OIL FOR FUEL.

The coming year will doubtless see
great strides in Kansas in the use of
crude oil for fuel, both for steam pow
er and for heating purposes. Expert
ments along those lines are being
made all over the state.
From the wheat belt comes the in
formation that the men who own
threshing machines are investigating
the matter of using oil for fuel for
their engines. This alone would make
a considerable market for crude oil.
Coal costs from five to seven or eight
dollars a ton in the wheat region.
Three barrels of oil will make more
steam than a. ton of coal and can be
laid down in the wheat belt for about
q. dollar a barrel and give the oil pro-
ducers a good price for it. Besides
being much cheaper, the use of oil re-
quires less labor than any other fuel,
and if a satisfactory burner attach
ment can be devised it will doubtless
speedily come into general use on the
thresher engines.
A few days ago a test was made in
the use of crude oil for making steam
in a mill at Stafford. The oil costs 2 q
cents a gallon laid down there, and
even with a crude device it proved not
only cheaper than coal, but there was
a great deal less labor in feeding the
fires and the oil made the steadier
heat.
It is announced that the Santa Fe is
shortly to try its oil-burning engines
in Kansas, using Kansas crude oil, and
If this proves a success-and no reason
is apparent why it should not bet
will create a tremendous demand for
oil.
The gasoline car recently invented
by the Union Pacific seems likely to
come into general use on other west
ern roads. Already there are rumors
of its use on several branch lines in
Kansas. It is certain that the Union
Pacific will use it and five years hence
will probably see hundreds, if not
thousands, of such cars running daily.
They will create a tremendous demand
for the refined product of the Kansas
oil fields in the shape of gasoline, so
that there will be plenty for the re-
fineries to do.
In face, the question of an oil mar
ket seems to be settling itself, even
without a pipe line to the gulf.

A LESSON ZOE MFRCHANTs.

A merchant who had two stores in
small towns tried an experiment. He
put bargain counter in each store,
containing the same articles at the
same place. In the newspaper of one
village he advertised his special sale
counters. In the paper Of the other he
did not. In one month in the village
where he did not advertise he sold 1884
worth Of goods. In the store where he
did advertise he sold the same month
goods Amounting to s1,724. In comment
ing on the result, the merchant says:
People who get the paper with the ad-
vertisement would pass by one Of the
stores and drive miles to the other one,
for what they could have gotten at the
same price in my store at their doors.
but they did not know it was there. -
