FTISU n brief and not at all glorious oaroor, tho (t rants Pass and ttoirno I?ivir railroad, tho lino that died nbornin', has boon thrown into receiver's hands, whore the. lawyers will expose its skeleton and pick its bones. Its brief -existence points a moral and adorns a tale. A year or so ago the railroad was projected to bo built to the sea. The published announcement immediately brought a statement front the Southern Pacific that it also would build a line to Orescent City, followed by the organization of a company composed of Southern Pacific officials to construct the same. This bluff, so oliMn Qre gpn that it litis grown' bald-hoAcloAl, had the expected ef fect it effectually cut off capital and soared financiers from the independent project, while the Southern Pa cific's proposed child never even reached the conception stngo. , The Grants Pass & Koguo Kiver railroad promoters then switched their terminus from the sea to the Oregon caves, and thereby lost the antagonism of the ISspoe. They were no longer dangerous, merely promoting si needed feeder. Options were next taken for laud along the proposed route in Williams valley and a gorgeous colored panorama of the district traversed issued. Attention was called to tin's uegleeted region and homes for the multitude offered for sale. A stretch of brush land was secured across the river from Grants Pass and a rival townsite staked out lots being offered for sale on the instalment plan. People of Grants Pass cooperated with the railroad promoters lieartily. They subscribed a bonus of $1)5,000 or so for the new line and paid the first instalment. Grad ing was begun at Grants Pass and a temporary trestle birilt across the Kogue. The band turned out, speeches were made and the golden spike was driven Avith all the delightful fol.-de-Tol that graces such momentous occa sions. The boom was on. Grants Pass lots advanced in price ovei'niffht. Citizens beiran makinsr themsolves rich bvJ the simple process of marking up values. The infection spread. Some of Medford 's citizens who should have known better, took money badly needed at home, to Grants Pass (and left it there) to see if they also could not pull themselves over the prosperity fence by tugging at their boot straps. The boom lasted until the first instalment.of the bonus was exhausted. Citizens became suspicious and refused tb pay the second. Work ceased upon tje railroad. Realty values fluttered painfully awhile in the air, then vol planed back to earth, when it became known that efforts to fipance the railroad had failed. The sole monuments left of the nronosed railroad are the "one-spot," as the only locomotive was affectionately termed, a stretch of track and a wavering trestle which the Josephine county court has brought suit to have re moved as a public menace, and, the most enduring of all litigation. v' Yet the Ch P. & R. I?, railroad has served a useful pur pose. It awakened Grants Pass out of its lethargy, if only for a. brief period. It leaves a better town than "it found. It" brought in new money, new buildings audwhat the city ncedfed badly a good hotel. vIt taught the value of cooperation and showed citizens Vluft it could accomplish. If Grants Pass docs not profit by its experience it only has itself o -blamq. The samcAamount of moyoy and energy expended would secure for the city industries pro viding payrolls that mean more to the city than branch railroads or it will start railroads tluit others will finish. It was probably no fault of the promoters that the line was not built. It was well planned and, with its realty prospects, should have been a profitable investment, a modest little branch railroad nothing to justify extrava gant hopes or wild speculation, and absurd inflation, but a developer such as the Southern Pacific ought to be building all over Oregon. The times were evidently out of joint, nnpropitious for floating railroad or similar enterprises. Even the Hi 11 and JIarrirnan systems have, had difficulty in financing new lines during the past few years. But it was better to havctried and failed than never to have tried at all. tlpbliiK tho number if hentcta uod per nm b, tho wml of ItluuliiK one heater.

