In o1ering to President Hadley OF

Taft has made a choice of the highest

lifelong study of railroad questions
and is an acknowledged authority up
on them; and his broad knowledge OF

investigation. That the President
choice should have fallen on such

Oil Fuel To Save Forests.
Rochester Herald.)

Twenty locomotives have been turn
ed out of the Northern Pacific shops
at South Tacoma converted from coal
to oil burners. In the course of a
short time all the Northern Pacific en-
gines in operation between Portland
and Puget Sound will use oil for fuel.
The road passes through heavily
wooded section. and the object of the
change in fuel is to reduce to a mini
mum the danger of forest fires. The
crude oil is received from the Cali
fornia field, and each tank will hold
1900 gallons, which is sufficient for a
round trip between Tacoma and
Portland.
In order to put an end to the fires
which annually sweep over the Adj
rOndack forest preserves. the railroads
which penetrate the territory might
well be compelled to adopt oil as a
fuel. The supply of this fuel is as
convenient of access as coal, and
there remains only the changing of
the engines to accommodate them to
to the new conditions. The waste of
the natural resources of the state
could be stopped in this manner, and
it ought to be so ordered.
