Thomas J. Mooney, preparedness pa

OF supply and demand" A.C. Bedford,
president Of the Standard Oil COM
pany. of New Jersey made the fol-
lowing statement today following an
nouncement Of the federal trade COM
mission report on gasoline prices.
The Standard OIL company of New
Jersey has maintained that the rise
In the price of gasoline has been due
to the natural operation of the law
Of supply and demand. The federal
trade commission now sustains that
contention in principle, and to large
extent, in degree for the commission,
finds:
Il. A marked decline during 1915
In the gasoline content of the crude
oil produced in that year.
''2. A rise in the cost of manufac-
ture.
%. An increased export demand for
gasoline.
The federal trade commission does
intimate that a portion of the rise In
the price of gasoline at least in some
sections of the country may be due
to- conditions which it characterizes as
artificial.
I'VE know of no artificial condition
whatever which has affected prices
and the fact is that the operations
of this company have been dictated
solely by sound and legitimate BUSH
ness considerations.
1T is significant that while the dis
solution suit the government adduced
proof that the Standard Oil companies
of that time controlled the sale of 81
per cent of the gasoline marketed in
this country, the federal trade COM
mission now finds that these same
companies now handle only IS per cent
of this business
THE fact is that the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey has obeyed
the decree in the dissolution suit as
affirmed by the supreme court. Our
observance of the decree has been I'M
der the constant supervision Of the de-
partment of Justice and it has made
no complaint against us. The federal
trade commission, in its report of an
exhaustive INJURY into our business,
does not intimate that any practice
or policy of this company is at va
rance either with the law or that de-
cree"

PATENT ISSUED
ON MINE IN ARCTIC

Juneau. Alaska. April PA patent
has just been issued by the federal
government without restriction to
the farthest north coal mine on the
North American continent. This mine
is located on the shore of the Arc
tic ocean, at place known as Cor
win Bluff north of Point Hope. The
mine is $50 miles north of the Arctic
circle and is one of the earliest de-
veloped coal deposits in Alaska, the
coal being used by whalers and reve-
nue. cutters years before the discov-
cry of gold at Nome.
: The mine is accessible from the shore
because the coal outcrops on the side
of the bluff. 1t was first utilized in
1S49 by the whalers and was mined
extensively in 1900 during the Nome
stampede. The patent was issued to
Charles Macintosh, present owner of
the claim.

CLAIMS MILL FIRE
PURELY ACCIDENTAL

American Falls, April 22.-Editor
Capital News: In your Sunday paper
you publish an account of the burning
of the American Falls flour mills and
elevator. A Mr.. Gregory, cashier of
the First National bank here, If / am
correct. gave you the impression that
the mills here were in importance next
to the big FIGURING concerns at Minne-
apolis and that the mill was full of
flour and the elevator full of wheat
The writer of this will not attempt
to dispute his statement, although it
should have come from H. c. Ehr-
Itch, as he has been the manager of
the concern for the last seven or eight
years. We all regret the loss of the
mill and its flour and wheat at a time
when these articles have jumped in
value that the man with a big fam
lily can hardly afford to buy it.
As to the insinuation of Mr.. Greg
DRY of the mill being fired by some
one from the foreign element around
American Falls, would say that to the
writer's knowledge this foreign ele-
ment consists mostly of farmers of
German origin, but mostly born and
reared in Russia and Mr.. Gregory
should know that better and more
law abiding people do not exist any
where; they are the farmers who
raise most of the wheat around here,
who sell a good percentage of it to
the same mill that was destroyed by
fire the other night. They do most
of their banking at the bank of which
Mr.. Gregory is clerk or cashier. His
remarks. therefore, are surprising.
AS the fire started somewhere on
top or under the roof of the mill
there would have been ample time to
carry all the flour out of the struc-
ture. had some one given the order in
time, and not waited until 1t was i'm
possible to save not more than part
of it.
