AUTOMOBILE FACTS
AND FIGURES

AND f1GDhES
An idea of the growth and import
ance of the automobile industry may
be gained from 1919 statistics re-,
Gently made public by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce, :"
says A. J. Vandefford, local dealer
in Chevrolet passenger and CONNER
cial cars
1.-The capital invested in 1919, not
including parts and accessories,
equalled $1,O15, 443,33S. This ex-
ceeds four times the capital of all
New York City Banks by s126,O43,~
1913.
"The number Of miles travelled
per passenger by automobiles last
year was 500 greater than by rail
road
Il, 974,01 new cars were produc
ed in 1919, and it is interesting to
note that this was more than enough
to give one to every child born the
same year in this country, t1,353,,
1922 and to supply the 1917 baby
crop of France, (343,519.)
1.-THE total number of vehicles in
use. in the United States on january
first, 1920, was 7,55S,S4S. This il
one for every fourteen persons in
the country. And if these cars were
placed in a row only four feet apart.
they would completely encircle the
earth.
"The introduction to these Facts
and Figures is interesting. First
among finished products" is the po-
sition of the motor vehicle industry
in the nation IS business. At the same
time it is one of the basic industries.
The motor car is the new transit of
the country, to which the time of
the individual and the handling OF
short haul freight has been attuned.
From comparative toy or novelty
it has become necessity.
Nearly one third of the output
is used in agriculture

THE SUGAR OUTLOOK

Production of sugar is slowly in,
creasing in our country and Europe
but consumption is also gaining and
prices of sugar will not fall much, is
the opinion of experts.
The increase in European acreage
is reported at 10 per cent over last
year while acreage in our country has
risen to over 100000 acres.
European beet acreage in 1894
totalled 5,434,395 which fell off dur
ing the war to 2,5OO,OO0 acres and
this accounts for the world sugar
scarcity.
Sugar production in Germany this
year rises from 100000 metric tons
in 1919 to LIS, 500 metric tons for
1920.
There should be some decline in
sugar prices but the world shortage
is far from being overcome.
The labor cost of making sugar
and high cost of all raw material will
prevent sugar ever going back to
pre-war prices.
Prohibition of the liquor traffic
and consequent increased use of
confectionery and sweets in all forms
is also a price factor.

CAN'T RUN RAILROAD
ON HOT AIR


Thousands of tons of newspaper,
train loads of ink and millions of
words have been used in discussing
the Railroad Problem" and the
common citizen is befogged in an
ocean of words, the main purpose OF
which seem to be to lead the mind in
circles around the real remedy.
Twenty years of drastic regulation
have killed railroad development and
prevented it from meeting the needs
of the country. While other business
has been allowed to develop in a nor
NAL manner the railroads have been
stunted by being denied sufficient
revenue.
The present car shortage problem
is the direct result of forced stagna-
ton in this industry and the whole
country is suffering as a result. Pc
litical theories will not pay for fire.
light cars and the operation of trains
any more than they will foot the bill
of a money losing store or factory
selling goods at less than cost.
The railroad problem is simple.
The carriers must make enough to
live or eventually die and industry
and the public will be the chief mour-
uers at the funeral for they will suf-
fer the greatest losses.

GETTING OUR FACTS

~ see by the paper ever stop
to think how much of our converse,
ton begins that way? When Mrs.
Smith starts in to debare Il social ar
fair, wedding, a birth or death.
she starts in by saying, 81 see by the
paper and when Mr.. Jones starts
in to talk politics or crops or any OF
the hundreds of live topics IN which
men are especially interested, he
always starts out by saying, Il see
by the paper"
But even when you do not say It,,
stop and think what a large part OF
every conversation is based on whav
people doing the talking nave read III
the paper For what we see in the
paper is the handspring or daily
conversation, and it governs a good
deal of our conduct. We nave, since
childhood, longed to keep up with
the times" and every sensible man
and woman relies upon the papers to
keep them there.
So, let's bring it close to home. II
the people have learned to look in
the paper for their knowledge OF
what is going on, they nave also
learned to look there for things that
concern them as individuals. Who's
sci ing the things they want to wear
and eat, and who's selling them a,
the most reasonable prices? How do
they find out? Simply by reading the
papers. And many time you have
heed them walk up to the counter,
and in starting to make a purchase
say, 81 see by the paper" Pin
them down and ask them how they
came to call for a certain brand OF
anything, and they will confess nine
times out of ten that they saw it in
the paper.
They expect facts in the paper.
Then isn't it worth while Tor you, Mr.
Business Man, to give them what
they are expecting ond what they
will be looking for when they get
the next copy of their paper? If
you II think this thing over you'll
recall mighty few people spending
money with you who are not news

