GAS WAR AT END; PRICES GO; SKYWARD (Continued from Pago Ono) bought in Union county yesterday, in-splto of a heavy demand for such containers. ... - Farmers throughout the valley pur chased thousands of gallons, to be used ;not only in their cars but dur- Ing harvesting operations. Old Prices Return But today is a different story. With the Standard and Shell OH companies announcing a return to wholesale quotations existing' before the coaBt war began, prices skyrocketed to 25 cents this morning, although some of tho wholesale companies, including .Texaco, were stiu selling at prices 1 1.1 i. i . . V.. ipeuiiivniiK ll-uuilL gua ut 1U OCIOCK this morning. Indications were that all of the companies would return to normal prices with weekend motor ists scheduled to pay the "old" price for gasoline unless they had previous ly secured ample supply for the Sun day excursions. In La Grande, the gasoline war has been generally beneficial, with whole sale prices maintained so that the service stations have made good prof its, particularly considering the high volume of business, and with con sumers enjoying the cheapest fuel in history. Locally, the "war" has been conducted almost entirely by tho wholesalers, with the retailers and consumers benefiting. The comedy angle In the purchase yesterday was furnished by one man who filled an old sprinkler wagon with 12-cent gasoline he couldn't find anylng else that would hold as much. SHKLL, STANDARD KND "WAR" SAN" FRANCISCO, July 12 (P With tho Standard and Shell Oil companies announcing a return to wholesale quotations existing before the Pacific coast dealers began slashing prices, the way wus left open today for an end to the gasoline war. Standard's announcement, made last night, said wholesale prices which prevailed June 12 would be restored this morning, that they would see to follow suit. Charles Jacobs, secretary of the Re tall Service Station Dealers associa tion of San Francisco, saw in the announcement the "end of the war." "It Won't He Long" "It will take some time for the loose ends to be gathered up." Jacobs l (said, "and there may be some dealers I who will hold out for a few days, but If they can't get gasoline to sell at , cut prices they can t sell gasoline at . .cue prices. j Joseph Devencenzt. president of the i dealers association in Los Angeles, i rrjees yeaieraay rangea irora a to 12 cents in Seattle, to 9l2 cents in Portland. 9 to 12',i cents in Los Angeles, 7 to 14 cents In San Fran- Cisco. 8 to 9 cents In Sacramento and Fresno, 5"2 to 1 cents in Tacoma. with similar fluctuations in other ,racmc coast, ciues.
