I ALLOCATION OF CARS
! CHARGED BY BUCHTEL
J Intimations that the Pacific north
west is not receiving a square deal
ffrom the federal railroad administra
tion in the allocation of cars are con
f tained in a letter forwarded by Fred G.
iBuchtel, chairman of the Oregon pub
5 lice service commission, to Senator
1 McNary at Washington, Saturday, with
2 . t npt1iaK Affnrta Via- maitu
to relieve the car shortage situation in
Oregon.
"There is a feeling that other sec
tions of the country, east and south,
are receiving more favorable consider-;
ation in the allocation of cars and
that the car service bureau is prone
to prove an alibi rather than to adopt
measures of helpfulness," Butchel
writes, with a request that the aid ol
other congressmen from the Pacific
northwest be sought by McNary n.
bringing pressure to bear that will re
sult in due recognition being given by
the railroad officials to the situation In
this section.
Mills Compelled to Close.
Seven lumber mills in Oregon have
been compelled to cease operations or
to greatly limit their output because of
Inability to secure ears for shipping
their product, according to Buchtel's
letter. These are the mills of the Al
bany Lumber company, Falls City Lum
ber & Logging company, Brighton
Wills company, Carl E. Fisher Lumber
company, Prown-McPhee Lumber
company, Booth-Kelly Lumber com
pany and the Silverton Lumber com
pany. The statement of the federal railroad
administration to the effect that the
fault lies in the lack of trackages and
erminal facilities is emphatically de
nied by Butchel, who declares more
cars and engines alone will solve ths
present serious problem which is not
only resulting in serious financial loss
es to the operators of the mills but
which is creating a serious unemploy
ment problem throughout tho state.
The fuel situation, too, he declares is
being greatly aggravated by the inabil
ity of mills to ship.
Survey Gives Data.
Buchtel's appeal for further consid
eration by the railroad administration
Is based on letters from lumbermen
and lumbermen's associations. The
secretary of the West Coast Lumber
men's association in writing the com
mission declares he views the situation
"with a grave apprehension that unless
the car service section is shaken out of
tis self-satisfied, complacent policy tho
Pacific northwest, during 1920, will be
up against a very, very serious car situation."
I INCORPORATIONS.
The Rita Hotel company of Portland,
capitalized at $500, filed articles of
incorporation wtih the corporation de
partment nere Saturday. The incor
porators are N. A. Olson Tfla n Tufortn
and M. J. Heaman.
A certificate showing- a
capital stock from 150.000 to lin nnn
was filed by the Orchards Water com
pany or Jamison, Malheur county.

BILL PROPOSED TO
MAKE NATIONAL
STATE GAS TEST SAME
A law providing that "the specifica
tion for gasoline as adopted by the U.
S. government shall be the specifica
tion for motor gasoline In the state of
Oregon," is urged upon the solons ot
Oregon who are to meet in special ses
sion here this month by G. W. Gray,
secretary of the government committee
on standardization of petroleum pro
ducts, in a letter reecived by William
A. Dalziel, deputy state sealer oi
weights and measures, Saturday.
"By making the specifications read
this way the state of Oregon would
automatically change the specification
of their gasoline whenever the U. II
government changed its specifica
tions," declares Mr. Gray, adding that
,the United State government would
only change Its specifications after a
complete survey of the gasoline situa
tion In the United States."
Gray Is emphatically opposed to the
gravity test for gasoline. "In the sev
eral letters which I have written to
you I have always tried to impress up
on your mind that gravity had no re
lation to the quality of a gasoline," he
writes. "All states which have recent
ly passed laws have elimniated all ref
erence to gravity from the specifica
tions." V
Iowa, he states, recently repealed its
old gravity law and adopted the gov-
ernment specifications. The state of
Texas has also adopted government
specifications, he writes, adding that
"the states of Kansas, Minnesota,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
others have adopted a gasoline specifi
cation and have eliminated all refer
ence to gravity."

