1 have recently been over the road
j down as far as Dunsmuir, arrang
j ing for the placing of oil tanks at
1 places along the line to supply the
I system with fuel oil. Sites have
been selected for tanks at Duns
muir, Edge wood, Hornbrook and
Ashland, the latter point fot a time
the northern terminus of the oil
burning division. The tanks at
Dunsmuir and Ashland are to be
of the largest class on the division,
with a capacity of 55,000 barrels.
The tank at Ashland will stand 33
feet high, and will be 115 feet in
diameter. It will contain enough
oil to represent one year's supply
of fuel as compared to the present
needs of the motive power at this
place. Superintendent Fields stated
it was expected to have the tanks
completed for use by April 1. Work
will begin at once.

Alfalfa is more easily harvested
and cured than the other members
of the clover family and is just as
nutritious for live stock either for
grazing or as hay. Alsike is
thought to yield a little more
pasturage, although it yields m,uch
less tonnage of bay, and alsike is
not a prone to bloat as the others,
but alfalfa is the most popular
among those acquainted with the
habits of the three clovers.
