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

E. IV Strong, General Sales
Manager, stated in giving out the
details of the new records that

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-

cient and well run organization

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-

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.
. ' Because of this difficulty, more and more thou
sands are turning to Dodge Brothers' product

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.

It is all steel, bolted and riveted,
and so rigid that squeaks, rattles
and distortions, are as unlikely as
in a steel building. Doors are so
hung that a man may hang on
an open door while the car is

without springing it out of true.
