THE CASE OF GASOLINE.

Gasoline should and will 90
cry much higher unless one of
two possible things is satisfactor,
ily accomplished in the near flu
ture:
First-The development of
some process for getting larger
percentage of gasoline from crude
Ill than can now be obtained bv
Erown means.
i Second-the invention Of some
improved carburetor or other ne
chanical device which, when at
tached to the existing form of
motor engines, will permit the
use, without carbonizing or other
bad results, Of much lower gray
ity Of petroleum distillate than is
now used for the manufacture of
'asoline.
Thus is the case of Gasoline
stated in the Houston Chronicle
by Edward l.. Doheny, president
of the Mexican Petroleum com
|pany, who further says: "The
cessation or partial cessation of
reduction in Europe has caused
"a lessening Of the worlds supply
of many staples, the consumpt. u
of which has not been lessened,
but in many eases has been in
creased. Among these are certain
forms Of steel goods, copper
goods and petroleum goods. The
'reater demand for these articles
has been one of the causes for
higher prices.
"In the case of gasoline, how
ever, the causes are different for
the increase. The yield of oil is
decreasing in the first place. New
districts may be discovered that
will temporarily increase the po-
tential daily production but the
/ districts have lost the volume
# their daily yields Of a year ago.
"a little over a year ago the
great Gushing field in Oklahoma,
together with the new Headton
field in the southern part of that
state, yielded oil at the rate Of
nearly 100000 barrels daily. To-
day the production Of the same
fields has decreased to a very lit
tie over 100000 barrels daily. !
The other fields have decreased
IN similar ratios.
I'm brief, then, the supply Of
gasoline in the United States, as
by the present daily
production and last years di-
asst year, and storage oil must be
'elied upon to make up the de-
iciency.
"It is true that gasoline is
Ugh. but only the optimism of
he petroleum prospector and
PRODUCER and his proverbial i'm
providence has prevented him
rom taking advantage of the ris-
= tide Of opportunity and of
folding his oil until he gets a
rice which shall make up for dis
str0us results Of overdrilling +,
nd over-production of recent
ears"
