TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1923. Test Being Sunk by Carter for Joint Account of Consol- idated and Western Exploration Drills Itself in Wal I Creek Reports from Buffalo this Creek well No. for the joint intere Western Exploration carp in the Second Wall Creek at morning state that the Billy 2, being drilled by the Carter Oil company st of the Consolidated Royalty and the anies, was brought in late Monday a depth of 8,280 feet with an initial gas production of 70,000,000 cubic feet. The initial test of this structure, completed last fall, was @ gasser of similar propor- tions, The No. 2 well was drilled with a rotary rig to below the 3,000 foot mark, cable tools being used to Grill tn the well. The rotary has been mov- ed to a new location known as Gra- ham No, 1, which is now down to 570 feet, ‘The bringing m of this second large gasser indicates that the Billy Creek structure houses one of the largest gas supplies in this part of the state. Reports from the field say that the well which came in with a road that could be heard for miles, is being brought under control today. The drilling report on the Carter wells in the Sult Creek field is as follows Duncan No. 8—2,185 fest; drilling. Duncan No, 5—2,275 feet; drilling. Hobbs No. 1—Rig standing. Richardson No. 7—840 feet; drilling, Richardson No. 8; rig on location. The Continental Oil and Producing company’s Bradley No. 2 in the Salt Creek field is 47 feet in the and at depth of 2,551 fet. The well has a crooked hole in the sand and pro- duced 195 barrels Monday. The company’s Black No, 7 is rig- ging up; Black No. 8 is moving in tools and Brown No. 5 is rigging up. Oil Shale Production in Sweden Being Tried Out STOCKHOLM, June 5.—Sweden can face the menace of world short- age of petroleum with relative calm, in spite of having no domestic supply of fuel, according to Axel F. En- strom, a leading Swedish industrial and financial expert, in a recent ad- dress before the Association of Swe- dish Industries. One of the most important sources of fuel o'l which has recently been experimented with here is bitumtnous shale. It was estimated by the speaker that the Swedish shale deposits could yleld about 500,000,000 tons of shale oil. Production on a small scale is at present being carried on. A stil! more practical substitute for petroleum $s wood alcohol, said Mr. Enstrom. And Sweden could within a short time produce wood alcohol in quantities corresponding to the pres- ent consumption of gasoline. Its man- ufacture as a by-product of chemical wood pulp is particularly economical. The existing factories have a capacity of about 5,000,000 gallons of wood al- cohol a year, and with new buildings and still more highly developed meth- ods of conservation, he declared, this capacity could be increased to about 17,000,000 gallons a year. Finally, Sweden, because of her great hydro-electric resources, will in the future permit a very much great- er use of electricity stored in batter- ies. Almost every section of the coun- uy is now served by the net of power lines, and-electricity could be drawn from them for the use of passenger cars, trucks and tractors. WHEAT GROP IN Uo. BACKWARD, "ADAM? RIB? AT RIALTO MAINTAINS DE MILLE STANDARD OF FILM ART REPORT STATES arts of Southwest an: Pacific Are Only Exceptions. WASHINGTON, June 5.—Some deterforation in winter wheat in all areas except parts of the southwest end on the Pacific coast is reported by the United States department of agriculture in its sem{-monthly ro- view issued today. The crop gen- erally is reported as backward. “Drought in some sections and heavy rains and floods in others have caused injury” the department says. ‘‘Chinch bugs and hessian fly at work in many localities. Harvesting has begun in the southwest. “Condition of the rye crop general- ly 1s good. The crop is heading quite generally and is ready for harvest in the southwest. Spring wheat mostly ts up to good stands but back- ward {n growth. “Oats are in fair condition only, needing sunshine and warmer weath- er, Barley is in excellent condition as ® rule though somewhat damaged by drought in California. Corn plant- ing has been delayed by rains while early planted corn is weedy, and drought and floods have caused in- jury to the crop in the south and southwest. Stands gegnerally aro good but the crop as a whole is back- ward, “Peaches are showing improvement while apples have good promise though dropping heavily in Atlantic coast orchards. The outlook for frutts generally 1s good. “Livestock generally is in good condition. Sugar beets promise a large acreage. { “The general shortage of farm labor continues.” , wees ee The Untversity of California has established a record for American educational institutions by graduating 2,818 students in one day. ———— The skins of animals were the earliest forms of money.

