VOLUME V ‘S SALE OF WSALT G “FIELD HEL BY LAND OFFICE Order Suspending Action; In Advertising Leases Is Received at Doug- las Late Wednesday The first sale of oil leases in the Salt Creek field under the terms of the new leasing law probably will not be held as advertised, as the result of an order received at Douglas from Commissioner Spry of the gen- ¢ral land office suspending the pub- Ucation of advertisements of the sale. The advertisement had appeared once in a Casper newspaper when the ‘fol- lowing message was received last night from Commissioner Spry at the Douyial: office: “Pending receipt of detailed instruc: tion being formulated, suspend action in Advertising offer for oil leases di- rected by office letter of March 3,” Various interpretations have been placed on the significance. of the mes- Sage, which amounts to virtual post- ponement of the date, one being that the time is not considered favorable for such a sale in view. of stringent financial. conditions; another that a cuenge. in - is being considered by lan yinasmtich as the sale was first a‘ttiorized under the Wilson administration, and still an- other that errors have crept into the list of lands advertised. Further in- structions are expected at an early date. The first season is offset in part by tho fact that~the government re- tains a 30 per cent royalty interest, which give lands on the outskirts of the field a small cash value. Under the terms of the sale as advertised the small operator would be favored as against the larger companies in that a smaller cash outlay would be, required at the start. Reports received this afternoon over brokerage wires stated that the sale had been postponed until some time in June. ee A.

DICE, CARDS ON TABOOED LIST ‘All Games of Chance Are Eliminated In Casper on Orders of New Police Chief; Enforcement Rigid All games of chance, including cards, dice, punch boards d other gambling devices of minor nature are tabooed by the pes om edict which is being enforced under the supervision of Jesse A. Sheffner, who assumed the duties of chief of police about a week ago. Punch boards, which were running strong here, have until the first of the month to complete disposition of their wares. “A strict sane and clean enforce: ment of all city laws is contemplated, says Chief Sheffner. ‘There will be nothing spectacular im-the campaign and all places will be warned once and only once.” One of the first remedies to be ar- rived at will be some means of han- dling traffic in the business district. To permit wider lanes parking in front ofthe postoffice will be prohibited and leaving cars in the center of the street on certain portions of Wolcott, Mid- west avenue and other center parking districts will be prohibited. Starting the first of the month an- other mounted traffic officer ‘will be put on the police payroll and the offi- cers directing traffic in the business district will be kept at their posts for Jonger hours. sf ‘At present trafic at the corner of Second and Center streets is controlled only during the rush hours. Hereafter an officer will be kept on duty from 4 to 6 o'élock at least and for a longer period if required: The first steps in the clean-up cam- paign inaugurated by Mr. Sheffner ‘was the removal of three of the offi- veers that were on the payroll under the old administration. One of the men removed was Jack De Vorea, the man who made such a poor showing against Charles Doyle boxing match. Another plan that will be enforced by the new police administration will be forcing removal of all obstructions to traffic on sidewalks in various parts of Casper.
