HOBCOOD PROMOTED ID HANDLE SALES
 FUR MORELAND CO.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. Il. (Special) - A promotion in motor truck manufac- tpring circles that has attracted great deal of attention is that of Ted Hob good, field and export manager of the Moreland Truck company, who has been promoted to assistant sales man. ager of the company.
 He will have especial Jurisdiction over the northern California territory, and will make his headquarters in San Francisco.
 Hobgood is one of the best posted motor truck men in the country.
 He has made several trips to South America, Central America and Mexico for the Moreland concern, and has a broad knowledge of truck requirements l in those fields. The rapid expansion oi | the Moreland company necessitated a l very close contact with the branch anC dealer organization, and Hobgood's ap- l pointment is being received with en- | thusiasm by the entire Moreland ant dealer interests in California. | Hobgood was successful in putting ! Moreland trucks into every country il
 South and Central America, and he ha.
 done a great deal toward the education
 of the people there on the use of tn,
 motor truck in solving their transport ation problems.

ficers, and unless they have a record preceding them, are turned loose, on probation. Those who are hard boiled" that is have been up before the court two or three times before, are sent to the reform school.
 What is done with those thieves who are above the "teens?"
 How many of them are in Florence today? It is to be admitted that many men start prison lives by committing offenses like unto automobile thieV- ing. It has seemed to be against the policy of many judges to sentence a man to prison for committing such a crime as stealing automobiles. The general public will very likely agree to a great extent with the judges who give these thieves something besides prison sentences. But the public seems to have had it's fill of all this proba . ton bunk. It's about time to clamp the screws down on young fellows and make a shining example of them.
 Therefore. why not build the roads with them? 4 hundred or so husky young fellows working on the Black Canyon road could put 1t into splen- did shape in Q year or so. We would like to have the public express its sentiment on this question and will publish expressions each week in this section of the Republican.
 Something must be done and it must l be done immediately.
 Every shoulder should be put to the | wheel to make this city too warm foi | crooks. Let's start now.

PUT THE AUTO THIEVES ON THE BLACK CANYON ROAD
INDUSTRY IS B|G
 BOON TO RAILWAYS

That the automobile industry has been a great boon to the railways of the country, is shown by the figures given out by J. s. Marvin, general traffic manager of the National Auto mobile Chamber of Commerce. The vast amount of raw materials needed by the many automobile accessory and tire factories together with the deliv- cry of the finished products over the nation. indicates to some extent the support the railways receive from the allied automotive industries
 Including the shipments of automo- piles and automobile parts alone from the factories, the total freight bill on l this portion of the industry was $66,- 1 900, 900. of which S10,000.000 was on parts alone. sent to the various factory branches for assembly work. These 1 figures are based on the number of carload shipments of completely as- sembled machines and of parts ship ments for the year 1919.
 1 With the increased freight rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce 1 Commission, this figure is expected to 1 be increased by at least $22,000,000 making a total for this year of $S8,- 1 000,0 This figure should exceed 1 $100, 100000 with adequate car supply because in the year 1919, 1S0,000 motor vehicles were delivered to buyers on l their own power over the highways as far from the factories as 1000 miles. 1 in many instances. This number was equal to 10000 carloads.
 The car shortage and strike during the first nine months of 1920 forced the delivery on their own power of 440, 730 automobiles, comprising what would be 1S0,000 carloads. With 10 per cent of this number allowed for Inc 1,-f,x dalf freight charge of S100 per carload, as an average on the remaining IF ,000 carloads, the amount of freight reve- nue lost by the rail carriers through inability to furnish freight cars was nearly s12,000,000.
 According to the figures of the In terstate Commerce Commission, the shipments of finished automobiles trucks wheels and parts, from all sources will be near 5O0.000 carloads The railroads are required to report this as one of the principal items of traffic. and have done so since Jan uary 1. Figures for the first quarter which are available, indicate 126,624 carloads which do not include rubber tires or unfinished products.
 One of the attractive features oi this traffic from the railroads stand point, is the fact that motor car. ltlONS AdIECAy All ltdAItouu AplS lIDIl LII

These records look pretty good on their face However, they do not tell the whole story. oh. no! What about the cars that were recovered? What condition were they in?
 Practically every car recovered had been stripped. Tires were taken off, cushions taken, lamps, windshields, tire covers, and in many cases wheels. In some instances everything was gone except the motor, and that would have been taken had there been any ap- parent means at hand to lift it out of the frame.
 All of these accessories are being disposed of They are probably being sold right here in Phoenix, for the most part. The police department has done good work. They have recovered all but 22 of these stolen cars. all those remaining unrecovered being either 1 Dodges or Fords.

Increased Gasoline Supply Expected
 To LotUer Prices

Motorists are expecting a nation wide reduction in gasoline prices to follow the action of the Standard Oil companies of New Jersey and Louisi- ana which announced a drop of one per cent per gallon recently.
 Official government reports and figl ures of the oil authorities show that fuel production will break all records in 1920 The American Petroleum In stitute predicts a domestic oil output of 450000,00 barrels. besodes a Next can production of 125, 5,00e 900 barrels This means a gain of 19 per cent in the United States fields.
 In addition to the gain in production much of the fuel formerly wasted can be saved. The bureau of mines has pointed out how 300. GOO. GOO gallons of gasoline can be saved annually bv reducing evaporation of the fuel that is delivered through pipe lines to re fineries.
 Refining companies have augmented the general production due to greater 1 oil output by Introducing better cracking" processes to get gasoline ! from petroleum. As a result. in some | fields the gasoline output from the 1 same amount of oil is now doubled. | Heavy investments are being made ! by the oil companies not only in new machinery. but also in exploration. | drilling and research. Faced by a possible serious shortage early in the | present year. the petroleum has achieved degree of growth never before experienced within so short a ! period.
 One of the largest oil contracts on record has been closed between the l Mexican Petroleum company and the Standard Oil company of New York under which the former is to deliver to Standard of New York 150.00O, ,O0a 1 barrels of gasoline during 1921
 Added to the possibilities of the
 North American fields are those in
 Sonth America, Egypt and the East
 Indies Russia is also a great poten- tial source of oil.

