The Locker Boys Tournament
was one of the finest ever put on
by our local opponents of the Scot
fish game. Some of the players
performed as expected, some way
off, some did better. OF course
their wives were there to cheer
them on, some sisters and mothers
too, but there wasn't much for
them to do but sigh at bad shots,
smile at good ones and close their
eyes when their heroes were get
ting out of tough spot or put
ting. AS you know, golf is a game
where spectators must be quiet.

SOUTH END NEWS
BY GEORGE w. WOOD

In the South End where the
Japanese are thickly settled, you
can see news boys of that race,
loaded with Japanese newspapers
every week for delivery. It would
be a proud feeling to us If we
could see several of our race de-
livering our local newspaper every
week. The editor of this paper
claims that sales are increasing
weekly. That is good news. Let
us resolve from now on to increase
the circulation by subscribing.
The bigger the circulation a news
paper has, the easier 1t Is to in
crease its size. Both help in ad-
vertising and 1t is the advertising
that will make 1t possible for the
paper to employ more people. This
paper Is trying to print first class
news-it is our voice-so let's be-
gin now by subscribing and help
our race to be representative.
There is one spot that Is typical
to Seattle that probably some old
residents here have never visited.
That is the skid road on Occiden-
tai between Main st. and Yesler
Way. 1t is a sightseeing spot for
tourists for 1t is here daily you can
see the Redest of Radicals upon
soap boxes kicking about every
thing that goes on in the world
All races are represented. Mr..
Dial can often be seen with an au-
dience around and he keeps them
listening to him. Do not fail to
have your visiting friends visit the
skid road.
The Owls Club had their regular
monthly social meeting last Fri
day, a big Crab Gumbo which is
always free. Many members and
friends were out.
1t Is appalling to know how ma
ny people there are who never
write home to their relatives while
they are away enjoying themselves
and good health. They never talk
of their native home. But when
they become sick and helpless they
want to go home-generally COD
and place that burden on the folks
to whom they have never written
or sent a dime. Some live in a
community for years and when
they die no one knows whom to
notify. Why not write a letter
home now? Your folks would like
to hear from you.

Pan-American Airway
And Santa Fe Plan
Big 0ut|ays
$4,000, 900 to Be Added
To Huge National
Spending Program
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-The Atchi-
son, Topeka g. Santa Fe Railway
and Pan-American Always Corp.
today added S16,OOO,O0O to the big
sums to be spent in this country for
railway equipment, ships and air
craft.
Capital expenditures in these
fields have attained the largest scope
since 1929, stimulated by wartime
expansion of business. Jobs and
pay rolls are expected to increase as
industry gets into stride on the fill
ing of orders on its books.
The Santa Fe program calls for
an outlay of sl0,000,O00. including
purchase of 1900 box cars, 200 bal
last cars, $50 gondolas, $50 refriger-
ator cars and 100 fiat cars.
Pan-American Anyways, operating
one of the worlds largest air trans
portation systems, including Pacific
and Atlantic trans-ocean clipper
services, announced plans for SPEND
ing about SC, ,0OO, 900 for six additional
Boeing clippers and 13 Douglas
transport planes.
c. v. Whitney, chairman of Pan
American Airways, said:
The outbreak of hostilities in
Europe, resulting both in the cur
tailment of competitive foreign
subsidized airlines and serious re-
striction of normal steamship serv-
ices in the international field, has
greatly advanced the need for in
creased facilities for passengers,
mail and express on Americas inter-
national air routes.
These expenditures would add to
large backlogs of business for man
equipment. Rail buying in recent
weeks is estimated to have totaled
more than $150,0O0, 900.
Pan-American plans to raise the
funds through issuing rights to
stockholders to subscribe to addi-
tional shares. Santa Fe, it was indi-
Gated, may sell equipment trust Ger

