Chanute Button Factory Makes
Market for Shell.
Occasional Gems Are Found by
MusSeI Hunters.

Chanute, Kan, Aug. 6.-Fishermen
on the Neosho river are finding a
profitable side-line this year in har-
vesting mussel shells from the muddy
bottom of the stream and marketing
them to the local button factory. The
factory pays a cent a pound for the
shells or $40 ton and many hundreds
of dollars worth of the shells have
been sold this season. 80
In addition to the proceeds from
these sales a number of valuable
pearls have been recovered from the
shells by the fishermen They FIND
pearl sack" similar to those of the
musseIs salt water cousin, the oyster.
A. G. Solomon, who is in charge of
the button works also is on the market
for the pearls for which the price
varies in proportion to the size of the
gem.
The operation of the factory is. con-
fined to cutting blanks from the shells
These strips of various sizesN are
shipped to factories in the east where
the finished product-pearl buttons
is manufactured.
The amount of shell which can be
gathered depends good deal upon the
workman. J. @. anderson of Rollin
recently took out $500 pounds in four
days. A dozen mCssel fishermen are
now at work along the river near this
city. They are getting out enough
shell SO the local plant is running all
its machines ten hours a day
The plant, which was brought to the
city last winter thru the efforts of the
chamber of commerce, is housed in
the old first ward school building Mr.
Solomon announce~ that it recently
added new grinder to it's equipment,
to crush the fragments of shell COM
ing from the machines into chicken
grit. The plant is buying all the shell
offered it, being DESTROYS to accumu-
late supply that will keep it run
ming during the Writer time when ice
and cold weather make shell hunting
impossible.

capacity and have to depend upon
tank car service. With the Santa Fe
the production of oil could cease for
one year and we could still be running
trains because of our immense storage
The Santa Fe owns about 10 per cent
of the tank cars and besides we have
two large tank farms in the oil dis
trict."
One-Half OF Engines Use OIL.
Fox says he does not know the
exact number of engines on the sys-
tenn that are now burning oil but esti-
mates that more than half of them
are using that kind of fuel. OH is
used exclusively on all engines west of
Gallup, N. Mex, to California; and
between Amarillo, Tex, and Yelling
ton. and also between arkansas city
and Galveston, Tex. All passenger
engines operating between Kansas
City and Tulsa, Newton, Arkansas City
and Wellington, burn oil and so 90
the switch engines in Kansas City. All
of the passenger engines running thru
Topeka burn oil. Coal is used on all
trains between Chicago and Kansas
City, on freight trains from Kansas
City to Tulsa, Newton, Arkansas City
and wellington; and on all trains be-
tween Newton and Gallup, N. Mex,
including the Ell Paso line. No Mexi-
can oil is used by the Santa Fe:
s4Instead of the railroads hogging
the coal as has been charged many
times, the Santa Fe's police is just the
opposite" said Fox. zone of the rea-
sons we burn coal between Newton
and Gallup, New Mexico, is to take
up the surplus from the coal mines in
Colorado and New Mexico. These
mines could not operate all the time
if they had to depend on the domestic
and commercial demand, but we take
the surplus and keep the mines going.
In burning coal on. our freight trains
in Kansas we help accomplish the
same purpose for the mines of the
Pittsburg district"
Forty New OIL Burners.
Forty new freight engines which
the Santa Fe ordered sometime ago
and which are now being delivered
at the rate of about four or five day
are equipped for burning oil. Oil is
not only cheaper fuel than coal, but
better results can be obtained with it,
the increased efficiency being FROM
sixteen to twenty per cent. The same
order for engines included twenty
automatic coal stokers. With either
oil or coal stokers an even heat is
produced. Every time fireman
opens the door of the fire box to put
in a shovel of coal there results a
draft that carries away many heat
units before they are consumed.
Altho the railroads seem to be .1o-
ing their part. there is, however, a
shortage in the movement of coal for
general purposes due to the failure Of
consumers to lay in a supply during
the summer. Dealers are well sup
piled and have been all summer but a
shortage during the winter is fore
casted because of the failure of the
public to buy beforehand.

BURNING OIL NOW
Santa Fe Relieves Cause for
Coal Shortage Here.
More Than Half Engines
Equipped for Liquid Fuel.
STORAGE FOR TWELVE MONTHS
Railway Could Operate a Year
on Reserve Supply.
Should Be Plenty of Coal for All
Other Purposes.

The coal situation does not seem to
be worrying the railroads. A recent
suggestion from Washington that the
railroads come to the assistance of the
coal mining industry, which is under
going a period of serious depression,
by laying in reserve supplies, brought
replies from the carriers showing that
they are not only we'll supplied with
them said it would be impossible to
buy more just at present on account of
shortage of funds.
The Santa F'e. which was one of the
roads that received the suggestion, not
only has on hand what is considered a
sufficient supply of coal, but it is turn
ing rapidly to oil for fuel, and can use
more of it on short notice. According
to Fred c.. Fox, general manager of
the company's eastern lines, the Santa
Fe has on hand enough coal to last
twenty days, having thirty thousand
tons in storage in Kansas. Fox says
it is an average reserve and will not
be increased.
Years Supply of Oil.
The Santa Fe probably has the
greatest reserve supply of fuel oil of
any of the railroads, having in its
storage tanks an entire years supply
for all engines using that kind of
fuel. 1t has more than one million
barrels in storage at one place.
"a surveX which the Santa Fe has
made would indicate that Kansas
should have plenty of coal for both
domestic and commercial purposes"
said Fox. today, because the rail-
roads and many other corporations
have turned to oil for fuel. A serious
situation could develop within a short
time, however. because very few of
these corporations have any storage
