the Ashland Fruit company," says
the Ashland Tidings.
"Five cars of fruit, or approxi

ped by the Ashland Fruit company,
the majority of the growers sellin?
their crop through the fruit com
pany. Mr. Pankey estimated In the

the remainder of the crop which
will be handled (his week will
bring the total in the neighborhood
of 70 to 75 tons.

on the I.oa Angelas markets," the
paper continues.
"There are 18 pickers at work
In the Wiley orchard nt the pre

workers aiding in harvesting the
crop. Approximately four and a
half tons of Royal Annes were har

shift pack Is carried on, working
24 hours to get the cherries out
in good condition.
"A car of Ashland , grown cher
ries was sold in New York this

returns, according to Mr. Pankey.
"In. addition to the fruit sold to
the Rogue River cannery and Bold
in large commercial lots, there has
been a large quantity of fruit sold
in fancy pack gift boxes. The
Ileal h orchard on Terrace street
for several ' years has specialized
in Ibis fnncy pack box sale and an

A grass fire, the origin of which
Is unknown, sturted about 3:15
o'clock yesterday afternoon on state
land at Walker creek, four miles
southeast of Ashland and had
grown to such proportion! that the
forestry office was notified about 10
O'clock last night. Dwlght Phip:s,
illstitet fire warden, who later vis
ited the scene, wus unuble to judge
how big an area had burned over
at that time because at night a fire
always looks larger than It really
is.
It Is presumed that the fire light
ters had the fire under control or
extinguished, for no further word
was received from it by the Crater
national forest office here today.

Announcement!
Effective Saturday morning. July 12, at the opening of business, The Standard
Oil Company! of California will restore its prices for gasoline to levels prevailing
, V" prior to the beginning of the so-called price war.
The events of the pnst month, the company believes,
have demonstrated to the oil industry that indis
. criminate price cutting benefits neither the supplier
nor the dealer, and that it must now be realized
that orderly marketing conditions and stabilized
prices need the cooperation of all of those engaged
in the oil business. It is the hope of the company
that this step will not only bring order out of ex
isting chaos, but will also result in stabilization,
with consequent benefit to the oil industry and to
the general welfare and prosperity of the Pacific
coast. Only the prompt termination of the price
war which has been raging on the Pacific coast can
save the oil industry and many thousands of per-
sons engaged in the sale of, petroleum products,
from catastrophe. The prosperity of the industry,
and those associated with it, is a matter of great
consequence to the welfare of all. business. If the
oil industry, which' with its huge investments and .
hundreds of thousands of stockholders and em
ployees, is one of the greatest economic units of the
Pacific coast, fails to prosper, the effect on other
businesses, already depressed in many respects
would be disastrous. '
So far as crude oil is concerned, producers, have
done their share. Throughout California they have
cooperated to confine the production of crude oil to
the demand and to conserve for future requirements
this invaluable resource, the waste of which is in
defensible. This is only the first step. It loses its
effectiveness if manufacturers and marketers of the
refined products of petroleum do not. similarly re
frain from over production through the withdrawal
of crude oil already in storage.
Laws enacted nearly forty years ago to nieet dif
ferent conditions have been interpreted to prohibit
agreements to curtail the production of refined pro
ducts as well as agreements to regulate the price
structures under which thev are sold. Neverthe
less much can lie accomplished if those engaged in
the industry will use their individual efforts to sta
bilize marketing conditions for gasoline and if they
will practice fair dealing in competition. "Without
a production of gasoline restricted to the demand,
and without stabilized marketing conditions for the
product, the curtailed production of crude petro
leum will be only an idle gesture and the conserva
tion of oil so earnestly supported by the federal
administration will be doomed to failure.
Among the causes destructive of stabilized market
ing conditions is the dealer whose only aim, regard
less of the reasonableness of prevailing prices, is to
take the business of his neighbor by selling below
the latter's price. In a stabilized market the sup
pliers aim to fix a price by agreement with their
dealers which will afford the latter a reasonable
margin of profit, be it three or four cents a
gallon, or whatever the figure. It is estimated that
there are some 40,000 dealers on the Pacific coast.
Of these, over 39,000 arc content to "live and let .
live." They take their margin and resell the gaso
line supplied to them at prices fair to the public and
which yield the supplier and the dealer a fair profit.
There are perhaps 1000 dealers on the Pacific coast
whose policy is otherwise. They cut the price not
because they believe it unfair or too high, but be-. '
cause they are determined to get another man's
business regardless of the fairness of his price.
The Standad Oil Company of California announces
as a policy that it will not sell its products to that
class of dealer. It does not want his business. It
matters not whether he is practicing his unfair com
petition with respect to the products of this c6m
pany or of its competitors. So far as this company
is concerned, it will regard the dealer who cuts
prices without respect to their reasonableness in
order to take the trade and livelihood of his neigh
bor as an outlaw in the business. -
Finally, in order to do its share toward maintaining
a balance between supply and demand, this com
puny will confine its manufacture of gasoline to the
quantity required by its actual demand.
SALKM, Ore., July 12. If
the people of California, In the fall
election, approve a proposed con
Htitutional amendment . whereby
the personal tax on automobiles
become a part of the atate license
fee, Himllar to the Oregon system,
Secretary of Rtate Hoss expects
fewer California license plates on
cars that are really owned In Ore
Kn.
California's flat 3 fee has al
ways 'been a temptation to some
Oreicn car owners to "booties;"
plates from the neighboring state.
The stnte traffic department Is on
the lookout for these and Secre
tary Hobs believes that by far most
of the California plates seen In
Oregon, even outside the tourist
Heason, are legal. '