MOTOMETER THIEVES ROUSE ? OLICE TO ACTION IN r RISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. II. (SpeciaD San Francisco is in the grip of mo- tometer thieves, the thefts of these ac- cessories having reached an alarming rate during the past few weeks. Ac- cording to police department officials, the work to a large extent is that of drug addicts. who steal the instruments and turn them into cash with which to purchase various drugs.
 On account of the fact that owners of motometers are hard to locate, con victions are few, and the police depart ment has advised all motorists having the instruments to scratch their license numbers on the inside of the meter This, it is expected, will go far towards checking the thefts.

Miller Says Leaky
 Tube Is Parasite

A leaky inner tube is the parasite of tire mileage. Even a slow leak will handicap q tire and slay the life of the casing. In a few miles, uninderflation will rob the tire of many miles of ser vice.
 Leaky inner tubes come from a va riety of causes It may be that the valve plunger is worn or sticks; the locknut at the base of the valve stem may work loose; or running flat may honewcomb the inside of the casing with tiny holes
 In running a tire soft or in chang ing it along the roadside, foreign sub stances get in between the rim and beads and work around next to the tube. Particles of rust off the rims also cut the tubes often times. Though these holes are, as general rule, too sma1 to be seen by the naked eye, vet under pressure they will leak enough air to let a tire down 15 to 20 pounds pressure in weeks time. according to Miller tire service experts.
 After driving a new car approxi- a thousand miles, the wise motorist will drain all the oil out of the engine, give ! it q thorough cleaning and refill with , fresh oil. This operation should be re- l peated every thousand to 1900 miles l service to clean out all particles of metal, grit and sediment that may have accumulated.
 Tires deserve similar treatment tO preserve their life and enable them to give maximum mileage. i At the end of every 2500 miles ser vice, a tire should be defIated, dis mounted, soapstone and grit removed
 and the inside of the easing washed
 with gasoline. After drying, the inside
 should be dusted with tale the tire mounted and the tube charged with ! fresh air.
 During this operation a close iuspeC- 1 ton should be made of the tread foI cuts and fragments of glass. according to Miller tire experts. The rims should be cleaned of rust and painted.

KING MOTORCO NOW REORGAN|ZED PLANS
 PRODUCTION BASIS

DETROIT. Dec. II. SpeciaD ganization of the King Motor company is practically complete and the com pany has leased large factory here into which it is moving.
 The new interests which have taken over the business of the former con cern has purchased approximately 90 per cent of the creditors claims. A conservative production is now being planned which will start upon the in- stallation of machinery and the ac- quirement of additional raw material needed.

ACID IN OIL

The reason why the oil in the crank case should be changed after every 500 miles is given by the makers of the Cleveland car. They say the poor grade of gasoline now used cannot thoroughly vaporize, with the result that part of it works down past the pistOns into the crankcase. This oil with the heated oil in the crankcase forms pricinpally sulphuriC acid which attacks all working Darts of the motor
 For this reason the cranlzcase should he drained often and new oil put in.

ECONOMICAL SPEED

Every vessel has what is called her economical speed. It is the one which she can keep up daily with the great est efficiency of the engines and least expenditure of coal. To double this speed requires four times the coal con- sumption. This also applies to auto mobiles. The economical speed is the most efficient.

OPENING THRoTTLE QUICKLY

If the accelerator pedal is pressed too suddenly the engine sometimes stalls. This is because the air valve yields readily to the increased suction, giving a sudden rush of air before enough gasoline can fe fed. To avoid this the throttle should be opened gradually.

SQUEAKING BRAKES

Dirt or grit working it's way into the fabric brake lining causes the brake to squeak. To clean out this grit a small amount of rosin and castor oil mixed into plastic condi- ton and applied to the brake bands will be effective

ENGINE AS BRAKE

The right way to use the engine as d brake is 10 shut it off and leave the gears in mesh so that the wheels drive the engine against the compression in the cylinders. Be sure that the throt- tie is closed.

THIS AFTERNOON
MOSCOW PIONEER BURIED AT
PORTLAND TODAY UNDER
AUSPICES OF THE ELKS.

The funeral of the late w. M.
Chambers, whose death occurred at
Portland, Saturday, was held in Port
land at 2:3O this afternoon under the
auspices Of the Elks. Mr.. Chambers
was a member of Moscow lodge No.

years ago. A telegram from Mrs:
Chambers to a Moscow friend stated
that "Will passed away Saturday. The
funeral will be held at 2:30 Tuesday
afternoon under the auspices of the
Elks," so it is supposed he will be
buried at or near Portland. The
Chambers family were pioneers OF
western Orgon, living nthe VILLAIN

his brothers were boys.
Several of the boys came to the "a
louise country in the very early days,
w. M, or "Will" as he was known
here and at Pullman, came to Moscow
and was employed as bookkeper for
w. J. Mcconnell, later United States
senator from this state and still later
governor of Idaho. After being in
Moscow a few years Mr. Chambers
went to Pullman where the firm of
Mcconnell & Chambers was organized
and a big mercantile establishment,
the largst in that section, was opened
with Mr.. Chambers as manager. The
firm was at one time the most ex-
