GASOLINE TAX
GIVES REVENUE
FOR HIGHWAYS
1924 Sales Show Large Increase
Over 1923; $214,497.05
Collected in April.
To the motor vehicle owner, as well
as to the residents of the State not
to fortunate as to be the possessors
of motor cars, any statements which
show the quantity of gasoline con
sumed annually in the operation of
motor Tehicies, as well as the reven
ues resulting from the tax thereon,
are doubtless more or less interest
ing. Ths following figures are from
the office of the Secretary of State:
During April. 1924, 6,701,337 gal
lons of gasoline and 523,190 gallons
of distillate were consumed, from
which the tax imposed under existing
laws amounted to $214,497.05. At the
end of this month licenses had been
issued for H0.5i3 passenger cars, 11,- j
164 trucks, and 1,930 motorcycles, all
of which consume more or less gas
oline in their operation. The April
sales of gasoline are approximately a
15 increase over the sales for the
month of March, and the total sales
for the first four months of 1924 will
be an increase of substantially 32
over the saies of gasoline for the
corresponding months of the year
1&23.
Since the law imposing a tax on
gasoline became effective in Oregon
on February 26, 1919, the number of
gallons soid annyaiiy and the tax re
suiting the re f ruin has been as fol
lows: lt19, 31949.653 gallons of gasoline,
4.693.792 gallons of distillate, tax
$342.9 65.52;
120. 45.100.330 gallons of gasoline,
2.616,039 gallons of distillate, tax
$464 ,03.65;
1921, 50.96723 gallons of gasoline,
2,465.41 gallons of distillate, tax
$1,00476.64;
1921. 57,172,772 gallons of gasoline,
2,593.475 gallons of distillate, tax
$1,1k2,357.66;
1923. 72,789,723 gallons of gasoline,
813,610 gallons of distillate, tax
$2,046,950.70;
For the foor months of 1924 ending
April SOth, 21,518314 gallons of gas
oline and 1,080,452 gallons of distil
late were sold, from which the tax
amounted to $672,069.05.
The total tax collected since the
law has been in force amounts to $$,
712302.12. This entire sum has been

OREGON WALNUTS WIN NOTICE.
"That Washington county walnuta
are gaining a wide reputation la in
dicated by numeroua inqulriea being
received, aoma being personal from
California growers who are interest
ed in locations and price of suitable
land. A gentleman from that atate
who waa in town last week inquired
tha way to the Groner place and
another who made many inquiries
said he believed land and climate
conditiona suitable for chestnut cul
ture in which he was engaged in
California. Of this nut he said the
supply haa never equalled the de
mand and prices run as high aa 60
cents a pound." Hillsboro Indepen
dent ''Material increase can be brought
about in consumption of nuts with
out exceeding actual diet require
ments," reported the Agricultural
Economic conference at the college
this year. The area of commercial
production in the United States is
strictly limited, but western Oregon
is within that lone.
tracting began Monday of thla week,
and delivery must be made early, ac
cording to tha terms of the contract.
The offering of contracts has been
made about two months later this
year than last year. Very little con
tracting haa been dona by farmers to
date, according to information obtain
able, the feeling among farmers gen
erally being that conditions of last
year when the early price for a big
crop gave way to a lower price later
will be reversed this year. Pendle

The crop in that district has been

Mailing A Watch
A great many watches are mailed for
repairing, especially during harvest, and as
this time is nearing a few remarks and sug
gestions may not come amiss in regard to
packing.
A good box, 4 or 5 inches sqaure, should
be used. The watch wrapped nd firmly pack
ed to prevent bumping against the sides.
Cotton should not be used under any con
ditions. A larger box costs but 2 or 3 cents extra
for postage and usully saves breakage in
transit. Insurance on the average watch
is 3 to 5 cents and protects one against loss
entirely.
We stand back of our watch repairing
and main springs are guaranteed one year.
Mail orders promptly taken care of.
Estimates on cost of repairing gladly
given.
