STANLEY 15 OPTIMISTIC ON COLORADO OlL Atlantic Company Down 1,000 Feet in Well at Fort Collins. V. B. Stanley, field engineer of the Atlantic Petroleum corporation which is drilling a well in the fa- mous Fort Col'ing field not far from. the Union's pipet i Whitaker was accom: , Clem Hinds, who 4s visiting his fam- ily at Salt Creek over the holidays, Referring to the progress being made by the Atlantic's Country, Club No. 1, northeast corner of south half of northeast quarter, section 36-8-69, Mr. Stanley said: “Our well is now down. more than 1,000 feet and drill- ing is progressing rapidly, with no difficulties being encountered. We expect to run a tiring of 12%-inch casing next week and after it is set we sha:l have a straight run for pro- duction.” The Union Oil company of Call- fornia which has proved the field, has three wells nearby the one being drilled by the Atlantic and all of them should be brought in some time during the latter part of February. Sales of Atlantic stock are report- ed by. Mr. Stanley to)be numerous and;before long the company should be complete’y financed. Reason for the quick disposition of the stock is to be attributed to the excellent po- sition of the structure of the Atiantic well, the log cf which shows forma- tions to be five feet shallower than in the big Whitaker well. ———————— STAR CAGERS ARRIVE FOR GAME TONIGHT Breathing the spirit of their Norse ancestors, Olson’s Terrible Swedes, basketball team de luxe, ar- rived in Casper this morning to take on the Methodists, champs of the city league last season, this evening at the high school gym.

Such fihal hearing was originally assigned for October 7, 1924. Previous to that time, up- on appl cation of the plaintiff, a commission had been issued upon an order of the court to a commis- sioner in the Dominion of Canada to take the deposition of witnesses re- siding there. An attempt was made to secure’ the. testimony des red. The plaintiff was met with a chal- lenge to the sufficiency of the law of the Province in the Dominion under which the depositions were sought.

Their next objective, Ledoux said, would be the Protestant Epis- copal church of St. Mark’s in the Bouwerle, the scene of the Euryth- mic dances.

This was the date stipulated for the evacuation in the treaty of Versailles provided. Germany had fulfilled her obligations under the treaty. The text cf the letter will probably not be published until it has had time to réach Berlin. The note will be presented by the five allied ambassadors in Berlin simu taneously, it is stated, the al- lies thus presenting a solid front to Germany. Although the outlines of the note were drawn today the document needs some finishing touches, ro it was decided that the Ambassadors would not sign it until Wednesday next when the £4 dis) hoid another session. The fact that the phrasing is seen to require so much time is taken to mean that Germany will be given the reasons why the evacuation !s to be postponed instead of merely the blunt announcement of the allied decision to remain in the Cologne bridgehead. The ambassadors decided it was necessary to settle definitely now the question of possible date of the evacuation,or to choose between the French and British view points as to the advisability of withdrawing, the British being reported inclined to favor evacuation after the receipt of the mf‘itary mission's complete report. The essential thing, it was agreed, was to notify Germany that the evacuation could not take place January 10. The question as to what may properly be done when the final report of the mission is sub- mitted remains open for discussion when the time comes.