CU3ERNATORIAL
INDUsTRIoUSNESS

When d. w. Davis in 1918 sought
the votes of his fellow Idahoans, he
promised that if elected he would
make his administration thoroughly
businesslike. Those who have follow
ed the trend of state affairs for the
past Is months declare that he has
kept his word.
Governor Davis has been response
BILE for reorganization of Idaho's
scheme of government which swept
obsolete, time-rusted machinery into
the discard and substituted for it a
highly efficient, workable system;
he has demanded the introduction
of modern methods in all of the de-
partments directly responsible to
him; he has demanded that all ac-
counts and records be kept with
scrupulous accuracy and, perhaps
quite as important as any of these
items, he has set for other admins
tration workers the splendid exam
pie of his own unflagging industri-
BUSINESS.
Since January 1, 1919, the gov
ernor has been definitely on the job.
He has taken no vacation, asked no
respite from his vitality important
duties, but has driven himself with
an energy which seems to be untiring
Despite the nervousness of his
tasks, however, he did not hesitate
to accept the presidency of the West
ern States Reclamation Association
when that honor was urged upon him
because he always has been pro-
foundry interested in the success of
the reclamation program. His sue
cessful assumption of this new res,
possibility is best evidenced by the |
strong reclamation planks contained |
in the platforms of the two great PAL
ties.
Well informed voters are demand, |
ing that this capable executive be
kept at his present tasks. There is
little likelihood that their insistent
requests will be unheeded.

COAL PRICES 10 ADVANCE
S-1-t4.

1t will be remembered that the
Enterprise at different times has call
ed attention to the necessity of the
people laying in their supply of win
ter coal Were we to publish all the
information that comes to us from
various sources regarding this i'm
portant matter it would require con-
siderable space, but the facts are
now evident of the real conditions
that we could foresee for some time,
Coal has now advanced so cents per
ton at the mine and on September 1
a rs % advance will be added to the
freight. The advance in freight plus
the war tax will increase the price
$1.13 per ton. However, the advance
may not be the most serious. A coal
famine is apt to occur. 1t is very i'm
perative that every family lay in
supply during this month. You will,
not only save s1.13 per ton but mayl
avoid being caught during the cold
weather entirely out.

THE LACK OF A
HICKORY HANDLE

Most of us recall what happened
"all for the want of horseshoe
nail.'' Perhaps that's the trouble
with American industry, if produce
ton is as low and the outlook as
bad as some prophets of evil would
have us believe. There's a lack of
hickory for axe handles. The chain
OF events is inevitable-no hickory,
no handle; no handle, no axe; no
axe, no lumber; no lumber, no box
cars; no box cars no transportation,
Or if you prefer you can follow the
axe handle into any other
line of production.-The Nations

The OUIPOSTS OF INDUSTRY
A single wolf has been known to
kill in six months one hundred and
fifty head of cattle, valued at $4,000.
In the spring of 1919 a mountain
lion was killed in Wyoming which
in one month destroyed $1,000 worth
of live stock. In less than three
months six coyotes slew 800 sheep
in Texas, valued at $4,000.
They live high, these maurauders
of the western range. A yearly esti,
mate of the loss in New Mexico show
ed that 8 per cent of the cattle, or
$4,000 head, and 10000 sheep had
gone to feed predatory animals
This means some $2O,O00,O0O worth
of live stock. Remember also that
before poisoning campaigns were
planned, rodents, such as prairie
dogs, squirrels and rabbits ate $780,
100000 worth of food crops and
the depredations of house rats, even,
exceeded total of more than $780,

Historian of the sky" was the title
bestowed on Angelo Secchi. the ia.
nous Italian astronomer. A quaint
little anecdote is told of him at the
time of his first visit to London. Not
knowing English, he wondered how
ne should find his way about, and con-
fided his doubts to his young compan-
ion, an Italian boy Of fifteen. Finally
they decided that the best plan would
be to go and look for an Italian. "Our
difficulties will then be met" said Sec
chi, and went straight for the British
museum. Entering the reading room,
he looked rapidly at the readers and
unhesitatingly accosted one of them
with, "Bon giorno! Lei italiano I"
He was not mistaken, and the italian
not only directed Secchl where he
wished to go, but became his host dur.

There are no fish wagons on this
coast, save few peddlers. II there
remain in Cecil any of the old guard
of fishermen who mourn the depart

and come to Oregon. There is plenty
of room, the fishing good, nor will

NEWPORT, OREGON, March 20
The run of herring in Yaquina Bay
this month has been so great that the
fishermen have been fishing only two
or three days week. The herring
are frozen and stored to be used
later in the year for halibut bait and
are not canned or picked for eating
purposes.
The capacity of the two ice plants
on YaQuina bay. totals about 100
tons, but it is possible to freeze only
nine tons day. The fishermen
work in pairs and receive / " cents
pound for their each. The hall
but fishermen buy these fish later
for 3 cents, the plants doing the
work only to protect the halibut in
dustry later.
George Harvig, lifelong fisher
man of two continents, states that
Yaquina bay herrings are known as
the fiat variety, having less fat than
the Norway herring, which cannot
be frozen. He says that Yaquina
bay herring could be picked or can
ned and that when he was at San
Pedro, CAL, he watched them can
ming small herring and labelling
them sardines.
The largest catch by any pair OF
fishermen in one night has been ten
tons, netting $500 to them. Catches
of five tons are common.
