Worlds Authority on Oil Shows That the Supply for Oi! Will Contin-
 ue Active.
OIL SUPPLY NEEDED
Many of the Railroads Are Now Using It and New Uses Are Being Found
 All the Time.

Many persons thought with the coming of peace there would be a decided slack in the demand for oil, and therefore the prospective oil fields of Alaska might not be devel- oped, but all signs point the other way.
 number of companies already have been formed to prospect and develop Alaska oil, and some of them are working in the Boring river fields. There is said to be plenty of evidence to support the belief that some day great oil districts in Alaska will be opened to commerce. Regarding the future demand, an au- thority says:
 Will the demand for oil diminish or increase now that peace is in sight? Before the earning capacity suffers it can really stand consider able diminution until other oil wields of the world, which have been in a measure impaired by the impossibil- ity of additional drilling, hit their stride of new production. I should say it would be to the interest of the country that there should be. q slight diminution in the demand A great many persons, however, do not look for this. New uses for petrol cum and it's by-products have come with the war and will continue with peace.
 "Oil as fuel is enjoying more general use daily. All the Navies are being equipped to burn fuel oil. The English and American consump- tion is enormous Many of the mer chant ships are being constructed to burn fuel oil In that respect the de velopment of further exploitation ot the fields in Texas, Mexico and Cali fornia is a Godsend to our economic life. We need not suppose because the thousands of airplanes and tens of thousands of tanks and motor Tor ries will no longer be engaged in war-like pursuits, that the use of pc troleum for fuel will cease. The dTIllGS IUuSI US IhOiA supplies must be transported; France must be rebuilt.
 "The gasoline transportation Will play a part in this work, which nlay take 20 years of uninterrupted effort. It may not be known generally that a number of railroads in the United States are already adapting their new locomotive equipment to burn. ing fuel oil. These roads run through vast coal regions and do not need to do so, but those roads that can easily tap fields producing heavy and dense oils, adaptable for fuel, have estimated it will be a great economy
 The Atchison & Topeka is making such a change and is turning some of it's coal burners into oil burners The Southern Pacific has entered the oil industry itself, and it's trans actions in petroleum figure in its most recent financial statement"
