OIL BURNING ENGINES
Northwestern Road Adopts the
System on Nebraska
Lines.E

Omaha, April 18.-Oii will supplant
coal as fuel for both passenger and
freight locomotive yes on the Northwest
arn lines from Omaha through Nebras-
ka and Wyoming divisions after May
l.. The change has Eeen gradually
taking place until only two trains at
present have coal burning engines. Oil
burners will take the place Of these
in May.
Although the oil burners are 80 ex-
tensively used out Of Omaha, the tank
station nearest to that city is at
Fremont. The North estern, however,
is constructing tanks in the Omaha
yards, and they will be ready not later
than May 1, with capacity for 5000
barrels, about 210, 600 gallons. The
fuel is obtained from the Casper
fields.
A test of the oil burners shows that
in hauling a passenger train from
Chadron to Norfolk, on the Nebraska
division, a distance of 81 miles, less
than 5000 gallons. the amount re-
quired to fill the engine tank, was
used. A saving in time also is made
since it is unnecessary to stop to take
on fuel, where the coal burning en-
gines required FIVE stops. This the
Northwestern officials declare will be
a saving ia money as we'll as in time.
The only change necessary in equip
ping a coal burning locomotive for
oil is to place an oil tank in the
tender and pipe the oil to a huge
burner under the fire box. The crude
oil is not burned, but 1t is heated I'M
til it gives off a gas. This gas is forced
through steam, producing a spray that
burns with a clear blue flame and IN
tense heat. The oil burning engine
will eliminate one of the terrnrs of the
farmer through whose land the railroad
runs, that of the track fires. They like
wise will do away with the cinders and
coal smoke that is so obnoxious to tray
elers. The fremen is changed from a
sooty, sweating coal shoveler into a
neat mechanic. whose duties ale to
feed the oil through the pipes to the
fire box. All the cleaning that is
necessary is to the tiues through which
| the heat passes. This is accomplished
by throwing sand into the fire box,
which is picked up by the draught
and carried through the iues, cleans
ing them of SCOT and CRIME.

ARTES|AN SPOUTER
Edgemont Has a Remarkable
Well Sunk by the City.

Edgemont, April 1S.-Scores of
people continue to inspect daily the
mammoth hot water artesian spouter
which was completed here recently by
the city. With a water temperature
of 1926 degrees, the well is one of the
artesian wonders of the country.
Many new and interesting details
concerning this great hot water spouter
have been ascertaiued. The pressure
of G4 pounds per square inch indicates
a bottom pressure Of more than l,400
pounds which is something terrific in
tho way cf pressure in an ~artesian
we'll. The head or outcrop of the
stratum from which the immense flow
comes is believed to be near Pringle,
about 30 miles away, and at an altitude
of 1900 feet above Edgemont. The
immense well has u flow Of $40 gal
Ions rer minute, and this indicates a
velocity of nearly 400 feet per minute.
Surplus water from the we'll will
be forced by the pressure of the we'll
itself into a reservoir situated $500
feet distant. The cause for the high
temperature Of the water Is a mystery
to experts. The mean annual tempera-
ture at Pringle, where the water en-
ters the ground and flows into the
artesian basin, probably is not more
than 43 degrees. and the normal tenn
perature from the depth to which the
artesian spouter was drilled would be
1903 degrees -leaving 90 degrees unex
planned. The only other artesiar
we'll which is in the same class is al
Nebraska City, Neb., where a flow
was struck at a depth of i,46l. so feet,
which is said to be colder than spring
water, and where below the level stat
ed the bailer brought up water which,
after going through the cold water Of
this flow, was yet a little warm.

COWPUNCHERS
Not Wanted in Brazil System
of Cattle Raising Primitive.

Deadwood. April 1S.-That there is
no demand for American cowboys in
Brazil and hat they would make a
serious mistake to go there, is the ad-
vice of Hugh Chittick, formerly one
of the best known stockbuyers in the
northwest. who Is now working for a
Brazilian outfit neal st. Patio.
Shortly after going to Brazil. Chit
tick wrote to the states and said that
there was room for some of the Ameri-
can cowpunchers there. Now he writes
TO a friend near Belle Fouiche to col
rect his first impressions, saying that
he has learned tc change his mind.
He declares that there are almost no
American cattle companies there, that
the Brazilian companies pay very
little, the grub is poor and negroes are
on u par with the whites. The natives
there are not used to American cow
mems methods and live and work like
the American Indian of many years
ago, with the most primitive methods.
Chittick says his company received over
40. 900 cattle this season. many of
them having been run over 800 miles
across the country, the entire trip be-
ing made with "a pack outfit and that

Chittick says he hopes that his letter
will be published and that 1t will
prevent any Americans from making
the trip there as they will only work

The Convenience of Checks

Of the billions of dollars changing hands daily in
business transactions, less than five per cent is actual
money. Checks,-or written orders representing the
actual money are more convenient in business
than cash.
On receipt of your first deposit with this bank, we
give you your bank book and blank checks Instead
of carrying your money about, you carry your checks
and write them for the amount of purchases or OBJ
legations. The checks that others give you in pay
ment are brought to us for deposit to your credit
and in turn the amount may be checked upon by
you. Ii a check is lost the bank is notified and pay
ment is stopped.
Checks are desirable because all chance of loss, error
and theft are avoided. When paid and returned by
the oank, tney are an lndlsputable receipt. Such
protection is valuable to your business, yet a check
account with this bank costs you nothing whatever.

A NEW YEARS THOUGHT.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart with all thy soul. and with all thy mind
him shalt thou and to him shalt thou
cleave."
What then will be the reward of faithful love
and service be? Or we working without the
hope of a reward? To be pure and true, love
must be disinterested Granted. Yet. is there not
an exquisite JOY keen incentive to further serv-
ice in the encouragement which God in bis In
finite goodness grants to from time to time,
and that in spite Of all the imperfections Of our
love and service? Why then. should we not look
forward to our great reward--Gods approval?
II we truly love him, should we not strive with
all our might for his final We'll done?" Surely it
ia not wrong to look forward to the joy OF that
assurance, even while are fully aware Of our
coming short of 1t, yet in our best work; for thus
we learn to know more, and to think more, Of the
love which, seeing the intention, gives us credit
for the effort though the result may not be, is not
what we had hoped to offer him.
With such thoughts the New Year begins. As
a child tries to please the father he loves
dearly, as a friend who seeks every opportunity
to prove his friendship, may loving thank
full children of our God, rejoicing in the knowledge
of his love, go way full of trust for the fu
ture, neglecting opportunity. however small
it may be- to prove our thankful love- and asking
him to kindle in intense desire to please
him. an ardent longing for his blessed words of
commendation We'll done thou good and faith
