quantities OF petroleum to be used for
experimental purposes. On the South

In use and has been found satisfactory.

thority for the statement that oil Will
soon be the fuel used by the railroads
OF the West.
The officials of the Denver e. Rio

are now Investigating the claims made
for oil MS fuel OH engines and the result
may he that the engines on these roads
VIII be rcmodeled so that oil can be
used.
1t IL said that the saving would be
fully 30 per cent. The fact that such
large contracts have been closed by
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe has
attracted attention OF traffic men NIL

Southern Pncific amounted to 10000
