COAL OIL TO THE RESCUE

On account of the shortage OF prop

produce. ordinary box cars lined with
paper and equipped with kerosene
heaters.
The Standard Oil Company informs
us that shippers of apples and poJa-
toes, apples particularly, have taken
to the idea and are now taking ordi-
nary cars from the railroads and
equipping them with heaters. The
company's main station at Tacoma,
the report says, sold out its entire
stock of heaters in a week 10 parties
in the fruit-packing districts of the
Northwest, and still the cry is More
heaters"
Most of these heaters will go East
and never come back but the fruit
cror is moving, thanks to the eff
cheney and reliability of the modern
