Hotehkiss Had Oil Company Meeting.
The directors of the Western Colo
RADIO Oil company held a lengthy ses-
sion last Saturday with all members
present except Mr.. Oliver who was
then in Green River, Utah, looking
after loading the machinery bought
there. Many questions of interst were
brought up and disposed of. The df-
rectors voted to accept subscriptions
for stock in lots of not less than 10
shares are sold. This will enable
everyone who wishes to secure an in
terest in the company to do so where
the former 100 share subscriptions
will also strike all names off the list
who have not paid at least the first
assessment within the next thirty
days. Mr.. Oliver reported that two
cars Of the machinery will be loaded
at Green River the 90 or "a so that
within a short time we shall have the
real beginning of an oil we'll. The
road work will be bugun in a short
time now as the snow has been going
fast during the past week and the
directors expect to have everything in
running order by the middle of April
An executive committee composed of
H. E. Roberts. E. NJ. Duke and S. B.
Hartman was appointed in order that
the work may be carried on without
calling a meeting of the full board
of directors. All persons are earnest
ly requested to boost for this propo-
sition which bids fair to revolutionize
financial conditions both in the val
ley and county. There are none so
skeptical as not to admit that the
has better than an even
chance of striking oil and we all know
that it will be the dawn of a new
era for Hotchkiss. If you can't boost
for a company that is organized to
help the country out you might at
least refrain from playing the anvil
