OIL COMPANY SAID TO BE BUY
ING OIL LANDS IN
WYOMING.
Through Its Agents the Company Has
Secured Four Thousand Acres in
Carbon County-Oetermined to Sc
cure Enough Oil Land to Insure
Supply Of Oil of Its Own.

The Standard Oil company is secur
ing oil lands in Colorado and Wyo
ming, says the Denver Post of Thurs
day. Despite the persistent stories
that the great corporation never owns
oil lands, but contents itself with buy
ing and refining oil. the information
comes from high authority that the
Standard company has entered the new
western field.
1t is said that most of those Pennsyl
vania oil wells which are controlled by
the Standard company, are becoming
exhausted. Hence it is seeking new
fields to supply its enormous business
The possibilities of competition have
increased with the new discoveries in
the west. The constant reports that
no other company than the Standard
can do a successful business in Ameri,
ca, are said to emanate from its repre-,
sentatives. In reality it is said to be
more active than ever before in fore,
stalling all possible rivals.
Through its agents the Standard has
secured 1000 acres of oil land in Car,
bon county, Wyo., it is said. and will
thoroughly develop it's new property.
This land lies close to Fort Steele and
Walcott. in the great basin which ex-
tends southwark into Colorado. includ,
ing Boulder. Fort Collins and adjacent
southeastern territory.
David H. Moffat, George E. Ross
Levin and other First National bank
capitalists have also acquired a
big tract of oil land in this
immediate vicinity, it is stat
ed on good authority. and will
proceed to sink wells without delay.
The Moffat company owns six full
sections. it is said, or 3,S4O acres of
land. about six miles east of Fort
Steele. The Union Pacific railroad
passes directly through this section,
affording ready transportation. The
slope Of the land in some cases would
permit the piping of oil to the rail,
road.
There are several producing wells
near at hand. The Buckley well at
Walcott is yielding good oil. The Rol-
Inns we'll, near Fort Steele, is on Union
Pacific land. It had reached a depth
of about 900 feet when gas was en-
countered in immense quantities. 1t
may develop a gusher. At present it
is not being worked owing to litigation.
The oil fields of Casper and Lander
are in the same general basin as those
of Fort Steele. Several wells in this
territory are capped for the present.
Foreseeing a great future for west
ern oil and an enormous production
during the mex five years, the giant
corporation is determined to cur
enough oil land at once to insure an
ample supply of its own. 1t is said to
hold land near Boulder, Debeque and
Pagosa Springs, as well as in the Beau
mont field.

THE CLEVER GOAT.

| Patrick O'Flaherty of New Yorl
owned billy goat, which, after tn.
manner of its kind, occasionally de-
parted from the straight and narrow
path. Patrick also had a new rec
shirt, for which he had paid $3.50, Iega
currency.
Now Pat awoke on the morning OF
election day to a realizing sense of the
fact that a holiday confronted him
He sought his new red shirt that he
might ffttingly celebrate the occasion
The shirt, however, was not where he
had left it.
Nora he demanded of his wife,
where's that new shirt of mine?"
You haven't any new shirt" she re-
piled.
But have" insisted Pat. Il bought
it yesterday and paid two dollar bills
and a fifty-cent piece for it. Now,
where Is it?''
Il know, but you haven't got it any
more" Nora continued, sadly; 1.-The
goat has swallowed it,"
Pat was furious and vowed that he
would get even with the goat. He'll
never swallow a shirt of mine again. =
he remarked, with a sinister look which
BODIED no good for poor Billy.
There is a railroad track near Pat S
house, and to that track he went forth
with, leading Billy by stout rope. Mr..
Billy was then tied firmly between the
rails, one horn connected to one side
and the other to the opposite. Pat then
waited the arrival of the next train,
which was due in fifteen minutes.
The train came flying around the
curve. Pat looked the other way. He
was of humane disposition and did
not want to see the goat killed. He
turned toward home, merely glancing
around to assure himself that the exc
cution had been properly accomplished.
Lo and beholdi There stood the goat.
ensconced safely between the rails and
calmly gnawing at the ropes by which
he was bound.
Billy had coughed up that red shirt
and tagged the train.-New York
