STATE OWN
SPRINGS
Transfer of The
Saratoga Hot Springs
Made Recently to the
State of Wyoming

After a delay OF several months
formal transfer was a few days since
made Of the Saratoga Hot Springs to
the state of Wyoming as provided for
in a bill passed by the LAST legisla-
ture.
The delay in making this transfer
was necessitated because OF the fact
that the title was not clear and At
torney General Walls would not ac-
cept the property until the owners
were able to present a title clear In
every respect.
Although formal transfer OF this
property vas not made until a few
days since the state has practically
had possession for the past four
months.
Warden Hadsell has had a crew Of
prisoners stationed on this property
for the past several months and has
done wonderful work in improving
and utilizing this property.
Governor Carey expects to be In
Carbon county within the next week
or so and will make a visit to the
Hot Springs property with the idea
Of seeing Just what can be done to-
wards the development of the springs
and their use by the people.

companies have things much their
way, they are c%urtailing on pro-
duction. That is because they con-
troll the situation so they can store
the oil in the ground. Take Merritt
OIL Corp, for example. Where they
can't store in the ground they are
erecting tankage. Recall the plans of
the Standard of Indiana to erect g.
100000 barrels Of tankage at Cas-
per . These moves certainly look as
II the big companies believe this de-
preston Is to be short-lived and are
getting ready for higher prices.
Take a look at the situation in
1919 when consumption was running
ahead OF production. Storage tanks
were full and the operators had big
stocks ON hand. Prices reached their
highest level and at these high prices
they began to empty their tanks.
Then, when the tAnkage war largely
depleted, prices went down and the
operators are stocking up again. Fill
ing at low prices-emptying at high
prices. And the tanks are almost
full. Doesn't that look like higher
prices are coming?
Quotations have remained at the
low figure nov for some time. 1t "a
a good time to bring about adjust
ments. Standard OIL has taken over
Midwest. Sinclair sold a half inter
est in its pipe lines to the Standard.
Gufy-Gillespie has fallen into the
Standard lap. Producers Reiners
have been tanned in Salt Creek. So
1t Is all down the Line. European re-
ports state that Standard has secured
it's concessions in Russia and will ad-
vance credits for $4O0, 900. 900. Mex
lean supreme court decided against
the retroactive features of Article 27.
Heads of Standard Oil and other COM
panies are in Mexico adjusting that
situation. Doesn't 1t look as IL the
situation Is being cleared up to the
satisfaction of the powers chat be?
Even the wage conditions, freight
rates prices of OH field supplies, ETC.,
are being adjusted. II preparations
point to action, then the signs GER
tainly point to a resumption in the
oil industry which will outrank the
sweeping recovery In the automobile
and other industries which were sub
jected to. like discipline.