In order to find the iiuantlly of tdl bunted at the end of any period of time, take the distance front the point denot ing the time to the win! at which the ordinate, or vertical from thU point, cutR the curve. For lnntance. to find the ouantlty of oil burue'd at the end of two hour, we count the number of ttmien from the point marked "2 lir." to Hu- point above where the curve cut the vertical. In thin ease, remembering that each space ropremuitH X ounce, we find that the one gallon heater ut the end of hourx burned 0U ouncen of rue! oil If wu wish, to "know the rate at which oil Is consumed during any Interval of time, alt tlmt Is necesunry to rto will be to lake the difference In the total iptaiUJ.ly of ell burned nt each particular period of time. . lSir In stance, to find the rale of burufiig between the hour of l.OO and -1. SO we note flrM at l:3 that IS ouuqpa of oil had been coumnned; at 1. 00. 30 ounces had been burned. Thedlffereuue between theno two uuantltles Is 12 ounciw. and, therefore, wu note that In the SO minute Interval oil was being consumed at the rate of 2 ounce. f wo w'lah to Mud the average rale per minute during this Interval of time, divide 12 by S0r which glvty rt.tf or an ounce as thcburulng rate per minute. The rate may be found at any other point on the curve In the same way. In Figure II. l'Ute 1, tho supper curve represent th oultard hotter characteristic. This curve I represented on a different scale than th. one above In Figure I. l!owvor, tho burning rate nt any tlmo may lie read directly.

The etirv below tho orchurd heter characteristic Is the temperature characteristic anil it win ue noted tlmt tho two curves are very similar. The temper ature curve was obtained by taking the difference In teiulieratnre between the temperature Inside the heated area and that outside for each Interval of time, say every 15 minutes, from 3:00 a. in. to 15:30 a. in. It will be noted that at 3:00 a. in. the temperature Inside the orchard was fi degiue higher than that outside, while the orchard heater were burning fuel at the rate of "fc. ounce per Mich ten minute or time, or what I (he same thing, O.firf of ai ounce per minute. At U a. in. the difference In temperature between the orchard and the outside atmosphere was 1i degrees, while tho orchard beator was consuming oil at tho rate .of ounce per 10 liilniitis or time, or .0.1 of an ounce per minute. At 0:30 a. in. tho difference In temperature was about :4 deijrei. and, at this time, tho heater was burning Just a Irjflu moro than 214 ouiire of fuel oil la 10 lulnutoa, or 0.25 ouncos por niln'iilo.

(Continued from Yehlerday.) 2, It has been found that all fuel pots or the lard pall typo have practically tho aatne characteristic. This Is true of tho common lard pall, tho Holton, Troutman, and Hamilton Competition types. Tho burn ing rato varies very widely, being approximately one-half as rapid whon the oil Is nearly coiiBumod as when tho pots aro first lighted. Tho patent types which havo a row of IioIob near tho uppor rim show no particular advantage ovor tho common lard pall. In tho ono-gallon typo, tho soot arrostor Is a distinct disadvantage In that It tends to cut down tho burn ing aroa and oxtlngulsho tho flamo. Kvon In the two-gallon typo, Its valuo lu much ovor-ratod. Whatevor incroasod tlmo In burning there may bo, Is always obtained at the oxponso of heat units generated por unit of time. 3. Kosorvolr orchard bontors are practical when not too compli cated, in tho Hamilton boater Wo havo wo havo a really practical typo whhjili can bo easily roguluted, Tho Underwood Is entirely too compli cated and, besides, cannot bo regulated. Wo havo not used tho Rich ardson heater, but tho fact that tho flow of oil must bo regulated fry a cock Is ono thing which Is not In Its favor. All appliances which may bo oaslly clogged must bo avoided. Whilo wo have not used tho Klehard son beator In tho presont tests, wo did ho a year ago and found that propor rogulatlon Is not so easy as It would soom. Furthermore, It takos too mueji tlmo to adjust tho rate of oil flow, and this Is aa Important factor In orchard boating. 'Jlmo Is Important whon the temperature begins to drop. 1. Tho dlfferenco between the tomporaturo Inside the boated orchard and that outside does not remain constant throughout the period of heating. This Is duo to a docroaso In tho quantity of oil consumed us tho pots burn low, This can only bo avoided by having boaters In reserve, or by using reservoir hoators which may bo regulated In accord ance with tomporaturo conditions, 5. Undor our conditions, and with tho presont ptlco of fuel oil, It will cost approlmately ono cent por hour for each beator used, pro viding this beator doos not havo a top surface groator Mian 41 aquaro Inohos. The total cost por hoator per hour cannot bo accurately stated as tho cost of distributing tho oil will depend entirely upon tho mothodit of storing mid handling.
