Dealers Deny War and
SayDepression Caused
By Over Supply
(Rv The Associated Press.o

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 26-Auto-
mobilists of the country are enjoying
the lowest gasoline prices Of the year.
In scores of cities motorists are paying
from 3 to 5 cents a gallon less than
the peak prices in the middle of the
year. The average price in represen-
,tative cities is still about five cents a
gallon above the level hit last summer
during the trade depression.
New York dealers deny that war is
on, though they admit that there is a
fight to obtain all business offered.
Price slashing is attributed solely to
over production, despite the heavy de-
mand.
Shipments eastward from the Paci-
fic coast, where over production first
manifested itself, have depressed the
oil business in the mid-continen. al
field.
c. O. Wilson in the current issue OF
the Oil and Gas Journal says:
"The increased recovery of gasoline
from crude petroleum, the accumulation
of gasoline stocks in coastal territories
land the failure of many refiners to ad-
just their production to slackened de-
mand in their territories are the prin-
cipal factors in the weakness Of the
motor fuel market

COST OF DAMS
in BIG PROJECT
five MILLION
u. S. to be Asked to Ap-
propriate Sum for Con-
troll Of Canadian, Meet
At AiIIarillo Told
lBy the Associated Pressl

AMARILLO, Tex. Aug. 2G.-Fstimate
of the combined cost of the four dams
in the Panhandle and the one at Logan,
New Mexico. on the South Canadian
river has been placed by war department
engineers at approximately S5.00000O,
A. S. Stinnett, Texas commissioner for
the Canadian and BED rivers said today.
Opinion was freely expressed by num-
Der of the commissioners that the Sixty
ninth congress would appropriate this
sum for the dams. Mr.. Stinnett said
the engineers figured a natural spill
way for the Potter county dam would
save 100000 in construction costs
About three hundred yards above this
proposed dam site is canyon which
in time of flood would divert much of
the water to the side and would serve
as a natural spillway. The canyon flows
into the river about a mile below the
dam site.
Mr.. Stinnett said that he had been
advised by engineers of the war depart
ment that should congress appropriate
the S5,O00,00O, work would start imme-
diately on all the dams, and all would
be completed within two years. Gov
ment officials realize that the country
can no longer afford to allow Oklahoma
to rest in it's present great flood hazard
from the South Canadian river, he
said Competent engineers have as
sured me that the building Of the four
dams in the Panhandle and the one at
Logan would relieve Oklahoma from the
menace Of the Arkansas and its tribut-
aries. Relieving the Arkansas Of the
vast flood flow of the South Canadian
undoubtedly would go great way to-
ward remedying the situation"
Should congress appropriate the mo-
ney for the dams, funds for promoting
the irrigation angle # the project in
the Panhandle and rsstern New Mexico
likely would be fur ,ished by local ir-
rigation districts, the commissioners
were agreed toda-- Mr.. Stinnett e&

Mr. Washington described the various
