OREGON FUEL NEWS
Portland, Ore., Nov. 30. That oil
companies were not Justified In their
recent action of refusing to sell gas
oline, and distillate to garages unless
the dealer agreed not to sell from 6
p. ni. to 6 a. m. and on Sundays,
claiming authority from trV Fuel
Administration for so doing, is the
decision rendered by the oil division
of the United States Fuel Administra
tion at Washington, to which Fuel
Administrator Fred J. Holmes sub
mitted the matter.
N. B. Beecher, counsel for the oil
division, said in a letter to Mr.
Holmes, d;ited November 21:
"We think your position is entire
ly correct, that in view of the fact
that no order with respect to closing
has been issued by the fuel admin
istration, distributors were free to
comply with the request of the Fed
eral Oil Director for the Pacific
Coast, the Pacific Coast Petroleum
War Service committee and the Ore
gon Slate Council of National De
fense, or not, as they, saw it and that
the oil companies were not justified
in refusing to sell to those who failed
to comply with the ;eiuest upon the
representation that they were acting
under any directions of the fuel ad
ministration or the Pacific Coast Pe
troleum War Service committee.

Oregon faces the winter with a bet
ter fuel supply than almost any other
state in the union, according to Fuel

an abundance of coal from Wyoming,
with a large supply of native wood

state has nothing to fear from cold

Good Will Given a New Impetus
A statement of Dodge Brothers war ac
tivities is due the owners of their cars.
Dodge Brothers refrained during the pro
gress of the war, from any reference to the
performance of the car in Government ser
vic. It seems proper now, however, tor disclose
the facts, because they are creditable facts
intensifying that good will which owners
of Dodge Brothers cars have always manifested.
Dodge Brothers car was the only one of
its class approved andl adopted by the
"War Department.
In 'separate Ordnance Works, built espec
ially for the purpose, costing millions of
dollars and employing thousands of their
skilled motor workmen, Dodge Brothers
undertook an important duty designated
by the "War Department.
"Without the aid of their great motor or
ganization, Dodge Brothers could not have
fulfilled the heavy obligation which they
were asked to assume by th Ordnance De
partment. The other sen-ice required of Dodge Broth
ers motor works, hy the Government, was
to continue to furnish their cars as they
were needed.
They were furnished, not in hundreds, but
in thousands both for the training camps
here, and for service in Belgium, France
and Italy.
Tlie record of those thousands of camp
. 'and army cars is one in which any owner
, may feel the utmost pride and satisfaction.
Their performance justified the compli
ment implied in their selection by the Gov
ernment. '
Hie great works in which nearly three
hundred thousand of their cars have been
produced in the past four years furnished
a vast storehouse of human energy and
equipment for the ordnance works.
NataraTly, it will take time to adjust the
motor works to its full accustomed activity.
Gradually Dodge Brothers will resume thtv
grateful task of continuing to deserve the
good will of America and indeed of the
whole world.
Dodge Brothers consider good will their
moet valued possession.
They will never knowingly d anything ta
lessen it.
