FACTORY TO BE VISITED CHAMBER INDUSTRIES BUREAU IN SPECTS RUBBER PLANT TODAY. Manager of Lambert Mnrtiplna Com pany Says Coast Noit Has Open ing to Seize Business. One of the germs of what Is exnecteri to make Portland the cento?- nf tv, United States In the rubber mnniifm-. turing Industry will be inspected today by the industries and manufactures bureau of the Chamber when its offi cials ana members go out after lunch eon to look over the new tire and belt plant or the Lambert Multlplus Com pany at brand avenue and Hoyt street. "The embargo placed on rubber through the Canal, owing to war con ditions," says Georg. K. Rogers, man ager of the plant, "places ttie Pacific Coast in a position to seize dominance in the rubber manufacturing Industry and to establish itself firmly before the war closes. At the present time raw rubber can be delivered on the Pacific Coast more cheaply than at any other part or the country. Sulphur comes from Japan, and thus we find all our raw materials situated so that they can be brought to Portland and Coast cities more easily and cheaply than to any other place. "The climate here Is particularly suited to the successful working of rubber, and there is everything in fa vor of a wide development of all the rubber manufacturing Industries In Portland." This plant Is the second Important rubber manufacturing concern to come to Portland. It has been manufactur ing for the market only about a year and a half and already has sales branches In Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake, Detroit, Milwaukee and other cities. Mr. Rogers - Is soon to go East to es tablish other agencies. COMMISSION IS RECEIVED J. M. Stewart, of Forester's Office, tn Reserve Corps. J. M.

CHANGE IN LAW HELPS Oregon "Will Not Require Special Refining After This Month. Two Bis Companies Look for Cheaper Fuel. At least one of the recognized neces saries of modern-day life gasoline la more likely to go down than up in price, according to opinions expressed Informally yesterday by local officials of two big gasoline-dispensing com panies. Reports to the effect that gasoline was to be increased in Dries today were denied flatly. Dispatches from the East last week reported increased quotations on crude oil. and accom panying increases in gasoline prices were forecast at that time, but the Portland representatives of the big oil companies point to the fact that the gasoline distributed in the Pacific Coast territory comes from the oil fields of California and that prices here are not affected by the crude oil situ ation in the East. For some time motorists have been nervously expecting an increase In gasoline prices," said the manager of one of the oil companies last night. This may be traceable to the suspi cion which seems to prevail as to price increases generally. "Personally, I am optlmlstlo over the situation, and am almost willing to place a wager that the price will go down before it goes up. Between the months of August and December of last year the price of gasoline at re tail remained stationary at 20H cents, and the retail price of 21 cents has not been Increased since early in De cember. The price of crude oil on the Paclflo Coast has not changed since November, and I hardly look for any change soon." On cross-examination, the oil com pany official admitted that his "hunch" as to a decrease of prloe depended in a measure on the new law passed by the recent Oregon Legislature re moving the specifio gravity require ment which has heretofore compelled the refiners to put the gasoline in tended for use in Oregon through special process. Oil company officials have contended for some time that the Oregon law forced them to charge 1 cent a gallon more for Oregon gasoline than would be necessary If It were not for the special requirement, which, they con tended, did not improve upon the qual ity of gasoline. When the new law goes Into effect next month a revi sion of the price schedule is to be expected. $1,000,000 IS SUBSCRIBED Portland Banks Ofrer to Take Treas ury Certificates.
