X Special Appeal wan Made to the
. Pnerfdeat of ail Oil Cost sanies
By Pacific Northwest Toartst
The fut that there fa no apprecia
ble shortage of gasoline In the Pacific
Northwest today is due very largely
to the efforts of the Pacific North
west Tourist Association.
The situation wu most serious a
month ago for the owners of resorts
and proprietors of hotels on our
lakes, beaches and highways who de
pend upon the tourist travel. There
wu every prospect of these people
suffering an irretrievable loss, . so
great in some cases as possibly to
?ut them out of business. The whole
acif k Northwest wu affected.
The tourist association, through its
secretary, Herbert Cuthbert, took the
matter up with California and with
other organisations, but in this way
wu not able to accomplish much, and
therefore he appealed by telegraph
to the presidents of each of the big
oil companies, President Teagle, of
the Standard Oil Company, of New
Jersey, W. L. Stewart, president of
otewart, president ox
the Union Oil Company, and Pres.-
dent Vaneck, of the Shell Oil Com
pany, not in a complaining, criticis-,
intr or combative way but by a re-1
quest to each one of these gentlemen
to use his influence to remedy this ,
very serious condition, and to prevent (
these business men from incurring !
this very grave lou. , j
ttech president was imormed or uie (
fact that during the war the tourist
travel had been curtailed at the re
quest of the government and now
whea the best season in history might
reasonably be expected, this gasoline
shortage wu likely to keep millions
of dollars out of the Pacific North
west which would otherwise be spent
by visitors. Ths secretary particular
ly asked, even if the shortage were
genuine, that they draw on reseVvw
until the 15th of September,
The replies received from the pres
idents of the various companies were
prompt and most courteous. Presi
dent Teagle suggested that the mat
ter be taken up immediately with
Mr. Kingsbury, the president of the
Standard OH Company of California,
and within a few days Mr. Kingiv
bury replied promising that the sit
uation would be immediately relieved
in eastern Washington and eastern
Oregon in the following telegram:
San Francisco, July 90, 1920
"Your teles-ram July 18th received.
Thia company Jm- making every ef
fort to obtain adequate supplies of
gasoline in order to restore tne situ
ations to normal. We have been
able to make purchases in- eastern
fields which will make it possible
henceforth to give eastern Washing
ton and eastern Oregon full supplies
if the eastern refiners from whom we
purchase fulfill their promises and
If there is no interrupton in trans
ports ton. A similar effort to obtain
additional supply for western Wash
ington and western Oregon hu not
succeeded there being no available
gasoline." ,
In the meantime other telegrams
had been received with reference to
western Washington, but no hope held
out for any relief. Mr. Cuthbert,
however, still kept at it, repeatedly
pressing upon the companies the ur
gency of the case and tne great harm
that wu being done in the Pacific
Northwest, although eastern states
had no such shortage. Finally the
following telegram wu received from
the President of the Union Oil Com
pany, and from that day the situation
has gradually improved and people
are more freely using their cars at
home end vacationist, are coming in
