The Sait Creek field is the greatest oll produc- ing field in the state of Wyoming The oll produced from that field is of quality superior to that of the Mid= Continent field. To construct a six-inch pipeline Casper to the Salt Creek field would involve an expendituro of approxi mately one-half million dollars. - Few, ir any, independent refineries are in @ financial position which would allow thes: to proceed with the construction of such a pipe line.

GOOD BUSINES AND MORAL We have understood from time immemorial that it pays to be honest—that it is really good business, also that the same thing applies to chastity, sobriety and the other virtues. We believe all sane people will agree that it shows gocd business sense to realize this and good business methods to keep these virtues alive and mighty good busi- ness sense and management to right conditions, once these virtues have been supplanted by dishonesty, extrav- agance, incompetency, prostitution, bootlegging and other vices. Mr. Giblin in his talk at the courthouse Tuesday night admitted these latter conditions exist here in Casper. He also told his audience that they were not interested—he knew they were not—in the business end of the next city administration, that what they wanted was a moral cleanup. It is mighty hard to convince a practical, thinking man with experience that these conditions can be righted with- out the use of good business methods. It is hard to con- vince a taxpayer who has had his property all but confis- cated through assessments and received but little benefit from same, be it for regrades, paving, water, or sewer im- provements, that he is not interested in the business side of the candidates. . We doubt if a candidate with such a poor insight into, our problems, can ever get to first base. He lacks a prop- er grasp and understanding of our difficulties—he is vi- sionary, not practical, has no deep understanding of the problems that would confront him if elected mayor of this $25,000,000 corporation of Casper. Don’t be misled—you are interested in seeing that a sane, practical, efficient successful business man is elected mayor of Casper and that he is supported in the council by men of like character and qualifications. Don’t be mis- led by purposely injected confusion with its charges and counter-charges of mudslinging. Just because Mr: A’s dog has it in for Mr. B’s cat and chases said cat up a telephone pole every time the door is left open, is no reason why the public should have to eat fur’ If you will investigate, you will probably find that Mr. C’s pet animal has also been itching to get into this friendly (?) argument. You may find that this happy (?) state of affairs has been a matter of long standing, has not arisen since the announcement of Mr. Blackmore’s candi- dacy and that in the present campaign some one has care- lessly left open several doors and the opportunity is given for all the dear pets to get busy. So don’t let any pet get away with this martyr stuff— the cat may have yowled all night and needed a trounc- ing and the dog its nose scratched. We don’t know and what is more, we don’t give a d——-. What we do know is that Casper needs a real man for a man’s job and we wili get that if Blackmore is elected mayor and we elect the men on his ticket to the city council. Let every voter get out and vote intelligently on No- vember 8 and the verdict will be right—it always it.
