WARM WEATHER IS
MELTING THE ICE
Harmt to Stop Unlew There ii a
Decided Change in Tem
perature. ONE-THIHD OF CROP IS CUT
The warmer weather has put a
crimp in the Ice harvest and unless
tber is a change, cutting will cease,
to be resumed when It becomes
colder and after a freeie.
Irge forces of men are working on
the Ice at Carter lake, the reservoirs and
Seymour lnke. Everywhere, however,
the water la over the loe to a depth of
one-half to an Inch and constantly
growing deeper. The snow out on the
shores of the lakes and ponds Is melting
rapidly and the water is flowing down
on the Ice. softening and honeycoming
the surface.
In the territory tributary to Omaha
there has been a week of pretty good
weather for harvesting lee and about
one-third of the normal crop has been
gathered and housed. So far the Ice has
been of an excellent quality and of about
the thickness to handle with convenience
and profit. Ice cut now rune around
twelve Inches in thickness.
Two 'Weeks More.
It la estimated that to secure the nor
mal crop of Ice. about two weeks more of
freealng weather would be required. Thla
is expected and the probabilities are that
when the next cold spell cornea, electrio
lighting facilitlea will be put In at most
of the fields, so the work of cutting and
packing can be continued night and day.
Out In the state, at Gothenburg and
west, where the I'nlon Paclfto la har
vesting its supply of lee, so far the warm
weather has not Interfered with gather
ing the crop. There the only thing that
has Interfered with the ' work is the
shortage of cars, they having been all
pressed Into the grain and freight carry
ing business.

Where would you think the lee wouJ
freese the thickest, on nlacld Carter
lake or on the trubld, swift-flowing Mis

The class answered with unanimity and
assuranco "on Carter lake, of course."
You are wrong and may all go to tho
foot of the class.
The ice Is from three to six Inches
thicker on the Missouri than on the lake.
We have the unimpeachable word of
Colonel Lucius Alphous Welsh for this
statement. He has gone out with his
little two-foot rule and measured It. Or,
at least, he has aent his minions and
myrmidons to do It with the Instruments
of science.
"We have from fifteen to seventeen
Inches of lee on the river," says the
colonel, "while on the lake there la only
from nine to twelve Inches. Another
fact Is that on th lake the thickness
varies with great auddennesa. The Ice
harvester find a wide range of twelve
Inch Ice and then will auddenly come
on acres and acre of It where the thick
ness Is only nine Inches. It 1 unex
