THURSDAY, MARCH 10; 1921° ~ U5, TAKES FIRST STEP T0 CHECK UPON PRODUCTION OF OWL FIELDS Pf a Appointment of Howard Carnahi Carnahan as Chief Gaug er For Entire Northwest Is First Move i Securing Direct Data From Fields: Howard Carnahan, one of the best known oil men of this! region and who has been up to how connected with the Mid- west Refining company in the Salt Creek field under Mr. Lewis, i is the recipient of a notification from Washington of his appointment as head gauger for.the bureau of mines for the whole northwest *and+also. Californi first step of the government,in giteck- ing up field production reports : of companies operating on government land, these statistics in the past hav- ing ‘been received direct fromthe pro- ducers concerned. Government gaug- ers hereafter will be stationed in all fields. Mr. Carnahan came to Wyoming about four years ago in the employ of the Midwest and has been stationed at Salt Creek as guager for that firm since his advent to Wyoming. His tarritory here also “takes in other fields but in the main he: was :cc- cupied with the measurement of tank: age.of crude oil in the Salt Creek field only, occasionally making side {fips to the Lost Soldier and Rawlins dis- tricts to keep track of the work there. His appointment as chief guager |. for the government did not Surprise his,many friends and acquaintances here for Mr. Carnahan’s ability..in’ \his line is beyond question and he comes from Oil City, Pe., where iis father was one of the early day pio- neers of the oil industry. He rectived his carly training in the oil business fm that region’ where’ thé origina’ oil fields were discovered ani” doveloped and was a tank guager for the Nat- jonal Transit and other companice fathering the crude from the fields there. Th his new position, Mr. Carn@hin -will have charge of all of the, field guagers who will measure the oll in the tanks on the leases where the government has a royalty ‘interest. These guager reports will be sent to ‘the. interior department through the ‘dureau of mines and will be sent to the bureau of mines headquarters by Mr.Carnahan. His work will therefor fecide how much royalty the govern- ‘ment is entitled to from production of wells on government acreage. The only. wells, that will not.be.un. ler the su of Mr. Carnahan’s @ivision are those located upon state owned lands or the few tracts where the government did not reserve the mineral rights in the pioneer days awhen a homesteader, could. obtain. title to tall the rights of. his acreage... | 5 Besides the wells"In' the northwest; ‘Mri Carnahan will have charge of all ‘the California fields also and in this ‘Sway he will cover a large part of the ation’s oil territory. Starting at the Cat Creek field in Montana, his work will travel south through all the oil fields of Wyoming ahd then into the few scattered areas where oil is found in Colorado, then westward to the Pa- ciffe slope to the tertiary fields of California. ‘ His many friends in this region wist. Mri Carnahan the greatest of success in his new position and extend their hearty congratulations on his obtain- ing a position for which he is so eminently fitted. » Bvery American Legion post in ‘Kings county, New York, has adopted ‘a ward in Fox Hills hospital, Staten Island, New York, which shelters amore than one thousand disabled vet- erans of the world war. The Legion ‘membxs have established a regular ‘schedule of visits, entertainments and ipitt parties as well as a system of ‘assistance in obtaining compensation ‘und other rights of their comrades. A meeting of Aarvig-Campbell Post No, 78, of Pontiac, Ill, was the scence bf the presentation of the distin- Jguished servico cross to Sgt.

W. PITMAN (U, S. Weather Bureau, Cheyenne) ‘The week was unusually warm and faveraged about 12 degrees warmer ‘than normal; day temperatures aver- aged 52’night, 31; and extremes of 78 and zero were reported. At this writ’ ing it was snowing quite generally over the state, altho the fall is light; j earlier in the week light snows oc- curred here and there, not being gen- eral, Sunshine was somewhat less | than normal, and percentages were:/ Cheyenne, 46; Lander, 60 Sheridan, 58: Salt Lake, 68. The mild weather was beneficial to livestock which con- tinued in. generally good condition, ;| probably the best for several seasons, There was some shed lambing in Southeastern localities, but riot sen- eral. The winter ranges were open most of the week except in a few ex- treme western localities; the grass began to show green in sheltered places, and robins were seen in Sheri- dan and Cheyenne.. The warm pleas- ant weather for the last two weeks has resulted in plowing and disking quite generally from Sheridan and Crook counties southward into Laramie. The following snow depths were re- ported during the week: ATbin, small drifts; Alta, 17; Beulah, 0; Big Piney, 13; Chugwater (near), 0; Dome Lake. 27; Elk Mountain, 0; Fox Park, 27 Lovell, T.; Oshoto, Rocky Point, 0: Sage, 0; Shoshon{, 0; South Pass City, 3; Wyncote, 0. _ Che Casper Daily Cribune PAGE SEVEN Farnished by “LOCAL OIL, STOCKS Amalgamated.
