Petroleum lubricants and greases

anticipated his discovery and had aU

Undaunted. Everest continued to
treat the residue in an attempt to -
develop a suitable substitute tor the
tallow and animal fat, used for :
cylinder lubrication. His experiments ?

PORTLAND. Ore, Jan. 9 (Special)
Notwithstanding business coed:-
tions of the past year, the annual '
flew of wealth from Oreron's tourist !
traffic continued to pour into the i
state. Figures compiled by the ad
vertislz and promotion department-
of the Portland chamber indicate
that auto tourists nstmg Oregon. '
in 1931 spent between S30.0CO.O00
and t25.0CO.000 in the state. - This is
lite gold from a mine new wealth
to Oregon brought from outside
sources, it is pointed out- by mem
bers of the advertising and promo
tion, committee and by directors of
On-to-OregoD, Inc.
For the firsi 11 months of 1931.
tctal of 90.839 cars were registered as
rotors in Oreeoa. an. increase of
619 cars over the corresponding pe
riod of 1930. It is estimated that
not more than 0 per cent of the
Tisuisg cars actually rectster. This
being true, the total Tisiung for the
first 11 months of the year was 139.
705 cars. These machines brought
in an average of three persocs per
car. a total ot 419.115.
Estimating an expenditure of 87
a cay per person and a stop of sev
en days, the total money spent by
these auto tourist visitors was S23.
721 ,635 for the 1 1 months. This
does ncs include the 66.000 persons
brought into Portland annually by
stge lines, nor the big ToJume of
tcunst trsific that comes by rail.
Incidentally, a surrey conducted
ty the advertising and promotion
department of the Portland chamber
last fail would indicate the average
tsiT-e spent by visitors as consider
ably mere than seren days. Of 2000
persons addressed by questionnaire.
147 responded that they had visited
the stite stnee receiving chamber
literature sent them as follow-up
material to On-to-Oregon s advertis
ing in caUonal publications. These
147 represented 493 persons, aa vir
tually " every inquirer visited the
state in company with from one to
fire companions. Their answers also
showed an average stay of 105 days.
The Seattle chamber went further
in a similar questionnaire, asking
persons to give the amount they
spent. Those answering this spase
snowed an average of 810.75 a day.
The spent in that region was
aUghtly under that passed in Ore

Those who have worked on the
proeram during this past year feel
that the advertising and promotion

groundwork for bringing thousands
here in 1933 who otherwise might

He has been asked by the national
