 We recommend that a letter to the President embodying this suggestion be sent by this bar.
 Replying to the invitation of the Birmingham bar we suggest that committee be sent to the meeting on the 18th of March, 1909, with instruct Ions of behalf of this bar to oppose al present the endorsement of any partic- ular candidate and that action at this meeting be confined to protest against the appointment of Judge Hundley,a and that any further parSi- cipation in such meeting by any mem- Der of this bar attending said meeting will be regarded as his personal action and not bindinO on this bar"

Locomotive No. $50 of the Maine
Central, one of those which are being
fitted for using oil for fuel was the
first to be completed and was sent out
on the road from Portland for the first
time Monday for trial. proving a COM
plete success. 1t is said that the oil
burning locomotives make heavy
smoke but that they have many points
of superiority when compared with the
coal burners. Sufficient oil can be
stored in the tanks to enable the
engine to move freight or passenger
train long distance without StopplaS
to take on an additional supply.
Steam can also be generated in much
quicker time than is the case with the
coal burners which is a point of great
importance 1t is also believed that
the use of oil will prolong the life OF
the engine. and expense will also be
saved in the way of accessories as no
shoyels, rakes, axes or bars VIII pe
necessary. The greatest saving no" =
ever that will result from their use is
the elimination of fires along the
right of way. The three engines
which are being remodelled into oil
burners will be used during the COM
ing summer along the Somerset and
Rangeley divisions of the road.
