engine room from SO to 20 men. The
crude oil was atomized by means of an
air compressor, which had capacity or a
thousand cubic feet Of air per minute,
compressed to 80 pounds. The Mari
posa has eighteen furnaces In her boilers
only twelve Of which were used. Two
burners were installed in each furnace, al
though all the burners were not In use
except at short Intervals when the en-
gines were run at full power. .
The engineer experts at the navy de-
partmnt are most interested In the TACT
that carful inspection does not show any
effect of the flame on any part OF the
boilers. Upon reaching Tahiti, after the
rum the tubes were swept by scrapers
and all the refuse collected barely filled
two ash buckets, and some of this came
from the coal which had been used on one
of the preliminary trials
The speed secured on the return trip
was much higher than that attained on
the trip to Tahiti, due to the fact that
the fremen became better accustomed O
manipulating the burners The COM
pany had taken the precautiOn to arrange
the burners so that steam could be used
as the atomizing agent in case the com
pressor became impaired. On one or two
instances during the voyage the compress
sor did need overhauling, and the oil was
sprayed by steam while these repairs were
being made.
Included with the advantage Of oil over
coal as fuel for locomotives is the absence
of sparks. Fires caused by the latter
along the lines of railroads are factors in
bills and suits for damages have no mean
aggregate in the course of year.

The Mariposa as an oil burner Is the
first Of her class. Other steamers of this
line will be changed from coal to oil burn
ers as rapidly possible. the Australia
being the next to be changed. Not only
this, but other lines will~follow the lead
of the Oceanic and will soon be burning

The success which has attended the use
for oil over coal, and is but the beginning
of the general use of oil for fuel on all
Pacific steamships.
This means large increase in the con-

First Oceanic Steamer to Burn Crude OIL
for Fuel.

The Mariposa is the first steamer Of
the Oceanic line to use crude oil for fuel
Her trial trip last Saturday was perfectly
satisfactory to the steamship company,
to the Risdon Iron Works, which fitted
her out with the new oil-burning appli-
ances, and to the hundreds of invited
guests, who for the first time, were priv
horse power, burning oil instead of coal.
There was no smell of oil, there was no
smoke, no stokers and coal passers per-
spired before hot furnaces or in dusty
bunkers. The burners worked to perfec-
ton, keeping up the steam to the required

OiIlng Of Roads.

At present at least 800 miles of county
roads and city streets in California have
been put in good condition by the use of
oil, and hundreds Of miles of railway
track have been kept free from dust by
the same methods. This use of oil means
the consumption of thousands Of barrels
monthly and the amount of this consump-
ton is rapidly increasing. -

H. W. McCrary, when asked about the
railroads, made the following comment
'"There is fear Of the failure
Of financial assistance: The fact is
that the greatest freight producing
section on the coast is found in
the Kern county oil fields, min
eral deposits and the 100000 acres of
level and productive land tributary to the
road, together with the fact that when
the Typographical features are consid-
cred. prove the route Of the Midland-Pa-

enough to indicate that the road will be

Mrs. Lena Telenga, Of Tea, S.

Octob Der 24th has been set as
the last day for receiving the con-
trihutions for this states quote of
the Mckinley monument fund.
About $500 has been RENTED up
to the present time. The states
share Of the total amount is $1,000
It would seems that q state like
North Dakota could easily raise
the amount fixed.
The engine for the mill arrived
the first Of the week and is being
placed in position and the mill
will soon be ready to begin work.
A new dust collector has also been
added to the many improvements.
When all the improvements are
completed Washburn will have
one of the best Touring mills in
the state.
The new brick building Of the
First National Bank will soon be
ready for occupancy. One Of the
features will be the large vault
of the new building. The vault
proper is built entirely separate
from the walls of'the building and
is of brick. A new wrought iron
fire and burglar safe will be in
stalled, the inner door having four
bolts and a combination lock. The
outer door has IL bolts and a COM
bination lock with four. tumblers.
This win easily prove one Of the
safest and most complete vaults in
this part of the state.

LOST BOY.

Herbert Arthur Young, only son
of Constable Joseph Young, Of
Boissevain, Manitoba. The lad
is Ia years old, tall for his age, has.
fair complexion and blue eyes.
His right arm having been broken
is slightly crooked and smaller
than his left. He ran away to the
states the latter part Of July. His
mother is very i'll and nearly crazed
with grief. No reason is known
for his departure. He was fond
of horses and cattle. Constables
in Canada and Marshals in the
United States would confer a favor
by interesting themselves in the
matter. Any information may be
sent to A. S. Barton, Editor Of the

UNGRACEFUL MAN.

Did you ever watch a man taking a
drink of water in a public place, in a
railroad station, or on a train, where
he is aware that many eyes regard
him? Watch this some tine" a drum
mer said You'll find it interesting.
The man, you see. holds the glass in his
right hand while he drinks, and it is
his inability meanwhile to make his
unOccupied left hand look graceful that
makes the spectacle worth while. One
fellow, as he stOOps over the cup in an
elegant attitude, an attitude like that
of bowling solves the enigma of what
to do with his left hand by putting it
in his trouser pocket Another holes it
behind his back. A third puts the
thumb of it in the pocket of his waist
coat, and a fourth swings the hand
ike a pendulum to and fro at his side.
But all men, do what they will with
their left hand, look awkward and self
conscious when drinking in public, and
it is amusing to watch them"
