CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE
HAS PASSED INTO HANDS
OF NEW YORK PUBLISHER

The Casper Daily Tribune, which.
under the editorial and business
management of J. E. Hanway and
his son, Earl E. Hanway. has be-
come one of the leading newspapers
in the intermountain west, was sold
last Friday to Charles w. Barton. q
New York newspaper man. and as
~sociates. who took possession the
following day. E. E. Hanway will
remain with the new owners as bust
ness manager.
J. E. Hanway, the retiring proprie.
tor Of the Tribune. will leave for the
east and south for a protracted
recreation trip and upon his return
to Casper will devote himself to his
Oil and real estate interests.
The story Of the growth of the
Tribune from an obscure country
weekly paper to a great daily. the
sale OF which involved q quarter of
a million dollars, reads like an

At all, have been the means Of start
ing . movement to increase storage
facilities all ver the country, 50 that
production will not be hampered and
heavy losses incurred by shutting
down wells that ought to be on the
pump.
The storage campaign has invaded
practically all oil fields. including
those in Wyoming. where the slogan,
Buy . Tank" 10 frequently heard
and where 1t 10 said to be the order
OF the day. Several weeks ago tho
Midwest Refining company increased
an order for twelve 0.000-barrel
steel tanks TO seventy Of the same
capacity. This would give this COM
pany storage for Salt Creek crude to
the total Of $500, 900 barrels. Other
leading producers in the Salt Creek
field are adopting the same policy.
According to the Inland Oil Index
this can mean but M thing, the big
producing interests see a need of
Salt Creek crude by another year
and are going to try to get all of It
they can while the price is cheap.
This will result in building millions
OF barrels of storage. throwing wells
wide open and probably drilling
many more.
The buy-a-tank idea has invaded
the Oklahoma fields. II indeed it did
not originate there and has been
taken up by the Mid Continent Oil
& Gas Association. 1t Is reported to
be meeting with wonderful success
and many Independent tanks are
now being completed and many more
have been ordered. Tank companies
state that they are receiving many
Inquiries and they are offering to sell
the tanks on very favorable terms.
A $4,000 barrel tank can be bought
with one-fourth cash and the bal
ance when oil Is sold from the tank.
One company offers to furnish tanks
In sizes from 1000 barrels to 5000
barrels. and carry the entire cost of
these tanks until the Oil which is
placed in them is sold. An influ-
entail committee from the association
Is urging the members to buy tanks
and Is meeting with almost 100 per
cent success. The shutting down
movement is also being generally OBJ
served. The buying of so many
tanks and the curtailing of drilling
operations cannot help but have a
stabiiizing effect on the market and
the industry in general.

This list Of s%cintillating stars Is, as
intimated. fragmentary and incom-
plete. The captains changed players
80 often that nobody on earth could
keep track of them. Every once in
a while some player would wend his
way sadly towards the bench and out
of the brush a substitute would
emerge and take his place. Practical
ly every player on both sides pitched
at some stage of the game. The
game lasted but seven innings and 1t

$2,500,0O0 Arrives, Con-
signed TO ]. p. Morgan
& Co.; Bankers, How
ever, Are Not Instructed

A shipment Of eighty-hve boxes Of
gold bars, valued at approximately
t2,500 900. arrived yesterday on the
Cunard liner Berengaria for the ac-
count Of the British government. As
has been usual IN the past, the ship
ment VS. consigned 20 J. p. Morgan &
Co., who serve as the fiscal agents Of
the British Treasury 10 this country.
Another shipment Of like amount Is on
the water. but beyvnd this the extent
Of the movement which may be In
preparation for the payment on
October l, Of Sl2b,000000 interest on
the British debt to the United States
Treasury. Is not known.
The fact that the shipment was en-
route was deducted from the eircum-
stance that the latest official British
financial statements showed e loss Of
gold which could not be explained, ex-
cept In relation 10 an export movement
Formal notice Of the British Treasury's
Intentions, however, was not received
By the Morgan Arm until the bill Of
ladinR accompanying the shipment was
| presented at their Office.
No instructions as 20 the disposition
fof the gold have como TO hand as yet,
and the purpose Of the shipment,
therefore, Is not determined. In view
Of the relatively high quotation Of
sterling, IL Is not believed that the
British government is sending gold to
this country merely 70 support ex-
change.
The interest due the United States,
which II has been announced will be
met on October /, Is the only important
requirement Of the British government
for dollars, so far as bankers here are
aware. and Il is assumed that the ship
ment and the amounts that may follow
will be devoted TO this purpose.
Some surprise was expressed yester-
day that Great Britain should have
deemed IL necessary or wise 20 ship
-ok i= preparation for this settlement,
1s the understanding had obtained
that the bulk Of the funds called for
had been acquired through operations
in the exchange market. The recent
collapse In the foreign exchanges under
the leadership of marks, however, may
have caused the British authorities 70
fear that they could not continue 70 nc
cumulate dollars in this fashion with
out influencing depreciation Of sterling,
whose position they are thought TO be
desirous Of maintaining.
The gold which arrived yesterday Is
fhe first 70 be sent 70 this country by
the British government In about a year

was IN preparation for repayment at
