OIL FOR LOCOMOTIVES.

It is reported that the Santa Fe has
concluded it's test of Kansas oil for use
in locomotives and has sent its oil
burning engine back to Texas. The
announcement is also made that the
Santa Fe will not use oil as fuel on it's
Kansas lines.
The reason assigned for this action
is not that the test was not a success,
but that no oil producer would con-
tract to furnish oil at present prices
on a long contract The road is will
ing to use oil, but it insists on having
it at a low price.
OF course il oil is to compete with
coal as a fuel it must be shown that
oil is fully as cheap and gives better
service than coal. Otherwise it cannot
be expected that the railroads will use
oil.
Just at what price oil is cheaper
than coal none but the railroads can
tell-that is, for fuel in locomotives
1t is said that for stationary engines
oil is considerably cheaper than coal,
but it is likely that a great railroad
like the Santa Fe, which is interested
in mines itself, gets it's coal much
cheaper than the owners of most sta
| tionary engines.
The statement of General Manager
Hurley indicates that oil at the prices
which prevail at present would be sat
isfactory to the railroad company. but
it will not undertake the use of oil,
which would necessitate installing oil
burners, in the locomotives. unless it
can secure a longtime contract insur-
ing cheap oil. If the oil producers
believe that they will be able to secure
a higher price for their product they
are justified, of course, in refusing to
sell it at a low price. but if satfsfac-
tory terms could be agreed upon it
would open tremendous market for
Kansas crude oil.

JUSTICE CuNN1NGHANf.

The death of f. w. Cunningham,
justice of the Kansas supreme court, at
Boulder Col. Wednesday afternoon.
comes as a shock to the people of Kan
sas. It had not been known for several
months that Judge Cunningham was in
even serious condition. 1t was known
that he suffered from a severe illness at
his home in Emporfa last spring, and
for g time he was in a critical condi-
ton, but he so far recovered as to be
able to go to Colorado. and since then
he has been reported recovering. The
news of his death therefore comes to-
tally unexpected, and it will bring sor-
row wherever Judge Cunningham was
personally known. and especially at
Emporia where he has lived for thirty
six years.
Judge Cunningham was by no means
a brilliant man. Instead he was one of
the steady plodders who accomplish
much more in the long run than the
brilliant man who works only by i'm
pulse. For many years he was one of
the leading attorneys of the Fourth
congressional district. He settled at
Emporia in 1869, and there he made his
reputation, practicing law up to the
time of his appointment to the supreme
bench in 1901 by Governor Stanley.
AS a jurist Judge Cunningham never
distinguished himself by any eccentrici-
ties or briiliance of opinion. He was
rather one Of those who carefully
weighed every point, and arrived at a
conclusion only after a consideration of
all the issues His sterling character
commanded the respect of his associates
and of those with whom he came in
contact
The dead iurist was a devout Chris
tan and lifelong member of the
Methodist church. For nearly a third
of a century he was the superintendent
of the Sunday school of the First NJ. E.
church in Emporia, retiring only year
or two ago. For four years after his
elevation to the supreme bench he went
home from Topeka every Sunday to
superintend his Sunday school. His
death will be distinct loss not only
to Enporia. which has so long been
his home, but to the state at large.

THE sALToN SEA.

Kansas may have its floods, but
there is no danger of the rivers or the
sea running all over it as is the case
with a portion of Southern California
today. Out in the Colorado Desert.
above the head of the Gulf of California,
is a considerable area that is below the
level of the sea. 1t is supposed that the
gulf at one time covered it, but an up
heaval of nature cut it off from the
main body of the sea and the water
dried up. At one point on the Southern
Pacific railroad, near Salton, the salt
is SO deep and so pure in this old ocean
bed that it was plowed up just like soil.
canal has been run in from the Colo
RADIO river and some of this territory
has been irrigated and has been won
derful1y productive during the last two
or three years, although naturally a
desert
But when the heavy rains came on
the desert last winter water began to
gather in the low locality. No serious
consequences were looked for at the
time. as it was supposed that the wa
ter would dry up as soon as the rains
ceased with the coming of the summer
months. But it has not done so. In
stead the water has continued to rise.
Engineers have been at work on the
problem of stopping it, and just as they
thought they were successful the Colo
RADIO river broke into this Salton Sea.
Recent dispatches announce that the
entire flow of the river is running into
1t, and the water is rising at the rate of
an inch day.
The ways of the desert are full of
mystery. AS a rule it is extremely dry
but during certain seasons there are
cloudbursts that bring great destruc-
ton The washouts on the railroads
! caused by the desert floods cost great
sums of money every year. The present
rise of the Salton Sea, for instance, will
compel the Southern to build thirty
four miles of new track to get around it.

Evidence has been collected recently
which shows that the bluethroat flies
from Central Africa to the shores of

miles, in less than a day and a night,
and makes it, moreover, in one unin-
terrupted flight. The storks which
spend their summers in Austria Hun
gary and their winters in India and
Central Africa are also marvellous
travellers, and make their journeys
twice a year in unbroken fight each
time. From Budapest, in Hungary, to
Lahore, in India, is 2,400 miles in an
air line, and the storks make the jour
ney in "a hours, thus travelling at the
rate of 100 miles an hour for the whole
distance. The storks which spend the
summer in central Europe and winter
in central Africa travel with the same
apidity.-Pall Mall Gazette.
