Many users Of gasoline consider the gravity test the
true measure of it's value.
But The United States Government - through it's
National Bureau of Standards at Washington, has
said that this test tells nothing of the power of gasoline
This authority states that the only true test Of gasoline
found in it's vaporizng and conclusive qualities, and
these can only be determined by it's boiling points,
Because combustion starts at the lowest boiling points
and continues on up to the high boiling points, forming
the complete uniform chain of combustion necessary to
get the right results from your gas. Leave out one
]ink-boling pont-and the power chain IS broken.
You require low boiling points for easy starting medium
boiling points for quick, easy acceeraton, and high
boiling points for speed and power.
1t only possible to get this continuous chain Of boil
ING points combustion points power points, from
straight distilled gasoline. Mixtures always have miss
ing links
Conoco Gasoline is straight distilled all refinery pro-
duct and will measure up to all real power requirements

Then there were five who each received two votes, so that if those receiving the highest number of votes desire to qualify for the Coun- cil it would make only five, while the law provides for seven.
 There is no provision in the law for the casting of lots, or the deter imitation of which of the others vot- ed for would be elected This is a defect in the law which ought to be remedied and which will no doubt be done at this session of the Legis- lature. If it is the law that the old Council must hold their office until their successors are elected and qualified, and it is also the law that those five receiving the highest mum bcr of votes should be declared elect ed when they qualify the question then arises, whose place should the five members take and which five members of tho old Council should give way to those five receiving the highest number of votes at the cleo ton of April 1st. As stated, the law makes no provision for such an emergency.
 'It has been called to my atten- ton that MT H. F. Murray, who is a member of the old Council, left Douglas some time last Winter, and that his office had been declared va cant, under the provisions of Chap ter 34 of the Session Laws of Alas ha. of 1915, and that Mir. Loomis had been elected to fill his place. It has heen suggested that perhaps MT. Cashen, the man who received tho highest number of votes at the last election. and who qualified in order to get his name on the official bal lot, should take the place of MT. Lo0mis. but I do not believe this is the law, and I can see no reason why he should take MT Loomis' place any more than he should take the place of any other member of the Council.
 Chapter 34 of the Session Laws of 1915. above referred to, provides as follows:
 ''In the event that any mem
 Der has failed to attend the
 meetings of the Common Coun-
 cil for a period Of ninety con
 tinuous days of his term, the
 Common Council may declare q
 vacancy therein, and the same
 shall be filled by the Common Council, the person, chosen to
 fill such vacancy, holding until
 successor is elected at the next annual election and quail

SITUATION AT

 SEEMS SETTLED
Legal Advice Rendered and Old City Council Holds Over for Another
 Year.

DOUGLAS, April 8-The neW-old Council met last night at the City Hall for the first business meeting of the new term.
 Mayor Smith opened the meeting and after a short speech of welcome touched friefly on the situation, stat ing that he had been busy with le- gal advice in the matter since the election situation first arose and submitted the following communica- tions from Judge Robert w. Jen nings and Attorney H. L. Faulkner. Mayor Smith first wrote Judge Jen- nings and in answer to his communi- cation received the following reply:
 Juneau, April l, 19l9 "Mr Elmer E. Smith,
 Mayor of the City of Douglas
 Douglas, Alaska.
 "Mr dear Mr Smith:
 Yours of the 31st. ult., inform ing me that you have "rather a queer status of affairs in Douglas for the coming election for the City Council, April 1, 1919," and asking me a certain question as to the identity of the person who should qualify as City Councilman, is at hand, and in reply l have to say:

 vacancy shall also be declared
 ii a member die, or if person
 elected a member of the Com
 mon Council fai or refuse to
 qualify within thirty days after
 his election
 Under the provisions of this law, the man who is elected by the Couii- cil to fill a vacancy holds office un- til his successor is elected and qual- flies, in just the same manner as the other members of the Council
 hold their offices.
 "In my opinion, the proper course for the Council to take, under the circumstances, is for the old Coun- there had been no election at ali. I do not believe under the law any ether course could be taken, and l think in the interests of the town this should be done. Of course. if any member of the old Council should resign at the present time, MT Cashen could qualify and take his place, but unless this is done, think the proper course would be for the old Council to continue in office.
 "You will note by the statute which I have quoted above, that af- ter thirty days have expired and no one who claims to have been elected shall have qualified, or attempted to qualify for Councilman, there can

 Town of Douglas.
 Douglas, Alaska
 Upon the request of Mayor Smith, I have examined into the results of the election held at Douglas on April 1st., and submit for your con sideration. the following:
 'It appears that at the election here on April 1st, number of citi- zens of Douglas were voted for, al though only one of those receiving votes had qualified in accordance with the provisions of Section 16 of Ordinance No 55 This section, however, was passed simply for the purpose of getting the names of the candidates for the Council at eacE election upon the official ballot, and it did not prevent the voters from writing the name Of any candi- Giate whom they may chose upon the ballot.
 The law. however, provides for the election of seven members of the Common Council, and it provides that the seven receiving the highest number of votes cast, should be de clared elected It also provides that the Councilmen elected at any cleo ticn shall hold office for the term of one year AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE ELECTED ANh QUALIFIED.
 "It appears that at this election there were only five of those vot ed for who received the highest number of votes, namely:
