Procured Cedar Lake Ice For Local Consumption.

Frank G. Kresler, proprietor of the local ice business, had been trying for sevearl days to procure ice from adjacent cities, as the local supply was running short. This Tuesday morning he went to Cedar bake and succeeded in getting a car load for shipment today. He was promised a car load each week hereafter. Mr. Kresler has been supplying ice to the residence trade at 35 cents per hundred. It will be necessary to increase this price 50 per csnt in order to supply the shipped-in ice, which does not make an unreasonable price. It Is lower, we are informed, than In the cities where manufactured ice Is sold and than in many other towns where natural ice is sold. There is a big shrinkage on the shipped-in Ice and it must either be moved twice or demurrage paid if left In ears while being sold. Representative Fowler, of Illinois, Friday Introduced a bil] authorizing an investigation of the enforcement of the’ decree in the case of the United States against the American Tobacco company and also of the enforcement of the mandates of the supreme court In the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific and Standard Oil merger eases.
