CoATs AID WooD ON THE UNION PACIF-
&c RAILRoAD.-Thc Union Pacific Rail-
way Co., L. D., are substituting coal for
wood on all their engines running on
the first division of their road extend
ing from the State line to Junction.
The coal in use is that brought from
Knob Noster, Mo. 1t can be delivered
at the State line for four dollars ton.
The coal from the Stranger was tried,
but would not answer the purpose.
West of Junction, wood, although
costing seven and seven and a half dol
lars a cord, is cheaper than coal. The
supply of wood at these figures. altho'
the country seems almost destitute of
fuel as one rides through it, is abund-
ant for all present needs-nearly years
