GASOLINE SHORTAGE

Steadily Improving.

BIG SHIPMENTS ON WAY
rooms and other public places, de
creed the city council at its last ses
sion, when, after long debate, an un
breakable deadlock resulted in the
vote on a proposed ordinance abolish
ing cards, dice and chips.
A number of citizens declared that
gambling for high stakes had been
carried on in local poolrooms up to
three weeks ago when anti-gambling
agitation started. The police admit
that they are powerless in getting
evidence to convict.
The council proposed to amend the
existing ordinance, passed in 1915,
and patterened after the state gamb
ling law, by adding a penalty clause
revoking the p'ermit of any place in
which gambling is tolerated.
Solid Tralnload, 200,000 Gallons,
Comlns From Oklahoma; Other
Large Lots Expected.
The gasoline situation In OregoD
very decidedly is looking up. There
is still a shortage, but from all pres
ent indications said shortage is on
its way.
First, a solid trainload of 25 tank
cars bringing 200.000 gallons of gaso
line from Tuiisa. Okla., passed Los An
geles yesterday en route to Oregon.
This gasoline was purchased by gaso
line committee of the Dealers- Motor
Car association of Oregon for dis
tribution to dealers in the smaller
towns throughout the state, and is
coming by special fast freight, under
better than passenger schedule.
Second, this is only part of ship
ments aggregating 250,000 gallons.
purchased by the gasoline committee
of the dealers' association for de
livery in Oregon this month. The
remainder of the 350,000 gallons will
be carried for the most part in car
load lots by regular trains.
Price Lift Explained.
Third, the Union Oil company of
California, in an official announce
ment yesterday citing reasons why
It has increased the price of its gaso
line to 29 cents a gallon in Portland
announced that it is buying gaso
line for Pacific coast points in the
mid-continent field, and that seven
eolid trainloads. containing 175 tank
cars of gasoline, already have been
shipped and arrangements made for
additional shipments. A proportionate
share of this gasoline has been
allotted to Oregon, the increase from
25t,i to 29 cents being made, accord
ing to the company, to cover the cost
of shipping this gasoline by freight.
Fourth, the Associated Oil com
pany recently announced that its al
lotment of gasoline for Oregon this
month has been increased 50 per cent
over the August quota last year.
Fifth, the Shell company, though
not able to announce definite figures
on August quotas, has for the past
Beveral months received 50 per cent
more gasoline than during the same
period last year. Officials say the
same ratio is expected to continue
through August.
Local Supply Increased-
Sixth, the Standard o:i company is
now supplying territory in Oregon
east of The Dalles from the Utah and
Wyoming fields which formerly was
supplied from Portland. This has al
ready relieved the gasoline shortage
east of the mountains, though in
creasing the price, and leaves more
gasoline a'vailable for western Ore
gon. Seventh, if all this does not greatly
relieve if not entirely eliminate the
shortage, the gasoline committee of
the Dealers' Motor Car association of
Oregon is in the market for still mort.
gasoline from independent sources.
There is plenty of gasoline for sale
in the mid-continent field. A steady
stream of tank cars, to be delivered
during the month, in addition to the
200.000 gallons in the 25-car special
train that passed Los Angeles en
route north yesterday, is on the way
or coming.
Tralnload Cost VSO.278.
This special train of gasoline. In
cidentally, cost the dealers $50,278.85
f. o. b. Tulsa, and freight charges are
7 cents a gallon. One or more cars
will be delivered at Grants Pass,
Roseburg, Corvallis, Albany, Salem.
Tillamook. Wheeler, St. Helens and
Astoria. Some will go also to Van
couver, Wash., and to Kelso.
The gasoline committee of the
cealers' association has right now
under purchase for August delivery,
Including this trainload, 106 carloads
of gasoline. This is expected to re
lieve the gasoline shortage in the'
smaller towns. Members of the com
mittee are C. L. Boss, chairman; A. B,

arrested here a year ago and now
serving a term in the Minnesota peni

murder of a Tacoma woman in May,
1919, according to a communication
from Minnesota officials to the Ta
coma police department.
Groh, it was said in the report from
Minnesota, is asking- for a pardon and
he told of the murder in order to gain
clemency. According to the confes
sion, Groh was in a party of four
which went from Tacoma to Seattle,
where a motor boat ride was taken on
Lake Washington.
Groh, in the confession sent to
police here, declares that while on the
lake, Sam Riley, known here under
at least four aliases, demanded that
one of the women in the party, Mrs.
Lawson, hand over $800 which she
had in her stocking.
When the woman refused, Groh said
in his confession, Riley took the
money by force and threw Mrs. Law
son into the lake, where she was
drowned.
The other three In the party re
turned to Tacoma in the automobile,
which belonged to Mrs. Lawson, Groh
says.
Tacoma police are investigating the
confession. No Tacoma woman named
Lawson has been reported missing,
but a Mrs. Maggie Lawson of Brem
erton, was reported missing by her
husband in January, 1919, and has
not been located since, officers said.

