OIL BURNING
ON LOCAL BOATS

During the past few weeks great
deal of correspondence has passed be-
tween san Francisco shipping people
and wilders Steamship Company over
the question Of fitting oil burners into
the steamer Kinau which soee to the
coast for repairs today and II is quite
probable that the change will be made
while the vessel 10 at the Union Iron
Works.
For some time there has been talk
worth of the oil burners and II is said
that both the local companies have
been looking into the matter. The sue
cess which has attended the placing of
/ oil burners In the new steamer Neva-
dan has opened the eyea OF many local
people and there are some staunch ad-
vocatcs of oil burning on the inter-
island vessels. II the oil burners are
placed in the Kinau it will mean simply
that fuel oil viii shortly be used by
all the island steamers.
The many advantages of fuel oil are
well known. 1t a. cheaper TO handle,
I leaves no dirt about the ship, and is
much cheaper than coal as "a fuel. In
/ this connection IL is claimed that fuel
oil would mean boom for the island
farmers ls freight could be carried
cheaper. and thus farmers products
could ID, placed ON the market in Homo
lulu ON even terms with the mainland
article.
chief Engineer Mitchell of the Ne
NHj1N is loud in his praises Of fuel
uu for use in marine work. lie says 1t
is only a question ~ time until 10 viii
almost entirely take The place OF coal
I'm the driving OF steamers with the
I use 0f tuol oil tho stclming distanc" Is
Increased and the amount OF room
nrrdci for bunker space greatly re-
duuaI, thus giving room in the vessel
To- carry more cargo. Engineer Mitchell
says that the fires alr easily kept up
/ with oil ana that il gives him a chance
to keep his fire and engine room as
clean as any other portion OF the yes
sci. There are no ashes to handle, and
this in itself is an item Of great inn
portance aboard ship. The taking OF
the oil from the wharf into the steam
er's tanks is a simple matter. and great
loss Of time in handling ana loading is
avoided. The matter Of coaling at sea
especially in rough weather. seems tC
have an easy solution in fuel oil. The
liquid fuel for a steamer like the Ne
vadan weighs forty per cent. less thar
the coal she would require. Its bull
is about thirty-siX per cent. less thar
coal and it is easier slowed. Only one
quarter the number of stokers are re-
quired; steam can be got UP more
quickly; fires can be eXtinguished i'm
medately: and there IL no smoke, NJ
ashes. and no waste-in other words
fuel oil Is the ideal for use In steam
navigation.
