Answer. Superior Oil CORPORATION
is we'll managed company, being
operated and controlled by the Allan
tic Refining Company, a Standard Oh
concern. The company expects to
maintain the old dividend rate under
the new capitalization. Nevertheless
the shares cannot be considered a
good investment, for the business of
producing petroleum is hazardous.

Texas Pacific Coal and Oil

ouestion-Can you give me any informa-
ton about Texas Pacific Coal and OH?
Last March read article in a financial
magazine that this stock, while highly
speculative. was one Of the best on the
list. and that, as time would show ii was
worth many times its price WHICH was
then about 90. l notice, however, that the
price is now few times less than its then
market price-P. NJ.
Answer-W atching the market course
of Texas Pacific Coal and Oil stock evi-
IDENTIFY has demonstrated to you that it
is speculative. There is nothing to
show that it will not continue so. For
reasons like these we do not advise the
purchase OF oil stocks for investment.
Par value of the stock is $40. The
company has paid dividends of varying
amounts of cash and stock since 1898
The net income increased from Sl78,-
S54 in 1915 to S5,409,000 in 1919, when
81, 400 900 dividends were paid on the
$4,000, 900 outstanding common stock.
The company owns large producing
coal, oil and gas propertie, in Texas.

pany is said to be showing better earn
lngs. One fact which might delay the
resumption Of common dividends is
that additional plant facilities will be
required. Such facilities will probably
be hnanced from earnings. While spec
ulative we regard the common stock as
having considerable in the way of pos
slbilities. United Alloy Steel Corpora
tlon showed decreased earnings for
1919, only $416 a share being earned
There was considerable cancellation of
government orders, and again. the
company was adversely affected by the
coal and steel strikes of last year. The
company makes public its income ac-
count only once a year. so it is not
possible to form a very intelligent
opinion regarding the stock. 1t is spec
ulative, and the company. like many
others, has been going through the
transition period from war to a peace
basis.

Allied Occupation
OF Ruhr Basin
Being Considered

Paris, April 19.--Allied occupation
of the Ruhr basin in western Ger
many is being considered by allied
,premiers gathered at San Reno, says
the Petit Parisien. Premiers Lloyd
George, Millerand and Nittl have
agreed, in principle, on the necessity
of forcing Germany to disarm, the
newspaper declares, but were not
agreed as to the best means of pro-
cedure
There was a certain GOODNESS be-
tween M. Millerand and Mr.. Lloyd
George at the opening of the meeting
but 1t vanished in a short time and
utmost cordiality prevailed at the
close, according to the Matin.
Demands that the allies, during the
San Reno meeting, resist all attempts
to revise the terms Of the Versailles
treaty with Germany are made by
Raymond Poincare, former president
of the French republic in an article
published by the Matin. France and
Belgium have been deprived of guar
antees by the failure Of Great Britain
and the United States to put the tri-
partite convention into operation, he
says, and the, league aof nations is as
yet without means of action.
M. Millerand says the allied gov
ernments should support France
against Germany and asserts that
France and Belgium could not have
done otherwise than advance east Of
the Rhine when German regulars in
vaded the. neutral zone In the Ruhr
basin.

Steamer Run To
Portland Begun
With Trip Today

Marking a new era in the transpor-
tation history of the city. the Steamer
Grahoma, operated by the Portland
Navigation company made its initial
trip from Salem to Portland, leaving
here at eight o'clock this morning. The
steamer was heavily laden with mer-
chandise and produce, and bore sever
al passengers.
The Grahoma will make one trip
daily from Salem to Portland, and will
return from Portland to this city, leav-
ing at Municipal dock No. 2, foot of
Oak street, in Portland, daily except
Saturday, at D. m. There will be no
boats on Sunday. The steamer leaves
here each day except Sunday at a.
mi arriving in Portland at p. M. 1t is
under the command of Captain Clyde
Raabe.
The Portland Navigation company is
founded ON Portland interests, and is
headed by Dean Vincent, president of
the Portland Trust company. The
steamship sevice from Portland to Sa-
lem was begun primarily to relieve the
freight handicaps imposed by car shor-
tages and to utilize the Willamette riv-
er as waterway so that the state
might continue to draw federal aid for
improvement of the stream. Each year
's55, 900 is allotted to the Willamette
river for improvements SO long as the
river isused as waterway for vessels.
The dock here was donated oy sne
Chas. X. Spaulding Logging company
and Is located at the foot of Trade
street. 1t was through the efforts of
the Commercial club, and its manager,
T. E. McCroskey, that the dock was
procured and driveway facilities were
made to the deck. The deck Wb
open at Z a. m. to receive freight and
will close at 6 p. m.
