SAN FRANCISCO, July 51. In
creased consumption, not diminished
supply. Is given as the cause of the
gasoline shortsge. In a statement Is
sued Sunday by the Standard Oil
company ot California.
- "In 1915 there were 339,000 motor
vehicles on the Pacific Coast, In 1930
more than 780,000," the statement
says. ','In 1916 there were 3,009
tractors; In 1950 at lesst 35,080.
There are many thousands ot gas
engines In operation.
"In 1918 the company's sales of
gasoline amounted to 153,000,000
gallons;' in 1919, 193,900,000, white
the sales ot 1930 wilt be mora than
300.000,000 gallons. So far this
year the company has sold 48.4 par
cent more gasoline than for the same
period ot last year.
"Reserve stocks of crude oil
amounted to 58,500,000 barrels In
1916, to only 36,600,000 on May 31,
1930. Standard Oil reserve stocks
ot gasoline on January 1, 1918, were
37,000,000 gallons; a year later 14,
300,000, and this year 4,400,000 gal
lons, or but 88,000 barrels, or which
1 per cent was unavailable, being In
tnnk bottoms and pipe lines."
Production ot crude oil this year
Is estimated at a llttlo more than
100,000,000 barrels, and at the pres
ent rate consumption this year will
be more than 110,000,000 barrels.
"In other words," says the state
ment, "the Pacific Coast will this
year consume 10,000,000 barrels ot
crude, oil more than produced. This
company alone Is buying 90,000,000
gallons ot gasoline east ot the Rock
ies 'and from Mexico which goes to
points formerly dependent upon Cal
ifornia for supplies."
The statement points out that
while there are more than 3,000
mora wells this year than in 1916,
MKDFORD, Oro., July SI. Al
fred Parkhurst, president and man
ager ot the Crater Lake company,
which holds the concessions at Crat
er Lake, and who explained condi
tions at the lake at the Informal
luncheon with leading Medford busi
ness men, will stsnd pat and will not
give up his concessions In spite ot
the order of Stephen Mather, direc
tor of national parks.
In an Interview later Mr. Park
hurst said;
"The main hotel and Anna Spring
camp hotel are open and have been
all the time with a full crew of em
ployes and able to give first-class
accommodations up to the limit of
their capacity. Despite the state
ment of Mr. Mather given out at
Portland this week, thst In his re
cent visit to the lake he had gtven
me notice that I must give up my
concessions within two weeks, I am
In full charge and expect to be tho
rest ot the season. I have contracts
tor these concessions with the gov
ernment. "At no time has Alexander Spar
row, superintendent of Crater Na
tional park, been placed In charge ot
the hotel accommodations, or In part
charge by Mr. Mather, but I am re
ceding as I always have received the
usual friendly .and Informal co-operation
ol Mr. Sparrow.
"Also the report that almost tha
entire staff of my employes quit ear
ly this week Is erroneous. The en
tire trouble was stirred up by a
steward who, after he had been dis
charged, tried t tnaaee the eatlra
staff to quit,, hat Mir nine did m.
a BIMClll
iMbb am Mfclto imMlfMr. H
"The steward also was an agita
tor. He told Mr. Mather a lot of er
roneous information about me and
hotel conditions. Instead ot having
red 400 or more people at tne lake
on July 4, as related by Mr. Mather
and tho steward, the truth Is that
only 134 were red and they were
well taken care of."
