Sending Plants by Mail.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator B.
K. Tillman has been informed by the
post Office department that, after con-
sideration by its legal advisers, the
decision has been reached that no
change can be made in the rate Of
postage on cabbage plants, except by
legislation, as the present rate of
one cent for each two ounces of seeds,
bulbs, roots, plants, etc, is fixed by
the statute.
Senator Tillman thought that the
Postmaster General might, by a sim
pie order, change the rate so as to
give the plants the benefit OF the
parcel post, and conducted a long cor
respondence with this end in view.

ANDERSON MAN INvENTs LAMP.
Says that 1t Will Give Double Light.
No Added Cost.
(Anderson IntelligencerD

p. G.. Osteen, who conducts a bar
ber shop in Anderson, has just COM
pleted the invention of a new type OF
electric light globe, which bids fair
to revolutionize this industry. He
has had drawings made of his plan
and will submit them to an expert
at once to consider the possibility Of
putting them on the market. Mean
while he is securing patent on the
article, application having already
been filed in Washington.
The lamp is constructed somewhat
on the style of the new globe, with
glass tube running down through
the center for a space of two inches,
this tube being one inch in diameter.
The tube is silvered on the inside so
as to give great rejecting power, and
by the arrangement Of the filament
circling the tube, together with this
rejecting power from the silvering,
the candle power Of the lamp will be
doubled while the same amount of
current will be consumed.
Mr.. Osteen some time ago invent
ed the shaving cup which uses LIQUID
soap and Is entirely sanitary. A COM
pany has been organized to manufac-
ture this mug in Anderson.
Mr.. Osteen has also devised a sys-
Ienl lof preventing rallrOad wrecks
which he hopes will prove success
full. Some time ago the New York
and New Hampshire railroad offered
prize OF $4,000 to any man who
would plan some system for prevent
ing wrecks. Mr.. Osteen went to
work, and recently forwarded his
plans to the railroad company. He
has received a letter from an official
or the road requesting him TO ma k q
few changes and alterations in the
plan and return to them. He has
made these changes and the plans
have been returned. The first plan
provided for a third rail. The lat
ter for trolley.
Mr.. Osteen explains that it is a
simple thing, merely an automatic
device, operated by electricity, which
shuts off the steam and puts on
brakes when two trains get within
each others danger zone.

Probation Officer A. w. Swanson had

Faubion related the entire transac-
ton between him and H. F. Davis,
whereby the former became proprie-

BROTHERS ARE LOST
AND ONE RESCUED

Santa Barbara, March 12.--Wan-
dering in the last stages of eXhaus-
ton on the edge of the Sisquoc ranch
in the Santa Barbara mountains, Ge-
naro Fernandez was found al few
days ago by vaqueros. Eight days
before he and his brother Daniel
started from Maricopa without
blankets or food, to cross the range.
Daniel Fernandez could not keep
up under the diet of acorns, grass
and herbs, which they had to resort
to when they became lost, and prob
ably perished. Realizing that both OF
them must perish if they stayed to-
gether he urged his brother to SO
ahead in search of help. George, Fer
nandez did so. A searching party has
gone out from Santa Maria in an Ell
fort to find the missing man.
The news of their hardships, the
finding of Genaro Fernandez and tn.
probable death of. his brother, reach
ed here today. The parents of the two
live at 144 South Gless street, Los
Angeles.
Going to Bakersfield for railroad
work, they were sent to Maricopa,
from where they decided to go TO
Santa Barbara. Genaro said they
were informed there was good trail

across the valley for the foothills.
At the top of the ridge they We're
caught in snowstorm which lasted
two days. Their food consisted of
grass, herbs, and acorns from wood
pecker holes in the trees.
The rivers were flowing so high
that Genaro Fernandez could not
ford them, and had to climb up and
down ridges in his efforts to reach
help.

All indications point to very close
finish in the race for the $1,275 Hup-
mobile and the other valuable prizes
to be awarded by the Press one week
from Saturday night. -Four power
full rivals seem to possess almost
equal strength and it is impossible
to determine which of them is most
likely to win the Hupmobile, the $500

ders, each of which is worth 5000.
One thing is certain ard that is that
all four are practically assured of
very handsome prizes.
$4,000 in One Day.
Another popular candidate whose
name has not been found at the head
of the list recently, due to the fact
that she entered later than most OF
the others, is making rapid strides
and only yesterday gained $4,000
votes in one day. Perhaps she was
unusually fortunate yesterday, but a
few more such ''lucky days" would
place her up among the big Four"
and her campaign is being watched
with interest as well as with some
apprehension.
Reserves Being Sacrificed.
In view of the keen competition fot
first place, and the heavy sacrific If
reserve votes in order to gain the
lead in the score list, it begins TO
look as if candidates would find il
almost impossible to retain any votes
in reserve at all up to the last day.
All recognize that it is highly i'm
portant for them to have reserve
as a protection against the use of
