OIL BURNERS FOR SALT
LAKE DIVISION OF S. P.

cifc has been under serious consider
alton for some time, and that plans for
the erection of fuel oil plans are now
being determined upon by Chief En-
gineer Ashton and his staff.
The change from coal to oil would
require the o%verhauling of many en-.
gines, says the Humboldt Star, and
the erection of new fuel oil plants
would embodv the expenditure of a
large appropriation. Discussing the
subject, a well.posted official said:
''The question of changing from
coal to oil has been under considera
ton for some time, and Assistant En-
gineer X. 4. Kramer and A. q. Camp
bell of Chief Engineer Ashton's staff
have been ordered to make a trip
over the Sacramento division to inspect
the fuel oil plants between Sparks
and San Francisco. They are doing
this now and when they have secured
the information they will return to
Sparks and make a trip over the "
freight districts to Carlin for the pur-
pose Of selecting locations for the oil
plants.
The oil burning territory will first
be extended from Sparks to Carhn, ann
then, if thought advisable by reason
of economy, will be extended from
Carlin to Ogden.
"Of course it will require consider
able time to get everything in readi'
ness for a change Of this nature, ovei
a territory covering the mileage Of the
Salt Lake division.

EMPLOY ONLY WHITES

which has been the best paying propo-
sition in the camp, with the exception
of the open mining at Copper Flat. 1t
is declared by men who are well posted
on the property's condition that the
mine has been worked under this sys-
TEN until it is so dangerous that it may
have to be abandoned at almost any
time. Other workings will, it is as
sured, be opened, and all of the work
ings now operated, with the exception
of the main shaft, will necessarily be
abandoned. The Veteran is conceded
by miners of the district to be the
most dangerous mine in the state.
The fact that the company had all
the mules pulled out of the workings
and either put them out to pasture or
on surface work is taken as an indica-
ton that the company expects the
strike to be long drawn out. While
work has not been interfered with on
Copper Flat, the men are beginning {"
express dissatisfaction in certain quar-
tiers, and it is thought that they may
Join the Veteran men in their strike.
There are 300 men at the Veteran.
The only men employed at this time
are watchmen and a few who are re-
quired to keep the property in trim.
In the event that the strike spreads
TO Copper Flat, it will cause the shut
down of the Steptoe valley shelters
at McGill, which handle the ores from
the district. and which are kept run
ming by the Copper Flat product. II
will also mean the discontinuance of
the ore hauling on the Nevada North
ern railroad, which will throw many
other men out of work. There are about
800 men employed on the various shifts
at the McGill smelter.

SAYS HERMuSTON SOIL
AS GOOD AS YAKIMA

That the soil which Is being re-
claimed or which is about to be re-
claimed in the vicinity of Echo and
Hermiston is just as good or better
than the soil in the famous Yakima
country, was the statement made here
yestedday by William Everett, real
estate dealer of North Yakima. Mr..
Everett spent considerable time in the
west end of the county and made a
very careful investigation of the
soils.
This statement, coming from a man
who has lived in Yakima for the past
six years, and who has seen. much of
the raw land cleared of sage brush
and made to produce the finest Of
fruits and vegetables, and whose in
terests are all identified with that
country, is considered important. Mr..
Everett was unstinted in his praise of
the conditions on the private recla-
nation projects as well as the one
undertaken by the government, He
says the future Of the west end of
Umatilla county is assuredly very
bright.

Figures from theauditor's office of

off at points in Umatilla county dur
ing March, have been collected at
that office. This is but IS less than

show that only 10,0S1 colonists came
to the state in March and April OF

houses the other afternoon, and made
himself at home, as he does in most

stood in the wings watching, danger

body dared to remind him of the
risks, till at last a carpenters labor

STRICT DRY" LAW
FOR GRANTS PASS

Grants Pass, Ore, April S.-Ever
since the local option law went into
effect in Grants Pass there has been
considerable contention over the mat
ter of alleged violations Officials
have been criticised because II ap-
peared that the liquor was being sold
and they were inactive. But the trou-
BILE was the result of lack of a city
ordinance confirming the state law. AT
the last meeting of the council such
an ordinance was passed, Mayor Kin
ney has now signed 1t, and the Off
GERS are fully equipped to put the cid
on good and tight" in Grants Pass.
The new ordinance requires that all
soft drink places. and every resort
where drinks of any sort are sold,
must remove all screens from the
windows. and keep "open front doors "
No blinds are to be used at the win
dows and they rwhq drink in these
places must do so In plain sight of
passersby.
What is considered the best fea-
ture of the new ordinance, so far as
law enforcement is concerned, is the
provision that gives officers the right
of search. In case any 'joint" is
suspected of selling intoxicating IL
quors, it can be entered and searched,
The presence Of such liquors shall
be taken as prima facie evidence of
actual Or intended violation of law,
and all goods" so found will be con-
fiscated. All places found to contain
intoxicating liquors will be declared
a nuisance and closed up at once.
The new law will not go into effect
for 80 days. This is done that the
propretors of all soft drink places
may have ample time to remove their
awning doors, fake down the blinds,
and otherwise prepare themselves for
the periodical inspections" of the
marshal. There is no question but
that Grants Pass will be dry "for
sure" from now on.
