The states coming position due to the
expansion of the oil industry will at
tract many people in many callings.
There is much in store for the wild
and woody Wyoming of former years.
Oil basins are not stopped by boun-
Diary monuments between states.
There must be oil in Colorado in
places hitherto unsuspected. Every
encouragement should be given to cap
ital to find it. We have producing
wells in the Florence district and at
Boulder. discovered a generation back,
but these should be but specks on the
unseen ocean beneath the state.
Demand brings the supply. This
has been the history of Colorado in
metals and there is not much differ
ence between prospecting for oil and
hunting for rare minerals in the bow
els of the earth.
Oil and the automobile go together.
At the beginning of this year there
were S.250,0O0 automobiles in the
United States Twelve years ago the
number was $4,000. A dozen years
ago the production of gasoline was
under 1000. 900 barrels. This year
the estimated production is placed at
"a, 900 900 barrels. The average con-
sumption of gasoline per car is figured
at 500 gallons a year. If it had not
been for improved processes of eNtrac-
ton, like cracking the oil molecules
for their gasoline content, thru pro-
cesses invented by chemist of the
federal government on the one hand
and chemist of the Standard Oil cor
poration on the other, the scarcity of
oil today would be severe handicap
upon not only the war but peace indus
tries and conveniences and American
luxury Even with all the inventive
genius of the nation, the demand is
keeping ahead of the supply. If this
state can join with Wyoming in meet
ing the demand it will be comforting,
as it has done several times before in
the metallurgical field, national ben

EXACT EXPLANATION
OF TERM oil DOME"

What is dome? That is the ques-
ton every stranger who is not familiar
with geology or with oil asks the first
day he is in Wyoming oil field, be-
cause about all he hears is of domes.
In the great upheaval waves were ere
ated. Water rushed in and, encounter
ing oil, forced it to the highest points,
as oil, being lighter, fioated. That is
why oil is found on submits instead of
in valleys, as it were. The water
stands and thereby holds the oil in
place. In case some disturbance has
occurred that let the water out, then
the oil has been released, but as a
rule the oil is held in the same place
on the dome where it was placed pos
sibly couple of million of years ago.

THE STATE AND ITS OIL FIELDS

A large amount of state school land
has been leased of late to prospectors
for oil Under businesslike precau-
tions this is the right thing to do. The
state should not give up all its inter
est in the production of its public
land. Neither should the state put
barriers in the way of prospectors and
corporations legitimately engaged in
the search for oil. The Colorado au-
thorities ought to take council with
the Wyoming officers and profit from
the experiences of the adjoining state,
which in very little while now ought
to be "taxless state" due to the
profits from oil leases on state lands.
It's university will soon be one of the
very wealthy Western institutions.

THE NEWEST OIL QUEEN
BY ARTHUR CHAPMAN

There's gusher in at the water hole
Where the sheepmen made their fight;
They're drilling deep the Tepee Pole
With the Two-Bar herds in sight:
They've struck it rich in the sea of sage
Where the Cheyennes fought the Crows.
And Wyoming hist'rys Topped page
Where the glad petroleum flows
She was born of strife, but has yielded wealth
From the days of her cradlehood;
Since the savage stalkcd his game by stealth
BY her children she's always stood
Red men white, she has played them fair,
And her gift books never close:
Wyomngs her name and she dwells up there
Where the glad petroleum flows.
Her brooding hills have looked on sights
That shall quicken the minds of men
While history lives. Those days and nights
Shall never recur again.
The cowboy, soldier and redskin fade
From the scene-and the sunset glows
On the hive of industry man has made
Where the glad petroleum flows.
She has sent her brawny sons back there
To carry their part in the strife.
But isn't alone that she'll do her share
With the best of her manly life;
She has tapped to its depths magic store
Meath the cactus and prairie rose,
So here's to Wyoming, who aids in war,
Where the glad petroleum flows.

COLORADO JOINS
IN OIL INDUSTRY
LAND BOARD HELPS TO
BRING STATE TO FRONT.
Thirty Leases Granted Since First of
Year Covering 146,724 Acres;
List of the Most Promi-
nent Developers.

