BIG LITIGATIONS
Suits Involving Millions
of Dollars.
They Will Be Entered Against the
Panama Contractors and Others
for lnfringements of Patents.

AS consequence of the favorable result
of the action of Denis Heating against the
San Francisco Bridge Company for util-
ization Of the plaintiffs patent dredging
and ditching machines without compensa-
tion to the patentee vast number of pros
ecutions will be instituted against other
companies and individuals in various por.
tions of the country upon the same
grounds.
These suits already numbe about 300.
Steps have already been taken to institute
proceedings in several instances, and the
amount involved will foot up many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
Among the first cases to be prosecuted
will be one against ontractors on the Pan
anna canal. The patents of Heating were
utilized on that work almost from the be-
ginning, and for which, it is said, he never
received a cent. In almost all work of a
similar character all over the country the
product of Keaiing's skill has played a
prominent part, and it has been only
through lack of means or an energetic
spirit behind the matter that steps were
not taken long ago 10 cause the persons
who have made fortunes by the use OF
the device 10 reimburse the patenteP.
TIE Invention Of Heating is the endless
chain of buckets which is familiar 10
every person who ever watched a ditchip o
machine In operation, and is used upon
almost all of them. He secured patents
on the device many years ago. He had for
years prior TO formulating the plans for the
machine worked on large contracts in the
East where many men were killed In the
excavations by caying earth, etc His ex-
perience was OF the practical nature. which
fitted him for the work OF perfecting a
machine to obviate existing difficulties.
and the success which crowned his efforts
was attested by the universal adoption OF
his ideas in after years.
But this success was not of pecuniary
nature. In fact, Keating's invention was
amply appropriated outright by every.
body who chose to use it, and the story Of
his struggles against adversely for years Is
al interesting one.
Hehry b. Siavin. who made millions out
of his Panama canal contracts, is one oil
the men, it is said, who was a beneficiary
of Keating's skill and ingenuity. Finally

deceased orator, Thomas Starr King, anC

King paid for the construction of model
and as soon as possible commenced The
proceedings against the San francisco
Bridge Company which resulted in vic
tory for the plaintiff. This action wa.
taken more particularly to establish tn,
validity of Keating's patents than for The
purpose of securing large damages, as th,
decision virtually gives Heating title t
the invention. and this action of the cour
will be used as basis for future proceed
iDgs against the larger corporations.

HEAVY FREIGHTS.
Greatest Shipments East
in Our History.
California Products Find Ready
Market-The Conditions of Trade
Reversed This Year.

No resident of California who Is inter-
ested in the States development and prog
ress can fail to be pleased by the
evidence of prosperity shown by the
enormous shipments of products to the
East that are not only now. but have been
all summer, passing over the railroad lines
70 that section.
Southern Pacific officials state that the
,east-bound California products last Satur-
day exceeded in proportion that of any
dsy in the history of the road.
"A few years ago." said General Freight
agent Smurr yesterday, "we were haul
ing train after train of empty cars from
this coast to the East. In fact almost all
the freight traffic was in goods brought
from the East here. Now, these conditions
are directly reversed. and the freight ship
ments from the West to the East greatly
exceed those in the opposite direction.
Low prices OF products in the Eastern
markets had bad effect upon the market
for time this season, but this phase Of
the matter now looks much better, and
producers are cOrrespondingly encouraged.

Smurr, "as if the balance of trade was
slowly but surely working around in our
favor"
AS the proposed consolidation of the
various Streeicar lines of the city will take
in the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
street horsecar lines also, it will cause
some alterations in the plans of the
Southern Pacific road relative to the
electric line to South San Francisco and

the latter is, OF will be, one of the factors
in the cons Oxidation, and as Fourth street
is thought to be the most feasible and
most direct route for the line, the plans of
the new company, so far as they have
been outlined. contemplate the adoption
of that route.

down by the people of Oakland Wednes-
day night, and which it was alleged had
been constructed by the Southern Pacific

said yesterday that the company had
