STATE FAIR WEEK KxhlhltH lining Htircil Morn of Them Thau titer Itcfiirc An Idea of the mngnltude of the etntc fnlr, which Is to be held nt Lin coln.

OILING ROADBED The t'nlon l'acllle Unit Settled tlio Hunt on Hi Kuinin-Coloruilo Truck The Union Pacific Is oiling Its road bed and soon will have the work done tho entire length of the Kansas-Colo rado division. Tho oil prevents tho rise of dust. It comes from California. "We are very well satisfied with tho experiment with the oil," said Super intendent Duel. "Wo arc spreading It from n tank and It Is working perfect ly. Over the districts thus fur covered there Is absolutely no dust. We will haw to spread tho oil once a year. This Is because sufficient oil will have to soak Into the ground to go below the depth necessary to put In ties. It takes the oil. and considerable of it, to have this effect. Hy preventing dust the oil saves our machinery and care, and I believe is of nn Immense uuiount of benefit to every railroad.
