SHORT OF LOCOMOTIVES.
John Morton Discusses the Kansss
Railroad Situation.

The delays in the shipment of grain
in Kansas are not due to a shortage OF
cars A shortage of locomotives is re-
sponsible,'' said John Norton, a grain
dealer of Topeka. at the Midland hotel
last night
In the hard times of a few years ago
shipments OF merchandise and commodi-
ties of all kinds were few continued
Mr.. Norton THE railway companies
allowed their old engines to go to ruin
and they have not since replaced them.
The result is that at present. when the
demand for shipments is heavy, there is
not a sufficient number Of locomotives
to supply the demand Last August 1
bought two carloads of wheat TO be
shipped from western Kansas to To-
peka- They arrived only last week II
there had been shortage of cars surely
this shipment would have been hurried
in order that the same cars might be
used again. But railroad men know,
believe. that that IS not the difficulty.
4 understand that the largest 1ocomo-
tive works of the country now have or
ders which will require three years to
fill That means we cannot have relief
from present conditions during that
time. There are plenty of cars for our
loads if we only had locomotives to
haul them kansas City Times.

OIL FOR EASTERN ROADS.
Boston & Maine Making Successful
Experiments With New Fuel

The Boston & Maine. which is one Of
the most progressive Of all the eastern
railroads in adopting modern improve
ments," has been making experiments
with fuel oil as the sole generator of
power on the engines of one of its dI-
visions, and they have proved enlnently
satisfactory The Boston & Maine IS
the first eastern road to use oil as fuel
The Boston Advertiser. referring to it,
says that not only is oil cheaper but in
proportion TO the amount used it de-
velopS more power than coal The
average yearly cost of fuel for loco
road business is fully 81. 500. A lOcOmo-
tive which uses oil exclusively can be
operated an entire year for only $1,000 -
Economy and increased power are not
the only advantageSsof the use OF fuel
oil for this purpose The advantages,
indeed, are so many that 1t is surprising
more experiments have not been made,
if not with the view of complete subStI-
tuition of oil for coal at least with view
of extending its use. A road which has
successfully experimental with the new
fuel will be practically unaffected by a
coal famine and independent OF the coal
barons so far as the moving of trains
goes Again, as the Advertiser suggests,
the use of fuel oil instead of coal does
away with the smoke nuisance entirely.
so that however long the run may be
there are no cinders to fly back into the
eyes of the passengers
Summing I'D the advantages there is
an increase of power for the use of fuel
oil. a saving of $500 a year on each loco
motive, which amounts to no ineonsid-
cradle aggregate in the case of roads
having hundreds Of engines, immunity
from coal faminss. and the removal of
