LAMB FEEDERS AGREE TO AWAIT | SLUMP IN PRICE BEFORE MAKING PLANS FOR SEASON'S ACTIVITIES .

He said.it looked to him as tho the lamb feeders were up agaiast a very hard proposition and ‘he painted the prospect much darker by! several shades than indigo blue. ‘Mr. Drake said that possibly with the} high price of wool and an abundance } of forage that many lambs would be carried over until next spring.

He said the goyern- ment was liable to take ober the packing houses and regulate the price of fat lambs next spring. He could see no hope of profitable feeding this year, except that the multitude of lambs being thrown on the market this fall might break it and cause the | price to drop to 16 cents.

Many rigs are being hauled out from town and a number of new derricks have been completed and are ready to start drilling opera- tions. Markham has a contract for two holes in “this field; Baker Oil Company is ready to start and the Ohio has a number of rigs ready. A number of the Worland citizens who have holdings on the inside of the field are completing arrangements for sinking a’ well and proving their part of the field. They have the rig, fasing and men to go to work, and it now looks as though Hidden Dome will be the scene of great deveiop- ment work this fall. The Ohio has moved a rig from the! Murphy Dome; to the Hatman Dome and will prove this new field. UNABLE T0 FIGHT $0 OPENS BUSINESS AGAIN F. A.