Aided by the state land board, Colo
RADIO is advancing the oil industry here
in such way as to give promise that
the state will soon be among the
greatest oil producing sections in the
country.
There have been some thirty oil
leases granted by the land board since
the first of the year and drilling there
on is soon to start. Contracts entered
into with the lessees provide for the
drilling and cents per acre surface
loyalty. Approximately 146,7 acres
are thus leased.
When the state passes into a pro-
ducing era the royalty will be raised.
The state also reserves the right to
sell any of the land and retain the oil,
gas and mineral rights. The lessees

of whom live in Denver, with the

Start Fires in Barracks.

smoke, and testifies to the fact that
the men are comfortable and will
not suffer from the cold.
Mai. Max Toltz, in charge of heat

his fight with cold weather. Every
available man was put on the work
of erecting stoves in quarters OF the
enlisted men some time ago, when
the order was issued from Washing
ton to equip barracks OF the men
with hot air stoves.
Before the appearance Of cold
weather last week, every occupied
barrack had been fitted with stove,
and coal had been placed near the
quarters so that with the first cold
snap fire could be started.
Enlisted men fare better than Of
ficers in the heating proposition. All
work was stopped on heating plants
near officers quarters, to work on
those of the enlisted men.

SLIDING BANKS CAUSE
HEAVY Loss AT FORKS
Red River Has Little Water, and
Red River Power Company Plant
iS ENDANGERED.

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 11.-Seri-
Gus damage is threatened business
property along the Red river by rea-
son of the low water in the stream.
Lack Of pressure against the banks
has permitted the soil to slide, and
as a result, heavy losses are like
ly.
The Red River Power Co., the big
plant of which is located on the river
bank, is experiencing considerable
difficulty maintaining its gas pipes.
These have been broken several
times, and big pipes that connect the
several buildings OF the plant are
threatened with complete destruc-
ton.
The sliding OF the river bank also
has made ii necessary to lower the
steel towers used by the company 60
carry its power lines across the river,
a tower being erected on each side.
Two top sections have been removed
so far.

of is per cent.
Regardless Of whether this plan
Is followed, the entire 10000 men
will not be reported for duty before
Dec. 1. as period exemptions and
stragglers will keep registration Of

The special exemptions were
made to farmers and others whose
occupations were such as to gain
them the privilege Of reporting later.
The date to report for some of these
men is as late as Thanksgiving day,
while others are due to come to the
cantonment one and two weeks ear
lier. . ..r.
Clothing will be on hand for the
entire increment by the date set for
their arrival. Every day carloads
of clothing and supplies are being
shipped to the division quartermas-
ter and are issued to company COM
manders as quickly as is possible.
Before the arrival Of the next in
crement company officers will draw
enough bedding and uniforms to
equip a war strength company. Sup
ply sergeants will have been ap-
pointed in the various company units
and will issue clothing to the new
men upon reporting for duty.
This plan has not been feasible
heretofore, because OF the lack of
quartermaster stores. With a suffi-
cient supply on hand by Oct. rs, as
promised by the duartermaster's de-
partment, it can now be carried out
in a satisfactory manner.

Sport OF All Kinds.
Camp Dodge soldiers are to have
ample opportunity to indulge in
physical exercise ana sports OF all
descriptions.
A physical director will work
from each of the Y. M. c. A. build
ings, and in addition considerable
recreation work will be organized
under the direction of the war
recreation board, with John L. Grit
fifth. former coach at Drake univer-
sity, in charge. --
All clean sport will be ENCOURAGED,
including football, baseball, volley-
ball, townball, wrestling, boxing and
similar competitions.
Already many of the batteries and
companies are planning the organi-
cation of football teams, and several
are now in the field.
That boxing is popular was shown
by the crowd that tried to get into
building 80 last week when the first
boxing bouts among the men were
held, and every effort will be made
to encourage the sport upon a clean
basis.
