THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1925 NEW YEAR IN CASPER HOLDS BIG PROMISE Continued from Page One, nto are the great black of] sands in alt Creek structure.

In this connec- on there enfers the problem of the nile long pipe line of the Sin- riailr interests. What will be done with this carrier of ofl if Teapat doos not pick up? It ig commonly. belleved that Midcontinent ecrudes will be pumped through it to Cas- per refineries. There is no $lace in the country where the cost of refin- ing oll is as low as it is here—a cost sufficiently low to make Cas- per the dominant factor in midwest- ern marketing despite {ts distance from centers of consumption. That js the reason the refineries of this city may one day — perhaps even sooner than expected—be conyert- Ming Midcontinent crudes into usable fuels and lubricants. Every though of Casper’s outlook Rfor the future must recognize as im- portant its tributary territory—that country which finds {t the logical buying and marketing place, What, then, are conditions in the contig- uous region; At Glenrock both the Standard and Mutual refineries are at this time spending large sums of money in renewing and adding to their plants. The contribution to Glen- rock jn increased payrolls and inci- dental revenues will ultimately help Casper. Perhaps there are no more signifi- cant signs of future prosperity in central Wyoming than recent de: velopments in agriculture and Ive- stock raising in the country sur- rounding this city, For many years Casper has stood out as the greatest wool marketing center of the Rocky B Mountain west. Immense herds of sheep range the plains not far from here and the wealth of flockmasters a part, and a considerable part, of he wealth of this place.

As the plans are laid for a dozen industrial moves of outstand- ing interest, so arp the doors opened in invitation to a series of other de- yelopments which come as a matter of course, but which nevertheless are undoubtedly the means of mak- ing a great city.
