
be one of prosperity.

Jail Empty Again

Its as empty as cradle said
Deputy Sheriff c. W.Muller today
as he was approached for news Of
activities around the county jail.
The sheriff had one prisoner up to
yesterday, an Indian who was taken
from a train in an intoxicated
condition, fined $40 and put be-
hind bars to serve out the fine be-
cause he had no money. Somehow
he dug up half of the fine yester-
day, after he had served half time,
and was released. Outside of that
the Jail is as quite as the rest of
the city, activity apparently having
frozen up with the weather.

CATERPILLARs A NUISANCE

Vashon-Maury island is plagued
with caterpillars. Residents are
just as apt to find one crawling
along the edge Of the dinner plate
as on the coat collar. Many trees
are masses Of the rcpulsive .'orms
and they may be seen c.@wling
everywhere, seeking a place to
spin a web preparatory to enter
ing the pupa stage. There is one
consolation and that is since the
advent Of warm weather the ich-
Ineumon fly has resumed her work
of laying eggs on the caterpillars
in such numbers that next year the
pest should be pretty well cradi-
Gated. This fly deposits from one
TO three eggs on the head or body
of the caterpillar. When the cat
erpillar enters the pupa stage the
egg matches and the larvae enters
the body Of the pupa on which it
feeds. AS the flies seem to be alb
undant, judging from the number
of caterpillars bearing the death
mark on their heads, the crop
should be considerably lessencd an
other year.

SUMMER ARRIVES.

In direct contrast to the sever

a spell of real summer weather
descended upon the Puget Sound
the first of the week. Tuesday was
the warmest day, the thermometer
having climbed to the 80 mark.

the temperature was above 100,
making it decidedly uncomfort-

was not quite so warm, and since
that time it has been more com
Portable. The change in tempera-
