1t seems to be the intention of the
Santa Fe to extend the use Of oil To-
connective fuel into Albuquerque. When Y
this comes TO pass and the scheme y
is proved practicable and economical ?
1t will probably mean the use of fuel y
oil over the entire Santa Fe system. u
II begins to look as if King Coal a
were to abdicate his sooty throne in a
favor of Pete Roleum. #
Three new boilers, for the Wander :
bilt engines which run out of San
Bernardino, have arrived in Albuquer-
que and the machines will be refitted
as soon as they can be hustled into =
the back shop. The new boilers are =
larger than the old ones, allowing for :
a firebox, and are altogether more
convenient for oil burning than are v
the ones now in use. p

John Ryan, an employee OF the San \,
Ia Fe company for many years. and II,
q section foreman for some time, died a.
last Sunday night at San MarciaI. =,
His affection was cancer Of the stom- -
ach and a hardening OF the spine. He Is
was an Irishman Of the old pattern
and an honest man. A wife and two
children survive him. His remains
were taken to Kansas City for inter ne
ment.
Owing to slackness OF work on the G:
New Mexico division, the number Of
names on the ~enginemen's board at
the local round-house will soon be con- ~
siderably smaller. II will be the new
men who will suffer. and they won't
suffer very hard. Several machlnists'
and boilermakers' helpers who were
put on as firemen some months ago
will go back to the shops. while other L..
temporarily advanced engineers will
be denoted to fremen for the time.
