TT GBBED UP Validations, Assignments and a davits Being Filed in Volume with County Clerk. An average of ove 30 instruments of all kinds each day have been filed at the office of Edith M. Ogburn for the first four months of the year, according to the reports issued from the office yesterday afternoon. The Natrona County keystone office is ex- periencing the heviest colume of busi- that was ever visited upon the nes office. Unlike the boom jn the of- fice attendant upon heavy~ wildcat development of the spring of 1917, the major part of the filings in the office are not concerned with oil de- velopment, but are made up of filings from improvement of Casper resi- dence and business districts. While the office indicates a more general and more substantial trading in reliable business there is also con- siderable prospective oil land terri- tory that is being taken up, and from the number of operating leases and agreements that are being filed it seems that many parts of Natrona County will be exploited thoroly this year. : : The larger operating companies are beginning to operate in Natrona County as never before. During the past several days, scouts and leas men of several companies have been abstracting numerous sections of thr | county with a view to deter i the amount of land open for location and validation under the existing oi! | placer laws. The interest in purely wildeat de- | velopment now centers in the vicinity of the Salt Creek field, all sides or | the huge structure being taken up for | prospective development. The great- | est number of oil land filings are oc- curring in the vicinity of township 34 north and range 79 west, the terre | tory being directly north of Casper Interest is also being manifest for the first time in three years in the West’Salt Creek country, and nearly every foot of land for miles in the vicinity of the Delmonte test well o1 Section 6-40-79 is being restaked and | validated. This is the greatest inter- | est that has been manifested in the West Salt Creek field since the Ohic and General Petroleum companies ab- rogated their drilling contra huge tracts of land in that vicinity. The announcement that the Duluth Wyoming Oil Company intended com pleting its-well on Section 13-40-8¢ immediately caused a rush to take ur the surrounding country. The eas* half of the sections were located by substantial business interests of Cas- per with later arrivals extending thei, choice of location-to lands on th west and south, On the whole, the Salt Creek vicin ity should experience a thoro cam paign to determine once and for all the extensions and definite limits 91 the structure. The structures to the west of Cas. | per are beginning to attract great! increased interest, as indicated by tnc | filings in the count; in the endeavo* of the Ohio, Curti: nd New Yort companies, in certain ians and the | Addison and Fargo interests in th proven field —_—-- A search for a missing meteor, con- ducted by the United States cal Survey, ended in the re: of the water company at To Pa., and enabled the compiny account for the sudden disappea: of its ice crop one night last January.

Che-Casper Dai Tribune NORTH RUSSIAN, CLERGY IN DIRE | NEED, IS REPORT) ARCHANGEL. — (Correspondence of the Associated Pree.) Archbishop | Nathaniel of Archangel and Kholmo-| gory has recently received a letter | from a priest of the parish of Oust | Outcha in which the plight of the) clergy of some of the villages of| northern Russia under Bolshevik rule} is described. The priest informed the archibishop that, under threat that he/ would be horsewhipped unless he paid the Bolsh-viki 3,000 rubles he was compelled to sell all his property and} his ranscm. | “A terrible wave of Bolshevism has lately reached our little village,’ writes the priest, Ivan A. Serebren- nikow. The young soldiers and sail- ors who are returning from the front; are infected with Bolshevism and are | making fun of everything sacred. The! majority were formerly” my parish-! ioners but now they are so wicked that they have ceased to respect pricsts, old people, everything that is established, calling it the ‘old, regime.” “Because of . venchings against the establishment oi - ‘es for the manufacture of alcohol 1 i) s- trict, the Bolsheviki threatened to burn the church with me. The real misfortunes of the clergy began with the declaration of the separation of the church and the state. The wicked secretary of the locgl soviet proposed to turn the church inte a le’s theater and the priests’ home a school or a shop but the majerity of the people opposed it, “In November last when the Bol sheviki gained contro} of this district they arrested me and the deacon, manding a contribution of 3,000 rubles and in case ef refusal I was to be horsewhipped, my possessions confiscated and I was ta be deported to the red guard headquarters to dig) trenches.” Mr. Galavin, a clerk of an oil ask his pa: ishioners to raise money for| company, from whom the Bolsheviki demanded 35,000 rubles was horse- whipped and afterward shot. When the red guard captured the village of Oust Zilma, wrote the priest, “they committed all sorts of outrages, cu INSECTS AWAKE, GET BUSY UPON FRUIT TREES WASHINGTON, April 30.—May is the month when the insects wake up and get ready to attack your trees,! says a bulletin from the American Forestry association. Here is some tree advice from the association for May: Plant evergreens during the first part of May. Spray for all varieties of inseets, these that chew, suck and bore. Spray for fungous disease. Commence cultivating and watering trees and shrubs: Complete the re- maval of trees hopelessly infested with boring insects such as the hick- and finally throwing their victims in the river." In conclusion the priest asked the archbishop nat to send him back to the “frightful nightmare” at tting off tongues and ears Oust Outcha.
