USE OF OIL GROWS
ON AMERICAN ROADS

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The use Of
oil as fuel on railroads of the United
States greatly increased last year, and
the results of it's introduction in the
United States navy have fully met ex-
pectations. Steamship companies also
are equipping their vessels with oil
burners.
In the navy, two battleships-the
North Dakota and the Delaware-were
thus equipped and four battleships now
in course of construction will burn oil
as auxiliary to coal. In several Eu-
ropean countries similar experiments
are now being made.
The consumption by the railroads in
1909 amounted to 19,9a9,394 barrels, an
increase of S,050,324 barrels or is per
cent over the previous year. They use

HOURS Of SHOPPING.
DURING WEEK
SHOP EARLY AND THEN YOUR
LATE SHOPPING WILL NOT
BE UNPLEASANT.

'.It would be we'll for all Christmas
shoppers to remember that this Is the
week when different hours of business
go into effect than during previous
Christmas weeks said merchant
yesterday. 1T might be we'll for each
shopper to cut out the schedule pub
lished in The Missoulian this morn
ing" he continued, land paste it in
his hat, or bonnet, as thes case may
be. There is only a week left for
Christmas shopping and it is in the
interests of the merchants, the clerks
and the people that the rush does not
all come during the last day or two.
Such would make things very bad. A
purchaser in a big crowd has little
satisfaction in shopping, as the clerks
cannot give him the proper attention
or display for him what he might
most desire to see. If each one would
resolve to get the bulk of his shopping
done by the middle of the week, there
would ne much tetter chance for all
to get served when they return to
secure items they may have forgotten
or overlooked
The Hours.
EARLY Christmas shopping has been
the cry for many years. It was
long time before the appeal was heed
ed, but to a great extent now the last
half of the last week does not see the
rush which it formerly presented. This
season the clerks have taken hand
in the hours and in general the first
three days-Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday-will find the stores open
at night until o'clock. The next
two days-Thursday and Friday-there
will be open doors until 10 o'clock,
and Saturday night the closing hour
will again be midnight
AS was stated in these columns yes
terday. there will be some deviation
chants desiring to close at 6 p. M, the
usual hour. during the first two days
of the business week. This, however.
will be settled among the proprietors
of these departments. For instance.
The furniture men do not anticipate
any great rsuh on Monday or Tues
day, at least no extraordinary demand
that will necessitate their remaining
open after O'Clock. The same is true
of the hardware man and the butcher.
These establishments will. therefore.
probably observe an earlier closing
hour than the dry goods men or the
boot and shoe men, the haberdasher
and the jeweler. The srocers will
probably remain open as long az there
Is any business to be done up to
O'Clock and the novelty dealer will
doubtless find rich after the
! hour Of p. M.

story in the current number of
Popular Mechanics tells how the
tremedous pulling power of an auto
mobile of the ordinary touring car
type was demonstrated at Los Angeles
by an enthusiast who hitched his 30
horsepower car to 11O-tcn passenger
locomotive. and pulled it along the
tracks hundred yards or more. The
feat was performed on the Sante Fe
tracks and was the result of an argu-
ment between an automobile dealer
and a railroad engineer who had re-
Gently acquired an automobile The
dealer asserted that the engineer s
automobile had sufficient power to
pull the locomotive-and proved it. He
selected q car from his stock that was
similar in every respect to that pur-
chased by the engineer. A heavy rope
was wound around the rear axle of
the automobile and attached to the
coupler on the locomotive rowcatcher.
In order to secure the necessary trac-
tion for the rear wheel of his car, the
motorist put four men in the tonneau
and another stood on the rope. The
automobile engine was started slowly
and the wheels whirred for moment
after the clutch had oeen thrown In
without moving the locomotive. Then
the big engine commenced to creep
slowly forward and was towed the re-
quired distance. After the test the
automobile was driven through the
streets of the city to prove that the
feat had not strained the mechanism.

FOR UNION PACIFIC

An article describing the educa-

Union Pacific was published in the
Railway Age Gazette Of June 10. last.
The bureau since then has enjoyed
substantial growth. The total en-
rollment on December 5, exclusive OF
the Japanese, who are mainly track
laborers, had been 1903. of which
number 327 had left the service of the
company. OF the 1876 still in service.
2s5 are delinquent, that is, have not
shown sufficient interest in the work
to warrant the bureau continuing to
carry them. This is but 20.7 per cent
of the total number enrolled and in
service. leaving 1.0s1 student employees
in good standing, a percentage Of 1913,
which seems very creditable. About
100 Japanese track laborers also are
enrolled and in the service. The
bureau is correcting an average of
about 600 lessons a month, and is
sending out about u student helpers
month from the station training
school. OF the total number of stu-
dents sent out from the training school
since it's establishment IS per cent
have been promoted, and about 10 per
cent more are ready for promotion
and awaiting positions. Only per
cent of those who have received in
struction in the training school have
left the service.