QUOTATIONS BY LEASED STOCK TRADING (WHEAT PRICES [ODULL TODAY) SCORE ADVANCE Steels, Equipments and Rails Are Only Bright Spots in Market. NEW YORK, June 5.—Inéecisive price movements characterized to- day's trading in the stock market, one of the dullest full day's sessions this yet The principal activity centered in a few specialties although @ better demand was noted for the steels, equipment and low priced rails. Sales approximated 500,000 shares. NEW YORK, June 5.—Speculative sentiment was still unsettled at the opening of today’s stock market, in- itial transactions being decidedly ir- regular. Changes as a rule were nom- inal, although California Petroleum, which was heavy yesterday, advanced 1% points and Willys Overland pre- ferred fel! back one, Rails were firm. Low priced rails were again in de- mand. Calffornia Petroleum extended its gain to nearly 2% points and Houston moved up 1%. Willys Over- land preferred cancelled its loss and moved to higher ground. Davison Chemical climbed 1%, Federal mining and Smelting common dropped two points to a new low, and Phillips Pe- troleum yielded) one and five elghts. Foreign exchange oponed steady. When bullish demonstration in a few industrial stocks failed to rally, the rest of ihe bear traders began seeking out weak spots and met with considerable success before noon. American Hide and Leather prefer. red, and Central Leather preferred were each driven down about four points to new low prices for the year Underwood ‘Typewriter dropped point, PHillips Petroleum 2%, Wool- worth 2 and a number of others 1 to 1%. The whole lst turned heavy during the second hour with such early strong spots as California ¢Ptro- leum, Pan American, American Can and Studebaker forfeiting a good part of their gains. Call money opened at 4% percent, While the early selling had an un- settling effect In a sentimental way, the bulls did not abandon their ef- forts to promote a rise and in the afternon a good rally was staged under the leadership of the equtp- ments. Shipping and merchandise issues also became strong and United States Steel rose to 97. Fisher Body im- proved six points but Underwood Typewriter extended its loss to five points. The closing was irregular, Califor- nia Petroleum dropped more than four points and International Har- vester sank to a new low for the year in the final hour while Fisher body extended its gain to more than 13% points.

Kel- ley was submitted to the council by irate property owners in the com- munity in which Mr. Kelley resides and in which he keeps cows. The petitioners stated the old grievance that Kelley's place was unsanitary. This place, however, members of the council, had been in- spected thoroughly and had been found sanitary. RADIO CORPORATION GIVEN QUARTERS. The Casper Radio corporation will have quarters in the northwest room, second floor, of Fire Department No. 2, according to a motion passed. The broadcasting station which will be the property of the community prac- tically will be located there. It 1s now in Apartment 1 of the Tribune building. A petition for the reduction of Bonnie Brae street from 80 to 60 feet in width was referred to the city en- sineer for recommendations at the next regular meeting. A protest against changing the width of McKinley from Second to Fifth and making a boulevard with a park in the center was accepted and placed on file by the council. LABOR RIGHTS ARE ARGUED. Represontatives of the Casper labor unions spoke to the council and rather eloquently defended the rights of local contractors and of laboring men who work on city jobs. The particular point of argument was that of Contractor Scott who {is laying approximately 25 miles of sidewalks in Casper at the present time, ac cording to the men who spoke last night, only 40 cents an hour is paid on this job for a 10-hour day. Both the wages paid and the length of the day are objectionable to labor unions. Mayor Whisenhunt stated that the city waa required to let contracts to the lowest responsible bidder, and that very good reports had been heard of Mr. Scott from the place where he lived, Councilman Pettingill stated that the city could take action in the mat- ter since the state laws prohiibt it from employing @ contractor who works his men more than eight hours a day. According to the statements of the labor representatives, contractors can not bid as low 16% cents a foot ahd at the same time pay their em- ployes a living wage. MUNCIPAL GOLF COURSE PROBABLE. That the golf links now maintained on city ground g@outh of the city by the Casper Country club are to be- come municipal links when the pres ent club moves off is quite prob: able from the sentiment expressed by the council last night. Council man Pettingill made a motion to this effect which was later withdrawn. The matter was referred to the park and cemetery committee for further consideration. The city attorney was instructed at the meeting to draw up an ordin ance limiting the loads to be hauled over the streets of Casper. It is un- derstood that the loads will be limited to so much weight per tire. The attorney was also instructed to w up an ordinance requiring the Chicago & Northwestern ratlroad to open Park street. The passing of these ordinances will of course be taken up at @ later meeting. CITY TO PAY FOR DAMAGE TO AUTO. The cage of Frank Logue against the city [3 to be settled for $650. Logue suffered great damage to a Bulek car recently which was ram: med by a city car, On the advice of R Ogden, olty attorney, the counc rejected the claim of Gall Bolner for $20,000 dam. ages which she is alleged to have in curred when struck by the city water car.

NORTH CASPER TO BE ADMITTED INTO CITY LIMITS BY COUNGLL as stated by| Chamber of Commerce met with the council last night on the question off & more adequate water supply for the city. The committee consisted of HH, B. Durham, J. C. Lindsay and Charled B. Stafford.

Knittle, city_engineer, said] that an adequate source from the mountains would be the best if { |could be found, and that he felt this |was quite possible, There should be |no complaint against reservoir water, according to Mr. Knittle since {t proves with storage. The idea of using Pathfinder rese: voir as a source was practically dis missed from consideration because of its great expense. The would cost $4,000,000, per cent Interest on this would mean} an outlay of $200,000 a year. ‘This estimate is for a city of 60,000 per sons, The council and the city engineer! will make a trip to Deer Creek June 28 to look over that supply. The city has already decided ta construct a new reservoir which will] be a part of a permanent system. The! question for discussion last night was that of the source of the water. It {a the consensus of opinion that a grave! ity system would be the best. ea. Tt t said that for a communicat: ing with the inhabitants of Mars a| flag as large as Ircland and pole 500 miles long would be necessary. — Says Allenrhu Surely Conquers Rheumatism Winchester, Ky., Citizen Cheerfully Recommends This Wonderful Remedy to All Sufferers.
