DAIRYMEN ORGANIZE.
A Largely Attended and Enthusiastic
Meeting Held in Georgetown
Monday Night.

A largely attended and interesting
meeting OF dairymen was held Monday
night in georgetown, the object OF
which was to form a permanent organi-
zation. Representatives were present
from the District Of Columbia and the
adjacent sections OF the States OF Mary
land and Virginia, among whom were
many well known men, The meeting
was called to order by Mr. J. J. Horri-
gan, who, after explaining the purpose
for which it had assembled announced
that the first step to be taken was the
election of temporary officers. The
following gentlemen were then chosen
for the several positions to be filed:
Chairman Mr.. J. ]. Horrigan.
Secretary Mr.. Joseph Wise.
Treasurer, Mr.. w. w. Johnson.
Before going into the work OF form
ing permanent organization, the meet
ing, at the suggestion OF Mr.. Horrigan
discussed the leading features of the
bill now awaiting action in the House
of Representative for the regulation OF
the sale of milk and cream in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Remarks OF a con-
servative nature were made by a num-
Der of gentlemen and those portions OF
the proposed law which are regarded as
being burdensome were talked over at
some length. The importance of a
permanent organization, it was explain
ed had been recognized for some time
and several efforts, which were made in
that direction last year had failed, for
one reason or another, of the accom-
pishment OF the object in view.
The dairymen then took up the ques-
ton of a permanent organization, and
upon motion. it was unanimously de-
cided that such an association would be
for the best interests OF all men en-
gagged in the milk business in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Chairman Horrigan
then stated that nominations for per
manent officers were in order The
names of many gentlemen were pro-
posed for the several positions to be
filed The following were finally chosen
as the permanent officers:
President, Mr. w. N Febrey.
Vice-President Mr. John Sherwood.
Secretary, Mr. John T. Barber.
Treasurer, Mr., w. w. Johnson.
After the installation OF the perma-
nent officers a committee consisting OF

and present to the association at its
next meeting a constitution and by
laws The following gentlemen were
named: E. H. Jones, Geo. A. Wise, l.
Quackenbush, Valentine Wahler and
w, A. Simpson.
At a late hour the association ad-
journed to meet again next Monday

shlpb aiding In Germany.

Consul Winter reports from Anna
berg, Oct. 2, 1900: During the past
ten years, ship building in Germany
has become a great industry. Old
wharves have been torn away and new
and larger ones constructed in their
places. The present capacity of all
the wharves does not meet the de-
mands of the German merchant ma
rine. Many orders must still be placed
in foreign countries. At present twen-
ty-two ships are being built in Eng
land tor Hamburg alone. During the
first half of the present year the dock
owners and shipbuilders Of Stettin,
Kiel, Flensburg, and Bremen have in
creased their capital stock on the
whole, by s1,37S,OOC. Many new eh-
terprises are being planned. In the

Motor Posts In Au,hnlrn.

A frequent difficulty encountered by
postal authorities in Australia is the
cheap and expeditions delivery OF
mails in outlying localities. Many Of
these places are hundreds OF miles
from the nearest railway line, and the
route is apt to be through drouth-
stricken country, where the dry roads
are at times impossible even by cam
els. This is conspicuously the case in
tropical Queensland. But the govern
ment Of that colony has risen to the
emergency, and has decided to try the
experiment of dispatching mails to
"out back" by motor car. The result
is likely to be awaited with interest in
other places than DETERMINATIONS
