CURRENT COMMENT,

Discussing the suggestion of National
Committeeman Campau of Michigan, that
the Democrats nominate Buffalo Bill as
an offset TO Roosevelt. the Chicago Chron-
icle (Dem } says: There can be no COM
parison between the sanguinary records of
the two heroes. Buffalo Bill has actual
ly killed Injuns'-iots of them He was
in the business long ago, and while Mr.
Roosevelt may have slain two or three
grizzly bears, Col. Cody has hecatombs 90
his credit. In the matter of riding buck
ing bronchoes or in throwing. tying and
branding steers the odds in Col Cody's
favor would be 10 to perhaps Is to l.
In every way he would have the advan-
tage. The Kansas City Convention will
not nominate Buffalo Bill however. The
Democracy does not need to conduct the
campaign upon Wild West basis. nor
would Il be advisable to do So a good
Democrat, who perhaps never shot a sill
yer tip or wrote q magazine article in
his life. will be put up to oppose Col
Roosevelt and will beat that gentleman

It was also said that Mr. Bryan had
been apprised of the situation and that
several men had received word from
him to keep Towne in the field and to
run a double-tailed ticket in order TO
hold the Populist and Silver RepubI-
cans in the western states. The tact
that a number of sena torshipS depended
upon the success of the fusion of all
forces was given as a reason why the
PopuIist ticket should be kept in the
field. 1t was claimed by the Populists
that two senators in Nebraska, one in
South Dakota, one in Kansas, one IN
Colorado, and, possibly in Wyoming,
depended upon perfect fusion OF the
three forces The Populists made q
plea for delay, saying that thirty days

All Engines in California to be
Made Oil Burners.
USE 100000 BARRELS.
This Amount at Least VIII be
Consumed Each Year.
$4,000 VIII be Spent in
Equipping Locomotives.

Los Angeles, July THE Santa Fe
Railway company, which was the pio-
neer consumer of California oil as fuel
in large quantities, thus making 1t pos
sible for the oil industry to reach its
present local Importance, has decided to
further increase and practically double
it's consumption.
Arrangementsfo for the proposed change
are now being rushed to completion, and
by October every engine on the system
between Needles on the east and on the

move will, it is estimated, almost dOu-
bic the company's oil fuel now being
used. The present amount is in round
figures about 30 600 barrels a month
When the engines between Barstow
and Needles are burning oil the amount
used is expected not to fall short of Co.
GOO barrels a month.
The company began burning oil
about six years ago The coal fuel was
first discarded on a few engines on some
OF the Southern California lines The
experiment proved a success from the
start, and as fast as it could be done
the company enlarged it's capacity. The

system, the operators who had uncover
ed and had corralled the oil deposits in
that vicinity found that they had an
easy market at their door. The Santa
Fe has since January l been burning
oil on all of its engines between Bakers
field and Point Richmond, in addition
to using oil between Los Angeles so far
east as BarStow.
It will cost the Santa F-e $4,000 or
more to equip its engines between Bar
stow and Needles for oil burning pur-
poses, and the company has just con-
tracted for the erection of three steel
storage tanks for the storage of its
supplies of oil. One of these tanks, each
