LARGER FACILITIES GIVEN Whh Arrival of r Locomotives This Summer Service Capacity Will Be Increased Passenger Engines to Born OIL Coal mined In the lignite fields near Tono. Wash, will be burned on nearly all freight engines on the O.-W. R. Jb N. and Southern Paclflo lines In the fu ture, the use of oil as fuel being; con fined almost entirely to the passenger locomotives. Arrangements for this change were made yesterday, when D. O. Clark, vice, president and general manager of the Union PaclBc Coal Company, conferred with J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and general manager of the Harrlman lines radiating out of Portland. To provide for the most practicable and most economical use of coal on the local lines, 50 new locomotives have been ordered and will be placed In com mission during the coming Summer. Twenty of these-englnes will be used on the first division of the O.-w. K. st is. Company. Including the main line and branches: 29 will be used on the sec ond division, between Portland and aula, and 10 will be used on the South ern Pad lie lines in Oregon. Engines Are Powerful. The new engines are of the Mikado type and designed especially to burn the Tono coal. They are powerful ma chines and are calculated greatly to In crease the efficiency sf thf freight service on all the lines using them. This type of engine haa two wheels on the front track under the pilot, eight drive wheels and two trailers. The Union Pacific Coal Company has been ODerallng the Tono mines for the past few years In a small way, most of the croduct being consumed in .port land and in towns between this city and Puget Sound. It can be mined at very little cost, the railroads In Port land paying shout 13 per ton for It. With the Installation of these engines the demand will Increase and the out put of the mines will have to be in creased In proportion. Mr. Clark has lust completed sn In spection of the properties and arranged while there for the Immediate begin nlng of operations on s larger scale. Soveral years ago the local Harrl man lines tried to burn Tono coal li some of their old locomotives, but the movement was unsuccessful for the reason that the ashes scattered along: the track In such profusion that grass and timber on adjacent property were set on Ore. Problem Is Solved. Continued use of oil was then recom mended and experts went to work on the preparation of a firebox that would burn lignite coal without throwing ashes in dangerous quantities. The Mikado locomotive was developed to this use and as soon as Its adaptability had been tested, the Harrlman Inter ests In Portland ordered 60 of them. The manufacturers were given the order last Fall and the new engines now are starting to arrive. Oil burners will continue to be ased by all passenger trains on both the O.-W. R. X. and Southern Pacific lines. Soma freight engines also will burn oil. Determination of the railroad to burn Tono coal has resulted in greatly In creased activity In that vicinity. Mr. Clark ts accompanied on his pres ent visit to Portland by Frank A. Manley. assistant general manager. They are traveling In a Union Pacific private car and will leave today for San Francisco. GOURT ASKED TO GUIDE ST. jonxs OFFICIALS rxoEit- TA1X OX ANNEXATION. Mayor and Recorder, Though Named as Pefendants In Suit, Want Court to Point Way. K. C. Couch and F. Rice. Mayor and r.ecorder, respectively, of St. Johns, filed an answer In the Circuit Court yesterday to the suit brought by sev eral persons to prevent the annexation of St. Johns to Portland, in accordance with ths election held last November. Couch and Klce. although appearing as defendants, ask the court in their answer filed yesterday to direct them regarding their duty and to Inform them whether they are to turn over to the City of Portland the records of St. Johns. R. W. McKeon and the other plaint iffs sttsck the validity of the ejection on technical grounds, among which ts ths right of city officials of Portland to authorize annexation without a vote of the people of Portland. They also declare that people living outside of St. Johns were permitted to vote on the question, although not Included In the territory to be annexed or In the City of Portland. It Is contended in the complaint that the majority of the vot ers of St. Johns are opposed to annexation. Courthouse Notes. To restrain Conrad Helser from erecting a scavenger's barn on Eliza street.

It Is too strong for the hair, and eats the very life out of """The only safe, reliable shampoo I know of Is perhaps the least expensive. It is made by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox In a cup of hot water. No other shampoo lathers so well, cleanses so thoroughly, or will remove dirt and dandruff as satisfactorily.
