Under the circumstances 1t would be
impossible that any other fuel could
be obtained which could displace oil,
and such being the case. We have
guaranteed consumption from every
railroad on the coast as long as the
oil fields hold out From government
reports we may not expect exhaustion
until sope future generation. Here is
the firmest kind OF foundation upon
which an industry could be laid; an
absolutely assured consumption.
The wheels of industry must turn,
and at the lowest possible cost, with
the cheapest utilization of labor. This
point, economy is the utilization OF
labor leads us to the next considera
lion, namely: money saved commercial
companies in wages, which would be
necessary with the use of any other
fuel
Experiments have demonstrated the
fact that # costs four times as much
TO load ear with coal as II does to
r. 4 tank car with Oil Probably rs
to- would be very high average car
load of coal; fifty tons would be near
er the general average II requires
two tons of coal TO do the same work
as one ton of oil. At this rate it
has been figured out that it would take
six car loads OF coal to do the work
OF one car load of oil! SO much for
space.
The advantages of the uses of oil
have been so greatly appreciated that
within the last very few years. in
Los Angeles county alone, over 5000
factories have adopted IT, AS coal
consumers they could not possibly
have existed.
In Northern California the use of
oil is becoming more and more gen
eral. Flats, apartment houses, homes,
business blocks. hotels, factories mills
and power houses use oil for fuel.
It's cleanliness, its economy in the mat.
ter of space. its actual dolarsaying
capacity, combine 10 make it the ideal
fuel of fuels.
A general demand is being felt in
all of the fields for enough oil to sup
ply the foreign as well as the home
markets. Russia is large consumer
of oils. Japan is reported to be about
to remove the duty imposed over a
year ago on our oil and by that means
to revive n very fair-sized foreign mar
net. In China, our oil. in refined
state, is very largely used, indeed
An officia! of the Standard Oil Com
pany recently informed the writer that
the high-grade light oils of Sumatra
were cutting into our Mongolian trade
very considerably on account of their
market for it; but the American oil
consumed by China is an enormous
quantity.
Our own provinces consume great
deal OF the product, and with oiling
stations for the navy, we may expect
an unprecedented activity among pro-
ducers to supply our distant oiling
stations. as they can barely keep up
with the demand now.
