MONDAY, MAY 26, 1924, < WHEATLAND TO HAVE _ WHEATLAND, Wyo., May 26.— ‘Wheatland's chamber of commerce bas succeeded in getting a canning factory established at Wheatland. Nearly two years ago the chamber of commerce appointed & committee for the purpose of securing people interested in the canning business to locate-and build. a factory at ‘Wheatland, and they have now suo-|in Wheat! ceeded and the factory is to be built anceore os aint rey first canning factory it in State of Wyoming. * pany will be marketed in the west. It is not that any of the goods will be shipped east of the Missouri river, G. H. Craig is vice-president of the company. Mr. Craig is a chemist and was formerly with the Holly Sugar corporation, He will devote his whele time to the campany and will probably make his headquarters eatland. Mr. Craig states that he has investtgated many districts forthe company and he considera Wheatland “one of: the best districts for a pea canning factory that there is in the west, although he states for | that Wyoming has six or eight other the purpose of building arid operat- ing a number canning factoriés, to be located in Wyoming and Colo- rado, in such . ions as Gre best ood locations for pea canning fac- tories and ho believes that there will be several plants established in Wyo- ming within the ‘next few years. has some excellent agricul- tural districts. High grade peas y | and other vegetables can be success: elated with the can- fe tor & number of years ughly experienced in the operations of canning factories. Walter BE. ite, of Denver, Colo., is president “of the company. Mr. ‘White has been connected with the canning industry in Colorado for many years and has been a director of the National Canners’ association, which association maintains its la- boratories and eral offices in ‘Washington, D. C. This association 4s composed of all the principal can- ners of the United States. The Colorado-Wyoming Canning company will bulld three canning factories this year, to be ready for operation for the season of 1925, The first factory will be built at Wheat- jand, and the second factory at Monte Vista, Colo. The location for the third factory has not yet been definitely decided upon. Each factory will have a capacity of 100,000 cases of canned peas Pep season. All the goods packed by this com- fully grown for canning purposes at & substantial profit, both to the grower and the canning factory. Wyoming should have many can- ning factorins in view of the fact that all canned goods used in the state muSt be shipped in from a far distance, which adds to the cost and is one of the reasons that canned food products are extremely high in Wyoming. By establisting canning factories in Wyoming it will not only have a tendency to reduce the cost in Wyoming on canned food products but it will bring millions of doliars Per year of money into the state for canned goods that will be shipped to the coast and-other parts of the west Not only this, but it will keep wit in the state the milligns of dollars that are now being sent ovt in pay- ment of canned goods purchased in the east. Plans are now being prepared for the buildings that will be erected in Wheatland, and it is expected that work will be commenced on them within the next 60 days. PRICE REDUCTIONS FAIL TO HALT NEW FIELD OPERATIONS By J. C. ROYLE \GSpecial Correspondent Casper Tri- bune) NEW YORK, May 26.—Time, tide and the owners and lessees of: oil lands wait for no man. Oll men‘are not even waiting for prices to be ad- vantageous. A) ~emoh: is -ao- tive today in bringing oil to the sur- face as fast as possible, in spite of the fact that price reductions still are anticipated in some fields. This activity with pump and drilling rig in the field is being supplemented by emilar animation displayed with fountain pen and check book. ‘Thousands of acres of lands rich 4n_oll have charged hands in the last few weeks, for the deal involv- ing the Shell Union Oil Corporation and the Union Oj! of California has not been the only big transaction re- cently . Southwestern ofl men see in the purchase of numerous P: handle gas companies by the Prairie Ofl and Gas company the prospect of a tremendous pipe line-four hun- dred miles long to carry gas to Kan- sas City, Mo, The companies taken over by Prairle Oll and Gas were the Producers and Refiners Corpora- tion; the Mountain States Producers; the Amarillo Oll company! and the Panhandle Pipe Line company. By the deal the Prairie company gains possession of the entire Panhandle gas id. The Cosden company has recently Purchased a large acreage from the Phillips Petroleum company in the middie Wost and is prepared to start new drilling operations thereon. Reports from Pawhuska, Okla. dicate that the new Atl seven miles southwest of that place, Promises to rival the Burbank pool after a few more wells are drilled. The new field is now producing about 10,000 barrels agday and the first well was brdught'in only about four months ago. Flush production {s continuing in Arkansas end Louisiana fields des: pite the cut in Smackoyer heavy from $1 to 85c a barrel. ‘The week Just past showed an increase in daily nvei of 5,022 barrels to 208,000 barrels. The Ohio Ol! company's 5,- 000 barrel gusher in the new Cotton Valley, La., field has added another factor to the problem of possible over-production {n that section. Although the California fields are not showing such Increases In pro- duction as they have ben doing in the past, the effort to find and open new Producers is continuing with the ut: most activity, The time and money the big companies are willing to ex- pend may be judged by the fact that the Brownig-Keller well of the Stan! dard Oi} of California in the Santa Fe Springs has only just been plug- ged and abandoned when it reached @ depth of 7,212 feet or more than a mile and a third, At that depth, a ubterranean stream of hot water flowing 3,500 barrels a day was en- countered, ending chances of oll ands at a greater depth. ‘The well was the deepest ever dril- led, being 532 feet lower than the ‘Torrence well which held the record for two years.’ It took three crews of five men each, using rotary tools, 332 actual drilling days to discover the well was a “duster.” In the en: tire distance sunk, only two show- inge of oll were encountered, one at 4,904 feet and another at 5,970 feet. Neither was productive of paying quantities. Not only was was the company Willing to spend more than $200,000 on this hole inthe ground, but the crowa were 80 interested in the out- bome-that-they refused to take vacations, deferring until {it was finally decided to abandon the bore. Several records beside depth were established. A fishtail drilling bit Was lost at a depth of_7,196 feet and recovered after “fishing” only three days. So far as known, no lost equipment ever was. recovered from & well at a depth below 4,500 feet before. Gasoline consumption undoubtedly has been on the increase this year, the amount used so far showing an advance of around 15 per cent even over the remarkable figures of 1923. But stocks of crude of! and gasoline show small signs of speedy reduc- tion, The Carter Oi! company, a mi@-contifent subsidiary f the Standard Oil of New Jersey, has bought between 1,250 and 15,000 tank carloads of gasoline from twenty dit- ferent Independent refiners in Okla homa, Kansas and North Texas and this. gas is now being ‘shipped to Baton Rouge, La. The amount bought exceeds ten milion gallons and the price was sald to have been 9%c a gallon, . Great Northern to Issue Certificates WASHINGTON, May 26.—The Great Northern railroad today asked authority from the Interstate Com merce Commission to issue $4,400,000 of five per cent equipment trust certificates for the purchase, build- ing and rebuilding of 3,000 refrigera tor cars. The certificates will be sold at not less than 97 per cent of par.