|F.S T.. T.. 10 Purchase
Apples Because Of
Large Surplus
Quantity to Be Token
From Market Not
Revealed by Agency
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Surplus Commodities Corp
announced today that because of q
prospective large surplus 1t would
buy apples from growers for dis
tribution among relief families.
The F. S. C. c. did not indicate
the quantity it plans to buy. The
minimum grade to be bought is
combination U. S. No. and U. S
utility or an equivalent State grade
Under the purchase program
which was recommended by grower
representatives recently, producers
will divert less desirable grades
Of their fruit into commercial by
products.
Commenting on the purchase
program, Porter r. Taylor Of the
Agriculture Departments division
Of marketing and marketing agree
ments said:
'The apple industry is confronted
with difficult marketing problems
this year because of the large crop,
heavy production of competing
fruits and the uncertainty of the
export situation. The buying of
surplus apples for relief use is de-
signed to supplement the efforts
which growers themselves are willing
to make in order to prevent serious
losses"
Commercial production of apples
this year is estimated at slightly
more than 103 900, 900 bushels, Is per
cent in excess of last years pro-
duction and per cent more than
the average production for the last
10 years. In recent years an average
of approximately 100000 bushels
has been exported. Exports this year
are expected to be curtailed because
of good fruit crops in foreign coun-
tries and the unsettled European
situation.

Humble Oil Posts
Price Increases on
Texas Crude
Further Strengthening
Of Market Indicated
By Lutest Move
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. IA
further strengthening of the upward
trend of the crude oil price structure
in Texas was indicated yesterday as
Humble Oil 8, Refining Co. posted
increased prices for crude in a num-
ber of Texas fields.
The changes were made effective
at 7 am. yesterday.
The new price bulletin does away
with the Scent spread for each de-
gree of gravity on gravities below 26
degrees on Gulf Coast, Anahuac-
Dickinson, Refugio and Miranda
crudes and substitutes 2-cent
spread for each degree of gravity.
The effect of this is to increase
the price of 25-degree gravity crudes
of these grades I cent a barrel and
increase the price with each degree
of lower gravity to a top of 7 cents
barrel for 20 degrees and below.
In addition, it was stated, due to
improvement in the market for fuel
oils, the price of Miranda and Re-
fugio crudes has been raised S cents

Sinclair Prairie Acts.

TULSA, Okla, Oct. 3 (P.-Sin-
clair-Prairie Oil Marketing Co. an
nounced it would pay fiat price
of $11O a barrel for crude oil pur-
chased in East Texas.
The company had been paying
from So cents a barrel for 33-degree

gravity and above.
Gasoline Prices Stable.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3 LP).-Although
gasoline is ranked with men and
munitions as among the vital sinews
OF the present European war, oil men
insist there will be no such runaway
gasoline prices this time as were
seen In the World War a quarter OF
a century ago.
Gasoline at garage pumps in 1914
was selling retail to the motoring
public in New York City at Is cents
a gallon. BY early 1916 it had risen
to q cents. Along came the Armis-
tice in 1918, but gasoline kept on
going up, selling as high as SO cents
in 1920.
Ordinary automobile gasoline ir
New York today sells at IL cents a
gallon, plus cents State and Fed
eral taxes and cent city tax, or II
cents gallon at the service station
pump.
Reserves Held Ample.
While there has been some stiff
fening of the tank wagon price
rises totaling a half-cent or more
since June-oil men insist domestic
crude oil supplies. flow and reserves
are ample to take care of needs for q
long time to come, and that only a
long and bitter war abroad will bring
more than small mark-ups in service
station gasoline selling prices.
Skyrocketing of gasoline in the
World War period, statisticians point
out, was due partly to the phenome-
nal domestic expansion in use of
automobiles.
Passenger car registrations at the
end of 1914 stood at 1926, ,739 cars.
and by 1918 the number had risen to
5,621,6l7. In 1920 registrations ex-
panded still further to 8,225 ,859 cars.
Throughout the war period gaso-
line was broadly siphoned off for
military uses, but an even heavier
drain was the widening popularity
OF the motor car, expanding gasoline
takings just about as fast as new
ref1neries were erected.

Copper Volume
| Sets Record in
September
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Needs of
the Nations fast-moving industrial
machine accounted for sale Of 183, ,627
tons of refined copper in September,
the highest monthly turnover on
record, figures released yesterday

The new peak was established,
copper men said, despite the fact
producers of copper had done busi-
ness during part of the month on
the basis Of allocating sales in an
effort to dampen the buying urge
OF some over-enthusiastic customers.
Previous high mark was estab-
lished in July this year when 1873, ISL
tons changed hands. These figures
cover sales to domestic users only.
