Resident Engineer G. Maitland, Di'
vision Engineer Otis Thayer and Su-
pervisor P. A. Beck of the bridge and
building department of the Wyoming
division were here this morning, look
ing after the coming ice harvest on
the Laramie river. Ice is now eight
inches thick, of excellent quality, and
there is prospect that it will grow
thicker during the present cold spell.
viii Build Four.
Messrs. Maitland and Beck informed
a reporter for this paper that the COM
pany would in all probability erect at
least four large ice houses on the river
bank here, each to be 80 by 80 by 16O
feet, in which a large mount OF ice
will be stored this winter. Requisi-
lions for the buildings have been re-
ceived and Mr.. Beck is expecting
orders to gather the material and pro-
coed with the work without delay. Mr..
Maitland expressed it as his opinion
that suitable sidetracks and switches
to accommodate the new ice houses
would soon be ordered.
Story Printed Months Ago.
Several months 6 The Republican
stated that the company had in on
temptation the erection of ice houses
here and the storing of ice for the
dining car and hotel service, as well
as the icing of certain refrigerator
cars in transit. At that item it was
also stated that Laramie river ice
ranked higher in quality than n 9TH
err harvested by Union Pacific, being
clear and free from foreign matter to
a very large extent. 1t was preferred
for the dining car and hotel service
for this reason.
Contractor Getting Ready.
The plans were drawn for the houses
here. and the tract along the river
bank was surveyed for sidetracks, the
acquisitions having recently been re-
ceived by the division officials at Chey-
enne. The plant will be installed here.
Mr.. Knadler, the contractor for the
harvesting of the crop, is having his
tools placed in excellent shape for the
beginning of the harvest, which will
be not long delayed if the ice becomes
of proper thickness.

ice CREAM VERY THIN.
Samples Examined by State Chemist
Made Mostly of Water.

Since the crusade for pure food has
been on in this country the state
board of health has taken a whack
at about every commodity in this line
that is sold in the state and with bene-
ficent results in many instances HARD
~ an article of food has not been IN
vestigated and reported on Dy the
state chemical experts and their latest
efforts are being devoted to an an
alysis of the various brands OF ice
cream, which are on sale In various
parts of the state
Many samples of this ice cream
have been secured, chiefly from the
larger cities by DR.. S. J. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board of health,
and turned over to Prof. E.. H. S Bail
ey, the state chemist at Kansas Uni
versity He has made an analysis OF
many Of the samples and it is likely
that a partial report from him on this
subject will be ready for publicity in
the November bulletin of the state
board which will be issued within
week or ten days. These analyses Will
show that very little deleterious mat
ter has been found in the ice cream,
only two samples showing the pres
ence of personalities. But there is a
great difference in the quality of the
ice cream on sale.
IT was down at Lawrence the 9TH
err day. said DR.. Crumbine today,
land Professor Bailey told me that he
had been making good progress with
the analysis of the ice cream sam
pies. Up to date he has not found
much matter in any of them which is
really deleterious. and only two of the
samples examined so far have been
found to contain preservatives. But
he has found great differences in the
quality of the ice cream on sale, and
this will be interesting to the people
of the state when it IS made public.
Probably we will be able to report
partially in the bulletin for this
month.
in some of the samples it has been
found that the milk fat was as low as
three per cent and that it ranged from
this up to fourteen per cent You can
imagine that ice cream with only three
per cent milk fat in it is not very nu-
tritious. In order to thiclen this class
of stuff up gelatine and starch are
used"
DR. Crumbine stated also that the
November bulletin will contain re-
ports from Professor Willard, the
state chemist at Manhattan, on the
results of further analysis by him of
samples of butter on sale in the state.
and that these results will prove to be
most interesting.
