"An examinat'en of the official records on file In the office ot Hwretary of iti!r, reveals that slightly over 13 per cent of the people ot Oregon owned and reg istered motor vehicles during the year lXO.

The workers immediately took to the open and established themselves and their families in tents and tent colonies, where they have been living since, winter and summer. This picture Is typical ot one of the outdoor homes. Evidently, the miners have large families, at least the number of Juvenile and tooselcd heads peering from the tent would Indicate this.

Ratios Shown "The states mentioned thus rank in the following order In ra tio of motor vehicle to total popu lation: Washington, Colorado. Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Mon tana, Arizona, Utah. The totals for the state of Nevada are Inclu sive df piotorcycles, and there Is therefore no way of ascertaining accurately the position of this state with reference to the pres ent analysis. The only available report from thd state of Califor nia embraces the period extend ing from January 1, 1920, to Jan nary 31, 1921, and shows the reg istration of 583.623 machines djiirlng the 13 months. 'sed up on the populatioa given that state by the census figures of 1920, every 5.87 ersons would own a motor vehicle, but of course this is an Incorrect ' f6rm of computa tion, as the. registration total3 given above cortain a duplication to the extent of all cars registered during the months of January. 1921. Since January in every year Is by tar the heaviest regis tration month, it may be fairly concluded that California figures for the 12 month in 1920 would not show a mucli gTeater per cap ita ownership than In washinS' ton, or ven Oregon where good roads development wan retarded ranch longer than in the other two coast states. Oregon in Lead "Motorcycle registrations for 1920 show Oregon to have been in the lead of the 10 western States, with -tho fewest number per capita having teen registered In the state of Arlxona.- Arizona licensed one motorcycle for ery 823 persons: Colorado one tor. every 275: Idaho, one for ev ery 585;. Montana, one for every 813; Utah, ona for every 404; Washington for every 270: Wyo ming for every 594; and Oregon one for every 223. "Motor vehicles" registered in Oregon during the first seven months of 1921, excesd the total numbe tegisterod during th whole of 1920 fcy 5.509. A com parison of the states, mentioned above, on this basis, shows that front January 1, to August 1, 1921, the machines registered in Arizona aggregate 95.24 per rent of the total registered .during th entire year of 1920; while in Ida ho the percentage was 93.58; ;ln Montana. 89.61; In Utah. 100.84; in Washington, 90.63; and In Oregon, 105.30. States reporting for the first six months ot 1921,' show, Colorado," 96.40 per .cent; Nevada, 99.05 per cent, and Wyo ming'. ,1 05.74 oer . cent. . as .com pared with their respective regis trations for, th full year ot 1920. Conditions Roflected . ...'The Jact tbot motor vehicle registrations tor the first six' or seven months of 1921 equal from 90 to 105 per cent of all cars reg istered during 1920. may. of course, be attributed to two caus es, namely, an. effective enforce ment of the lavr i cquiring registra tion, and an Increase In the num ber of .motor vehicles coming Into use. And obviously the increas ing use of motor vehicles reliably rerlects the comparative general condit'onft of Industrial activity and prosperity. The figures giv en herewith are there tore Inter esting, in that they show Oregon's oosition to be second among the states herein . considered, only Wyoming having made: a slightly better showing. , (Palifomia can not, of course, be estimated, ow ing to the (act that the 13-morithj report submitted, does not afford a fair basis for comparison . with the other states." . -' i-.-.v v i' '4.-' i . .. f t, . , : '.. -v! -rv;;;:;:::,:.
