NORTHWESTERN
TO DISCARD OIL
BURNING ENGINES

For more than a year the North
western has been operating oil burn
ing 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 sufficient supply of fuel oil.
notwithstanding the fact that the
Wyoming line. runs through one of
the greatest oil fields in the United
States.
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 a
new process that has been installed in
all the Wyoming oil refneries the
quantity of gasoline taken from the
crude oil has been raised to 95 per
cent.
With so little fuel oil remaining, 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 Wyoming lines
of the Northwestern and these will
furnish fuel for the engines operated
west of the Missouri river. One of the
largest of the fields is at Hudson
station and is reached by a switch
from the Northwestern main line.

Nebraska now leads all the other
states of the union in promptness and

to the already brilliant crown of the

United States Internal Revenue
Collector Loomis for this state set
his preliminary estimate of the NUM-

that might be little high. Now he

about 5000 a day." he said. at is
remarkable how promptly the people
are responding and not waiting till
the last moment, as we feared they
might.
"Another remarkable thing is that
the greatest number of them come in
accompanied by checks for immediate
payment, although the law does not
require them to be paid until June IS.
This saves a lot of work as we'll as
gives the government the use of the
money from now till June IS for moth
ing. 1t is most commendable. Fully
80 per cent of the tax on incomes un-
der $4,000 is being paid when the re-
turn is made; and between 90 and 65
per cent of the taxes on higher in
comes.
"Still another thing that we note
is the intelligence with which the
somewhat complicated blanks are
made out. 1t is a high compliment
to the education of Nebraskans that
so few mistakes are made. The news
papers and banks of the state are
to be thanked for helping in this
matter"
Mr.. Loomis calls attention to the
fact that all firms or individuals must
make. return of the persons to
whom they pay $500 or more per an
mum in salaries, wages, rents, interest,
etc. Blanks for this purpose can be
obtained at the collectors Office in

Reval, on. the Finnish gulf, together

Since the renewal of hostilities the

Especially rapid has been that

have departed by way of the trans

Mr.. Heney also attempted to show

CHASE PRUSSIANS.

CHASE PRUSSIANS.
The Americans moved forward
eagerly to the attack behind a bar
rage fire, the first time this has been
done by our troops. Some OF the
Americans made captures and others
chased Prussian troops through the
trenches as far as $50 meters, going
beyond the detectives sought.
The raid had been planned care
fully and rehearsals were held the day
before. The barrage fire began at $50
o'clock in the morning and continued
until 6:35, guns of all calibers taking
part.
The Americans among the 100 in
the attacking party were surprised at
the precision with which the French
shells fell and went little faster than
thew should have. They were within
80 yards of the dropping shells when
they reached the enemy lines.
, Relief had just been completed IN
the German trenches and officers were
making the rounds. The Germans
took shelter in a dugout rooted with
rails and sandbags. A French shell
made a direct hit and the enemy
scattered about the trench. At the
same moment the American and
French jumped in.
Captured Enemy Patty.
There was some hand to hand
fighting, but the entire enemy party
at this point was captured. The raid
ers chased the enemy out OF other
shelters and along communicating
trenches without catching any. There
was some criticism of the fact that
the Americans we're so enthusiastic
that they went beyond the obJectives;;
The raiders and prisoners started
back across No Mans land on sched-
ule time. but were caught in a Ger
man counter barrage. One enemy
she'll wounded five Germans and SIX
Frenchmen, but no Americans.
The prisoners were from 10 to 4O
wears old. All apparently were under
nourished, but said food was plenti--
full in the trenches. The similarity OF
their stories, however, aroused susp,i-
sions. Most of the prisoners formerly
worked in factories or on farms.
Shelled Sammies Position.
The artillery duel in the American
sector north-northwest of Toul grows
more intense daily. The Germans
fred hundred or more shells during
the last "a hours, and late this evening
began to bombarded violently some OF
on1 batteries with gas and high ex-
plosive shells.
The American artillery has replied
constantly, doing most effective work
against the enemy front line trenches,
battery positions and wire entanlgle-
ments. Numerous enemy working
parties also were shelled. Beyond OBJ
servation by balloons, there has been
no aerial activity, owing to the low
clouds and rain. =,

sBuFFlae. HURTS OLD PLATE
Modern Method of Cleaning Destroys
Color and Removes Distinguishing
Marks, 1t Is Claimed.

The value of old plate is seriously Oh
minished by methods Of cleaning NJ
present in common use. The removal
Of the surface by the process known as
'buffing'' not only destroys the beaut-
full blue color which alone comes from
age and hand-cleaning, but in great
measure also-the makers marks and
owners initials, which signify its pro
venance and guarantee its commercial
value. A certain lot Of old family Sill
yer in good condition was by i'll luck
given lately to be cleaned. 1t is no"
unrecognizable, and although having
perfect "shine," the makers marks
of the seventeenth century are almost
undecipherable. Were these pieces e2-
hibited beside some Of the beautiful
old silver now shown at the museum
the extent of the havoc wrought on
them would be surprise. Both for
the looks of old plate and out OF regard
for it's worth in money, owners should
beware of modern ''bufting." .
If silver is badly furnished, one or
two applications Of q metal polish USED
for brass and copper will, with little
patience, remove the worst OF the tar
nish, when silver polish should DE
used. Camphor placed with silver
when packed will prevent tarnish.-
