the Southern Pacific. Before long an
the engines on the system will be COM
verted into oil burners, and coal, with
it's cinders and smoke, and it's scarcity
in time of labor troubles in the mines
will no longer be used on the lines Of
the Southern Pacific. The new engines
ordered for the road will be oil burners,
and the work of converting those now
is use into oil burners has been In
progress for some time. During the
past year nearly 300 locomotives which
had burned coal were changed in the
companys shops AT Reno and Bakers
field into modern oil-burning engines
and equipped with the necessary tanks
for the liquid fuel This makes a total
of over 600 locomotives that burn oil
on the Southern Pacific lines. The
change has involved the erection OF
great storage tanks at various points
in Nevada and California on the over
land route and at others on the Shasta
route Oil fuel is now used exclusively
ON the cost line and the overland route,
and Harrman's recently acquired oil
lands in southern California are a large
source of supply.

but will merely use the forces in that
section to harrass the Japanese ad-

cavalry at the Yalu will be the first
line Of defense in the actual fighting
in that section The Russian rein
forcements now being sent to the front
are for the major part destined for

also stated that the ground the entire
length around the outside of the wall
should be excavated to a depth of four
feet and retamped. The cost Of repair
ing the reservoir is estimated at $2,50O.
The matter was placed entirely in the
hands OF the water committee and the
water superintendent who were in
structed to act.
Clerk Nickerson addressed the coun-
Gil in reference to an article signed
Taxpayer" which was inserted by re-
quest in The Teller recently alleging
that the contract or specifications on.
the retaining wall built by Contractor
Stone had been changed to the benefit
Of the contractor. Mr.. Nickerson
stated that in justice to himself and
the Mayor that he felt called upon to
bring the matter before the council
and show where this alleged discrep-
ancy in the specifications occurred.
The matter was explained to the entire
satisfaction of the council and those
present. Councilman West stated that
as a representative of the Teller was
present that he might divulge the name
Of the Taxpayer" 1t was evident that
the council did not wish the name and
the representative did not have the
opportunity to present it. West in
troduced a motion which was carried
instructing the Teller representative to
notify Taxpayer" that If he wished
authentic information concerning the
specifications or any other public mat
ters that he call on the city clerk and
he will be permitted to examine such
records as he might wish.
: Mayor Kress, his voice showing his
emotion, then arose and feelingly ex.
pressed his everlasting gratitude to
the members of the council for theiI
