 OF GASOLINE SUPPLY

The Fuel Administrator issues the following
 The United States Fuel Admins tration. through Mark l.. Requa, director of the oil division, has is eued the following statement in re- gard to gasoline:
 Plans for Possible Storage.
 Up to the present time there hrs been sufficient supply of gaso- line to meet all requirements, but in order to be prepared for any s''ortage should it arise plans are being considered by the oil divjs- fen of the Fuel Administration, in cooperation with the automobile industry and the national petroleum war service committee, for the pur- pose<of determining the most satis- factory methods of gasoline conser- yation.
 Pleasure Cars and Motor Boats.
 It is not expected in any event that it will be necessary to restrict normal consumption for freight ve- hicles. and provided there is a req sonable conservation by all concern ed, it may not be necessary to se- riously interfere with pleasure cars and motor boats.
 ''lt must be borne in mind. how ever, that the paramount use for gas0line is for war purposes, all of which requirements will be sup piled. The volume of this will largely govern the situation.

 Good Time.

 They stopped at the Road Com mission camp and walked over the new Government road. On their re- turn trip, owing to the fact that there were so few bergs in front of the glacier they visited its face and approached within 200 yards, where they witnessed two great shunks tumble into the bay and rock the boat.
 The trip up the river was enjoyed in sunshine, for which the Taku Is famous, and the swiftly changing views of scenery containing glaciers, great shoulders of mountains, water falls, flowers and shrubbery Orient al in it's luxuriance. The people re- turning were loud in their praise of the scenery. Among them were MT. and Mrs. Wm. Britt MT. and Mrs. Agnew, R. B. Stevens, w. State, A. J. Ficken, c. R. Duffy, James McCloskey, k.

AMERICANS DISAPPEAR IN MEX
ICO.
Various Theories Advanced as to The
Fate that Overlook Them.

Juarez, Mexico. Aug. 31.-This is
the port OF missing men. Many Amer
leans have crossed the shaky, wood
en- bridge to this little adobe town
who have been never seen nor heard
of again. The files of the United
States Consulate here are filed with
letters from mothers, wives and other
relatives asking for information
about men who have disappeared
somewhere in Mexico.
Many were killed fighting with the
various revolutionary forces during
the six years war. Others were mur-
dered for their money on the Gale
Dia hlo-Street Of the Devil-or We're
ki!,ed by bandits who rove over the
country enforcing the law of the SIX
shooter. Still others are living out
their lives in some mountain settle
ment under assumed names, often
with native families.
Tom Kingsberry's name was the
latest addition to the long list o.
those men missing in Mexico" !"
Kingsherry was foreman for the Pa
Tomas Land and Cattle Company, Of
Los Angeles. He left for an inspec-
ton OF the cattle ranches west Of
here and has not been heard from
since MeXicans here whisper Of a
fued existing between the Palomas
cowboys and Jose Ynez SalaZar's
band of outlaws Salazar was killed
at the headquarters ranch of the Pa
tomas Company. That was where
Kingsberry disappeared a year later.

never identified. Many Americans
are known to have been executed in
