Makes the Experime Mt.

The Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany's experiment was made with a
view of ascertaining the probable effect
of oil upon the coal market. The un-
of Pacific Coast company officials, who
are eager to protect their own coal in
terests. The steamship company equip
ped the Coos Bay with oil burners and
tanks. The boat is still using the fuel,
but will go back in coal soon.
A careful investigation satisfied the
company that a vessel plying close to
the oil fields might secure oil for fuel
cheaper than coal could be shipped
the experiment that it would not be of
any advantage to use oil, on the yes
sells of the fleet running to the Sound.
The cost of bringing oil here, even
though shipped on the cOmpany's own
steamers, would be too high in the Ions
run. Coal can be used cheaper and with
better satisfaction.
Standard Oil Interests.
Strong pressure was some time ago
brought to bear by Standard Oil in
fluences upon the Pacific Coast COM
pany and even Great Northern officials
too have used oil on the boats of the
fleet in the place Of coal. Inducements
We're offered which would be sufficient
under ordinary conditions, to effect "a
change in policy.
The Standard Oil people are declared
to nave gone to as high an authority
as j. j. Hill himself, after failing to
secure permanent contracts through
minor officials. The nearest approach
to success was the inducing of COM
pany officials to equip one boat with oil
burners as an experiment.
Despite the fact that the Pacific
Coast company is the heaviest produ-
Ger of coal in this county, the Pacific
Coast Steamship company is not burn
ing coal as matter of sentiment or
from philanthrophic motives. The COM
pany might easily use another fuel if
it were profitable to do SO.
