The Pacific Highway garage, located at Twelfth and Main streets, will have headquarteds near (he Southern Pacific depot, the company handling the Ford cars, having purchased the land upon which is located (be build ing owned by the Portland Flouring milli, and operated as a supply sta tion with R. C. Ganong as manager. The deal was closed here this week. and part of lots three and four of blifck 24, is the land purchased. A deal is also on whereby the ad joining property, owned by the Fox heirs, consisting of four places of business, is to be in the sale, and will be closed within a few days, as the tennants have been ordered to vacate by July 1. Owing to the present con dition with scarcity of vacant business houses, this baa become a puzzling problem to the men, who are now forced to seek other location. Frank Hopp, who has been In the harness business In the corner building owned by the Fox Heirs, for the past two years, ha made a canvass of the city looking for a location, but so far ha been unsuccessful, and says if he is unable to find one, is contemplating to go to Canby. The C. C. restaurant adjoining, do ing a big business, will also be out of a building, and the owner will prob ably go elsewhere, unless he finds another building. The Taeroux music house will oc cupy the new building being erected on the opposite side ot the street. which will probably be ready July 1. This is to adjoin the building being erected for Price ljrothers. The Falls Transfer company, having occupied the building for the past six years, is also looking for another lo cation, but so far has been fruitless. "R, C. Ganong, who has been connect ed with the Portland Flouring mills for the past 33 years, and Who is local agent, has not yet decided upon his future plans, but It is hoped by his many friends here that he will con tinue his residence in Oregon City. He Is the brother ot Joseph Ganong, ot Portland, general manager of the Portland Flouring mills. Beldon (Buz?.y) Ganong, who has been bookkeeper and a salesman for the company for the" past 16 years. has had several flattering offers made him, but so tar has not decided as to (he future. John McGetchte, one of the old mill wrights, who has been connected with the company for over 35 years, will retain his residence at Gladstone. The land owned and occupied by the Portland Flouring mills has a front age of Seventh street, and at the rear extends to the Southern Pacific Rail road track, where grain and feed has been shipped to and from this city. PREVENTED SALEM, Ore., May II. The people of Oregon have no cause to fear that (heir industries will be crippled and their social , welfare menaced through the operation of the so-called 56-degree gravity gasoline law, naw in effect In this state, as long as Governor Olcott Is clothed with the power to grant pardons. This was made plain in a statement issued by the governor following a conference with State Treasurer Hoff and Attorney-General Brown this afternoon. , "The gasoline situation In Oregon has reached an acute crisis through which industrites are not only threat ened, but crippled, and there is an immeidate probability ot no more gas oline being shipped into the Ute,' said the governor's statement. "The use of gasoline has become so closely linked with every phase of modern life that any serious curtailment of its supply Is nothing short of a catas trophe. . - 'The alarming condition Which ex ists Is ?argely due to the law of the 1917 legislature which prohibits the sale of gasoline.of less than 56 degrees specific gravity. The constitution of the state, how ever, as a safeguard against situa tions just such as the present one or to remedy situations where a grave injustice may have been work, has extended to the executive office the power to remit fines and to grant pardons. In the light of such a con stitutonal provision I have no hesi tation in saying that the pefple ot the state should have .no cause to fear that their Industries will be crip pled and their social well-being men aced througn the operation of a law which has outgrown its usefulness and its place on the statute books. "Further., I see no reason why the officials of the oil companies should hesitate to go ahead and import into the state all of the gasoline neces sary to place our Industries and the op eration of cars back on a normal basis."
