GASBOATS WILL
MIX KEROSENE
WITH GASOLINE
With engine distillate certain to
j pass out of existence as gasboat fuel
; early this season, according to an
’ nounced intention of the Standard Oil
Company, officials of the Standard Gas
Engine Company have just made pub
| lie the result of experiments with a
mixture of kerosene and gasoline as a
substitute for distillate.
It is said that power equal to that
of distillate is given by a “50-50” mix
ture of gasoline and kerosene. Use
of this substitute will not force gas
boat owners to use the higher priced
gasoline only.
Details of the experiment are con
tained in a letter received here by
the Blutn-O’Neill Company, agent of
the Standard Gas Engine ompany.
The letter reads as follows:
“You are doubtless aware of the
fact that the Standard Oil Company
has recently taken distillate off the
market. This move will of course be
followed by the other oil companies.
“To date there is little or no pros
pect of them ever putting this fuel
on the market again. To overcome
this drawback, in the lack of a cheap
and suitable fuel for our engines, we
have recently made experiments with
mixtures of gasoline and kerosene,
with excellent results. In fact, the
I power obtained is slightly in excess
of that we would ordinarily get with
straight distillate.
! “For the purpose of our test we
used a mixture of 50 per cent gaso
line and 50 per cent kerosene. The
specific gravity of the gasoline was
53 degrees baume; resulting in a mix
ture with specific gravity of 46 de
grees. This is two degrees more than
distillate, which ordinarily is 44. A
50 h. p. triple cylinder engine was
used, and we obtained 62 4-10 horse
power at 312 revolutions per minute.
“Using a mixture of one-third gaso
line and two-thirds kerosene; we re
ceived only fair result, the maximum
horse-power being 55 5-10 horse-power
and the minimum 51 2-10 horse-power.
The engine does not run steadily, how
ever, and we do not believe that this
mixture would serve our purpose.
“We suggest that you try out the
50-50 mixture as soon as possible in
various types of boats and let us hear
from you regarding the success of your
| efforts.’’

SHIPPERS AND
PUBLIC SHOULD
GET TOGETHER
“Co-operation between the shippers ,
of Alaska and the steamship compa- ■
nies, to work together instead of pull
ing apart, and efforts directed against
the government to get it to take its :
strangle hold from the Northland, are l
needed to stop the falling off of popu
lation and to make the territory go
ahead,” declared C. S. Butler, travel
ing auditor of the Pacific Steamship
Company, who is checking up the lo
cal offices in the territory.
“Those Alaskans,” he continued, j
“who croticise the pioneer steamship f
companies should acquaint themselves'
with the facts. Freight and passen- ?
ger rates today between San Fran- ,
cisco and Seattle are higher than they :
are between Seattle and Alaska points, ;
where the distance is less, in some in
stances, where the dangers are not
so great, and where there is a bigger
volume of business both ways. Our
company has not made any money in
the Alaska business for several years,
excepting for 'one season. Prices for
fuel oil, and for longshoring and labor,
have more than doubled, the advances
being more than that of the rates.
%
“However, the steamship companies
are expected to maintain their service
whether business offers or not. In
stead of appointing a territorial ship
ping board at the expense of the terri
tory to endeavor to get competing
lines, the same money expended in co
operating with the pioneer lines al
ready in business and bringing about
closer relations between the shippers
and the steamship companies would
prove of some practical benefit to the
people. The margin of profit on busi
ness handled by the steamship compa
nies will stand comparison with the
margin of profit of any business houses
in or out of Seattle. But it seems the
popular thing to do to make the steam
ship companies the ‘goat/ .
“Co-operation should be extended to
the point that actual facts could be
gotten before congress and the people
of what is the matter with Alaska,
why its great resources are kept tied
up, why it is not gaining in popula
tion, with a view of getting govern
mental red tape and interlocking fed
eral authority restrictions removed,
and then with the territory going
ahead as it should develop, every one
would become so prosperous that they
would forget to criticise.”
