WHIT WILL Be TIE Popular FUEL THIS WINTER?

AS the result of the present high
price of coal and the anticipated higher
price, one of the interesting questions
that at present confTonts the public is
as to what will be the popular fuel this
winter under the existing conditions.
While the present price of coal is
not any higher than it was last year,
the strikes have started rumors that
there is a fear of hard coal famine
which Will result in the price of coal
going up, and in anticipation of this
what will be the best substitute for
coal this winter.
1t is estimated that about 80 per cent
OF the residences in st. Paul have fur
naces. A number of the people who
have these furnaces in their residences
are considering the question of burn
ing coke in lieu of hard coal, as it is
claimed that coke will do almost the
same service as coal in a furnace, and
will also be cheaper. At present the
price of gas coke is $3.50 per ton and
1T is claimed that a ton of coke will
run as far as ton of hard coal. If
this should prove to be the case there
is no question that coke will be one
OF the popular fuels used this winter
1t is true that a ton of coke consumes
about twice the amount of space that
ton of hard coal would, but it is
claimed, however, that this fact will
not Interfere with it becoming a popu-
lar fuel if the fact is established that
1t will be cheaper to burn it than coal.

neat is made by running oil onto this
board through a sprayer, and it is
claimed that the heat will not vary
from i've to ten degrees at any time.
The company claims that it will take
three barrels of oil to produce the same
amount of heat that one ton of coal
will

stacles to be overcome before the crude

Merits Of Oil.
James Hickey, in speaking to Til e
G OBJ about the matter, said:
The question of heating in this
Northern climate is one that affects
the rich and the poor alike. At present
there is no open competition in fuels.
1t is claimed that oil will reduce the
cost to the consumer at least $3.50 per
ton for heating or power purposes. The
cost of reconstructing any of the pres
ent plants to burn oil is nominal The
property has been secured for the
cisterns, which will be entirely under
the surface of the ground
Taken as a whole, however, the cues
ton as to what will be the cheapest
fuel to use this winter in the face of a
threatened coal famine, is one that
will undoubtedly be thoroughly con-
s1dered by the consumers of this city.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-10

their residences, however, are not the
only ones that are specializing as
to what will be the cheapest fuel to
be used, and while the furnace people
are considering the question of burn
ing coke the others are figuring as to
whether or not it would not be cheaper
to use wood even though it would give
considerably more trouble.
Another thing that may help out the
people on this question also, is the
proposition of the Crude Oil Heating
q Power company to furnish heat in
the city of st. Paul, and which at pres
ent has an application for a franchise
pending in the council. 1t is contended
by the representatives of this company
that they can furnish crude oil for
heating throughout the city consider
ably cheaper than heating can be done
with coal. They claim that any
furnace can be arranged so that the
change is estimated about $40 per fur
mace. The proposition of the COM
pany is to have tanks placed at differ
ent places throughout the city and also
to have system of pipes laid on the
same plan as those of the gas company.
In cases, however, where there are
no pipes on the street and anyone hap
pens to want to use crude Oil for fuel,
1T is proposed to install a private tank
outside of the house or in the base
ment of the residence, which can be
filled as often as it is required.
The change to furnaces consists of an
asbestos board about twelve inches
wide and twenty -four inches in length,
which is placed in the fire box. The

hand and good workmanship would
carry him to the desired goal.
He has worked for thirty years for
the leading clothing manufacturers of
New York and he has received an ay
erage of $6 a week for his work.
He has been in thirty strikes and has
never gained an advance until recently
when his modest wages were advanced
to $8 per week. This advance necessi-
tates longer hours of labor and onlv
meets the increased cost of living
caused by the rise in prices for pro-
visions and meat
His wife and himself are dependent
upon these wages. His work is lust
as acceptable as it ever was and Mrs.
Finkelman uses her nimble fingers To
help him out.

fled by the executive committee of the
board of trustees, which held an import
ant meeting.
Mr.. Woods, who is to be in charge of

annexed physical laboratories. is 81 years
of age and is married. He is graduate
of Lafayette college, Pa, in the class of
1895. He also took his masters degree

1t is understood that the trustees Of the
college are seriously considering the pro-
posed consolidation of Washburn with the
Kansas Medical college, which was an
nounced In the State Journal some time
ago. Washburn would like to get into the
university class by establishing profes-
sional courses in addition to its classical
work. 1t is said that President Plass is
in sympathy with the idea, and that the
proposed consolidation of Washburn and
the Medical college is very probable. II
would increase the enrolment Of Wash
