while the output for the year 110 la

The total production for 1S10 la
given on good authority as being
S.tOO.000 barrels of 60 gallons each. In

only a few years ago gasoline was a
by-product of Illuminating oil manu

of Its supremacy In the field.

At a conservative average figure,
the first-hand value, of the total pro

aa I4S.000.000 for last year, based on
an estimate of 10 cents per gallon.
That the demand for gasoline does

gallona each.
Only a small proportion of each bar
rel of crude oil is available In the
form of gasoline, by far - the greater
part of It being converted by dlsllla
tlon Into the Illuminating oils. Hence.
It follows that the growing demand
for gasoline Is causing, oil - producers
more or - less anxiety. Indirectly It
may be said to have been instrumental
In cauatng a drop of 1H cents a gal
lon or 75 cents a barrel for domestic
distribution, while for .export the de
cline amounted to )1 a barrel. Another
factor which bears upon the situation
Is tha existence of an "oil war" abroad,
to which la attributed a sharp decline
In the exports of Illuminating oils. . .

Worth Considering
You men who buy tires without full information should consider a
few faets entering into the atriBrnrig success of this tire.
Tou should consider that 64 leading- Motor Car Makers have 'made
vjontrscts with us for No-Rim-Cut tires
That more pneumatio tired ears at the shows this year were fitted
with Goodyear ' than any other make
-JThat last year our sales trebled leaped to Eight and One-Half Mil
Jioo Dollars because of the popularity of No-Rim-Cut tires.
The Reason Why
The rim-cut, following close on the heels of a puncture, sends other
tires to the sorap heap. Ooodyear No-Rim-Cut tires prevent this waste.
This splendid (raartntee against
deetnictlon and loss is accom
r pUshed by the flange curving out
ward instead of inward. Instead
of crashing down on a tooth that
bitet Into its aide, the tire when
Inflated, presses down on a smooth
curved surface. In this way it may
be run without injury for miles.

With the exception of a difficult

were found to get rougher as they
neared Eugene.
The members of the party were much
surprised at the dusty condition of the
read between Eugene and Portland.
"A deplorable scarcity of intelligible
road signs exists in Oregon." said Mrs.
Augustln' to Assistant Secretary Sey

"Isn't there some way to remedy this
evil and emulate California, where road
