Urged to Accept Stock for
Their Claims Against
Company.
PLAN TO BE OUTLINED
President Magruder to Prepare Cir
cular Letters Setting Forth Advan-
tage Of Keeping Plant in
Operation.

An effort was made yesterday after
noon al meeting of the creditors OF
the Standard Dairy and Ice Company
which is now being operated by the
court. 20 stimulate interest among the
creditors TO an extent that they might
see the 3dvisability of accepting stock
in the company at dollar for dollar, ia
lieu of their claims. The meeting was
held on the second floor Of the building
occupied by William j. Zeh, at l-SI q
street northwest
DR.. @. Lloyd Magruder, president OF
the company, was requested 10y unan-
im0us vote to prepare, i'm the near fu-
turc. circular letters setting forth tine
practical good which might be derived
by the creditors II they should accept
stock I'm the company Many of those
present had, previous 90 making this re-
quest consented To che proposition as
set forth by DIT. Lagruder relative 10
the acceptance OF stock, but a few min
utes after voic,ng their approval Of this
plan made protest on the ground that
they did not thoroughly understand the
situation. II was then decided that a
more advisable plan would be To have
circular letters printed containing a de-
tailed explanation, so that all would then
be enabled 10 give the proposition care
Iul consideration, and. incidentally. be
allowed time 10 deliberate before taking
any definite action.
The plant and machinery. DR.. Magru-
der explained, would not, if sold again
al public auction, bring enough TO pay
of une-tenth OF the claims against the
company. This fact was clearly demon
sJratod 10 those present by DIT. Magru-
der, and it was then that the suggestion
was made that creditors take stock In
the company, and thus keep the plant
in running order so that they might
eventually realize something on their
claims.

TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC
DISCUSSED BY Herring

A doubt that the present mild cpl
demic of typhoid fever in Washington
comes from the water supply t<ough
the filtration plant was expressed by
Prot Rudolph Herring. one Of the en-
gineers who planned the local water
filtration system. before an audience il
New Orleans. La. last night.
"If the typhoid does come from the
water supply" said Prof. Herring, then
il is because the filters have not been
properly operated. There is no reason
why the system in Washington should
not render the water practically pure,
and if il is being properly operated.
am certain that il does So"

Couldn't Mix The Bicycle.

Some years ago, soon after bicycles
began to be freely used throughout the
United States, an agent for New York
house turned up at a village in Central
New York. He expatiated to an old
farmer upon the virtues of the new ma
chine, dwelling upon what a time-saver
it was, and withal how fashionable it
would be for the old farmer to be able
to ride down to the village on one of
the new-fangled machines whenever he
wanted to.
why" said the salesman, whenever
you go to the postoffice, bank, or store,
everybody will stop and stare at Farmer
Wilson, and pretty soon you'll be the
most-talked-of man in the whole coun-
ty,"
THAT may be So" replied the farmer,
"but tell you I'm a-needin' a good
| new cow mon l am one O them things
you're a-talSin' about"
Nevertheless, the agent extracted a
promise that the old man would save
up his money and purchase a bicycle
when the agent came around in the fall.
According to promise, the agent was
on hand in the fall with the wheel The
farmer took him in charge and carried
him out to the lot and showed him a
fine Jersey cow. 4
That's what I bought with the money
l saved up for you," said the farmer
And without waiting for the agent to
recover from his surprise he went on
Il lowed that l needed the cow mon
did the bicycle, an there she is. Amt
she beaut"
When the agent recovered his breath
he said You'll look funny riding that
COW to town, won't you?"
"Ya'as," drawled out the old farmer,
but I'd look darned sight funnicr
tryin' to milk bicycle"

new forests by the national govern
ment on the wide level prairies and
bare, rolling foothills which are now
supposed to be among the waste places
of the land and fit only for grazing
ground for few stray cattle and
sheep.
1t is the vast possibilities of forest
planting and timber production in this
region that make 1t almost a crime
against future generations to part
with the land In its present condition
to stockmen under such 4 scheme as
the kinkaid bill for the creation of
large grazing estates in private own
ership.
The mining interests more immedi-
ately than any other ought to oppose
this 640-acre homestead idea anywhere
in the great plains or Rocky mountain
states and help to inaugurate a great
national policy of planting new for
ests. not only to furnish wood and
timber for the mines but to conserve
and increase the rainfall, regulate the
flow OF the rivers, stop floods and fur
nish water for irrigation

that would mako him feel the full
weight of an outraged national public
sentiment. CApplause) They are not
liable to punishment crlminally, but
they are morally responsible for every
fraud committed under the timber and
stone act since they shelved the bill to
repeal it passed by the senate in the
last session of congress.
But 1t is not enough merely to re-
peal the timber and stone act. Every
acre of public forest lands or brush
or woodlands which conserves a water
supply should be at once embraced in
permanent forest reserves, the title to
be always retained by the national
government and the stumpage of ma
tured timber only to be sold.
Wonderful Possibilities of the Arid
Region.
The whole great plains region
should be studied and developed as a
vast area which can be transformed
from a semi-arid region to one of
great fertility and more humid climate
by the planting of immense areas,
hundreds of thousands of acres, Of
