LOW RATES ON FUEL OIL MADE BY ESFEE For the purpose of stimulating manu facturing by providing cheaper' fuel, the southern Pacule company yesterday an pounced a liberal reduction on fuel oil from Portland to points along Its lines. The oil is shipped to Portland by, steam er from th storage tanks on the lower river. . ..,, - General Freight Agent H. E. Louns 'bury announced the new rates yester day to become effective at once, and so sweeping are the reductions hat it is said the . charge will barely cover the handling of the freight A gain Is seen, however, In the ultimate traffic that will result from the development of Industries that depend upon ineX' pensive fuel. It-is pointed out that loggers will profit materially by the reduction, as fuel oil is becoming used ' !n preference to -wood en logging rail roads and in logging camps, the oil eliminating the great fire risk of wood or coal. , , The following list shows the old and new rates per 100 . pounds to points south of Portland: Salem, 8 to 7c; Albany, 10 to 7c; Harrisburg, 15 to 10c; Eugene, 15 to 10c; Coshen, 17 to 13c; Cottage Grove, 17 to 15c; Con stock. 1 to )6c: Oakland, 25 to 21c; Roseburg, 25 to 21c; Riddle, SO to 24c; - Lebanon, 10 to 7ttc; Springfield, 15 to 13c; Wendllng, 17 to 15c; Natron, IS to 14c; Carlton, S to 7Ho;-Corvallis, 10 - to 7e; Sheridan, 10 to 7c; - Alrlle. 18 to 7e As a barrel of fuel oil weighs ap proximately 142 pounds. It will be seen that the reduction to many points will mean quite an Item, and it Is figured out that It will bring the cost of fuel down to "nearly SO cents per barrel In some Instances, a big saving where large quantities are used.