Paris. Pereptual turmoil and inces
sant labor troubles are the propi.etvt
i for 1920 affecting the United States as
made by Mme. de Thelme, leading
Paris seeress since the death of Mme.
de Thebes.
The Russian soviet government will

ually solved.
Violent disturbances are ahead for

Germany's convalescence will be
hastened by the industrousness of her
people; France is due to enter a flour
ishing era next April, but the improve
ment of her financial condition will b
deplayed until 1921.
The predominance of Venus in the
heavens will strengthen the movement
for peace and union throughout the
world, says Mme. de Thelme.
Doom, Holland, Jan. 6. The burgo-
meister of Doom has halted at least
temporarily, the erection of a high
fence along the roadside about the
.house of Doom, the future residence
v. f .. r . n. ,.n
is no wall about the estate, such as at
the Bentinck castle at Amerongen, the
present home of William Hohemsollern.
-It was found, however, that the
fence encroached on a public hlgn
way and, for this reason, the burgo
meister orders its construction stop
ped.
The former monarch is expected to
take up bis residence here in Febru
ary. The work of remodeling is well
under way as the house has been va
cated by the Baroness con Heemstra de
Beaufort, its former owner.
A new central heating plant is to i
built; the farm house is being refitted
as a residence for the former emper
or's staff, with accommodations for
sixteen and the house of the gardner
will be arranged as an administrative
office. Most of the employes who
worked for the Baroness von Heemstra
have been employed by Count Hohen
zollern.
Because of the cold weather lately,
the former emperor has made few vis
Its to his new home, but he is in lose
touch with those in charge of the re-
pair work and reecives frequent re
ports on its progress.
The total cash receipts of the Oregoit
supreme court for the year 1919 were

Sunday Sermons
BT REV. G. F. HOLT i
(First Baptist Church)
The Baptist church entered upon a
three weeks' series of sermon SunCsy
morning. Meetings will be held ever
evening, except Monday. This week.
Dr. Holt will have charge of the serv
ices. Dr. & J. Reid, evangelist for the
Oregon Baptist convention, will p reach.
Throughout these services, Song Lead
er u W. Fry, well known chorus dtitc-
tor will be in charge of the muical
roMien of the proframs.
Dr. Holt's topic Sunday morning was
"Faith's Motto for the New Tear."
Taking as his text, John 2:5, "Whatso
ever He saith unto you, do it." the Dr.
Holt continued:"
"We are standing on the threshhold,
we are in the opened.
We are treading on a border land we
have never trod before;
Another year is opening, and another
year is gone
We've passed the darkness of the
night! We are in the early dawn!
Then hasten to fresh labor, to obe
diently sow
Then bid the new year welcome and
let the year go
Then gather all your vigor, press for
ward in the fight
And let this be your motto 'For God
and for the fight "
"What-so-ever he saith unto you. do
it." Mary's words are faith's motto, I
commend to you as a beautiful expres-
ion and suggestive motto for Nineteen
tundred and Twenty. Only faith could
have spoken thus. Recall the scene.
esus was at the wedding feast in Ca
r.a, participating in the joys of the oc-,
casion. Embarrassment came to the
host because the supply of wine w&
exhausted. Mary vvas sympathetic for
him. She did not know what Jesus
would do. She confidently believed
that he would do something and-that
what he Would do would be the right
thing, what would be most suitanle to
the occasion. So she said to the ser
vants, "Whatsoever he saith unto you,
do it." Jesus beautifully rewarded her
faith. He always does.
We cannot hope to understand all of
Christ's orders to use or know why he
gives them any more than a soldier is
cognizant of the general's motive for
orders he issues. But, we can trust
Him. He has shown himself worthy of
your confidence.
The basis of Mary's faith was her In
tamacy with Jesus. She had confidence
in him because she knew him. Culti
vate intimacy with Jesus; talk with
him; walk with him; work with him,
Whatever he saith unto you, do tt."
Only in entire obedience is found the
pirit of faith, strength for service,
abounding Joy. Go with Christ to the
limit.
No one can estimate the victories
God will give you if you carry out the
words of this motto. You will be num
bered among the overcomers who win
the crown of life and whose service
blesses the world.
Let this be your rallying song:
' Arise, O Christian soldier ,and conse
crate anew
Your all upon the altar of him. who
died for you!
Arise in faith united and let this year
record
Your undivided service to Christ, our
risen Lord."
