POIITLAND. Ore., Dec. 14. To
urge the construction of the last gap
In the Crater Lake road, a Jackson
county delegation has arrived to meet
the stato highway commission.
Therp remain nine miles between
Prospect and Trail to be graded and
surfaced to complete the road from
the lake to Mcdford, Jackson coun
ty already lias expended $500,000
on the highway. The cost of the nine
miles of grading and macadam Is es
timated, roughly, at $300,000, and
tho Jackson county court wants the
work done as a cooperative project
between the highway commission
and the government. The commis
sion is said to view the matter fa
vorably In order that the stato can
reap the .benefit on tho money al
ready invested In the road.
O. A. Gardner, judge of Jackson
county, says that the nine miles can
be graded In winter this winter
and be completed before tho travel
starts next season. This section Is
along tho Rogue river, and there Ib
no way for a detour. Because of this
particular situation. Judge Gardner
Is eager to hare the contract let and
the work started during the winter
so that the grade will be in readiness
for the traffic la spring. It Is said
that government men want a sur
facing placed on another section of
the highway. The county Is willing
to agree that if the nine mile section
in graded the county will run water
wagons on the dusty division which
the government wants surfaced.

so distinctive in many ways. Along
with your pep you have such nice
personality, solidity and social ways.
Always in my mind, especially, will

ble gatherings of like gay. Intellec
tual nature, but never did I enjoy
more burlesque. Irony, Itecn wit and
satire than at tho Crater club meet
ings. Those boys certainly handed
It to me hard. The Craters are up on
their toes all - the time and are a
live bunch, and best of all along with
their good natured fun they are do
ing good for your city and scattering
sunshine und good thoughts generally."-

BIG PROFITS DENIED
(Continued from page one)
tho first six months of 1022. wore
grouped by Mr. Teaglo as follows:
From torelgn business S7,Z ly.osi.;
from collateral business 72.4 iO,H9
and from domestic oil G3. 530,4711.
Mako 31 Cvitta a Uurrul.
Tho Standard oil company of New
Jersey, Mr. Teaglo continued, has
on mod during thu two and one bait
years. onded June 30, a total of
153.930.479 from Its domestic oil
business. "During tbo same period
wo havo run through our domestic re
fineries a total of 171,467,211 barrels
of crudo oil. On these figures the
earnings wero equivalent to 3t cents
per barrel.
'Tho gross sales of the standard
Oil company of New Jersey and its
domestlu subsidiaries In the oil busi
ness during tho two nnd one half
years referred to wore $1.(16.392.315
and the profits from that business
were $53.930.4 1 9, or 3.56 per cent.
'Out of every dollar .paid by the
consumer for our petroleum products
In that period, wo retained 3.56 cents.
Applying this basis of figuration and
assuming that consumers of our gaso
line paid an average retail prlec of
7 cents per gallon, the profit of the
company was less than om cent per
gallon."
Stork THvldombt Kxiilalnni.
Mr. Teaglo also went Into the stock
dividend recently paid by his com
pany, declnring It had aroused much
'public interest nnd discussion."
Practically from Its Inception, the
committee was told, tho Standard OH
compnny of New Jersey has been
undor-capttalixcd and tho disparity
between capital stock nnd net assets
has steadily Increased. This fact has
made possible the assertion wholly
without real foundation, of abnormal
earning rates, he asserted.
Concluding bis statement, Mr.
Teagle said he thought ho properly
could claim for the petroleum indus
try Ihnt It had been "the greatest
single fartor In the extension of for
eign trade of the t'nlted States mi!
thnt It hns made a notable contribu
tion to tho prosperity, tho tvelfar"
and the progress not only of the
American people, but of tho people of
many lands." 1
