.EsPEE TO SPEND
MORE FORTUNES
Million Goes for PRECEDING
Plants 10 Treat Perish
able Freight.
NEW SYSTEM FOUND GOOD
Sudden CHILLING Of Vegetable Matter
Causing Suspension OF
Processes Of Decay.

san Francisco. Oct. l9.-The Southern
Pacific RAILROAD company has an
nounced Its determination to expcnd
million dollars in the near future in
the construction of plants for pre-
cooling fruit and vegetables, accord
ing 10 the Roy Sprague system. the
object being to permit of long hauls of
perishable freight with little risk of de-
cay Two large plants, one at Rose
Vile and one at Cotton, will be erect
ed. the first capable of chilling 20 car
loads in four hours and the latter haN-
ing capacity tof 40 carloads in the
same time. To accomplish the same.
result in an ordinary ice plant would
require four days.
The company's scientists have dem
onstrated that the sudden chilling of
vegetable matter causes an absolute
suspension of the processes of decay
and the company announces that the
new method practically does away with
the loss of time and consequent loss by
decay in shipments of California fruits
and Vegctabl to eastern markets.
The Sprague device consists of a
plant equipped to force through the
loaded cars under vacuum pressure
blasts of air that have been previously
passed over ice. The vacuum removes
the warm air. thereby removing the

some Thing new
IN AERONAUTICs
C. w. Williams Has a Machine
That Will Prove a Revelation
In Stability.
IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TURTLE
Called the AIonop,anc--It Folds Back
And MucI, Less Cumbersome
Than Fixed Planes.

New, York. Oct. l9.-Aeroiautic in
ventors and Investigators believe that
in his monoplane now at the Morris
society Of New York, for practical
test, c.. W. Williams, of Richmond
Hill, has q machine which will prove IL
revelation in stability, il not in speed.
The greatest point in favor of the
Williams machine is its stability. 1t
has the appearance OF an enormous
parachute, and Williams asserts that i'll
case of accident in mid air 1t would
act AS one. and settle gently to the
ground without damage to airShip
or navigator. This action would be
due first, to the unusually large sus-
Timing surface and the air spaces be-
tween the four separate planes which
compose ii, and second, to the low point
ut which the weight OF machinery and
operator is suspended. Williams says
that /. Is impossible for his machine
TO turn over, and II this proves by
actual experiment to be fact, one of
the greatest dangers of aerial navigtion
VIII have been overcome
While the spread OF the planes In the
Williams machine is 30 feet, the frame
work on which the canvass is stretched
Is constructed to fold back on itself
when the machine is not in use, making
the mononlane much less cumbersome
than one with fixed planes and more
easily handled on the ground. The
whole sustaining surface of the -four
planes is about geo square feet ana the
weight OF the machine, with the opera :
tors Is about 600 pounds. making the
sustaining proportion about one pound
to the1s1uare foot. This is considerably
lower than any other aeroplane In
practical use.

GRAZING RATES FOR SHEEP
ON RESERVES REDUCED
tspecall TO the .Naws..,l

D. b.
Washington. d. c., Oct. l9.-Follow-
Ing out a statement made a year ago
at the meeting of the National Wool
Growers association in Salt Lake City,
Clifford Pinchot, forester and A. f,
\ Potter, assistant forester in charge of
tbs branch of grazing in the United
States forest service. have just an
nounced a%reduction Of 10 to Is pei. cent
in the rates for sheep grazing on ma
tlonal forests of the west This gem
eraI reduction IN the schedule of graz
ing rates will take effectafo the com
ing season Of 1909. Changes in market
conditions which have made the sheep
business less profitable this past year.
especially the greatly reduced prices
offered for wool and the depreciation III.
the value of mutton. make the an.
nouncement of great interest not only
to those who are interested IN the sheen
business but TO men Of every allied IN
dustry. In. 1907 when promises for re-
duced schedule We're made it was with.
the understanding between stockmen
and the forest service that the grazing
rates would not be changed for minor
fluctuations in the market which would
naturally occur from yearsto year. but
would apply only in case of radical or
unusual changes. The new scheduJ.,
does not affect cases where the mini
mum charge OF 5 cents per head has
already been allowed or specially low
rate has been fixed on account of some
local conditions. In most cases the
revised fees Will mean reduction of
about cent per head.
In liking the rates for grazing by
different kinds of stock, needs of home
steader and profits of business have
been taken into consideration.

cattle rustling and robbery generally.
Sheriff Alston captured Lyons, and
lodged him in the Big Horn Jail, while
he went after the rest of the gang. But
when Allston returned Lyons had ea-
capped TO the Hole in the Wall region,

his bird was in the UTAH state prison.

authorities to hand him over. This ne
