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.
