and bean straw the year round. There is
no grass on this ranch.
Another feature which gives Mr.. Thomp-
son $ larch special value is its location 1t
reaches the limits of Ventura City, which
is the leading town in the county. 1t
lays betvee the ocean and the foot hills,
the laihGad running through the centre
1t is Mr. Thompson intention some
time to divide it into small lots and sell
it. Divided into ten acre lots and plant
ed to fluit it would easily support 2OC
families. If sold in lots at 800 per acre
a very low price for land of such quality
and situation-it would amount to S24O,-
600, nice sum for one farm.
Mr. Thompson home is in Santa Bar
bara, thirty miles from the ranch. He
has another large ranch near Santa Bar
bara city, besides considerable real estate
in the city. When engaged in other ways
he does not visit the Ventura ranch fol
several weeks. Once on visiting it after
long absence Mr.. Thompson went into
the dinning room and asked the cook tC
put something On Jne taDle 1Or MIN TO eat
The Chinese cook, who was a new conner
quietly prepared lunch and then notified
the one in charge that there was {
tramp in the DINING room who hat
ordered lunch.
1t requires great deal of business Ell
terprise to run ranch of such dimension
and make it pay. The expenses are enor
nous. Mr.. Thompson is a man of keel
hllSinesS ability He knows when to hn,
and when to sell. He is one of "Th
Old Timers in California and has don,
much in public and philanthropic ways t.
build up the city and county in which h
lives. f. S. FORBES.

Two Sisters Drowned.

The following taken from one Of the
Boston papers will be OF general interest;
for the young ladies were graduates of the
Randolph Normal school and had many
friends and acquaintance in town:
nThe village Of Cambridgeport, seven
miles from Bellows Falls, is in mourn ing
to-day Sunday for one of the saddest
drowning accidents that has occurred in
this vicinity for many years. The VIC
Tins are two young daughters Of Rev. F..
ID. Goodrich, retired Methodist minister,
Mr.. Goodrich has also two married
daughters, one residing in Montpelier and
another IN the West. His household con-
sisted OF his wife and the younger daugh-
tiers, Rosabel, IL, who was graduated from
the State Normal school at Randolph last
June, and Lillian, aged 20, who was grad
uated from the same school one wear ago.
About II this morning, in the temper
airy absence Of their mother, the girls told
their father they were going walking.
About 3 p, M, her daughters not having
returned, Mrs. Goodrich went to their
had changed their clothing evidently with
the intention Of bathing.
The father and mother fastened to the
one daughter in shallow water near the
shore. The mother drew it ashore.
An alarm was given at the village and
searching party organized. After some
time the body OF the other daughter was
found in IL feet Of water. Both had evil
IDENTIFY been dead for some hours.
The bodies were clad in improvised
bathing suits, which indicated a sudden
determination to 60 to the river for
frolic.
They were extremely bright and attrac-
tive girls and were graduated with high
honors. They were finely fitted for teach
ers and both were to teach the coming
year. One had already been engaged for
school in Springfield.
Fears are entertained that Mrs. Good
richs mind may give way under the ter
rible blow"

NM. ". ". Chambers Refrigerator Car.

