The Ice Horve.u
Prom Wednesday's Daily.
The ice harvest in Ottumwa is well
under way and if the present favorable
weather will continue a sufficient
length of time, this season will witness
the best lot of ice ever stored from
the Des Moines. Such is the opinion of
one of the oldest ice men in the city.
Thousands upon thousands of tons will
be stored within, the next few days,
the work thus required affording
plenty of employment to ic^le labor.
The ice above the dam is from 12 to
14 inches thick, and.as clear as crystal,
said to be the best ewr taken from this
part of the river.
