ed that shooting will be excellent dur

GASOLINE SHORTAGE
LOOMS IN STATE, CITY
HAS PLENTY FOR YEAR
Oregon. Law is Waived to Avert
Famine; Report to Officials
Says Quantity Sufficient for
Only Four Days.

Pendleton Is not suffering from
gasoline shortage, according to an
nouncement made today by the
Standard Oil Company which says
that this city has enough gasoline on
hand to last until next year.
However, Portland reports that
Oregon is facing a rather serious gas
oiine shortage. This does not mean
that famine conditions have been
reached and the oil companies hope
with the cooperation of state officials
to prevent one, by waving the Ore
gon law which requires that gasoline
sold have specific gravity of 56, and
permit its salye when testing 54 1-2,
specific gravity.
The permission to waive the law
was given by w. A. Dalziel, deputy
state sealer of weights and measures,
and will be for 16 900 barrels of gaso-
line Under the order issued by Mr..
Dalziel and concurred in by Governor
Olcott, Attorney General Brown and
State Treasurer Hoff, 1t will be neces-
sary for the oil companies again to
appeal to the deputy sealer before ad-
ditional quantities of low gravity can
De Drought INTO oTeBoH.
Supply sfny Last -Four Days.
Reports reaching officials in Port
land yesterday indicate there is only
sufficient gasoline in Oregon to sup
ply the demand for four days and that
1t will be impossible to obtain more of
the product before the arrival of the
next boat from the refineries on Sep
teInber "a. With the shipment of 16.-
O0g barrels of oil into Oregon from
Seattle however, II is believed the sit
uatIon " i'll be relieved and that a nor
mai supply will be on hand by Octo-
bor /.
although Oregon is the only state
on the Pacific coast having a law
against the sale of gasoline testing
less than Sc gravity. the shortage is
said TO be general and extends into
California where the oil is refined.
Law Waived to Meet Emergency.
In. allowing the Standard oil com
pany and the Union Oil company to
ship gasoline into oregon which does
not comply with the provisions of the
state law. the officials simply have in
mind relieving the emergency and
saving automobile owners and opera
tors of oil engines the Inconvenience
of tieing up their machines.
The oil companies will be made to
show that they are making every rea-
sonable effort to supply the demand
and are not attempting to evade the
oregon act for monetary advantages
Records in the offices of the secre-
,ary of state show that the monthly
gasoline consumption in oregon is g.
100000 gallons.
