Projected Pipe Line.

there being no adequate transportation
facilities, has heretofore been burned
to prevent 1t overlooking surrounding
agricultural fields.
The capital behind this enterprise is
mostly English; the balance of the in
terests are in The Hague and Amster-
dam. 1t is contemplated that if after
investigation the party finds that the
reports of the experts are not exag
gerated, the first oil will be marketed
in Omaha inside of ninety days. This
is to be done by the cooperation of
the Northwestern railroad, the officials
of which have recently been over the
field and indicated a hearty inclination
to help the project.
A pipe line will be built to Lander,
and Wyoming oil of the new syndicate
will be shipped to the distributing CEN
ter during the erection of the pipe
line. Besides the object Of cheaper
fuel. the significance of this pipe line
to Omaha will be in the erection Of
huge oil refinery here for the refining
Of the oil and the manufacture of its
by-products. Colonel e. Harrison Power
remained in Omaha to establish a mar
ket and learn the facilities for the dis
tribution of the Oil.

fields nine miles south of Lander, Wyo.
They have bought the land formerly
owned by the late Frank Murphy of
Omaha, as we'll as that of the other
large landholders in that vicinity.
Experts of international prominence

Sir B. Redwood of England and the
European expert. DR.. Poro, have pro-
nounced the Wyoming fields as the big
