F o u r car loads of fuel oil are on the siding, w aiting to have the oil pum ped into the reservoir. It gets so chilled com ing over the m ountains from C alifornia th a t much delay is occasioned by reason of it m oving so slow ly thro u g h th e piping from the pum p at siding to the tan k in rear of cam pus. U nless a portable boiler is installed w ith w hich to attach to the coils in th e car end th u s heat th e oil by steam heat, we will have no little trouble all w inter to force the thick oil th ro u g h th e pipes and at the sam e tim e be at no little expense in paying th e d em urrage charges on cars. Steps, how ever, are being taken to install a boiler.
