OIL BURNERS IN KANSAS.
Frisco Railroad Finds Experiment
With Kansas Oil Successful.

Neodesha, Kan, June 29.=The
Frisco is actually buring fuel oil in
one of its engines instead of coal. The
engine is the Neodesha switch engine
Engineer J. H. Brown and Fireman
John Depew), which was turned out
from the Springfield shops. The first
oil used in it was at Springfield, but
the Standard refinery here now has
orders to supply oil for the engine
regularly hereafter.
The equipment is like all the en-
gines on the Pacific coast The Frisco
has been keeping track of the amount
of coal used on the switch engine here
for the past year for the purpose of
making this experiment, but it is said
now the advantage of oil over coal is
so apparent that without waiting for
further experiment the Fricso will be-
gin at once to gradually put oil burn
ers in all its engines. One employee
says they are equipping thirty-six now
in the Springfield shops.
At any rate, Neodesha has the honor
of having the first oil burning engine
on the Frisco system, in use here as a
switch engine, and Brown and Depew
have the honor of using her.

A MILLION TO YALE.
John D. Rockefeller Contributes to
Cause of Education.

New Haven, June 29.-President
Hadley, of Yale, announced at the
alumni dinner that gift of S1,0OO,0OO
had been recently made by John D.
Rockefeller. President Hadley also
said that 100000 in all have been
given to the university within a COM
paratively recent time, the other mil
lion being subscribed by graduates in
sums varying from $4,000 to $780,
600. The names of the latter donors
were not made public.
President Hadley said: THE only
condition of any kind underlying Mr.
Rockefeller's gift is that the money is
to be invested in income producing Sc
curities and preserved inviOlate as en-
dowment for the institution, the an
nual income to be used for current
expenses"
He added that these two millions al
ready subscribed were to be considered
merely the beginning of an endowment
fund which must at least be doubled
in the next year if Yale is to maintain
her position in the educational world.
The announcement of the gifts was
received with loud applause.
The gift is the largest single dona-
ton ever made to the university.
President Hadley presided as toast
master of the dinner, and the speakers
were Henry ". Taft, OF New York city

MAKE A FUEL TEST.
Wichita Institution Finds Oil 81 Per
Day Cleaner Than Coal.

Wichita Institution Finds Oil 81 Per
Day Cheaper Than Coal.
Wichita, kan, June 29.@The
Beacon says: The test of fuel oil that
is being made at the Howard mills,
is now about completed and it is said
concerned. Mr.. Ira Elliott, who has
charge of the test, and who has watch
ed it closely, says he has demonstrated
that oil is not only better in every way
than coal but that it is cheaper and
this statement is confirmed by c. r.
Howard, secretary of the company,
who says that at present prices for
coal the oil is decidedly cheaper.
Mr.. Elliott has thought for some
time that the burning of fuel oil
would solve a very perplexing prob
lem in Wichita, and to judge by the
we'll grounded. He said when asked
about the test, that it was resulting as
he expected.
THE figures show for themselves,
said he. This car of oil, which con-
tanned 6,056 gallons, cost $3.50 here at
the mill. We have been burning oil
since 4 o'clock on June 8, making just
Is days at 4 o'clock today. According
to Mr.. HoWard's figures in that time
we would have burned $3.50 worth
of coal, which in this case is the very
cheapest kind of slack. This is within
and yet we have enough oil left to
burn more than two days. This is a
saving of at least $13 over the coal
during the period of this test. In
making this comparison I have not
taken into consideration the additional
coast of kindling wood that must be
used with coal and I am convinced
that with everything taken into con-
sideration the oil would show a saving
of nearly 81 q day over coal.

DIRECToRs PLEASED.
Rock Island Prospects Goodnight
Men at Head OF the Company.

Men at Head of the Company.
Earnings of the combined Rock
Island-Frfsco system for May and
June are expected to show over $780,
600 gained in gross, with operating ex-
penSeS still very heavy. The net will,
however, show fair increase.
The St. Louis & San Francisco is
the most persistent revenue producer
in the system. The addition of nearly
a thousand miles to the railroad oper-
published, but the system as a whole
is doing relatively better than last
year. The new divisions are earning
their charges, which is about all that
can be expected from new lines in new
country during the first year.
The disappointing feature is the
heavy expenditure for operating the
road It is a fact that a great deal of
this comes in maintenance, but it is
also a fact that much is lost in con-
Quoting transportation. The road has
hardly as yet found itself"
On this point one of the directors
says: After many shifts we believe
we have the men to run our railroa d.
We have had the railroad right along,
the territory and the position. This
last year we have added to the equip
ment over 100 locomotives and thous-
ands of cars.
I'm 1906 I believe we shall get the
results from this com bination. The
cereal crops promise well. A wet
June never yet injured the corn crop.
The wheat experts look for at least a
normal crop. The grass crop will
break all records. Even taking the
cotton crop at 100000 bales, there
will be over 100000 bales to be
moved, for there are over 5000, 600
bales held back this year"
On this basis signs point to very
heavy earnings at the beginning of
1906. 1t would not be at all surpris-
ing if the gain in gross for July and
