SILVERTON PERSONALS AND BRIEFS
Early in the trouble in the coal mining field ot Weet Virginia the miners were evicted from their
homes by the operators. 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.

The keen minds of the business world are con-;
stantly looking for better and morejefficient ways 6f
handling trade. In all the channels between supply -and
demantU between producer and consumer, there 13 j
always the effort to give service quicker, better and"
cheaper. '; ' i
in this sttuggle for commercial supremacy success;
comes to the man who makes the best use of his re- ,
sources. Try the Long Distance wy. It eliminates
time it saves expense it gets results. It has become
the recognized efficient way of securing prompt arid

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

Washington for every 270: Wyo

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;

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."