The county commissioners will de
cide definitely tomorrow morning
whether Multnomah county will un
dertake the reconstruction of the ap
proaches to the Morrison street bridge.
The question whether the county has
the legal authority to undertake this
work is a close legal question, ac
cording to District Attorney Evans.
Mr. Evans in a written opinion has
advised the commissioners that he
does not think the county has the
legal r'ght to undertake the work,
sinca K involves "reconstruction" of
the approaches instead of regular
maintenance work.
Although the question was to have
been decided yesterday afternoon at
a special meeting of the city commis
sioners, county commissioners. City
Attorney La Roche, District Attorney
Evans and county and city engineers,
the matter had not been decided after
half hour of argument, and was again
referred to the engineers and attor
neys. The city, county and bridge engi
neers at a special conference later in
the afternoon with the city and dis
trict attorneys, gave as their opinion
that among technical bridge men the
word "maintain" as applied to bridge
work would be broad enough to ln-
ciuae the word approaches."
Work Is "Maintenance."
They claim that this work would
not come under "reconstruction." but
would be strictly "maintenance'
work.
City Attorney LaRoche agrees with
Mr. Evans that if this work is to be
termed "reconstruction" that the coun
ty has no authority to proceed with
it. He is inclined, however, to take
the authority Of thA hrtrtcrf mon that
it can be done under the heading of'
maintenance and that the county
will have full authority to start work
at once.
Everyone is agreed that the city
has full power to do the work, but the
city does not have the money, and
the county has sufficient, and the
county commissioners are willing to
go aneaa with the work, since It is
deemed necessary, if they have the
legal right to do so.
If the bridge is in any danger at
any time, the county commissioners or
the city may close the bridge to traf
fic at once, and this will be done if
necessary.
The county commissioners do not
wish to risk the delay of bringing a
test suit in the supreme court to de
termine the legal question involved.
Test Would Delay Hark.
The supreme court could not get
to the case until about the middle of
September, and this means unneces
sary delay, say the commissioners.
T.he problem now, according to La
Roche, is to so modify the plans so
that the work will come within the
term, maintenance."
"We must stretch a point, if neces
sary, to protect the lives of the
people," Mayor Baker said yesterday.
nen me matter was discussed at the
meeting iu the council chamber. "We
must have no delay."

Oregon Board Opposes Xew Prac

out Some Form of Examination.
y
SALEM. Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.)
Iecause of the tendency of members
of the dental profession to come from
the eastern states to the west, while
lew go from the west to the east, the
state board of dental examiners has
placed Its disapproval on a proposed
reciprocal exchange of dental licenses.
This stand was taken by Dr. W. D.
McMillan, secretary of the Oregon
board, at a meeting of the national
board of dental examiners held at
New Orleans.
"It is entirely probable that in time
a federal examining board may be
created," says the Oregon board's 32d
annual report to the governor, "and
thus devise sor.ie method of a fair
reciprocal exchange of licenses, but
any method which will permit dentists
to locate in the western states with
out some form of examination, or
r.erely by the registration of their
licenses or certificates from some
other states, should be opposed by
this board until such time as an equit
nble system may be proposed whereby
the dentists now registered in -this
Btate shall be assured of compensating
advantages elsewhere.
As a result of the New Orleans con
ference the board declares therels no
reason to feel that Oregon is second
to any other state relative to legis
lation. law enforcement or in other
matters concerning the dental pro
fession.
At the close of the fiscal year on
June 30, S80 dentists were listed
licensed to practice in Oregon, of
which 184 were non-resident. During
the ear $1207.50 In license fees was
collected and the licenses of 81 den
tists were revoked for failure to pay
their fees.
The board Is reported on a Bound
financial basis.

SKIN DISEASES
I ntold Snfferlnie That Could
Be Avoided
Diseases of the skin come from be
neath the surface, hence they can be
reached only by remedies that pene
trate down to their very source.
If you are afflicted with eczema,
tetter, erysipelas, ringworms, pim
ples, aone, scaly eruptions. .boils. Ir
ritations of the skin, or other similar
disorders, you need not expect any
real relief from local applications,
and the sooner you discard their use
the sooner you will be on the road to
recovery, provided you will rely upon
the use of S. S. S.
Very often the Itching and irrita
tion are ao severe that you feel dis
posed to try almost anything for re
lief, and that is why you rely upon
local treatment of salves, ointments.
washes and such remedies.
But these remedies cannot possibly I
have any real curative effect upon
the trouble because your disease comes
from far below the surface.
S. S. S. is one of the most satis
factory remedies for diseases of the
skin because it goes direct to the seat
of the trouble, and by cleansing the
blood of all impurities and disease
germs it keeps the skin free from in
fection and restores it to its normal,
healthy condition.

if it hadn t been for .Tanlac I don t
believe I would be here today." waB
the emphatic statement made by Mrs.
Mollle Abbey of Jennings Lodge, Ore.,
while in Portland recently.
"if anybody wants to know about
Tanlac I'll be only too glad to tell
them what it's done for me. for It has
not only relieved me of my despair
and suffering but has actually built
me up from 96 to 135 pounds in
weight, and I'm new enjoying the
best of health. For nine years before
I got Tanlac my stomach simply kept
me in continual misery. 1 had no
appetite at all, and everything I ate
caused sour gas to form on my
stomach and so .disagreed with me
that it almost drove me to distraction.
I didn't dare eat any fruit, drink
lemonade, or anything with acid in it,
and for four years if I even drank
a glass of cold water it would cause
me to suffer dreadfully. I was
troubled continually with diszlness
and nausea, and was so nervous I
couldn't be still for scarcely a minute.
My suffering was just almost un
bearable and no one that didn't see
me can imagine the awful condition
I was in.
"I was getting worse all the time,
and when I saw Tanlac endorsed so
highly. I decided to try it as a last
resort. Well, after taking it for a
short time I began to feel so much
better that I just kept on taking It
until now I'm simply feeling fine. My
appetite is splendid, and X eat any
thing I want without my stomach
troubling me any whatever. As I
said, I've actually gained 39 pounds
In weight, and have so much strength
and energy I now do all my house
work with perfect ease. I owe my
present good health entirely to Tan
lac, and I want everybody suffering
like I did to know what a remarkable
medicine it really is."
