FUEL OIL LOCOMOTIVES

California gave promise, before the
discovery OF the Texas fields. of becom-
ing the great petroleum producing state
in the union. Already that state is dot
ted with oil-well ri@S and storage tanks
and the devc>5pment Is being carried out
on a very extensive scale. The discovery
of western petroleum is especially val
liable. inasmuch as scarcity OF coal and
the high rates prevailing for IL render
the discovery OF a cheaper fuel particu-
larry desirable. Realizing the advantages
of the use OF fuel oil the Santa Fe and
the Southern Pacihc railroads have
lately been experimenting with it's use on
locomotives. So successful have these
trials been that 200 locomo lives on these
two roads have already been equipped
for burning fuel oil The Santa Pc road
owns fields OF it's own. Just as some OF
the Eastern railroads own their own
coal mines. but even these are not suf-
ficient for its extensive needs. and II Is
authoritatively reported that they have
contracted for five years supply of 750,-
O00 barrels annually.
The handling of crude oil fuel is much
more convenient and expeditions than

estimated that seven tons OF oil are
equivalent 20 ten tons OF coal. Rapldity
of fucling, less manual labor, absence
of cindcrs at terminals, together with ar
absence of spars free from smoke. and
ease of control and firing all combine TO
render oil an IDEAL fuel.

BROWN LEADS HOCKEY LEAGUE

Browns chances for the championship

Norld Of sports.

The past week has seen an advance In
squad. This has been made chiefly In
the lines OF batting and the work OF the
pitchers. 1t is supposed now that the
candidates have sufficiently mastered the
points OF accuracy and of form In meet
ing the ball. and then arc coached to hit
the sphere hard.
Another lot OF the least promising ma
teriai has been dropped from the squad
and the number is now down where IL Is
fairly easy for the coaches 20 handle the
men.
The regulars OF last years team began
work last Friday. and their presence In
the cage is a great help and an encour-
agement 10 the new candidates.
Coach Nichols spends each morning ana
a part of the afternoon with the pitchers.
Even now, the results of his work are
easily apparent. lie has been coaching

style that he himself thinks TO be the
most effective. The great twirler goes
