OFFICES ARE RETAINED LAND OFFICK IIECEIVERS WIX SEW LEASE OF LIFE. Asray Offices, Which House Also Planned to Abolish, Saved by Senators From West. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash lnpton. Aug. 28. Two economies pro posed by the House of Representatives at the expense of the West were over turned In the closing days ot tne ses slon. when the Senate forced the adop tion of its amendments retaining the position of Receiver of local land of flees and continuing in operation the various assay offices in the V est. Neither the land office Receivers nor the employes of assay offices will be turned out during the present nscal year, as the legislative appropriation bill authorized their continuance to June 30. 1913. Early in the session the House of Representatives started In to conson date the positions of Register and Re celver of local land offices, taking up the suggestion of the Commissioner of the General Land Office that the con solidation would not only be an econ omy. but operate to the benefit of the service. The House, In the origlna bill did cut off the appropriations for Receivers, and directed the consolida tion. Western Senators got busy and struck out the House provision, re storing the old appropriation for both offices, and when the bill was finally threshed out in conference, the Re ceivers were retained. The Fame thing happened with the assay offices. The Treasury Depart ent had recommended that all tre Western assay offices be abolished and that an assay office opened at San Francisco, to take the place of the present mint, which It was Intended should close. The House voted to close the assay offices and left only two in the country, that at San Fran Cisco and another at New York. Again the Western Senators suc ceeded in striking out the House pro vision and restored the appropriation for all the assay offices. vhen the bill went to conference the House made a stubborn fight, but the Senate re fused to back down, and the assay offices were saved.

THE day has long since passed when the economy and the advantages of the motor truck were in doubt. The increasing number of trucks in every section of the country is the best indication of their utility, use fulness and value to any business. During the last five years such remarkable progress has been made by the commercial car that it has become a necessary fixture in practically every line of business in the world. In 1908 this country bought 2,500 trucks; 3,288 were bought m 1909; 4,120 were bought in 1910: 14,540 were bought m 1911, and 30,000 were bought in 1912. Rather a remarkable gain you might think. But every business that is operating one or more trucks is just that much in advance, just that much more effici ent than their competitor who is relying on the old gray mare. The only question that confronts the business world to day is : "Which truck and why ?" The Gramm Truck offers the progressive merchants and manufacturers of America a service that has behind it a long and well trained experience. It is the most complete in the world. The Gramm Truck has been in use for over ten years. Thousands have helped to develop some of the largest com mercial institutions in the world. It is built in an exclusive truck plant in Lima, Ohio, which is the largest individual truck plant in the industry. It is made by the truck specialists. Not by pleasure car builders, who, seeing the immense possibilities of the motor truck, have suddenly converted a corner of their paint shop into a "truck" department. It is absolutely impossible and impractical for a pleasure car maker to try and make a motor truck in the same plant. . It requires expert and experienced truck specialists special mechanical equipment trained truck engineers special steels and special tools, and above all a thorough knowledge of trucks and their requirements under all conditions, which can only come from a long and varied truck experience. This the average car producer has not got. You cannot afford to gamble with his inexperience. The Gramm Truck guarantees you dependable every; day service, without constant and costly repairs. You can bank on a fleet of Gramm Trucks as you can on your battery, of billing machines. You are not forever and continually, "tinkering" with them. There are Gramm service stations all over the country, made possible by our immense organization and thoroughly national distribution. You are never "up against it" for a part. You can always get it quick. .... Gramm information, as to the size, style, kind and number of trucks your business will require is alone of great value to your business. We have studied for years, the most economical methods of hauling all lines of merchandise. We have the facts concerning your business. We can save you money, put your delivery system on a better basis, and give your business a prestige that will figure, in years to come, in your asset column. A horse and wagon is aliability. A Gramm motor truck is a valuable asset. ' No matter how small or large your business, if you haul merchandise we bear immediate investigation. A catalogue and all preliminary information to you on request, either from our local dealer or from us direct.
