TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1926. HWEST FINE Indicating that fall trade In the (arming districts of the Pacific NorUweat will be unusually brisk. crop conditions throughout the ter ritory are excellent and it is exr pected that tliere will be the best ' farm demand tor building product that has been experienced in sev eral years. . That is an outstanding statement in a report on general cveuwfcs conditions Just received In Hose burg from the research department of the Schumacher Wall Board Corporation of Seattle. "Advance orders tor products of luia corporation maicuu) me rail season will be marked by eva greater activity along building lines 1 than the early part of the year," the report says. : ''Sales of plaster wall board and plaster taut, a good uarmeler of buiiuuig onunious, nave gained eonslderably each month of load and we look for further increases before the close of the year," . Contrasting with the prosperity ' of the Northwest Is tbo situation la southern states and across the line fu Canada, Uie report adds. This is a period of great business activity and development through out Oregon, Washington and Idaho with industries operating at a rapid pace and an unusual amount of building going, it points out, while construction and manufacturing ac tivities across the border and in the soutb are at A low lull now. Ti Running tt capacity and turning out more than 1,200 cars a day, Hulcfc produced 29,102 cars in Sep tember and act a new ail time record for the month. The best previous September . was in 1925. when UMi cars were built. - This Is the second consecutive time since introducing it 1927 mo dels that Bulck has smished the best previous production record for the corresponding month. In Au gust, the first month in which the new models were on the nutrket. 211,866 mm were built, getting a new monthly production recdrd for all time and heating the best prev ious August figure by nearly 10, 000 cars. . , E. IV Strong, General Sales Manager, stated in giving out the details of the new records that there was no immediate prospect of curtailing Bulck production, due to Uie demand for the pew models. Reports from all over the country show that the cars are being de livered to owners as fast as the factory can turn them out . it reuulred 53 freight cars to handle the huge volume of Sep tember 30th. A few of the cars were driven from the factory un der their own power but exclusive El i Negotiations have been closed between Union Oil company of Cal ifornia and the Venezuelan Panto pec Petroleum company, which call for the development of ap proximately 940,000 acres of land in Venezuela on a fifty-fifty basis. the terms being that Union Oil company must spend three and a half million dollars In actual de velopment over a period not to ex ceed six years. If the conditions warrant It, howeyer, this program will be materlully speeded up. it is planned that a corporation will be formed (or the purpose of acquiring, developing and operat ing' the properties. This corporation will be under the management of the Union Oil company. Close co operation wiU be maintained be tween Pantepec and Union, es pecially in regard to the title, land and geological work. The pantepec Petroleum comp- of driveaways the day set a new record for freight movement from the plant. Shipments from the Bulck plant have been consistently heavy for several months because of the large volume of orders on hand for the new niodels- uny has maintained a very effi cient and well run organization lor uie acquisition Of IMUua in VeB' ezueia for the past four years and their iands have been taken only after careful and thorough geologi cal Investigation. For thia reason, they are not In large blocks, - a acreage goes in Venezuela, hut are very well scattered on tjie best known geology at the present time. In the Maracalbo Basin, where the Joint operations will coyer About zju.uuu acres, tne mocks run from 1000 to 29.000 acres. These lands are what is known as "Exploitation Parcels." None of this acreage is to be returned to the government. The large blocks in Silva, State of Falcon, the State of Guarico, and Anzoatugni and Monagas are Ex ploration Parcels, pf which one- half the acreage is to be returned to the government after the selec tions are made, in view of the (act that there are already twelve proven fields, only eight of which have pipe lines to the lake and are now produc ing about 100,004 barrels per day, located many miles apart and on practically four sides of Lake Mar acalbo, which covers an area of about 100 miles north and south by 70 miles east and west, and the production Is coming from three separate and distinct geolog ical horizons; and further, that the geology is extremely difficult to follow because of the lack of-rock exposures and the heavy growth of Jungle, it is cafe to say that there are many fields yet to be discov ered in the Maracalbo BaBln alone. The decision of -the Union Oil company to enter the Venezuelan fields was arrived at after an .ex tensive study bad been made, last- nseen. Sources f Long Life " ' ' The basic sources of automobile?" value art? not always apparent to the eye. A motor car, like a house, may LOOK a great deal more substantial than it really is. .

The years have proved, and each year proves anew, that Dodge Brothers are as deeply con cerned with the UNSEEN goodness of their motor .car as with the seen. , The mileage it will deliver, the safety 'it will . provide, the expense and trouble it will save the owner over a period of years, are quite1 as important to Dodge Brothers as the ..more, i ;Obvious details of equipment and style.
