Ny friends version of this incident,
I have since heard, is that | seated
myself In the taxi and leaning through

down, opened the door and exclaimed

when this drilling would commence.

Of the king without some preliminary
instruction.
Earl Cromer and the other noblemen
talked to me for a while and got me
to relate In brief the story Of my ex-
perience, and they appeared to be
very much interested. Perhaps they
did It only to give me confidence and

NORTHWESTERN
TO DISCARD OIL
BURNING ENGINES

For more than q year the North
western has been operating Oil
burning engines on its Nebraska
and Wyoming lines. They have
proven a pronounced success, but
nevertheless. they are going to
the discard. Thirty-five of the
engines are being changed back
to the coal burners.
The reason for changing back
from oil to coal burning engines
is because the Northwestern is no
longer able to get a sufficient
supply Of fuel Oil. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Wyoming
line runs through one of the big
gest oil fields in the United Sta
ties.
Originally from the crude oil
there was taken out Is per cent
of gasoline. The balance of the
we'll output went into fuel Oil and
by products. BY new process
that has been installed in all the
Wyoming Oil refineries the guam
| tity of gasoline taken from the
crude Oil has been raised to 95
Iper cent. aE
With so little fuel oil remain
ing, the railroad people cannot
get hold of enough to keep their
engines running on this fuel.
There are immense coal fields
in close proximity to the Wyom-
ing lines of the Northwestern and
these will furnish fuel for the en-
gines operated west of the Mis-
souri, river. One of the largest of
the fields is at Hudson station,
and is reached by switch from
the Northwestern's main line.
