Western and Atlantic railroad. Cover
nor Brown, the most astute and power
full political leader that Georgia ever
had, declared the state would hurl from
power any legislature that would au-
thorize the sale of the states most val
liable property" During twenty-nine
years the rental of the property will
have given the state twelve millions of
clean clear dollars, and the state still
the owner of the property. At the time
the existing lease was made there was
an audacious effort to sell out the states
interest in railroad tracks, depots and
valuable Chattanooga land for six mill
lions of dollars. 1T that had prevailed
there would not be a grease spot left of
what the property had sold for, and the
state left minus of it's valuable assist
ance. 1t was understood at the time
that q powerful lobby was at work to
rob the state in the interest of greedy
railroads. But for the unsullied patriot
ism of 4 very few men and their deter
mination to save the state from spolia-
ton the plot would have succeeded.
Under existing circumstances the
road should go to the Atlantic ocean.
We have q large convict force to do
the digging and the state cannot en-
ploy its couvicts in q better way.
AS the road is extended southwark
the expense of tunnels and heavy grade

grand and golden opportunity for patri-
OTIS and clear-headed Legislators to seize
upon, and countless millions will bless
their memory for their good work.

WHAT WILL HIGH PRICE,

Puzzle King Traps Villa! Can You?
BY Sam LoYd

Following publication in The

for catching Villa, the famous
Mexican bandit, Lieut.. Gen. Miles
has issued a statement telling how
he would catch the bandit.

Sierra Madre mountains where we

similar to the refuge chosen by
Villa and his band" says Gen.

That, however,
Is the situation
today.
Are you going
to run that mo-
tor car this sum-
mer on gasoline
which is ap-
proac h / n G 80
cents, or are you
going to lay it
up?
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-03-29

Are you going to buy the new
car you have saved up for, or use
the money for something else?
On the answers to these ques-
tions rests the welfare of the mil
lions of men engaged in one way
or another in the automobile bus
mess.
The motor truck is just getting
started. The high price of gaso-
line will give il "a black eye.
The farm tractor looked, before
the bulge I'm gasoline, as if it
would make tremendous progress
this year. What farmer will buy
a tractor with gasoline ut 30
cents.
To be sure, it may not go to 30
cents, but it is already SO high
that THE WHOLE GAS ENGINE
BUSINESS is beginning to-, feel
the cold and clammy hand of
death at its throat.
Gasoline is more important
than steam. The automobile, mo-
tor truck and tractor are not the
most important.
GASOLINE is THE EVERY
DAY CHORE BOY AND HIRED
MAN.
Does Almost Everything.
IL pumps water, generates cleo
tricity, Eliminates by the Wells
bach mantle method, milks the
cows, heats the flatiron, cooks the
food, runs the churn, operates the
cream separator, turns the grind
stone, sprays our fruit and other
crops, cans our fruit and vegeta-
bles, runs the binder, and per-
forms millions of humble tasks of
which the man buzzing across the
face of nature in his motor car
never thinks.
All these things are a part of
the nations daily task.
High gasoline is as important
to the housewife on the dairy
farm as to YOU, with your new
car, which you may not run next
summer.
/ was glad, the other day, there
fore, when | read a geological
survey bulletin telling of the oil
bearing shales of Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming.
One Untapped Supply.
Do you know what shale is?
1t is that sort of rotten stone
which splits up and which is call
ed in many parts of the country
Slate Slate, however, is only
one kind of shale.
Much of it is brown, yellow or
slate-color, and the latter in some
cases comes pretty near being
coal.
There are billions of tons of
shale i'm these Western states,
which is literally soaked with oil
and gas.
There is enough of il in COlora-
do alone to furnish 10000, OOO,-
900 barrels of crude oil, which by
ordinary methods will yield p
600, 100000 barrels of gasoline,
and by the Rittmann method will
yield not less than 100000 900
barrels.
And the shale isn't owned by
Standard Oil-yet.
WHY DOESN'T SOME ONE
DEVELOP THIS NEW LINE OF
OIL, AND DO 1T QUICKLY?
There are gas engines in use
amounting to 50,000,000 horse
power in the United States.
This is perhaps twice the power

Next to the breakdown of the
farming interests, the depression
of gas engine business will be felt
keenest.
Let us hope that they will find
ways by which the scarcity may
be cured.

mann process is said to obtain
from crude oil two or three times
the amount of gasoline obtainable
by ordinary methods.
