Xt LAND DISPUTES Adjustments Sought Among Lance Creek Operators to Meet Claims of Withdrawal At a meeting to be held in Denver next week at which the larger opera- tors will have officiils in attendance, the proving up of the Lance Creek field will be determined thru the ad- justment of conflicting titles on lands held by those interests and it is bi lieved that a united front will be established to meet the claims of the government under the withdrawal. The Ohio company is drilling part of the acreage of the Western States company and the latter concern also is drilling three wells on its own ac count in what might be regarded as proven area. These wells are expect-| ed to be completed within the next thirty days unless the weather should continue cold. The Midwest Refin. ing’ company is preparing to drill the acreage of the Cactus company, in which it hi half interest, and mean- | time the Glenrock Oil company, Which has a well down 2,600 feet, is pro- ceeding as rapidly as posible in view of the severe weather conditions. Stock of the Western States Oil and Land company, which sold at $1% | was firm at about! the same figure Monday but no sales were reported. In-view of the small) capitalization and the fact that the compan now on an earning basis, | it seems probable that this stock wil.} advance to a much higher figure in the near future than it commands at present. In the event that seve wells are brought in it is now repor' ed that the company will be reorgan. ized with a much larger capitalization | the new stock to be partly distribut- ed ock dividend and partly sold to finance the company’s drilling re- quirements. =O NEW YORK OIL PAYS REGULAR DIVIDEND JAN. 2 The New York Oil company on| January 2 paid its regular 14 per! cent quarterly dividend to stockhold- | ers, and officers of the company in- timate that a considerable melon wil: | be cut in the future in the form | of an extra di send LEGISLATION ASKED FOR SOLDIERS, BILL DRAFTED | BY INTERIOR SECRETARY When Governor Houx returned to Cheyenne after ho participated in the governors’ conf re at Annapo lis, he brought with him a bill which, in case it is passed by the coming legislature, will empower the state o% Wyoming to assist mate in the federal projects to re id lana, | within its borders, an homes and occupations for thousands | of soldi now in their way or about | to start for America and the west.

Se Queen Helena, who is acting the part of hostess to the President and Pirs. Wilson during their stay in Rome, is essentially a home-loving woman, with little taste for the se. cial side of court life. However, she cannot be reproached with bourgeois iustes, for when the occasion arises she presents a bearing not to be ex- celled in the most fastidious courts, and it has been said that she sur pusses in majesty of carriage any other sovereign in Europe. — LARGE DRILLING TOBE SETTLED \the refinery. ana| XN.
