Oil Burning Is
Found Successful

Found Successful
The burning of oil for fuel
in engines has been tried as an
experiment by the Northwest
ern railroad and a more exten.
sive use will be made of it this
year. The experiment was
made with ten oil-burning en-
gines on the branch line be-
tween Chadron and Lander.
Wyo., daily hauling freight
trains. The result was so salts
factory that within three
months every locomotive on
the Wyoming division of the
Northwestern and every North.
western locomotive in service
in the Black Hills will be equip
ped with an oil burner.
The test was made on the
branch line because the newly
developed oil fields near Casper
offered an easily accessible sup
ply. The experiment, say
those interested, showed that
for fuel purposes oil has no
equal. Because the use of oil
is more economical, cleaner ard
more convenient in handling
than coal, it will ultimately be
adopted as fuel over the entire
system and probably by other
systems. -s
The test showed that 100
gallons of the fuel oil contains
as many heat units as a ton of
the best grade of soft coal,
while the cost of the oil is only
a little more than so per cent
of the cost of coal. Already
storage tanks of 5000 gallons
capacity each have been erect
ed at Casper, Lander, Long
Pine and Chadron and plans
are now being prepared for the
installation of others at differ
ent points along the Black Hill
and Wyoming lines.
Another feature in favor of
the use of oil is its cleanliness.
With even the best coal, the
engine fiues became clogged
and often the locomotive has
to be sent to the shops to- be
With oil as a fuel the
flues seldom get clogged with
SCOT or dirt accumulations, buff
they do, a handful of sand
thrown on the burners will
clean the flues as if they had
been secured with sandpaper.
The transformation of a coal
burning engine into an oil
burner is not difficult and the
cost is nominal. A great burn
err, shaped like the burner on a
gas stove, is put in the firenox
and is fed by pipes running
from a tank placed where the
tender for coal is now. The
tender, which contains thirty
tons of soft coal, can be con-
verified into a tank containing
1000 gallons of oil.
On an oil burning locomotive
the fireman's job of feeding the
fire would be practically a sine
cure. Instead of the back
breaking work of shoveling ton
after ton of coal into a bottom
less fire box, he simply sits up
on his seat and manipulates a
valve which increases or dimin-
ishes the supply of oil being
over the burner. With
The use of oil, engines may be
run further at the same cost,
The wear on them will not be
so great, the flues and ether
parts of the burner will be kept
cleaner and the labor saving
will he great

THE BLUFF AGAINST ROOSEVELT.

Inc promised mountain OF the flOOSe-
velt letter holding up the proceedings
against the harvester trust turns into
molehill. 1t appears upon the facts
that the letter simply checked the suit
because the senate was Investigating
the company thru the bureau of cor
porations and to give time for the re-
port Of the experts thus employed that
the matter was taken up in the cabinet
and the delay there decided upon be-
cause the president had no desire to
embarrass the investigation then in
progress by the senate. It was
thought In the cabinet and by the
president that this delay would be
short but when Attorney General Bona
parte and the president were ready a
few months later to institute the suit
investigation by experts was still in
progress and was delayed merely to
permit their report and the added evil
dence which might develop therefrom
to be concluded.
Thus If Roosevelt's letter and the
consequent delay did anything it as
sisted to the trust prosecutions later
and made toward strengthening the
governments case. The allegations
made as campaign assault are then
unjustiiable and likely TO react as a
boomerang upon the administration
which is making them.
1t is going to be a pretty hard job.
this effort to raise a dust which shall
give the present administration cover
by charging Roosevelt With collision
with the trusts. The undeniable fact
trust hated and feared man in the pub
lie eye to disprove the charge. OPP
posed to this is the other undeniable
and significant fact that the interests
which demand and expect special favor
are supporting Mr.. Taft for renom-
nation and that their satellites and
hired men are all busy twentyfour
hours day in the service Of his cam
paign. The common everyday voter
can not coincide the hatred special in
terests for Roosevelt with charges Of
collision or the united support these
interests are giving Taft with admin
istration zeal against trusts and mo-
nopolistic interests.
The general voters are satisfied that
Roosevelt stands on the square deal be-
tween man and man under the law. 1t
will require much more than assertion
from the Taft camp to destroy or shake
this conviction. It is corroborative Of
the popular faith in Roosevelt that the
administration with all the papers of
the previous administration at hand,
is unable to bring forward anything
better than the bluff Of the harvester
letter.

THE COST OF KEEPING FIeH1INe MEN.

The bureau Of education has been
aguring between the homemaker and
the fighting man, The results IS the
estimate that at the present rate of
expenditure the four countries Of Ger
many. France. Great Britain, and The
United States will spend in the next
forty years, the life Of one generation,
for the support Of armies and naves
an amount sufficient to build 10000
600 country and village houses at an
average cost of $4,000 each. With
father, mother, and four children in
each Of these houses they would fur
nish homes for 120. 900. 900 people, which
is more than the total present of these
four countries living in villages and
the open country. Thus the fear Of
war Is consuming the homes Of the
rural and village population Of these
great nations In a single generation.
Another startling comparison is the
of the world each year in time of peace
is $4,000, 900, 900, which equals the total
valuation Of the wheat and corn crops
Of the whole Of the United States. Sew
