WASHINGTON, Oct S.-A heavy and

Under ne present freight arrangements,
rates on lemons from California points to
eastern points are 10 cents a hundred
pounds less than the rates on oranges,
grape fruit, lines and other citrus fruits.
The present freight concession to lemons
was made by the transcontinental carriers
because OF q disposition on the part OF the

GLACIER POINT Cal. Oct S.-President
Taft arrived here this evening. The drive
from WawOna. where he spent the fore
noon visiting the Mariposa big tree groves
was over twenty-six miles of mountain
road and the president was ready for bed
Immediately after dinner.
The president arose before dawn today
and started for the Sequoia trees in a
dense fog, which quickly cleared, however
as the sun found its way over the noun
tain tops. The president was deeply i'm
pl essed with the immense trees, especially
i'm the upper groves. He was photograp phed
at the base Of the Grizzly Giant, the big
gest and oldest tree in the world, and he
was snapped in the stage as it passed
through the trunk of the Wawona, one of
the largest of the forest monarchs.
The president was continually on foot
in the grove and stood for minutes at d
time in contemplation OF the forest giants.
The stage ride from Wawona to Glacier
carried the president to an elevation of
100 feet. Tonight, guarded by cavalry
mon, he is sleeping at an elevation Of
1000 feet in little hotel here.
With the setting of the sun the weather
became cold and a cheerful fire gave a
welcoming greeting to the presidential
party.
Early tomorrow morning the president
will see the sun rise over the Yosemite. He
will then climb down a three-mile trail to
the floor of the canyon and spend the
day travelling to points of interest at the
foot of the granite walls. Saturday night
will find the president again at the park
entrance at lei Portal and Sunday morning
he will board his special train and head
for southern California. The president is
not adheTing to the strict diet he started
out to follow; the hospitable west has made
this impossible, The result has been consld-

CuItiSS Makes
Flight Under
Adverse Winds
Farman Machine is Damaged by Fall
and Repairs Will Take
Two Weeks.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. S.-Under adverse con-
ditions Glenn II. Curtiss, by a flight in
his bi-plane late this afternoon in Forest
park, received the applause and cheers
or the many thousands of persons who
had waited for hours for the wind to
slacken. George Francois Osmont and
Hugh A Robinson Of ST. Louis attempted
to make their machines fly and failed.
Osmont, after Curtiss had made his sue
cessful flight, tried a second time and
his machine was damaged by striking the
ground, but he was unnjured. Curtiss.
just at dusk, wheeled his machine out of
its tent and, facing a fifteen-mlle wind,
started his propeller and rose thirty feet
from the ground and flew the length of
the acre field. He covered a quarter of
mile and was aloft forty-flve seconds
The flight, which was his second of the
day. was made as not to dlsappoint the
multitude that surrounded the Aero club
and covered Art Hill in st, Louis largest
park.
With a short run on the ground the
, noted aviator caused his machine to rise
bird-lke. The bl-plane rose and fell
gracefully with the different air currents
and the outline Of the craft in the sky
brought forth many cheers.
He did not attempt TO make a turn, but
contented himself with bringing the ma.
chine to the ground at the feet of thous-
ands who stood at the east end of the
field.
Early this morning in the presence of the
members of the Aero club he remained in
the air a minute and a half and sailed
three quarters of a mile against a wind
whose velocity was five miles an hour
Osmont with the Farman bl-plane got
the front wheels of his machine In the
air in his second attempt late today and
in returning TO his shed he damaged the
machine by making too short turn. The
rudder and wheel on the left side Of the
lower plane we're snapped off and the sup
ports Of the plane broken. 1t will take
two weeks to repair the machine. The
damage was placed at $500.
The dirigibles Of Thomas Baldwin, Lincoln
Beachey and Roy Knabenshue were in the
air together. Badwin's big gas bag mar
rowly escaped ramming the little Beachey
flyer.
The gas machines sailed far out of the
Aero field and returned TO the starting
point safely.