MIR. w. w. Chambers Refrigerator Car
Mr.. Malcolm Townsend, in quite q
lengthy article in the New York Produce
Reriew, rehearses the history Of the evolu-
ton OF the refrigerator car, and from his
article the following extracts are taken; /.
"Mr. w. w. Chandler, general agent OF
the Star Union Line, died in Chicago
June ~, 1896.
was Mr.. Chandler, who, by personal SUI
pervision, built the first refrigerator car
that ever ran as freight carrier In the
world. To him Is due the initial idea
| from which has been evolved the present
perfected medium for bringing dairy prod
ucts out OF the far West, and giving to the
producers OF that distant territory the
benefits OF the great Eastern markets.
Mr.. Chandler in March, 1855, conceived
the plan OF developing the through freight
service by having 1t include perlshapie
freight through some process OF ice pro-
lection. To this end be secured permits
sion OF the Union Line to equip or remod-
ell some two or three dozen Union Line
cars after an idea he had long been devel-
oping; and when his cars were IN shape
and ready for the reception of freight, as
the word refrigerator was not well known,
he appropriated the household descrip-
tive ice box, the cars to be designated as
ice boxes on wheels These first refrig-
orator cars were crude affairs; they had
double sides, roofs and floors, doors ex-
cepted. The double spaces were packed
with saWdust. The fee was placed in
large movable boxes, which were slowed
on the floor in the doorway OF the car az
ter the freight had been trimmed down, a
hole having been cut in the floor to allow
the escape OF the water.
AT the time of the introduction OF these
cars butter was handled by Chicago COM
mission men, repacked by them into fir
kins, the outlying towns sending butter to
Chicago in shoe boxes, nail kegs or any
cooperage that could be obtained at a
country store.
The first shipment was dressed beef pur-
chased in Chicago and distributed in Jer-
sey City, and the Union Line was the first
to introduce Western dressed beef in New
York.
AS business increased, the success of the
ice boxes on wheels was demonstrated
beyond doubt, acting upon which few
believers began shipping on individual
account, until the demand exceeded ex-
pectations and equipment and, melted the
Union Line to the necessity OF larger
number OF cars, alive to which condition,
car with Improvements called by the
more aristocratic name OF refrigerator car,
the Diamond r, was evolved. The Key
stone' refrigerator followed as later inn
provement, the outcome of experience and
necessity, finally eliminating in the
Union Line Dairy Product Car, which
took the highest award at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893.
Mr.. Chandler reached nearly four score
years, living to see his ice boxes on
wheels develop into the refrigerator dairy
product car of to-day, perfected mechan-
icaI compartment car, which as trans
portation factor among car equipments OF
the railroads Of the United States repre-
sents an investment Of fully forty million
dollars"

Thomas b Reese came TO his death

made a post norton examination of
the body yesterday and found all the
vital organs in healthful condition ex-
cept the lungs, which were clogged and
iniiamed very badly.
There was no solid food in the stom-
ach, but a little liquid was found
therein. The stomach was slightly in
famed, as though from stimulants.
Coroner Hall and a jury composed OF
John Bot, r. l. Brennan and w. S.
Lewis examined q number of witnesses,
including George Nasefell and Frank
Lowe. two boys who first saw Reese
in the vacant house and who called
Officer Sullivans attention to the man 5

the Little Broom lodging house, identi-
fed Reese as a man who had come

He had a pint flask of whisky Wit,
him and remained in the room all the

raised some disturbance calling FOR
water, but Davis had seen very little

Alex johnson said he heard Reese
calling for water and carried him some.
Reese told him that he was hungry
and broke and he went to the Bon

Davis said that Reese paid him

THE CITY's FINANCES.
Not In n Very FIourishinG Condition
Vet

A review of the financial affairs of
the city discloses a rather iiscourag-
ing state of facts. The outlook is that
ere many months there will be a de-
ficiency greater than that with which
the administration has struggled for
the past few months. The expendi-
lures of the present council have not
been so enormously great, but the tax
levy of mills will be entirely made
quate TO meet the current expenses
and wipe out the legacies left by the
preceding council in shape of debts.
There is one thing the city fathers
are talking of inaugurating, and that
is the collection of licenses. The books
of the treasurer show that the arrear-
age from this source amounts to some
thing like $4,000.
This condition of affairs is said not
to be due in any way to negligence on
the part of the treasurer or his license
collector. but in these hard times many
merchants are closely pressed for
money and in some cases to enforce
payments would be a hardship. and it
is difficult to determine how to pro-
coed.
The financial straits in which the
city is. however. makes the burden a
heavy one to carry. When the esti-
mates OF the receipts and expendi-
lures for the year was made the license
receipts were of cours figured in, and
their non-collection throws all esti-
mates sadly into the back yard.
The license committee will probably
make some Investigations in the mat
ter soon.
