A GREAT RESULT
IN LOGAN COUNTY,
The result In U*an county ha* |
be«n a republican victory. The large
republican vote In this county la due
to the perfirt organization of the
county. It In due to the able men on j
the republican ticket, it la <lu* to Just-
ness of the Htat* Capital in giving
the people the facta In the case ail the
time
The management of this county cam-
paign by Cnalrm&n * -lnehart and Hec-
retary Capers 1ju h been the beat that
Oklahoma ha« known. Too much
credit cannot be given to these gentle-
men for their able* and careful <ondy«t
of the republican fight.
• The strength * f the ticket was im-
perii. The men o« it were all tried
and proven men . Tti*ra wan no weak
place In the republican ticket. The
iSHUes were clear and the people for
the most part appreciated the point
of view. The State Capital gave to
the people the facts In the campaign.
The issues and the facta and the man-
agement and the personality of the
republican candidate* all combined to
make the ticket Invincible.
The reault was that I gan county
tias steppHtf to her rightful place ua
the banner republican county In all
Oklahoma. The victory In a .great one.
The result of u will be to igrengthen
the republican pnrty all over Okla-
homa. It will be an ohjtec-t 1 canon
to the people of Oklahoma that a vig-
orous and honcftt campaign Is always
the greatest factor In milking success
at the polls. j
In the general outcome of the elec-
tion in I ftan county the State Capital
takes a personal pride.
There have been elements of -the
campaign .aat resulted In the defeat
of Adler and Dobson that were pecu-
liarly the State Capital's Issues.
The facts In the case were presented
to the people and argued by the State
Capital. They were presented and ar*
gued In the spirit of faCrness and the
Interest of goou government that has
ever characterized the position of the
State Capital on public questions.
That the people saw ttie point nnd ap-
preciated It—that they are resolved to
have good men in office and vote to
that end has been shown In the resuTt.
The people are to be congratulated.
They have done a wise thing.
They will not regret their change
from the democratic Incumbents to the
republicans they have electod.
OIL AS FUEL
AND ITS USE
On many of tne large freight engines
now In use on some of the principal
railroads the physical endurance of the
fireman has been about reached. There
has born an Increase In the average
heating service of the locomotives from
2,000 square feet In 18®0 to nearly 3,000
suare feet at the present time, aud au
Increase in the average steam pressure
from 1.0 pounds to L'lw pounds p*>r
square Inch In the same period. The
average weight of the locomotive at the
close of the civil war was approximate-
ly 90,000 pounds. This has increased to
a maximum of 250,000 pounds at the
present time. The Illinois Central, for
Its low grade and long haul to the
(Julf, hns constructed locomotives ca-
pable of hauling L'.OOO tons of revenue
traffic. Even this figure has been sur-
passed by locomotives recently con-
structed for the New York Central aud
the Pennsylvania.
With this Immense increase In the
power and efficiency of locomotives the
limit of physical endurance of the
railroad firemen has been fully reached,
aud In all future improvements along
the same line this question of the hu-
man factor must be takeu into con-
sideration. The most obvious solu-
tion of the problem would seem to be
the introduction of oil as a fuel for
steatn. Experiments hsve shown that
oil Is In many ways an ideal locomotive
fuel. For a number of years both the
Atchison and the Southern l'a« ific
have used oil on their locomotives in
that portion of Southern California
lying west of the Sati Bernardino ani
south of the Tehachapi mountains the
supply of oil not warranting the man-
agements in extending the use of the
new fuel over other portions of their
system. The years during which oil
was used on these sections however,
gave the companies au excellent o|>-
portunity to te«t its merits as a mo-
tive power . The result of these exper*
moved ths ne<«seity of supplying two ne« <%aai7 and build school house*, big
