RADIO River.

Washington.-Pres Roosevelt
is exertng his efforts to have the
break in the Colorado river in Mexico
repaired as soon as possible by the

sible for It. With this end in view he
has telegraphed to Il. II. Hartman at
New York, reciting the inability to Sc
cure action by congress because Of
the adjournment for the Christmas
holidays. The president told Mr.. Har-
riman that it is incumbent upon him to
close the break, and that action
should be taken without an hours de-
lay.
Mr. Hartman replied that the
Southern Pacific has no control over
the California Development company,
but he would authorize the Southern
Pacific officers to try to repair the
brea 4, trusting congress to take action
later to assist with the burden. The
president promised to make recon.
mendations to this end

0. R. 3 \. viii Not Burn Oil
East Of UmadI|a
OTHER FUEL CONSIDERED CHEAPER
HEAVY GRADES IN THIS SECTION
MAKE COAL LESS ExPENS-
I'VE THAN OIL.

For the present oil will not be burn
ed on the engines of the o. r. & NJ
beyond Umatilla The last tank Is to
be located there, and coal will be used
as fuel on the east end of the line as
far as Huntington.
1t is explained by officials of the road
that in view of the fact that many
cars are hauled from the east empty,
and are routed through the Wyoming
coal fields, it is best that they be load
ed with fuel there and make some
revenue on the last leg of the journey
to the coast. AS there are heavy
grades in the Blue Mountains, and it
is necessary to haul oil over them from
Portland or coal from the east, the
latter course is preferred, says the
Portland Telegram.
That oil is the more expensive fuel,
considering everything, is said to be a
tanks, and the maintenance of the
principal storage depots in addition to
the supply stations on the line, with
the cost of transportation, adds heav-
lily to expenditures, not including the
cost of oil landed here. The Southern
Pacific will be entirely equipped with
oil-burners, so the trip can be made
from Portland to the southermost ter
minus without a trace of cinders.
The o. r. & N. officials deplOre the
shortage of coal in eastern Oregon
towns during the winter, put by next
season there will be so little coal used
on the line that all wants can be sup
piled. To keep the locomotives in coal
during the winter, when oil is not used.
requires from $4,000 to 100000 tons, so
it proved about all the operating de-
partment could do to haul sufficient for
immediate needs.
