This well is the only Standard rig in the Warm Springs field, and it is located on holdings that lie almost in the center of the operations. All the air pockets are now out| of the oil pipe line from the Warm Springs, and the big receiving tank at} Thermopolis is taking the shipments regularly as they are sent over the hills and through the canyons from| the field. | On the east end of the Murphy dome, the Highland Boy Oil Co. is drilling now after considerable trou-| ble getting started.

FREAK AKIRA IETHER SESE EE HER KEIR TERRE RD Land Squadrons of Commerce _ In the huge task devolving upon motor trucks to relieve the short haul rail congestion, White Trucks are taking an heroic part. They are buckling down to fast freight service between a hundred miles apart. One big fleet operates in nine different states, hauling every conceivable kind of merchandise—fuel, food, clothing, leather, raw materials, machinery, giant boilers, pile drivers, rugs. Eighteen trucks recently carried 90 tons of phonograph records into New York in a single day. In this high pressure interurban service White Trucks are in their element. The long, hard, heavy pulls through snow, mud, _and ruts, on fast schedules rigidly maintained day after day, search out the very marrow of trucking power and endurance, The White Trucks stand up and keep going, as they have been doing for years in road building operations, heavy contracting work and in the severest department store service.
