OLUME Vil. ‘MONDEL SINCLAIR FAVORS RICH COMEDIAN OF BROADWAY STEEL CARRIER WOULD HE BOON TO GALT GREEK Oil Magnate Says Line Would Help to Build Metropolis Here. Harry F. Sinclair, head of the Sinclair oil interests, who arrived in Casper on his pri- vate car, Sinco, this morning, is strongly in favor of such a railroad as the Wyoming North and South, and said so in no equivocable terms when interviewed in his car by representatives of the ‘Tribune. Whi'e admitting that he was not sufficiently conversant with the local situation to express an opinion on the letting of leases on the much discussed Section Thirty Six, Mr. Sin cla'r said that he consiflered a rail read would be the making of Casper He expressed great confidence in the ability of Governor Haskel', whom he has known for many years, “The Governor.” said Mr. Sinclair “is a man of grent energy. He usn ally does w he sets out to do. Hr is a Dullder with constructive ability and nothing I can think of would br of more benefit to Casper than to have such n raiiroad ns he ts reported to be ready to bulld.”? “T do not feo’ that T know the situ nition Hers well enough to take n Redd on the “questtén of -Sect'or Thirty Six.

It is hard to operate forty or ffty miles from ralls, Tt wov'd be o great thing for the Salt Creek flel¢ to have a lino, and I would like to see Casper the terminus, Mr, Sinclair said that he Lad not stated whether or not he wou'd hid on fect'on thirty. «'x himself, He pointed out that a raiirend from Casper to Balt Creek, leaying out of considera. tion any further extension of the line, would be of jnestimable value to the city. It would make, he thought, al! the difference between Cusper over the peak and taktr chance of having her slide back, “The influence of the Salt Creel field is tremendous,” said the oll mag: nate, It extendas over a great seation ot the country, JI think jt haa been the bitjgest individual faetor in bring: ing Denver up, It ia just the difter- ence of filing your extra stores and office buildings, which may haye been onty three quarters tenanted beore, It is the dividing line between pros perity and cemparative stagnation,” MP, Sinclair had nethng to say re- garding his own enterprises, or the report that he might build a refinery in Wyoming at a point pet yet de- termined, but which presumably would be at Clayton below Glenreck, He is leaving the city teday en an (Continued en Page Twelve.) the ROUAN INSANE AT Ti WILL WAS DRAWN, COU putting | he at Baily Crit CASPER, WYO., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1923. FINAL DITION NUMBER 122, i= TLROAD PRAISES HASKEL (APPOINTMENT OF FAME RECONVERTED IN MONTANA NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Lured back to active Christianity as he sat idie in a sleeping car stalled in snowstorm in the Dakotas, Fred Stone, comed'an, one of the gayest lights ever to illuminate Broadway, has dedicated the rest of his life to Christ and a tenth of his large in- come to the church. Though not, devotedly religious. Stone has always been tegarded as | a man devoted to his family and his re-conversion—he was baptized many years ago—didn't surprise the white light district. The strangeness »f the incident, as reported from Butte, Mont., lies in the manner of its occurrence. | Stone, in artelegraphed statement to | the New York World, sald: “What you read in the ‘Butte Mi- | ner {9 true. I am not looking for| publicity, It is a simple and natural thing, much too sacred to be used as copy.” It seems that Stone acted on his resolve by dropping off his train at Billings and buying a Bible. After reading it and praying, he was ready when Butte was reached to go to the Rev. Cecil Clifford and take some spiritual! advice. The next day, Sunday, he ap peared in the pulpit and told his Ufe's story to an astonished congre gation. His Income is estimated at about $125,0v0.
