i With tea oil-burning locomotives on Its
film between Chadron and Lander.; Wye.,
i dally hauling might trains. the ut of
i erode all In place of coal Is no longer an
j experiment with the Northwestern road.
'The oil-burning locomotives have been
j thoroughly tested out and they are prov
ing to satisfactory that inside of ninety
days every locomotive on the joining
.division and every locomotive on the
Black Hills division will be equipped
; with an oil owner.
Th oil which the Northwi-3'.ern is us
ing eome from the recently due, oped
I fields around Casper, end a test of It
!for fuel purposes shows that It has no
equal A test shows that MO gallons of
.this oil contains as many- heat units as
I the bast grade of soft coat. w hil the cost
i of tha oil Is but little sncre than 90 per
'cent of coal.
j Already storage tanks of t.OOS gallons
' capacity each have been erected at
I per. Lander, tang Pin arid' Chadron.
'and plans are now in course of prepara
I tion tor pla-lng others at different points
'along both the Wyoming and Black Hills
i lines. ' : v '
j rr Is (! Eiiisra.
I tt Is an easy matter to convert the
j coal-burning locomotives' Into o'.l-burners
land the cost Is nominal. The space la
tha old-fashioned tender designed for the
I storage of coal Is simply filled by a tank.
I Into, this tank, which coolants 3.0M gal
lons of oil. and which formerly, was used
for the storage of thirty tans of coal.
! the oil Is placed.' Prom this tank pipes
convey the oil te tha firebox, where tt
is sprayed over a great burner. . built
something on the plan of the burner of
a gaaolln stove. This produces an In
tense heat, enabling the fireman to get
up steam In' about 'half the time required
when burning coal, " .
Another thing thatgives oil a big ad
vantage over coal Is Its cleanlfnese. With
even the best coal, the' engine flues be
come clogged and often the .locomotive
has ta be sent to the shops to be cleaned.
With oil as a fuel,' lit soot, or dirt aorta
aulatas la the flues, all the fireman has
to do Is to toss a handful of sand Into
tha fire box, over the old, burner. An In
stant later, It pasea through the flues,
cleaning them out end scouring them as
it cleaned by sandpaper. ' "
With an oild burning locomotive, the
fireman has Job thst la practically a
sinecure. Instead of shoveling ton after
ton of coal, he simply. sits up on his seat
and manipulates a valve, which Increases
or diminishes the supply of oil running
ovr the burner.
engines may thus be run for a longer
distance than when coal Is used.

Interesting report -JWer made, and ths
old officers were re-elected for another
year as follows: John F. Flack, presi
dent; R. A. McEaohron. vies president;
E. N. Bovetl, secretary; J. A. Sunderland,
treasurer. J. A. Sunderland was elected
director for; s term -of' three year to
succeed himself. .. . .
President Flack's report covered th
year's business In general and touched os
his Mstern trip recently In th financial
centers of tha United States. Th gen
eral prospects, he said, were that money
would be easy while promoters would be
slow In utllilng It, owing to the general
commercial and political' situation; that
money Is. drawing. better rates than for
merly, and only the most conservative
Investments ' ere given encouragement;
that the financial condition of tha state
for th next year looks mora promising
from every standpoint; that ths demsnd
for loans Is opening up briskly, but only
the most conservative can be takea care
of. ' '

Parrish Gets Note
from the Governor
Manager Parrish of tha publicity
bureau of the Commercial club wrote
to Governor Aldrlch, asking him why
the pure seed law passed by the legis
lature was not enforced. In replying.
Governor Aldrlch neglected to anawer the
question, but he hsd th following to
sty:
i "The publicity bureaus of th cem
meretal clubs can do a good work by
letting it be 'known through tha press
that before any seed corn is purchased
of seed companies, th same should be
extensively asmpled by th purchaser
before buying any corn.'
' am having conferences .with Prof
Pugaley and Mr. Hansen, state food in
spector, snd everything will be don
within our power to officially take the
matter up, but If you think th farmer
Is not'allv to the situation, then you
are greatly mistaken.
"An investigation would disctos thst
there are but few farmers who plant
seed without In the first plaoa making a
general and thorough test."
