Wyoming.

Since the opening of the Mule Creek
field. which lies fifty-five miles north
of Lusk. a grand rush for the new
found structure has been in progress.
Salt Creek, the development of
which has been seriously hampered
since 1909 by the governments policy,
will undoubtedly leap to the front in
a campaign of active development.
That the Poison Spider oil field will
see Il development campaign during
the coming summer, second to none
in the central part of the state is the
belief of officials who plan to make a
thorough test of the field which con-
tains some of the largest gas wells in
the state and is considered virtually a
proven structure.
A bill has been introduced in the
Wyoming Legislature to prohibit what
is termed "wanton waste" of natural
gas by its manufacture into carbon
black, an industry that has gained con-
siderable proportions at CrOwly. WyO.,
where gas from the Byron fields is
used for that purpose. Similar plants
ure unOer cOnotruCtlOu, anu IL Is stat
ed that the new Industry is threatened
by the proposed measure. Wyoming
has more than billion cubic feet of
open flow gas per day in Sand Draw.
Buffalo Basin, Cody, Oregon Basin,
Elk Basin and Grass Creek, and plans
for carbon plants at each place are
well under way.
A well will be spudded In shortly on
the side of the Pine mountain, eighteen
miles west of Casper, by the Curtis
Petroleum Company, which already
has opened up large gas wells In the
series of syncl!nes CO which Pine
mountain is a part.
The Teapot syndicate well in the
Salt Greek field, adjoining land upon
which the Mosher unit drillers recently
brought in q wnll, has spudded in, ac-
cording to Frank Mclaughlin. Der

Christmas Stories By Members OF Every Evenings Staff

Their life was AZ harmonious as their
courtship and their usefulness increased
until they became the head of the colony,
except, of course, the pastor, for the
clergy in those days were in truth the
shepherds Of the fiocks they brought from
the old world and protected from the
wolves Of evil in every form.
Many children, II in all, were born unto
the Derricksons, and all weathered the
ills Of the second summer, then unknown
as peril to infant life, and survived
many recurring epidemics Of smallpox.
As years passed slowly on the Derrick
sons became rich in the currency Of the
community, tradeabie merchandise, and
through negotiations with the Indians
accumulated big stores OF this wealth,
for those times. The call OF the home
however, eventually came 10 them, as n
hns come to every son and daughter OF
Eve in all time, and they returned TO
Sweden and found there the repoae suit
ed To conclude a life go thrilling
as tanning the wilderness and trying To
bring the savage into the realm of civiliza-
ton Here they found a welcome and
here they told the tales Of their expert
enccs in. the great new world that IN
spired others to seek out this wonderland.
Thus the first Christmas in Delaware
had mighty results. II saved the colony
from that depression that comes from
unreIieved hesrtsickness, and held it
intact until eventually it became factor
in the upbuilding Of this country. The
way to all this was paved by one little
maid whose voice turned all from the
cherries gloom of the moment and set
their thoughts on the unfailiBg Infinite
and perhaps God did the rest.

Wood pulp production in the United
States during the month of November,
1919, was 1899 tons of all grades
according to announcement today by
the Federal Trade Commission. This
figure is compared with production in
November. 1918, of 139,3SS tons.
There were lSS.SS7 tons of wood
pulp of all grades on hand at the end
of the month, a report issued by the
commission says, which is more than
so 600 tons than was on hand at the
same time in 1918. Stocks of bleached
sulphite easy bleaching sulphite and
soda pulp decreased slightly. during
the month, but there was an increase
during the month in the stocks of all

PARIS, December 2S.-Chester F.
Ladd, former marine, WHO fought at st
Mihiel, has found that t'e sacrifices he
made for his country do not rest entire
ly unappreciated. Destitute in the
midst Of a foreign city, with wife and
baby to support and suffering from con-
sumption of the second degree, he
turned to comrades he had met at the
front for aid. His appeal was not in
vain Members of the American Legion
subscribed 5000 francs (S1,00O) to
send him to Italy for his health. If
that is not enough the anonymous SUBJ
scribers have promised to give more.
These former soldiers and sailors re-
member the suffering they shared with
Ladd under the hail of German fire and
friendships formed then should not be
lightly broken. Officers of Post No.
of the American Legion in Paris declare
that Ladd is entitled to some sort of
government insurance money which
they are going to help him get.
His consumption can be traced di-
rectly to the German gas he inhaled
