New Line of Cars and Trac
, tors will Occupy Building
at State and Front
On account of the output of the Ford
factory being matcrrally reduced and
the difficulty in getting cars, Vick
Brothers have decided to re-orgauize
their sales force and open up in new
quarters, taking on another lino of
trucks and the agency for the Max
well car.
After thoroughly investigating the
different cars and trucks, they decided
to take the sales service of the Mas-
wen, knowing that the Maxwell brand-.
111 lor 'and is in a position to give
prompt service to its agents. This west
ern branch carries in stock a complete
assortment and large stock of the Max
welt parts.
The Maxwell headquarters will bo lo
cated in the large building at the cot-
iter ol State and iron.) streets, now oe
cuprtu by the Purvine Implement com
pany. This building with its larga floor
space and two floors' will give ample
ro?m to show the Maxwell cars as well
;is ihe Samson tractors. The lower floor
(f ihe building will be used as sample
rooms while the upper floor will serve
as a storage room for auto supplks aud
surplus automobiles.
George W. Vick of tho firm of Vick
Brothers will give his personal a.-ten-tion
to the. Maxwell agency and the
business from the new location which
will be conducted entinely separate
from the Kord business. The Ford
agency and its business in its present
location will bo in chargo of Chas. H.
Vick.
The new business will probably be
conducted under the nam of the Val
ley Motor company wiJh George H. Vick
as manager, assisted by Elbert Thomp
son ana a. 11. Nicholson as salesmen
and Fred Bernard; and Clifford Bruuk
mechunics.

False Advertising
Costs Russian $100
Portland, Or., May 10, Declaring
that Portland has reached a "mile
stone iu the advertising business''
Judge Rossman made Ivan de Marcel
Russian dnnce instructor the milestone
by fining him $100 for false advertising.
Disregarding the jurv s recommenda
tion for leniency, the court declared .lie
case had attracted so much attention
that he chose rather to make an exam
ple of the temperamental dancer and
las "flamboyant methods" as the jury
,trn.:d it.
Judge Hossman predicted that "Eo
v&liu'' would lose hundreds of dollais
iu lost patronage. D6 Marcel has booa
conducting a dancing class ' for 200
uromeu here. The specific charge was
that he us?d the pictures of two famous
dancers iu advertising himself.
Judge Hossman intimated that bo far
as his court was concerned, false adver
tising would be held a serious charge.

Called Settled
By' H. C. Hamilton
(United Press staff correspondent)
New York, May 10. With a record
of nine straight victories piled up be

ninny this yearthe Giants traveled
west today to take on the strongest
half of Governor Tener's baseball lea
gue This will be the first meeting be
tween the last year's champions and
tho teams which have been figured to
sot them back. So far the Giauts have
aoeoiniilislied a run of vi&torio that is
domwalizing ito What has practically
become an aUeged pennant race. Un
less the western teams are able to
whittle down tho lead of the New-
Yorkers substantially, they should to
urn to New York so far ahead of the
I procession that itho rotrt of the race
would ho a eantem.
It was pointed out, however, that in
i 190(5 the Giants were out ahead with a
magnificent string of victories at
about the same time of the year, and
then wasted away to a more contender
befo.ro July 4 had livened UT) the coun
try.
Today tho Giants will take on the
Pirates. From Pittsburg they go to
('iu-einii-ati and 'then will take on the
Cardinals and Cubs in order.

To the Gas Customers of the Salem Gas Plant
Gas Rate Talk No. 4
As an example of the increased costs of operation-, the cost of coal has ad
vanced from $5.44 per ton to $7.32 per ton, an advance of 35, with great
probability of still further increases. As we used 2,400 tons of coal last year
and will probably use at least 2,500 tons this year, it is apparent that the in
crease in the cost of coal will cause a large increase in the cost of making
gas.
Then, too, stokers wages have advanced from $72.00 ner month tn Rionnn
X per month, an increase of 29. Most other labor costs have advanced ac-
coroingiy.
The result of these increased costs will be to cause the gas plant to exper
ience a loss of about $1,461.00 this year, as shown in Gas Rate Talk No. 2, un
less additional revenue is provided to the company by an increase in its rates
for gas.
The above loss is the amount that the gross income will be exceeded by
the total operating and fixed or overhead expenses. Therefore, the com-
rLwT..noAonlIlltoreceiveany interest on the investment of $215,
576.78 which the Public Service Commission has determined as being the
actual value of the plant, but would also be' out the sum of $1,461.00 above
mentioned.
