OIL AS A FUEL.

The Rocky Mountain Region Can Defy
 the Coal Barons
 The bansful controversy between the coal mine owners and the miners in 1902 showed the poverty of eastern re- sources in the east in the matter of fuel.
 The possibility of a repetition of that conflict has caused much uneasiness in manufacturing circles and there is casting about for some substitute for coal.
 Many refmor users of coal, profiting by their experience of 1902, have sub- stituted crude oil, theregy placing themselves beyond the power of the coal barons and giving them fuel which has proven cheapel cleaner and better in every way.
 The Rocky Mountain region never had enough coal to supply it's needs and wood was formerly the main fuel. The discovery of oil in California and the development of its immense oil fields has solved the fuel problem in that section.
 The East Is slowly but surely follow ing by the example of the Western users of fuel oil, and it will only be a question of short time when coal can not be profitably mined because of the limited market and the economy, clean Illness and other advantages of oil as a fuel.
 Seventy-f1ve per cent. of the fuel used on the Pacific coast is California oiL A large percentage of the remainder Is wood while a very small per cent. of the total is coal, used because of prox- unity to coal deposits or for special reasons,
 The advantages of oil as fuel has im- pressed the Orient and the Asiatic and Pacific trade in California oil has reached enormous proportions.
 There is strong evidence that the East Is impressed with the merits of oil as fuel, for pipe line is to he con- structed across the Isthmus of Panama for the purpose of lessening the cost of transportation of California oil to the Atlantic states.
 The profits to California sproducer are, of curse, huge and steadily growing, but there is vast margin to be overcome before the cost of oil amounts to as much as the cost of coal fuel, and even then should such a con- dition be brought about, the cleanli- ness, ease of handling and control and tsi many other advantages will keep it in favor.
 The field in oil fuel line is dominated by California oil, there being a greater demand for than supply of the illumi- mating product of the Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania fields.
 The Texas field is not great factor because the output there is not as great as was expected and the quality is in- ferior to that of the California product. KEEFE.

MAY BE TOTAL LOSS.

Schooner c. c. Lane, Wt1ich Was
 Wrecked off Boston Lodge Light.
 E. Harris Weaver, the ship chandler, left for Boston yesterday morning to take charge of the wrecked schooner c. c. Lane, of the Benedict fleet, which met disaster near Boston ledge light in Monday nights storm. There will be little property for MT. Weaver to claim. The cargo consisted of moulding sand, and that will be total loss. Some of the schooner's inventory and rigging may be saved and turned over to the owners in this city.
 Reports received in this city yester- day were to the effect that the Lane is going to pieces.
 Captain Magnus Manson, one of the owners of the Lane, said that she had been a lucky craft. She was never in serious trouble before, and has paid for herself many times over. Captain Manson said the Lane certainly owed no man when she entered the nautical grave yard off Boston light. She cost about S34 900 when completed thirty three year ago.

WILL THERE BE A STRIKE?
CONTRACTORS ARE PESSIMISTIC
 ON THE OUTLOOK.

Carpenters Want More Pay and Half
 HOIiday-Painters Are Also Agitating
 for Increase While the Plumbers Are
 on the Fence.
 Will there be a strike this spring? is the all-important topic among contrac- tors, on the one hand, and journeymen carpenters, painters and plumbers, on the other That the contractors look on the matter with foreboding there is no denying, and they are busy making all the necessary preparations to pro- tect their interests should strike be forced upon them.
 The lumber dealers are also greatly concerned and are actively engaged in laying plans which will protect them and their customers. A lumber dealer said yesterday that in case the carpen- ters and joiners go on strike for a wage schedule of $3.50 a day they will close their yards as well as their mills. The same plan has been followed in other cities. The lumbermen have a strong organization.
 The demands being made by the car- penters and joiners are, practically, that they get half-holiday every week and that their wages be increased to a standard whereby they will receive the same money as they are getting at present, but without the half-holiday which they want thrown in.
 A builder expressed the belief that it would cost nearly $t,0OO more to build a two-family house o-day than it did a 1 year ago. This is due to an increase of the price of all building materials, Lum- Der costs $10 more thousand than 1t did a year ago, Iaths $2 more a thou sand, building hardware is 20 per cent higher, and there is a general advance all along the line. He predicted that the building business would get bad setback if there was a strike.
 Regarding the painters, it is a we'll known fact that they are making a claim for 50 cents a day more than the present schedule, which Is $25O, and they are waiting to hear from the em- ployers on the subject. The latter, or the other hand, claim that they know nothing regarding the request
 The plumbers, it is claimed, are sit ting on the fence and watching witt eagle eye the outcome of the carpen. ters and painters. The union scale fol journeymen plumbers is $S a day.

CITY SAVES $tO,OOO
NEW LAWS OPERATE TO HELP
 NEW HAVEN

Taxes win Begin to Come on April
 Instead of Three Months Afterwards
 as FormerIy-Rosy View of the City's
 Finances.
 City Controller Rowe has found that he will be compelled to borrow this year within $45O,Oo0 of what he borrow ed last year, to keep the city going along. New laws passed last year by the legislature in relation to the city have brought about this economy.
 In the first place the city will not have to borrow $250OOO to fund the floating debt. Legislative act provided for the bonding of this debt and it will be paid up as the bonds mature, the same to be provided for out of the sinking fund.
 The controller also figures that this year he can reduce his borrowing $200,- 900 to carry the city along in antici- patton of the collection of taxes. This is a condition resulting from the legis- tb.LlNe dCI WEflCll plciNCS lAlS lilAiS L1I lllC collection of taxes at April 1, instead of July 1. Tax Collector Anthony is now sending out the bills to taxpayers and it is believed the responses will be early.
 Although the time for the beginning fthe collection of taxes Is set for ward three months the time for the penalty of 10 per cent. for non-payment is brought forward only one month. That is the time when the penalty goes on is now August |. It was formerly September 1. This provision in regard to penalty may hold of many payments | till late but it is believed that on the whole the city cEl get along this year without borrowing within $2O0,000 as much as it did last year.
