SALT CREEK FIELD IS BOOM ORK SIGNIFIE NO LIMITS FOR UE OF FIELD Permanent Impr o v e- ments to be Put In To- talling Millions BY W. R. WRIGHT. The world’s heavy de- mand for gasoline and the world’s largest oil field have an economic connection that is ‘reflected in the continued substantial aativity in the -Salt Creek field, in production, ex ploitation, new drilling, and_parti- cularly inthe permanent improve- ments continuously being planned for the big Casper field. As long as the ;world demands gasoline in ever increasing amounts; and there is a seeming unlimited oil supply in the Salt Creek and surroundig fields, just so long will permanency be the keynote of the development and im- Provement plans for the district. This is exampled in the proposed water supply plant for the whole Salt Creek district, following the fi- nancing of a company headed by Gus Hardendorf, which proposes to bring water into Midwest from Tis- dale Dome. The water, at its ori, nation 4s warm, and has: @ trace of sulphur in eits-rixperiments have “shown that the sulphur trace leaves the water by cotitact with the ‘air, and the properties of the water are ideal for general use.

It is proposed, to pipe this water for the city water supply, of the field, saving the pumping costs of Casper water to the field, as is done at the present time.

When we want the oil, we have it ready.” When asked his opinion of the Ife of the field, he remarked that he was getting along in years, and didn't expect to see the day when Salt Creek would not be producing substantially. He thus -walved aside any intimation that the field was not a continu- uous heavy producer for fhe future. The hotel Midwest gives to one about as graphic a picture of indus- trial activity as can be shown in the field, when three times a day, over 700 employes of the camp and field are fed, a total of 2100 meale a day.

(By the As- sociated Press).—Recent antl-Jap- anese activities in California, re- ports of which, printed in leading Japanese newspapers, caused a sensation here, were apparently due to labor troubles, Consul General Oymaya, stationed at San Francisco, has reported to the foreign office after an investigation. His report does not mention the Ku - Klux Klan. First reports attributed the tivities-to the klan. The consul general said that his inquiry disclosed there had been demonstrations staged at the plants of two fruit packing com; panies at Hopland, Cal., in which shots were fired. The foreign office intends to leave the matter_in the hands of Mr. Oyama. ac.

VING SUN DANCE 1] Aborigines are Taking Part In Forbidden Ceremonies On Reservation—Fete Lasts Three Days and Nights With 1,600 Indians Present For Occasion BY L. L. NEWTON, LANDER, Wyo., July 28.—Overriding the objections of the Indian Agent R. P. Hses, Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians are indulging today in the forbidden Sun Dance, a sacred ceremony which lasts three days and three nights. Out at Ft. Washa- kie, sixteen miles from Lander the Shoshones have been getting ready for several days. The huge pole in the center of a circle of poles represents the Diety or the sun and the twelve poles of the circle may be the tradition which has come down through the ages numbering the 12 tribes of the He: brews. Around the outside poles, bowers of brush are being built for selter when the Indians fall ex- hausted. The place is ighted by night with a huge bon fire. A smudge is built near the circle and into this smoke the dancers go to, be toasted by the heat in the belief that the soles of their bare feeet are tough. ened for the ordeal. Every Indian of comes to the ceremonies. than 1,600 from infants on backs of squaws to the older man or brave able to get there «ill circle the ceremony grounds. They cook as best they can for the ones who do not dance but that is in- cidental. Within the circle of poles the In- dian braves dance almost constantly for three days and nights. ch dancer has a bone whistle between his teeth and as he exhales his breath the sound augments the weird music,of the tomtoms. Back and forth, toward the center pole some mince forward with half-inch hops, head thrown back while others with bodies and the reservation uaa pole and paths are lttie hops approach the back akain until deep worn in the ground.

Approaching the pole they throw their arms about it as though seeking protection and help. The descent of spiritual power seems to faff then upon them glv- ing health and srength as well as forgiveness of sins, At times the sick of the tribe are brought within the circle‘of the dancers, Theys are lined up and the participants prance about them, striking their chests with some instrument believed to transmit strength and health to the diseased KA ones.

With the faint streak of dawn the braves throw their arms to the east and begin the last lap of the dance. Reaching a climax as the first beams of light from the rim of the sun strike the dancers, the dance ends with paroxsyms of physical exertion and wierd yells and groans impossible to describe. The sight must be seen to be ap- preciated and last year when the word went. out that the dance was to be held, people came hundreds ‘of miles to see it.
