LSB SOAR, SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 1923. CONFLICTING PRICE TREND IS FEATURE OF STOCK TRADING NEW YORK, March 10.—Confict- ing price movements featurea this week's stock market in which the mdustrial averages again established the peak in prices since the spring of 1920. The reaction, which was st@rted on rumors that another in- crease in the local federal reserve discount rate was impending was con- strued as a reflection of the weakened technical position which had de- veloped as a result of the recent sus- tained rise. The bidding up of special stocks was founded, in part, on the rising price tendency in various basic com- modities; reports of impending mergers including Standard Oil of Indiana with Cosden and Kennecott with Utah Copper; higher dividend announcements including the in crease from $5 to $7 annually in Stromberg Carburetor, and the excel. lent showing made by various indu: trial companies in the latest series of 1922 income reports. Trading in railroad shares was sluggish with price changes despite the fact that the latest car loading statistics revealed that more cars andied in the week ending February 24 than in any correspond- ing week on record; that the dally OIL MAN SEES $3 FOR CRUDE NEW YORK, March 10.—Oil prices may establish new record high price this year, according to J. W. McCulloch, vice president of the In- dpendent O11 & Gas company, who stated today that the demand for high grade off is unusually heavy for this time of the year. ‘Prices for high grade crude are likely to touch $3.00 per barrel by April,” stated Mr. McCulloch, “and by the time the gasoline demand reaches its peak in the summer months’ $4.00 a barrel or better is an- teipated. This is due chiefly to the enormous demand for this quality of crude at a time when consumption és necmaty small. Unless some unex- pected high grade oil pool !s opened in the near future the price will ad. ‘vance sharply. “Companies in the Okmulgee field “Mare now drawing oll from storage, “which {s another unusual factor for this period of the year.

Ditching machines have arrived in Casper and been delivered on the right-of-way as has also the two plpe line machines. One of the machines will start putting together the 12-inch pipe at the Clayton end next Monday. One ditching machine and one pipe line machine will be started at each end of the line and work toward the middle. Oil Production Methods An investigation of the methods of producing oll in the Salt Creek field in ‘Wyoming, with particular refer. ence to the conservation of natural gas, is being made by engineers of the Bureau of Mines. Eight wells Were subjected to production tests by various methods, extending over a period of three months. The work has been temporarily suspended ow. ing to the rigorous winter weather.

The marking up of the independent steel shares was partly in reflection of those reports.

BIG BUILDING YEAR IS SEEN BY C.E. STARR Brick and Tile Proprietor Predicts Great Activity; Has Many Orders. One of the heaviest building years in the history of the state is pre dicted for Casper and other towns in this vicinity by Carl EB. Starr, who has returned to his home here after several months spent at Long Beach, Cai. Mr. Starr, who is the proprietor of the Casper Brick and Tile company, bases his assertions on the fact that his concern has contracted for more brick for 1923 delivery than was de- Uvered in the last two years. The company’s plant has been remodeled uring the last few months and is in much better condition to care for large orders for quick delivery. Large contracts which have been made by the Casper Brick and Tile company recently are with the Mu- tual Refining company at Glenrock for 500,000 brick and with the Texas company here for 675,000 brick. Mr. Starr announced this morning that his ®uilding on East Second street, next to the Rialto theatre which is being entirely remode'ed and renovated, will be ready for occu- pancy May 1.

By FRANK M. HANSEN. Many a lover of the out-of-doors is already planning a hunting trip this fall. The thought of the mountains; the early morning hike on the trail of an elle causes a thrill of anticipa- tion to course up and down their spine. Sport for the Gods! If it were only time to pack for this longed for trip. Hundreds plan on théir annual elk hunt, but always with the thought that there is plenty of game. One phase of elk hunting has been overlooked. Tho chief ambition of every sportsman {s to get a large head, so for him no advice is neces- sary, but not so with the meat-hunter. Although many reputable hunters come under the term of “meat-hun ter,” it {s only another case of the in- nocent suffering with the gullty. This class is, in the majority of cases, in- experienced hunters, and when once in the hil's the spell of the wild en- wraps them and they move through the timber tense in every muscle for ®@ movement which might disclose a arget for their guns. No thoughts of heads or an animal suitable for meat pass through their minds. If a bunch of elk 4s jumped, the rifles come to shoulder and bang, the first one in sight is shot at. Many times a calf is the victim of this hasty shooting. This is one of the gravest dangers that threaten the elk. Many hunters are determined to get an elk no matter what kind, so as soon as they spot a band they com- mence shooting inanervous a. ‘ermie ation to lessen their chances of dis- appointment. The killing of a calf is very unsportsmanlike, not consider- ing that the amount of meat secured is of insufficient quantity to warrant {ts being killed. Nervousness, lack of thought on the subject, coupled with a desire to kill something causes | T™many hunters to shoot a calf, where- as, under less strained conditions it would have been spared. The continued decrease in the elk herds in spite of a!l present precau-| tions, should awaken the hunter to! the fact that they can assist .a this} protection to a great extent. If all who indulga in the sport of elk hunting) make up their mind to protect the calf crop, the assistance thus render- ed willbe greater than is at first sup- posed. Some men who frequent the hills are out for anything that is meat. No thought for the future of the animal they hunt enters their mind. To awaken interest in such minds would be a herculean task, if not wholly impossible. Che Caspet Daily Cribune back empty-handed than fo kill some- thing that could not possibly give them satisfaction. A campaign against calf killing must be waged by them with such severity that to those who fail to become enlightened through ordinary channels, stronger methods held in reserve, can be brought out to assist them in their sporting education. Killing of elk calves each season adds another hardship on the remnants of this no- ble herd. Not only is the elk killed at an age when {t can at best furnish only a few pounds of meat, but it does not live long enough to leave another in its place. With the older memh~~ of the herd decreasing mucn fasicr than they increase, and the calves being taken for game by a number of hunters each season, the result can be plainly sean. Another handicap which the young elk striggle vainly against is the rigorous winters. Un- able to fight the snow as the older elk do, many of them succumb te starvation and cold. ‘With these facts before us it can be seen that the elk situation has reach: ed a stage where every precaution must be taken, and every danger elim- inated that it is humanly possible tu eliminate. Hasty shooters in the game fields must be made to see the danger they are to the future of the elk, and once this is accomplished the sportsmen can credit themselves with removing one menace from the path of the animal they lov Idaho Moonshiner Is Returned Home 5178,601 FOR, FOREST SERVICE IN WYOMING ‘WASHINGTON, March 10.—Con- sTessman Winter has been notified by the forest service that for the fiscal year 1924 the sum of. $'75,581 has been pportioned as Wyoming's share of the forest highway fund, and $124,263 has been set aside for use in Wyo- ming for what ‘s known as the forest development fund.
