DULL FREIGHT TRAFFIC.

Mr.. Wight Sees Little Change for the Bet
ter in the Iron Situation.
General Western Freight Agent c. s..
Wight, of the Baltimore and Ohio road,
returned from the rail and lake meeting
in New York yesterday. Mr.. Wight
said the old differentials of last, year
were re-established. subject to the approval
of President Hill, of the Great Northern
road, whose line was not represented. Mr.
Wight sees little encouragement in the local
iron situation, and he does not think that a
reduction in rates will help business very
much.
The Santa Fe agents complain of the dull
ness in the Southwest. Little, if any
freight, has been shipped from this territory
into that section of late.

The citizens of the Eighteenth ward held

against the absence of lights from Fifty-frst

trio lights along here, and the merchants
claim that opportunity is afforded thieves of
breaking into stores through lack Of proper
lighting.

bleacher and thence TO the drying yard.
This new device of Hunt Il Ball does
away with all this unnecessary work,
and not only saves the handling but also
much time, as one of these handy trucks
is SO quickly loaded and unloaded that
1t will do the work of ten of the old style
trucks that are now in common use for
this purpose.
The running gear of this truck is SINH
lar to that of common farm wagon on a
small scale. Resting on the holsters are
two fixed bed pieces as near the wheels
as practicable. Over these bed pieces rests
movable frame of the same size upon
four anti-friction rollers one and half
inches in diameter, connected by light
iron framework, set in notches cut in
both bed and frame about one foot from
the ends and three-quarterS Of an inch
in depth. From the lowest point of the
notch in the bed forward to the top of the
bed piece is an inclined plane two and q
half inches long, and in the frame above,
from the top of the notch backward, is
also cut an incline parallel with that in the
bed of the truck. At the front end of the
bed are two levers to which the movable
frame is connected by rods upon the side,
by the forward action of which the frame
is moved forward upon the anti
friction rollers. The point of con-
tact of these rollers being
OlTGCLly ODpOSllS Tue 1TdI1G uOG only
climbs the incline, but the roller also
climbs the incline plane in the bed of the
truck, thus raising the movable frame
one and a half inches on the diameter
Of the anti-friction rollers. The leverage
thus obtained by the action of the anti
friction rollers and the lever is such that
pull of sixty pounds upon the
lever will raise, upon this movable
frame, load one ton in weight.
The trays of fruit when filled at the
cutting bench are piled in tiers on q
framework, SO constructed in hight and
width as to allow the truck to be rolled
under them when the movable frame is
lowered. The truck once placed under
the tiers of trays, the lever is pulled for
ward, picking up the load, which is then
taken to the ebleacher, where it is dropped
by the backward movement of the lever
upon q similar frame to that at the cut
ting bench, and the trays are likewise re-
moved from the blsacher to the drying
yard.
The inventors of this truck expect to
be able to arrange this anti friction roller
device for use in many other lines aside
from that mentioned. where rapid lifting
and hauling away of material of various
kinds is essential They have not COM
menced the construction of the Fruit
Dryers Handy Truck as yet, but are
about to contract with California parties
to construct them on large scale, as
there seems to be an indication that they
will meet with a ready sale.

HUMBOLDT WAKING UP.

There are evidences that the people of
Humboldt County are waking up TO the
fact that they have one of the grandest
counties of the State, and that all they
need to bring them prosperity and wealth
is better facilities for communication
with the outside world. a gentleman
writing from Eureka to friend in this
city says:
1.-THE Chamber of Commerceof this city
is now about to prepare a memorial, in
which shall be set forth much showing
the wealth and prosperity of the county,
to influence legislation in Congress, and

Which TO continue the improvements now

entrance to our harbor. 1t will be in all
respects reliable, and prepared with the
greatest care. Up to the present time we
have done little in the way of advertising
our county. We seemed until recently
self-satisfed. The dairyman was willing
to live looking at the acre that will keep
COW the year round; the timber-owner
to keep his quarter section of redwood,
that yields so handsomely on his invest
ment; and the laborer receiving more, on
an average, than in any county in the
State, did uot exert himself to satisfy
others less fortunate that we have the
most desirable part of the State for in
dustrious settlers.
Happily for us the spirit has changed
We have seen other parts of the State
less inviting and encouraging than our
own grow rapidly and rich. We readily
recognize that such results are largely at
tributed to superior facilities for travel
and transportion-the railroad, which we
are without. Now the idea that we are
acting upon is, that in order to secure
that which we most desire, railroad to
connect our county with the outer world,
we must build up and increase our popu-
lation-in other words, have population
large enough to make it an inducement
for railroad company to come for the
products of our people. In this effort we
are meeting with fair measure of sue
cess. Our chief disadvantage at present
is the difficulty we experience in induc-
ing persons to undergo the trials OF a sea
trip to get here. am convinced that the
people of this county would give half
million of dollars to overcome this OBJ
