Alfalfa Brings Higher Prices ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—More than half the marketable surplus of the 1922 alfalfa crop had been marketed December 15, compared with less than half the 1921 crop at that time a year ago, but the amount available from last year’s crop was estimated to be about 15 per cent less than was sold in the previous year, according to a statement issued today by. the de: partment of agriculture. Drought in the southwest was said to have curtalled production of alfal- fa and at the same time to have caused an unusual demand for it in that section, while elsewhere the de- mand remained about normal, The average price December 15 was $23.75 a ton compared with $21.50, Septem- ber 16, CHICHESTER SPILLS ny Filament Lira — ee with Bive Kivbon.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—Two of Chi!- cago’s self-made men today sat on the pinnacle ef the business ladder in their respective lines. They were James Simpson, new president of | Marshall Field and company and F. Edson White, new president of Armour and company. Two others, one only partially aelf-made due to wealth left by his father, relinquished some of their burdens to the new shoulders. They | were John G. Shedd and J. Ogden Armour, who became chairman of the boards of directors respectively of the Field and Armour companies. Mr. Simpson took a job as office “poy for the late Marshall Field in 1891. Mr. White went to work in a Peorla packing house at the age of 17 and in 1895 began work for Armour and company as an in- spector. The rise of both was rapid. Mr. White t# 49 years old and Mr. Simp- son is nearing his 49th birthday. Mr. Shedd started as a $10 a week clerk for Mr. Field. Today he is one of Chicago's wealthiest men. Ho 1s 72 years old. J.

LIGHT OIL POOL—the Salt Creek Field, Natrona Coun- ty, Wyoming. Traffic conditions on the Salt Creek road, which is the main artery of transportation be- tween the producing fields of Salt Creek and the refining center of Casper, are subject to considerable criticism and unfavorable com- ment. Last, but not least, these deplorable conditions are the direct cause of misery, ex- pense and suffering, to the constant stream of humanity which must travel this most impor- tant of industrial highways. The people of Wyoming receive a substan- tial income from Government Royalty Oil, the major portion of which is produced in the Salt Creek Field. By adopting a broad-minded, “help yourself” policy this royalty income can be largely increased. Extend your co- operation to Natrona County in her effort to secure a better outlet for its oil products and you and your children will reap the benefit in increased royalties from United States gov- ernment. To rectify the present unsatisfactory traf- fic conditions your support is earnestly so- licited. A spirit of fair play must prevail. A good start has been made—the State Highway Commission has in the past devoted considerable time and money to the upbuild- ing of the Salt Creek road. But this is not enough. In order to con- struct and properly maintain this important artery of transportation, used almost solely for industrial purposes, Natrona County should receive a greater portion of the gov- ernment oil royalty income, now received by the State of Wyoming. What Natrona County’s percentage of this fund should be is a question for the people of Wyoming, through their representatives in the Legislature, to decide. Many propose a 10 per cent allotment to Natrona County, while the more conservative place the amount on a 5 per cent minimum basis. which all agree is that the present 2 per cent allotment is entirely inadequate to take care of existing conditions of extreme traffic orig- inating from oil operatitons in the Salt Creek- Teapot district. Immediate relief is imperative. One thing upon PAGE NINE.

Remember, that these operators are all working for you, the taxpayers and citizens of Wyoming. There is no selfish aim involved. It is sim- ply a question of granting Natrona County a larger percentage of the oil royalty funds so that she may apply these moneys to improv- ing the industrial highway system, which, in turn, means greater development, increased royalty income and further prosperity for the people of Wyoming. Based on facts herein briefly outlined it would. seem that prompt action should be taken to remedy the transportation problem in Wyoming's greatest oil fields. The taxpayers and voters of our state canreadily bring about a speedy readjustment of the situation by in- structing the worthy men whom they have se- lected to represent them in the legislature to grant Natrona County an increase from Gov- ernment oil royalties. Legislation which will bring this about is a constructive step in the right direction, benefitting not only the Salt Creek road, but all the highways and schools which will participate in a greater income from this source. “SAY IT WITH PRINTER’S INK” This Article Written, and Space for Its Publication Donated by CHAS.
