Oil Takes The FIrco of Coal,
A report has been forwarded to
13. H. Harriman about the progress
ot converting Southern Pacific
ocomotives weBt of El Paso and
Odgen into oil burners. Out of 790
ocomotives on the lines mentioned
35 now use oil for fuel. Seventy-
five of them are north of Bakers
Geld, ten between Yuma and Kl
Paso and the remainder between
Bakcrsfield, Los Angeles and Yuma
Between Yuma and El Paso loco
motives are being changed to oil
burners at the rate of two a week.
Steel tanks are being erected at
various stations, so as to have, on
hand always a supply of oil for" the
ocomotives. At Oakland a tank
thirty feet high and ninety feet in
diameter will shortly be built. It
will have a capacity of 1,260,000
gallons. The present Oakland tank
only holds 50,000 gallons. At Fresnp
uuancn ana ivicnaoia arc small
tanks. Bakcrsfield has four 50,-
000-gallon reservoirs. In the Kern
oil fields the company has two steel
reservoirs, each thirty feet high and
ninety feet in diameter. In Los

And that means SHERWIN & WILLIAMS'
PAINT. We have been handling this make for

it's cheapest in the end. It sticks and holds its
color longer than other paint.

A recent ruling of the land de

NBllRASKA'S SUNSHINE SERMON.
Rev. Douglas of the Congrega
tional church oi Albion as initia
tion fees delivered the first Sun
shine sermon preached in Nebraska
Sunday. The choir of the church
rendered Sunshine music, the
Junior members decorated the
church for the occasion, and several
members t owning i typewriters
copied the sermon, so that those
unable to attend could enjoy read
ing it. Several oilier ministers in
the state will follow R;v. Douglas'
example, There is not a church
but ought to havn a Sunshine
Branch, for the organization was
calculated to bo helpful to all de
nominations. If the Methodists
have a branch the work makes
them better. If Episcopate join
they will find their church dearer
than ever. If Baptihls become Sun
shiners they find thumxclves more
cnthuHlaBiastlc Baptists than ever
If Presbyterians fall into line their
church will be all the stronger.
