The eight-hour period started at 8: o’clock in the morning and ended at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, too late for the early morning departures and too early for the volume of travel at tendant upon the return from the oil fields. The report was made by a representative of the board of coun | ty commissioners which is gathering data with a view to installing a mod- ern concrete span across the Platte river at the traffic point. The present structure which is any thing but safe, has been a continual drain on the resources of the county for many years owing to the con stant repairs that must be made on account of the heavy traffic across the bridge. In 1917, during high water in the Platte, the bridge was pronounced unsafe for heavy traffic and hundreds of trips were made across the bridye hy trucks of light capacity to load- ing points on the north side, where | the heavier trucks were loaded. One of the best initial steps, for good roads, that could be taken by the com ioners would be to coh. struct a bridge that would be safe and serviceable and an aid to traffic nstead of a hindrance, as the present bridge spar is.

The Jupiter well, if it proves prov. ductive, will add many hundred acres of unprovef: land to the list of prov- jen acreage in the field. There are many reports, some favorable and some adverse, regarding the chances of Jupiter encountering oil in the test hole, which is already at tha 3,700-foot level. Large blocks of- fered in Denver this morning were quickly picked up by local brokers on the strength of reports from the well. Market rumors have caused & strengthening in Western Explora- ‘ion, Consolidated Royalty and T. Williams.
