UNION
Drilling Postponed,

Owing to the fact that the com.
pany that leased something like co.
900 acres for the purpose of testing
for oil and gas can not procure the
necessary casing they will be IN
able to proceed with the test work
for some time. Thomas P. James
states that a large part of their
acreage is composed OF state lands
and that the state requires work to
begin in such a short time after the
lease is given that it will be neces-
sary to have the casing on the
ground ready for operations imme-
diately after the lease is taken and
this necessitates holding off until
the required casing can be procured,
which at present owing to the rush
of war orders is impossible to secure.
