HAS own RUBBER
PLANTATION To-
make own TIRES
United States Rubber Co.
Takes Advantage Of Hav-
ing Uniform Supply Of
Raw Material.

Now that the government has TAX
en- off all restrictions on the impor-
tation Of crude rubber, the United
States Rubber company, manufac-
surers of United States tires, is
able to place at the disposal of its
customers the peculiar advantages
made possible through the owner
ship of the largest rubber plantation
n the world.
The establishment of its great
plantations in Sumatra gives the
United States Rubber company q
unique place among the large rubber
manufacturing concerns in the
world. With keen Yankee foresight
the company acquired its plantation
nearly ten years ago, and now has
20 square miles of rubber trees under
a state of cultivation that would de-
light any skilled orchardist. That the
company produces its own rubber
has very distinct interest for every
user of United States tires
Difference in Service.
The motoring public has for a
long time been puzzled by the lack
of uniformity in tires. Two tires
bought at the same time from most
reputable manufacturers have not
shown the same performance in
service, the difference amounting, in
many instances, to hundreds Of
miles. The tire manufacturers were
also puzzled at first, but soon locate
ed the trouble in the lack of uni
fornity in the crude rubber they
were buying.
Then began a scientific battle
waged in the factory laboratories to
overcome the differences which have
always existed in the same type of
rubber grown in different localities.
1t was found that there were differ
ences even in separate lots of rub
Der from the same locality, and in
tracing the causes various factors
were encountered. The most impor-
tant was the difference in methods
used for coagulating the latex from
the trees. and in handling the coag-
ulated rubber thereafter.
strange MixtufeS.
Rubber being q vegetable sub
stance and containing considerable
proteid matter. decomposition can
occur if great precautions are not
taken. Some of the rubber produc-
,ers realized this while others did.
not. 1t is easy to see that when the
cases Of crude rubber from different
localities reached the markets and
were intermingled, the buyers were
getting strange mixtures.
The United States Rubber. COM
pany recognized this situation in the
early days of the tire industry and
at once set its perfectly equipped
laboratories and factories to work
on the problem. The result was that
it was proved that no process ex-
lists BY which the usual market
grades can be blended so as to pro-
duce crude rubber uniformity. The
decision was then reached to central
the quality of the material from its
source, and vast areas in Sumatra
were purchased, put under cultiva-
ton and rubber trees planted,
Today the purchasers of United
States tires can buy tires which are
identical in quality and performance
because uniformity of crude rubber
is absolutely controlled.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK N
VALLEY GOOD--SCOTE
Passenger Agent Of 5. P. Is
Optimistic Over Crop
Prospects.

Among recent visitors in Salem were
General Passenger Agent John NJ Scott
and General Freight Agent II. A. Hin
shaw Of the Southern Pacific, who stop
ped off here in course Of a tip Of in
spection' through the Willamette valley
They expressed themselves as being
gratified with the prospective crop con
ditions and the business outlook in all
parts of the territory, as revealed to
them In numerous conferences with ship
pers, manufacturers and business men.
The indications are that In spite Of re-
ported fruit failures on account Of frost
and pests. there is going to be
huge crop Of small fruits and orchard
fruits. while the unusual rainfall over
the valley has insured vast crop of
forage and grain. Consequently the rail-
road representatives are looking 10,
ward to heavy tonnage from this dis
trict. They comment especially upon
the fact that the slack in building ana
business enterprise which has marked
the war period is now being taken up,
which means the employment Of sucn
a number Of men that the year 1919 is
likely to be duplicate Of last year in
the demand for LAHORE In many lines
there are already more calls for laborers
than men looking for jobs.
Mr.. Hinshaw has collected statistics
from western Oregon cities oil the way
down TO Ashland as to crop conditions,
aud he finds that. with the possible ex.
eeption of prunes and cherries, which
have dropped very badly in sections,
there is prospect of fruit crop that
runs all the way from normal up to
$50 per cent. In some localities the
new orchards coming into bearing will
make II for the loss In crops In tho old
orchards. One feature which Mr.. Hin
shaw notes especially il the big increase
in the corn acreage, which runs as high
as SO per cent in some localities. There

COLONEL MAY QUITS
AS ADJUTANT TODAY
Head Of State Military Forces
Sends Resignation To
0lcOtt.

Col. John L. May has submitted his
resignation as adjutant general for the
state of Oregon to Governor 0lcott to
become effective June |. On that date
NE will return to his position with the
Southern Pacific railroad company and
reenter civil life for the first time
since the United States entered the
war. When Colonel May was appointed
adjutant general Governor OlcOtt re-
quested the United States railroad ad-
ministratiOn officials in charge Of the
Southern Pacific division out of Port
land to grant him a three months leave
of absence that he might be placed in
charge of the national guard forces of
the state and the request was granted
The leave Of absence expires on June
/ and for that reason Col May has
asked TO be retired.
In submitting his resignation Col.
May also filed with the governor a
report of his stewardship of the ma
tional guard since he assumed com
mand April l., 1919.
Since taking over the guard the ad-
iutant general cured defects in all the
companies which action allowed them
to be recognized by the federal govern
ment and organizing Of the remaining
units was at once taken up and a com.
plete regiment Of infantry organized
las well as two companies of engineers,
uniformed and made ready fol federal
and recognition.
Col. May, among his recOmmenda.
tiOns, urges strongly the removal Of the
adiutant generals office from Port
land to Salem, basing this principally
upon the necessity Of praeticing rigid
economy in the handling Of the guard
funds. He points out that these funds
have been materially reduced and that
the practice Of retrenchment must be
carried on carefully and the removal
of the guard offices to the capitol he
cites as one of the practical means for
doing 50. He states that it would save
considerable money in rentals, that
the adiutant generals offices Of near
" all Of the states are located at the
capitol and "there is no matter Of ad
ministration or supply that cannot be
handled just as well if the office was
located at the capitol He also states
that IL would better coordinate busi.
ness of the adjutant generals s office
iand keep it in closer touch with the
commander in chief. In making the
Recommendation he concurs in the
recommendation of the adjutant gener
