LIQUID FUEL.
Recent Discovery an Argument For De-
creasing Use of Coal.

! Recent Discovery an Argument For Dc.
creasing Use of Coal.
The recent discovery of new OF! fields
| so extensive that there is good reason
to believe that the oil wells will not
| soon be exhausted and that there is al
| assured supply to meet the demands OF
the future; the construction Of pipe
lines which very materially reduce the
cost cf transportation, and the high
price Of ccal which has prevailed IN
many manufacturing districts. have
combined to give new argument FOR
tic burning CT crude Gil for power puf-
poses.
| But in the Western and Southwest
ern States. where steam coal has al
WAYS been both scarce and poor In Gu@l.
itv. aud where the question of trans
portat;on from the new fields in Texas
and California has been.less of an OBJ
stacle to the installation of oil burning
cuuipmcn,s than has been the case. on
the Atlantic coast, the interest is even
greater and the use of oil has become
| far more extensive. In California OIL
is rapidly driving coal out Of the field
for power purposes throughout the
State. The same is true in Texas, ana
Of much of the territory lying In be-
tween. This general use of oil has af'
fected not only the power and lighting
and manufacturing plants in these re-
cions, but also the railroads and ma
rine transportation as we'll. With the
relative economy at present prices, be-
tween the oil and coal varying from
one-eighth to one-haif OF perhaps less
according to the cost of transportation
from the wells to the different points
where .ne oil is consumed, this unusual
development is not surprising. and the
use of liquid fuel for power purposes is
still rapidly growing.
One railroad operating in California
is now burning Gil on more than $50 OF
| its locomotives. Another Of the great
transcontinental systems Is already
using oil on about 500 Of its locomo'
tives-which is thirty per cent. of the
total number operated by the system
and is equipping others as rapidly as
possible. In addition to the use on 10.
comotives it is using oil on its steamers
in San Francisco Bay, and on its river
steamers with very good results.-A. L.

fast as I stole it, though my wife may
have saved i couple Of simoleons." .
"You arc crazy, or else fool,' salo
the lawyer. "Or may be a lunatic:
Perhaps all three. You certainly are
not sane. But you have no money to
hire experts, so you had better plead
guilty and beg for mercy. You Will
cot off with 4 sentence of perhaps
eighteen years in prison. Next time
have sense enough to save what you
steal"
The next Cay another thief visited
the lawyer. II have grabbed off $780,

"Where is it," asked the attorney.

"You arc a genius" said the lawyer

bad roads or in crossing streams. He
was a mark of the consequence of TIC

pleaded guilty, but said she.was trem-

simply by using and recommending re-

CRIPPLE CREEK PARALYZED

Cripple Creek, Col, Dec. THE dec
laration of martial law has paralyzed
business in this city. Heavily-armed
p'ckets of the national guard are sta
toned on all street corners, and many
residents of the city do not venture
upon the streets.
Provost Marshal Thomas E. McClel-
and is occupying the mayors office.
He has caused the arrest of several
persons, but no important arrests have
yet been made.
Following the suppression of an edi-
orial in the Victor Record, Provost
Marshal McClelland threatened to cut
off Cripple Creek from the outside
world by locking up the correspondents
If the Denver papers and to censor all
matter to be sent to the Denver papers.
Maj. Naylor, commanding officer in
the absence of Col. Verdeckberg, stated
that a news censor from Denver will
arrive in the district and be in charge
of all news to be published in the
future The name of the censor he has
not divulged.
In consequence of Gov. Peabody's or
der placing Teller county under mar
tial law, a committee of women's aux
iliary of the labor unions in this city,
700 members, has sent a
