CHEYENNE IS PREPARING TO STAGE SHOW T. J. Cahill, a prominent Cheyenne business man, is a visitor in Casper today attending to businesss matters here attendant upon his oil interests and holdings. Mr. Cahill announced that Cheyenne is already making preparations for a gigantic celebra- tion during the Frontier Days cele- bration which will be bigger and bet- ter than ever this year. The idea of holding the celebration prior to the state going dry.has been definitely abandoned, the safe and sane cele- bration having prevailed. PELESS mands for this class of oil, it is said, has resulted in more extensive plans for augmenting the manufacture of gasoline from it. The plant at Grey-j bull will also be éxpanded, say re-' liable reports. At the present time the Midwest efining company is installing six 1,- 000-barrel stills and will probably: build more if the production from Lance Creek warrants it. Indications are that the Lance Creek oil will come to Casper because of a water shortage at Lusk, or steps may be taken at some future date to build! in one of the nearby towns where an adequate water supply is available. The Standard Oil company of New Jersey is understood to be con- sidering entering the Wyoming field as a manufacturer, its subsidiary, the Carter Oil company, being already heavily interested in the production end. Other refining news rumors say that the Midwest is contemplating abandoning plans for the new re- finery at Rock River and locating it at Laramie or Rawlins in order to| serve a larger production territory. This cannot be substantiated and re- cent reports from Rock River stated that the company was _ proceeding with plans with all possible dispatch. Shipment of oil from the Rock) Creek field and from the Lost Sol-| dier dome to the Utah Oi] company at Salt Lake City, which is controlled | LOAN TOTAL iS | by the Midwest Refining company,; will begin one week hence. The pipe-; lines from these fields are being tested and will be in full operation in a day or two. By diverting this} oil to Salt Lake City, a considerable | volume of crude which now moves; from Grass Creek and other fields| will be sent:to the Casper and Grey- | bull plants. Until the refinery, which some ‘other point on the Union Pacific railroad is completed, all the oil from the Rock Creek and Lost Soldier} which time a part of it only will be) moved to Utah. The expansion of the Midwest Re- fining company’s activities will make it'one of the largest refining con- velopment of the Wyoming fields will probably place it at the head. of the list as regards barrelage treated in its-plants.
