In ' Corvallis dog Owners have been advised either to keep their animals lnconfinement or have them vaccinaed. Between 70 and 100 dogs have already been given the vaccine treatment in Albany, following a rabies scare there. "Rabies is a terrible disease, Dr. F. C Myers. Corvallis veter inarian writes in a newspaper there, "and acts upon humans the same as upon dogs, poisoning the blood and also the brain. Hu mans suffer the worst death Im aginable from it." Spread of the disease is readily prevented, however, according to Dr. Vernon A: Douglas. Marion county health officer. Dogs show ing the slightest sign of distemp er, before the first rains of fall. should be kept.in confinement un til an examination is made, it is said. Persons contracting hydro phobia, which is usually caused by the bite of an animal suffer ing from the disease, may be cur ed, if the Pasteur treatment is given immediately. tune GOES F.B.

BIG OIL MERGER IS WATCHED HERE aaaaaaawaaa-aa-a-, ' Creates one of Largest of ! Integrated Companies Operated in World Because of the fact that Gen eral Petroleum corporation of Cal ifornia is a subsidiary of Standard Oil company of New York the recently-announced merger of Stan dard Oil company of New York and Vacuum OH company is a matter of great Interest to the Pa clfle coast creating as It does one of theforemost integrated oil com panies of the world Socony Vacuum corporation. ... The rise and development of General Petroleum corporation In the marketing field has been spec tacular. It was only seven years ago that General first entered the retail field, beginning its market ing operations through Indepen dent dealers In Seattle. It was a year later before northern Cali fornia was Included and not until the summer of 1927 was the southern California territory cov ered. ' General had Its beginning In 110 as the Consolidated Oil com pany but was little known to the general public . a Its operations were confined to production and transportation. In 19 2 6 the com pany was acquired by Standard Oil company of New York. It was then a producing, pipeline, refin ing and marketing company with producing properties and refiner ies in California and marketing and distribution facilities in Cal ifornia, Oregon, Nevada, Washing ton, Arizona, Alaska and British Columbia. Today its products. Vi olet Ray gasoline. General Ethyl gasoline, Socony motor oil, etc., are distributed through thous ands of dealers over the eitlre Pacific coast. The effect of the merger of Standard OH company of New York and Vacuum . Oil company strengthens the already strong po sition of General Petroleum cor poration. Although its activities are primarily centered In the Pa cific coast territory which It serves,' it is an integral part of the great organization which reaches out around the world, sending Its products Into every nook and corner of the earth wherever commerce goes.
