It is nice to have school commence early in the spring so that children will have the mud and slush to go through, and then commence late in the fall so as to have the cold weather and deep snow for the little ones to plod through.

OLD FORGE

The warm rains and bright sun that have visited us for the better part of two weeks have melted the snow in the woods so that work in getting out logs has been abandoned for now and many teams from the camps have been sent out. Ice in the lakes is getting porous and a channel has already made its way through the ice in the river in front of the hotel, to First Lake, and each days sun with the mild air greatly weakens its strength, that now for pedestrians to cross on the ice would be quite unsafe. In 1900 the ice lasted til the first of May, in 1901 the middle of April, the ices was quite good and the ice on Fourth Lake was used by footmen. Last year was an unusually early break up for the woods, the first week in April the ice was nearly out of the lakes.
