St. Louis Exposition Officials Decide te Use Preduct ef New Oil Fields as Fuel, The world’s fair at St. Louisis to be energized without the aid of wood, coal or other smoking fuel. Texas oil from the recently discovered gushers near Beaumont has been adopted as the “of- ficial” fuel of the exposition. It will be piped into the grounds from a main tank situated well outside of the park and piped underground into the fur- nace rooms of the power houses. Besides a desire to exploit and pat- ronize one of the great products of the Louisiana purchase, the fair manage- ment says it has solved the problem of the smoke nuisance, Coal dust, ashes and the attendant difficulty of supply- ing solid fuels in great quantities have, they contend, been done away with so far as the fair is concerned. - The offic power plant of the fair is to be the largest and most potent in the world. Henry Rustin, the famous electrical engineer, has been chosen to manage the department, and celebra- ted Thanksgiving by opening the elec- tricatheatqnarters of the exposition, Instead of isolating the power plant in a remoté corner of the grounds it will be made the central exhibit of the ma- chinery department, and no expense will be spared to make it the most per- fect and sightly as well as the largest plant of its kind ever seen, Tt will have a capacity of over 15,000 kilowatts 000 horse power) and ‘will furnish en- ergy for the intramural railways, foun- tains, cascades, and machine power for every exhibir within the fair nds, Bids will be taken both for individual units of 1,000 kilowatts and for the en- tire plant.
