Genernl gasoline Is well known in southern California and at Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and Intermediate points, where It has recontly been offered to motorists, It is meeting with the same cordial recepttfin as it enjoyed in the localities where its qualities are known. This, gasoline will be sold only through independent dealers as the General Petroleum Corporation does not install service stations. Their slogan, which tells the story, Is "Fill up our tank and let your engine decide." Medford will be the headiiuartorH for the distribution of this gasoline and lubricants and Storage and dis tribution facilities are now being contracted. The locating of this plant here Is another evidence of the importance of Medford ns a whole sale distributing center. Jackson and Josephine counties Is the territory to be served. The General Pe t ro 1 eu m Co r po ra -tlon are liberal advertisers and the independent dealers who retail their gasoline and lubricants are advertised for the service they give to the mo toring public. The owners of the loqal distribut ing plant are well known to the' people of southern Oregon. H. O. Frohbach was formerly secretary of the Medford Chamber of Commerce and J. W.

The Office of the District Attorney 'We regard the office of District Attorney as the most important county office to bo filled and we appeal to llic common sense of the electorate as to which of the candidates, iMr. Borden or' Mr. Chancy, should be elected. . We respectfully submit that 'the record of Mr. Borden, the present incum bent, entitles him to election, particularly when considered in the light of what his opponent lias to offer the voters of Jackson County. Mr. Borden has been a resident and practicing attorney in Jackson County for more than 11 years; is familiar with the procedure of the Oregon courts and particularly with the work of the office of District Attorney. The citizenship of the county . know him to be a clean, upright citizen who stands for law enforcement and economy in office. This committee lias no desire to inject anything of a personal nature into the campaign, but the gratification of an aspirant for office is always a legiti mate subject ol: discussion. Mr. Chanty, according to his own showing, was only admitted to practice in Oregon last April, and this under the Oregon law,, is only a temporary or probationary certificate for one ytar. So far as the record is concerned, he has never appeared as an attorney in an Oregon cor.rt. and all that his own statement shows in the matter of experience is that he was for nine months the County Attorney of a sparsely settled county in Texas, . where, according to the following statement of the Clerk of that County, and sent by wire to the Committee, he had four contested criminal cases in nine months, with just two convictions, and that was in the dim and distant past, somewhere in the year of 19.15, in the State of Texas. Mr. Chaney exhibits letters from citizens of Texas commending his citizen ship, rather than his gratifications as alawyer, but letters of this kind, par ticularly when they are to be used at long range, are not difficult to obtain. The record so far as his real gratifications are concerned, are confined to nine months with a participation in but four contested trials and absolutely no ex perience under the procedure of Oregon. f Would any citizen employing an attorney before the Courts of Oregon arv cept this mere shadow for the real substance of experience and practice! Would they accept these mere letters from far-away places, some of which, aa Shakespeare might say, "Damn him with faint praise," rather than the per-, sonal knowledge and contact with a man you have known for a' decade f Ae'sop a long time ago wrote a fable very applicable "to these candidates . concerning a dog carrying a piece of meat, who saw his shadow in the water , and dropped the moat to grab the shadow. AVe do not believe the voters of this county will drop a tried and true District Attorney for the Shadow offered by Mr. Chaney. The latest returns from Texas indicate that Mr. Chaney 's politics under went a most radical change while enroute from Texas to Oregon: Received at: 165 West Main Street, Medford, Oregon. 44PR BN 46 Collect 2 Extra .
