M. Andrus, general manager of the Standard, ee VED FROM BiG gasoline, is one of the poorey D~. meeting. an address delivered before the Kiwanis club at ‘tte luncheon which was held at Taming this condition into consid- eration Mr. Andrus admonished the business interests of Casper not to put a further handicap on the refin- ing company by maintaining a high cost of living that would require high wages. High overhead expenses would im- pose a burden ‘on the local refineries which would make it impossible for them to compete with other refiner- jes which have the benefit of short hauls and low freight rates, he said. “When the Midwest and Standard refining companies authorized the vast plant extensions which have al- ready been chronicled here, they paid a tribute to their belief of fair deal- ing from Casper. They know that ad- justments will be made that will per- mit them to market their products on a fair basis of competition with other refineries in any part of the coun- try. “Modern business demands the “crude oil. That is responsible for the building campaign which has} been inaugurated at the Standard. ‘The great quantities of residue which formerly has been consumed as fuel oil will now be handled by the Bur-} ton process stills and the last vestige of valuable content will be re- moved.” Painting a picture of Casper of the future, with its parks, boulvvards, churches, schools and other outstand- ing features which distinguish real cities, Mr. Andrus unofficially, cited the plans which the Standard com- pany has for the future of this city. that | every ounce of the higher grade pe-} troleum byproducts be removed from} ae Henning hotel Mena Gian ing many towns in the co th normalcy besides caaee® “And just get this impression.

After the construction program is completed here a permanent force will be recruited from the present payroll and it will be the class of men that the city can be proud of, according to the prediction of Mr. Andrus. | He cited instance after instance in |which every business in Casper was | benefitted through the program of en- Jargement at the refinery.

Establishing the record for court procedure at this term of court, the case opened this rhorning and before noon the jury had been selected and @ greati'r part of. the testimony for the state was before the court. It is probable that the case will be con- eluded and will be given to the jury this evening. 2 From ‘the evidence already before the court it @evelops that the Many Sheep company lost 270 head of sheep March,10. The sheep were located at the Kremer brothers’ ranch March 16 and the arrest wag made March 17. The contention of the defendants is that they purchased the sheep from Frank Elgarde, a man whom they had never seen before and have nev- er seen since. They admit that they have no receipts or other papers coy- ering the transfer of the sheep. M. ‘W. Purcell, county attorney, is han- dling the case for the state, while Attorneys R.
