The death of Palo Alto caused gen.
uine grief in San Francisco, where the
famous stallion was as highly regarded
as if he had been an eminent citizen.
The attendants and others present
when the great horse died were affected
almost to tears. There was painful
silence for several minutes, unbrOken
until some one went to dispatch a
cablegram TO Senator Stanford in
Switzerland. Palo Alto was fairly
idolized by the senator, who loved the
horse next to the pet university which
he built to commemorate the untimely
death of his son.

duct, and by this latest movement they
think they have succeeded.

and run directly eastward to a point
on the New York, Ontario & Western
railroad, at or near Hancock, n. Y;
thence it will follow the line of the
railroad to Newburgh. on the Hudson
river, where it is proposed to erect re-
ineries, or where the oil can be shipped
to New York by rail or boat
The pipe line will be 212 miles long,
and will cost about s12, 900, ,00d. The
right of way has been obtained for the
entire distance, and it Is expected TO
have the line in operation by spring.
The new line is backed by the members
of the Independent Producers Pro-
tective association.
