NEW STYLE ENGINES.
Union Pacific Making Some Import
ant Experiments.
Especial to The Herald.)


Ogden, Sept. 1.-THE Union Pacific
is experimenting with two new style
engines of the compound variety. They
are of the Baldwin make, and besides
the double-cylinder arrangement, al
lowing the use of the steam after the
first exhaust, the engines have a new
device known as the corrugated fire
box.
Instead of the usual arrangement of
two steel sheets fastened together with
stay bolts and the Intervening space
separated by a layer of water. the fire
boxes of the new compounds are of cor
rugated steel sheets so arranged as to
permit the expansion and contraction
resulting from the heat. The engines
are quite successful

Ardmore, o. T, Feb. 10.-The Ard
morite says that the first decision in the
famous land lease cases was announced
today. II will be remembered that since
January 1, more than 800 land lease suits
have been fled in the United States
courts The suits were the result Of the
act OF congress known az the Curtis bill.
which specifies that all land and grazing
leases should terminate on January l.
The Indians were the plaintiffs IN this
suit. They wanted 10 get possession o.
the land IN order 10 take their ailotments
The suit decided today viii in 4 large

Judge Townsend held. in the case of
Finch Y. Snider, wherein Finch sued for
possession Of land that the section Of the
Curtis act which provides that where val
liable and permanent improvements have
been made the defendant may hold the
land until the improvements are paid FOR,
is not IN CONFLICT with TIRE section that
provides that all leases terminate Janu-

PACKING HOUSE PROPOSITION
Is Engaging the Attention OF OkIahO-

Oklahoma City. o. T., Feb. 1.-THE
Times-Journal says;
Myerson. Krey & Co, Of St. Louis, have
made Oklahoma City proposition to
to put in a packing plant. providing the
commercial club procure for them pro-
pre- site. There are several sites which
these parties when they were here before
signified would do for a packing house,
and of course the people of the city Will
be expected to purchase the site and do
nate it to the packing house company,
These gentlemen. who are well known
packers, visited the city several months
ago, and were so favorably impressed
that they determined TO locate packing
house here providing the matter could
be arranged. A letter from them 10 the
city club statcst hat they will be here
In a few days to close up the transaction
The plant will cost in The neighborhood
of s150.0o0 or $4,000 Work on the plant
will begin as soon as all the preliminary
arrangements are closed.
As a field for packing house this point
is an excellent location. Hogs can be
raised here cheaper than in a colder
climate, as they can feed on the growing
wheat and alfalfa all the winter A
packing house would stimulate the rails
ing of hogs and cattle so that it would be-
come an immense industry and support
the institution The plant will employ a
large number of men, which would add
greatly to the growth of the city.

CITIES ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE
Supreme Court Finds for the City of
Norman in the Negro Case.

Guthrie, o. T., Feb. l0.-In the case of
]. J. Wallace, an Oklahoma City con-
tractor, agains the city OF Norman for
$4,000 damages the decision Of the lower
court in sustaining demurrer to Wal
lace's petition has been confirmed by the
supreme court. Wallace. therefore. can
collect no damages In July, 1895, Wal
lace went to Norman To put a tin roof on
building. He took with him a negro.
George Rogan, as helper. The people OF
Norman are prejudiced against allowing
negroes to live or work IN the town and
have succeeded in keeping negroes away.
A mob assaulted ROgan to drive him OUT.
Wallace interfered and both he and the
negro were badly beaten. Wallace's skull
was fractured and the sight OF one eye
destroyed. He brought suit against the
town government for personal and other
damages in the sum OF $4,000 on the
ground that the town was responsible
for not compelling it's officers 10 protect
him. The syllabus in the case written
by Judge Irwin. says: "A municipal cor
pOration is bound by the acts OF its Of
ficers only when within the charter or
scope Of their power. Acts outside OF the
powers Of the corporation or Of the officer
appointed 70 act for II. are void as re-
spects the corporation. and such corpora
ton IS not liable therefor"

NEW RAILROAD INDUSTRY
Making a Burnt Clay Ballast to Su-
percede Crushed Rock

Guthrie, o. T., Feb. 1O-Railroad neces-
sites have developed an entirely new in
dustry in Oklahoma and one which prom
ises future development. The Santa Fe
notably, in the past two years has ex-
pended many thousands of dollars in ball
lasting its roadbed ktth crushed rock. but
it in every likelihood this system will be
completely revolutionized to the very
great advantage and profit of Oklahoma.
The new system contemplates the use of
burnt clay instead of crushed rock for a
ballast, which is said Il be much better
and much cheaper for the purpose and a
big plant is already at work east Of Okla
homa City, descriptive of which the
Times-Journal says:
THE big ballast works east of the city
on the Robinson place are now in full
blast. The works burn clay for ballasting
railway tracks. and vast quantities are
used. It is said to be cheaper and better
than crushed rock. When ready for use
the ballast is a brick color and resembles
bricks that have crumbled into small
pieces while burning
The process of burning is simple. but
the magnitude Of contract makes the
works quite formidable.
The clay IS burned in huge pits very
much resembling charcoal or coke pits
