OLUME Vi 0 LARGEST IN TnI TERRITORY Illinois Pipeline Com- pany Completes Mam- moth Aerial on Ohio Company Property To the surprise of many and to the relief of those who have wondered for days, Cas- per is now the possessor_of the largest wireless receiving and sending station in the entire west, excepting of course, the Pacific coast region.” For days wireless and electrical ex- perts of this city have smiled, winked one eye, and looked wise. For these same days the ignorant masses have made petty wagers as to the future use of two large steel towers erected on the property of the Ohio Oil com- pany, near théir-large warehouse on Center street at the Burlington right of wi ‘The new station is backed solely by the Illinois Pipeline company, but due to the fact that waste property on the * Ohio’ wavehouse site was admirably suited to the construction of tho tow- ers, and the stringing of the aerial, right to build on that site was secured from the Ohlo peopl In just exactly 10 days from the time the first shovel began the simple grading work necessary, the aerial was strung, and the delicate apparatus on the inside compiete. Early this morning found the last wire fastened, and a phonographic concert coming in over the rad{o attachment. “3 The towers which are plainly vie. able in all parts of the city are 150 feet in height and 500 feet apart. At the base mammoth uprights, the stée! bars Gre 20 feet long on every side, At the-very top the space is one foot square, showing a remarkably fine bit of tower tapering. Tho wave length as given out this morning in an interview with: P. Hennesgey of the Illinois Pipeline com- pany, Who has been in full charge of the construction and who will take over the duties of chief operator, is 1,- 685 meters, and the sending and re. Jf ceiving radius of the instrument is placed at 2,000 miles, The apparatus was especially constructed to com- munieate with Lima, Ohio, the head- quarters of the company. Mr. Hennessey said that he’ knew of no other wireless outfit in the en- Ure west and central west, excepting several government stations on the coast, which could rival Casper’s lat- est development in science. “FATTY” GOING TO ORIENT.

GASOLINE. PRIGE GUT RESULT OF CRUDE OIL DROP. SENATE 15 TOLD Vice President Clark of Midwest Denies Manip- ulation to Create Favor- able Impression WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. —tThe recent decline in gaso- line prices was a natural con- sequence of the fall in the, price of crude oil and was not an effort to make “a showing” n advance of the senate investigs tion into the gasoline prices situa- tion, John D. Clark of Denver, vice president of the Midwest Refining company testified today at the sen- ate gasoline investigation. He as- serted In reply to questions that the “ut of two cents a gallon in gasoline and 1 cent a gallon on kerosene was the equivalent of 60 cents a barrel reduction in the price of crude. Mr. Clark conceded under examina- tion that the selling price of gasoline had been increased more between April of this year and the date of the reduction than the 2 cents recently cut off. He stated frankly that some of the increases in gasoline prices after April were made “because the market would gtand it.” : The Midwest Refining company makes no attempt to'fix the price 6f crude in the field from which its sup- ply is drawn, said Mr. Clark, adding that his company usually compro- mised on the price with the Ohio Of! company in the Wyoming district and used that as a basis for a field quo- tation. The Ohio company, Mr, Clark said, was a part of the Standard group as well as the Midwest Refin- ing company, the stock of which he testified yesterday was 99 per cent owned by the Standard of Indiana. Profits of the Midwest company re. ‘ining department last year totaled $3,898,000 or about 40 cents a barrel on the volume of erde handled, Mr. Clark testified. Profits for the first six months of this year have been about 57 cents a barrel on the crude |refined, he said, adding that business |"Is very much better this year than last."* | Profits of the refining plants last year, Mr. Clark figured at 14.8 per cent while for the first half of this year, he said, they were running about 22 Per cent The witness, in answer to questions, explained that his con- cern's refinery at Laramie, Wyo. “topped” the crude, obtaining the usual quuntity gasoline, then pumped to a plant owned by the Standard of Indiana, where the crack Ing process of distillation was used {and .a further asoline extraction ac. |complished.
