NOT A TON OF ICE Has Yet Been Stored in the Borough for Summer Use. “There’ll be water enough In the Quinebaug to float a Dreadnaught if this thing keeps up much longer,” was the way one man put it Wednes- day during his observations on the weather conditions. As it is, the usual course of the river has not been ade- quate to carry the great amount of water that has come down in the past week and the overflow has sub- merged bordering lands until they ap- pear like lakes. Worrylng about a water famine is a thing of the past, but worrrying about ice ig still among the list of local troubles, Not a ton of lce has been stored for next =wm- mer's use In the borough, The rivers have broken up and what remains on the jakes and reservoir was worn to a film in Wednesday's storm. M. H. Trail of Poquonoc, who was zoing to cut 5,000 tons at Alexander's lake, has gone home in despalr and other deal- ers are hoping against hope that a cold snap wil! develop and relleve the situ- atlon. Ice will be had, of course, if it becomes necessary to ship it here Dext summer; but consumers do not relish the prospect of paying the high- er prices that necessarily would fol- low. Personals.

Porter dled last _year, leaving a large property to be @isposed of by will, one of the be- auests in that instrument was of the | genus of the .~ white elephant. The | Porter homestead at Blandford, Mass., | where she and John Addison Porter | had delightfully entertained in sum- | mertimes past, was left to the town of Blandford, with the stipulation at- tached that it should be maintained as | a country club. | |~ Blandford people are hard headed, | and they shook these hard heads nage- 1y and declined to accept the paiw eie- | phas, as its keep would involve a big | arnual expenditure, But the town has | | become quite a mountain resort for | Hartford and other people, and last | summer a real country club was founa ed, composed of citizens and summe | resorters. A few days ago a meeting was held and it was decided that the club would purchase the estate, which has revert- sd and is now in the administrator's hands. -~ BCHOOLBOY'& DEATH GCauss of Special Town Mesting at Plainville—Pupil Hoisting Flag, Fell from Roof. In_compliance with the wishes of the Plainville school board and the se- lectmen, as expressed at a recent joint nieeting of both boards, the seleotmen have issued a call for & special meet- ing, to be held in the town hall on the evening of Saturday, February 27, for | the purpose of taking such action as nay be deemeded advisable regarding the paying of the funeral expenses of Cyril E. Myers, who was killed by fall- ing from the schoolhouse while holst- {ng the school flag on January 12. No- tice of the meetihg has ben posted as equired by law. The opinion seems to be general that a sum at least sufficient to cover the expense incurred in the funeral will be voted, although some of the' residents state that some damages should be awarded to the parents of the unfor- | tunate youth, for they contend that | should civil proceedings be instituted the courts would award big damages, as the plointiff would bave a clear case agalnst the town. - Cleweland's BAKING POWDER A pure grape Cream of Tartar Powder.
