The purchase of a refinery site BY
the Wyoming Refinery company has
given a decided impetus to the opera
ton OF independent oil companies In
salt Creek. and definitely assures
Casper of an independent pipeline and
refinery.
The nce Of this purchase
OF the b. Z. Brooks $40 acre site. east
OF the city. coincident with the second
meeting OF tho Wyoming Independent
oil association, Is causing considerable
comment IN local oil circles and from
all reports seems to be pleasing and
welcome news TO the officials OF the
various companies now converting in
Casper.
Casper and wyoming as a whole
will no doubt derive considerable bene-
fit from the increased activity and re-
sultant competition. But to the indie
pendent operators, whose production
has been curtailed during the past two
years due TO the inability OF the To-
cal refineries to handle their entire
output. will accrue the greater bene-
tit.

details incidental to a $40. 900 900 prop

An Electrical Wizard

1Tl VERY time some unusual sort Of IH wizard" seer, clairvoyant or G9 mind reader comes to Birming- ham, everybody wants to know the very first thing "how" it is done.
 Take "Alexander." for instances very pretty woman called me over the phone few days ago and said to me:
 Dolly, I've been wanting to see you to rag you about Alexander
 Rag me about Alexander" echoed, curiously.
 'Yes,r said she. T think he put one over you, didn't he?''
 q think not" said- What make you think so?''
 T read your story" said she and smiled at the numerous things you quoted"
 "certainly; try to be accurate" l ventured. q can't go in to see a per son and ask him to tell me the sad, sad story of his life and then quietly but 1 politely tell him he's a liar, can r?'' Hardly" she backed down. 1 Then why do you call it putting one over me-" l ventured again, curiousiy
 
 | When I pinned her down to brass tacks, you see, the result was that wasn't the one Alexander had put over" but the lady herself. 1 No more has Mir Fred LaReine. the clever young man down at Loew's Bijou, put one over' me about his I electrical" act which he is doing SC cleverly.
 I don't always tell everything I kno~ l Nf.. T l< whenever I have chance (out o1 print, hence l may have acquired tha' reputation with the outside world. but well-that's neither here nor there what we are going to talk about today is electricity" and will the class please pay attention.
 Thanks. l Any way there's MT. LaReine's owr lstatement for the fact that the sir whom he put to sleep electrically at o'clock Monday in the show windows o a big electrical shop and awakened a 7:30 on the stage of Loews Bijou Mon day evening. slept just as peacefull. and sweetly and softly as if "mothe nature" herself had "coddled' her il her own arms and sung her tired eye to sleep.
 Mir LaReine is nice young English man with a very pronounced accent (oc casionally dropping his h's), who ha made a life study of electricity, an, | what he knows about 1t would fill large sized encyclodepia. and when lasked him to tell me about his stunts he said:
 1 Tt was in London, and I had frien who had an electrical shop with whom worked. I was greatly interested il electricity and the possibilities of il and often he and I would work ou some problems which were very intri cate and sometimes quite amusing. On day crowd of people saw us doin some of our stunts and asked us wh we did not make vaudeville act ou of them, so everybody could see then
 We thought about 1t. with the resul tthat we put the act on the stage, an
 the one I am doing here is that act only, of course, with tremendous in lnovations."
 '1 use the X-ray machine entirely. MT. LaReine continued "It has seve currents-the X-ray, the violet ray, tn
 ultra violet ray, the Darsonval, the sin
 udiol and the Cangery. These current
 are used for various things, almost an
 subject can be covered by some one c them"
 Am I ever afraid?" asked Mir. La
 Reine, after me
 Never" he replied. although tw
