BUFFALO FACTORIES TO
RESUME OPERATIONS
DFFFALO, Dec. 30 It is believed
the first week in January will see nil
the large industrial plants of Buffalo
and vicinity resume operation with
their full working forces. The Slow
Steam Pump works is now within 00
men of its full working force and by
the middle of January will, it is said,

The managers of the Lnekawunna
steel plant have been holding daily con
ferences this week nnd expect to place
another portion of the plnnt in commis
sion early in January. Since forces
were reduced three mouths ago this ex
tensive plant, which, tinder normal con
ditions, give employment .to 10,000
workmen, has been repaired in all its
departments and when it goes back in
full blast it will be prepared to do
business for n long time without inter
ruption.

BIG SHIPMENTS OF
FRUIT FOR YEAR.
Millions Spent by Southern Pacific in
Building Refrigerator Cars to Handle
Enormous Business for Fruitgrowers
of Golden State.
NEW YORK, Dec. :in. Figures have
hi t n compiled by Southern Pacific
Kailroa 1 officials showing the extraor
dinary character oi ( aiiforuin fruit
shipments and the means taken to
make the shipping service safe ami
expeditious.
During the season ending October Ml,
1 in Mi, oO'tO cars of deciduous green fruit
were shipped east from California. This
season to November 1, 7o4S ears. This
has been the banner year in the green
fruit business. California has received
more money net than during any pre
vious season. Many ears of fruit
brought over $'J(MH each, while cher
ries in a number of cases ranged from
$31101) to ."U0ii per car.
Eleven Thousand Cars.
The total Northern California ship
meilts of vegetables, green deciduous
and citrus fruits during the season just
closing have been 10,012 cars, nearly a
thousand more than last year. From
Southern California the shipments via
all lines were 27,533 cars of citrus fruit
and 3477 of vegetables,
The prospect for this season is good, j
Since October 1 more than 450 cars
of deciduous fruit and 1400 cars of or
anges and lemons have been shipped
from Northern California, a far greater
number than during last year's corre
sponding period. The present outlook
for the Southern California citrus fruit
crop is 32,000 cars vegetables 4000 cars
this season, altogether spelling pros
perity in capital letters for California
fruitgrowers.
Refrigerator Cars Built.
To carry this fruit 6600 of the most
expensive refrigerator cars yet con
structed have been purchased at a cost
of $11,550,000. They were built by the
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Ore
gon Short Line and Oregon Railway &
Navigation Companies to care for the
fruit business originating on these lines.
00 per cent of which grows in Califor
nia. To insure greatest efficieny in
operation a separate company, the Pa
cific Fruit Express, was originated to
look after the distribution, use, icing,
etc., of these ears. It has it-i own rep
resentatives, but all agents nnd depart
ments of the Southern Pacific give
these cars the same consideration as if
they were directly operated. ..The cars
were built specially for fruit transpor
tation, with such dimensions n to make
it possible to load the product low, giv
ing full efficiency in ref rigeration.
Icing is done carefully, nnd the ice
shortage of Inst sen son is being met
by the construction by the Pacific Fruit
Express of two great icemaking plants,
one at Colton, one at Roseville, to sup
plement the private companies ' snppliex
and other plants will be builfif needed.
Othr cars also'. will be constructed
