Amendment to Motor Ve
hicle Law Requires Reg- .
istration in Oregon .
Under an amendment ta'tha
motor vehicle law" made' at the
last session of the legislature, mo
tor vehicles registered in . other
states . upon . coming into Oregon
are required to be registered by
their owners. - The law makes no
charge foe this service. The pur-.
pose of the law was to Identify
the vehicle in the case ot any
emergency, the same as the ve
hicles of Oregonians are required
to be identified through the local
motor vehicle license plates. . A
total of 13,357 have registered! j
Only a few states have a re
quirement of this kind. l The law
has been the means of securing
quite a number of stolen cars, as
well as requiring Oregon licenses
of cars whieh have not been prop
erly .registered in other states and
which originally should have been
registered and licensed under the
motor vehicle laws of Oregon as
they have been found to be. the
property of residents of Oregon.
The following statement shows
the number licensed in i other
states and : countries which" have
been registered upon entering Or
egon' between May 24 .and July

Certificate ? o f V Wecessity
Granted for Com.truction
of Natron Line
WASHINOTON, Aug-. 20. The
Central Pacific railroad company
was authorised by the 'Interstate
commerce ': commission , .today to
proceed with f construction of Its
Natron cut-oft in Oregon
Under J the anthorlsaton the
work must be begun by , January
1, 192 4, and must be completed
within two ' years. The Central
Pacific's request to retain' excess
earnings as "a part of its program
for ' financing the construction
was denied.!. I: '. -. ..
Application Ixmg Pendlixs.
By its action today, the '.com
mission disposed of an application
which had. been on its docket for
several months. Previous action
had been considered inadvisable,
commission officials said,, because
ot the litigation over the South
ern - Pacific's control -of the Cen
tral Pacifia property.
The new. line will start -at Otahv
ridge. Ore., and run 118 miles. to
a point near Kirk, Ore. , The area
to be served, ..the - commission
found, will cover a. belt-about 46
miles wide Stations will be es
tablshed at If cCredle hot sprfngs
Odell and Crescent, described in
the commission's decision as hav-
lng ' a 'population of about, twenty
each. ' .J ' r;:..,:l ,
r Millions To Be Spent ' ." .t.
The cost of censt ruction' was
estimated by the ' commission px
about $16,000,000. No plan-.of
financing was contained- in the
application or the commission's
order other than the reference to
retention of excess earnings. -
According to figures, submitted
by the road, the annual gross
revenues from the property will
average about $2,464,848 during
the first five years and will ap
proximate $3,000,000 annually
thereafter; J .
