Unparalleled Demand.

The demand for trucks for COM
nierclnl use THIS YEAR Is greater
than ALL the trucks built In this
country for private use In the last
FOUR YEARS. just as the freight
carrying business Of the railroads
entirely dwarfed the passenger car
rying business, 80 the demand for
the freight carrying motor truck Is
beginning to RUN AWAY from the
passenger carrying automobiles. 1t
is becoming so that man CAN
have pleasure car If he feels he
can afford 1t, but he MUST have a
FLEET Of Motor Trucks In his
business or he cannot hope to equal
the low costs of his competitors.
At the Chicago and New York
Motor Truck Shows just concluded
the Truck Company whose stock
we offer you was besieged by
Truck dealers who sought to place
orders for more trucks for THIS
YEAR than the company has manu-
facturcl In the last THREE years,
and their output has been large.

GASOLINE GOES

Cost of Production and Big
Shortage in Crude Oil Is
Given as Cause.

It's Is cents per gallon now
Thousands Of automobile driverC were
considerably surprised when the gaso-
line filling stations over the city in
formed them that the price a been
advanced but all the consumer could do
was to pay the increase or walk home.
The advance is from % cents per
gallon and according to local oil COM
pany officials, the increase is general
over the country. Several reasons are
advanced for the boost, foremost among
them being the cost Of production and
the shortage in crude oil.
Market conditions, speaking in the
broad sense OF the word, are RESPONSE
BILE for the increase" declared J. T.
Massey, OF the local branch OF
the Standard Oil company. There Is
an acute shortage in crude oil produc-
ton, tho cost OF manufacturing gaso-
line has increased greatly and there Is
no reserve stock, due in a large measure
to the enormous and unprecedented de-
mands Of the government during the
past two years.
"The rate 4 consumption far ex-
ceeds the rate Of production and am
unable to state whether there WIN be
a further increase to the consumer.
The gasoline market is very unstable
and the demand Is growing daily, while
the production is not keeping pace with
the consumption
A few months ago local consumers
were elated by a sudden drop in the
selling price Of gasoline and in the
course OF two weeks the price dropped
from q cents, where it had remained
for two years, to as low as IL cents
per gallon. The decrease was attributed
to a local war between the Standard
and the Gulf. interests and spread

Siberian City Beautiful.

It is the orthodox cathedral, dedi-
Gated by the late Emperor Nicholas in
1891, which looms up vast and impos-
ing, as the dominating structure of
the capital. On one side is the for
mer residence of the civil governor of
Omsk, nov used by the foreign office,
and on the opposite side of the square
is the imposing ministry of justice, as
yet uncompleted, The cathedral, which
is called the Church of the Ascension
of the Savior, is a vast edifice, capable
Of holding 1000 persons. During the
Saturday night and Sunday morning
services the brilliant and glittering
auditorium is crowded with people, all
standing, in accordance. with Russian
custom. The cathedral has a great
dome, surrounded by several turrets,
and has on one side a high tower of
finely sculptured stone, surrounded by
a spire.
In 1714 Peter /. sent a commission
to the Omsk region to erect a small
fortress on the bank of the river ON,
from which the eity later took its
name. In 1865 began the construction
of a new and more solid fortress. 1t
was in the form of a polygon with five
bastions. Beside 1t was erected later
the wooden prison, surrounded by a
high ~palisade, which served to imprison
political exiles, and in which Dostoiev-
sky spent his four years for having
beer in the Pougatchof riots. This was
the dead house which he later de-
scrlbed to the world in protest of the
horrors of Siberian Punishment.
