Oil For Fuel Now

Next summer, many lake yes
sells will use oilas fuel in produc-
ing motive power. Oil is gaining
rapidly in popularity. The pas
senger Whaleback Christopher
Columbus is to propelled by this
liquid fuel in future. The chief
engineer has been sent to New
Orleans toinvestigate the matter.
All custom officers have received
a decision of the treasury depart
ment to the effect that owing to
the growing use of oil on vessels
and recent explosion of an oil
carrying boat in California, extra
precautiOn must be taken.
Hereafter no vessel may use
oil as a motive power without first
having been approved by the sup
cruising Inspector and two ex-
perts.
By the explosion of the "Pro-
gresse, while lying at the wharf
at San Francisco, fourteen were
killed outright, and number of
others injured.
The boat was being transform
ed from a coal carrying coal
burning vessel into an oil carry
ing, oil burning boat, and the de-
cislonof the inspectors as to the
cause of the explosion was that
poor oil being loaded had come in
contact with fire in some un-
known manner.
Oil is gaining popularity owing
to the fact that though no
cheaper than coal, it dispepses
with much dirt and reduces the
mum Der of fireman to one.
1t is likely that no change will
be made by any of the local boats.
The larger carriers, many of
them, will likely make arrange
ments this winter, to use oil, but
the change can only be made at
considerable expense, requiring
complete change in the heating
apparatus. Ifsoftcoal continues
to go up, there yet remains slab
wood.
