' j The thermometer was 20 degrees' j below zero as we went down after t i the mail , but the wind is not blow-1 ing and it did not seem as cold as when the thermometer was 50 do- ; ! grees higher and the wind blow- , i ing.

Teams hitched to huge ice hooks pull the ice through thei chute from the lake to the cars. ' Some men saw ice , while a team or one horse and a man lays off t the ice with an ice plough , cutting down deep to make less sawing. Others with prod poles steer the ice along channels of water to the beginning of the ice chute where 15 to 20 teams ply up and down the hill from the lake to cars or to , .J - - - B.v The Wrtv John ClarUwn has been serious ly ill , but is better at present. i IMrs Keelihas been staying : on their claim , about 15 miles south of town.
