country Is reached ny a branch Of. the

About eight years ago the country
was settled by accompany Mormon
tblonists under The direction OF the late
Apostle owen Woodrut1 and Elder BY
ron Sessions, who has since become
president of the Big Horn stake. In
its primeval condition this part of Wy
uniing is extremely arid ana uninNtinS.
only the most sturdy and tarFsighted
individuals could content themselves
to settle there. Today, however, the
country presents a far different aspect,
Several thousand acres of land along

Viscd the people to keep control of the
land, because the time would come when
almighty oil industry would spring up
i'll that vicinity. The evidence pointing
TO the existence OF oil consisted in the
Issuance of a large quantity of natural
ens from a slight depression in one of
the farms This is about one mile
southwest OF the town of Byron
\, For number of years after the coun-
try WAS colonized the gas escaped piac-
ttcally uunoticed. Finally about three
years ago 1t attracted the attention of
some Montana tinanciers. Soon there
litter a small company was organized
and drilling began. The first we'll was
driven near the place from which the
gas was Issuing. Oil ola good grade and
ii, considerable quantity was encoun
tered at a depth of 500 feet. With this
encouragement drilling has continued,
With many Interruptions up to tho

greatly. Not less than 10 wells have

should get down to the consideration of
methods TO make these waste SLABS
available for the pulp makers. Work
along this line would also be likely to
show the way for utilization of thous-
ands of tons of s;,Wdust which are
now wasted each year.
1T is true that some utilization is be-
ing made OF mill waste at present, but
in most cases it is only the larger ana
more modern plants that are even max
ing any attempts in this line. Then,
as it is, the plants which use the waste
slabs. after latlls are made. often waste
the sawdust, and those which use the.
sawdust waste the slabs. The slab
residue from the lumber cut of tho
country is estimated. to amount to about
14.000,000 cords, of which about 100000,
with an average value of $1.4O a cord,
Is sold for fuel 3500,000 burned by the
mills for fuel, and 100000 sent to the
refuse burners. This last figure shows
the enormous quantity Of forest pro-
duct that is. pure waste.
The iron furnace Stag heaps have
been seized upon by the brick maker,
and the screening dump of the coal
mines has become a valuable source
of raw material for the brquette manu-
facturer. Experts say that it may
prove possible to- make just as good
use of the waste heaps OF the lumber
mills j slabs and sawdust can be con-
verified into pulp

large quantities of oil are undoubtedly
present. thai thee is ofth,s very first
quality, and that the conditions for Oh. j

markably good.
A detailed geological nlap$ofF the dis
atrict has been made. which shows the
size Of the field and the depth at ,Tari-
Fous points TO which drilling will likely
& be necessary. Many of the wells of :.
pennsylvania ard other parts of the
east are from 1000 to 5000 feet in depth 4
while those at Byron do not in any case
exceed 625 feet. An additional encour-S
aging feature is the almost total abb
sence of water which makes drilling
much less expensive and the condition
of the oil much more satisfactory.
DRILLING itself becomes "a simple, mat.

operation can be carried on IN the soft
shaie of the district.

the well flows probably not more than
one barrel every hour. Just before the
eruption large quantities of escaping
gas cause the oil to bubble violently
and to overflow in considerable quanti-
ties. The column of oil ejcted from
the pipe slowly increases in length I'M
til height of fully 60 feet is attained.
1t remains at this height for three to six
minutes and then gradually falls back
and lowase ceases The cause of the
eruption appears to lie in the expansive
force of the confined gases

An enthusiastic Sunday School
Rally was held last Sunday at the
Old Salem church up in the north
west corner of the county. About
one thousand persons were in at
tendance and some ten or twelve
Sunday Schools were represented.
County School Commioner, r
J. Prentiss, was the principal
speaker and delivered a timely and
strong address on "Christian Edu-
cation" Mr.. Prentiss was listen.
ed to with rapt attention and re-
ceived many hearty compliments
at the close Of his address.
Rev. MI. Young, of Wilcox
county, also spoke ably and with
zeal.
Inappropriate program was car
ried out which was excellent in
every way. Notably among the
numbers was the work done by the
little girls of the various Sunday
Schools and the several discussions
one being ''The duty of the parents
and church members to the Sunday
School," another was, "Music; its
value and relationship to the Sun
day School"
We want to note here that every
exercise of the day bespoke that
great interest and much thot for
Sunday School work by the people
of that section was self-evident.

A Remarkable Memory

Attorney B. j. Reid, of this city
Can justly proudly point to his lit
tie five year-old daughter as hay
ing a remarkable memory.
Mr.. Reid always rented a box
at the postof1ice up to to the time
of free delivery in the city. His
little daughter, Lizzie May, occas-
ionally accompanied him to the
postoffice and would see him eX-
tract his mail from his box in the
usual way.
About two week ago the little
girl was in her fathers office and
he helped her write a letter to her
sister who is away. Nothing was
heard from the letter until Miss
MarstOn CHANGED to see it lying in
the box formerly used by Mr.. Reid
and which had been lille for over
eight months.
Mr.. Reid asked his daughter
what she did with the letter and
she said she took it to the office
and put it in the hole where he
use to get his mail from. She had
remembered the box all this time
singing it out from among the
great number and as the door was
left open had thot that the proper
place to put the letter.
