Grondahl of the j Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, 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. Clothes makes the woman oftener than the woman makes the clothes.

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.
