worked out by him with the motion
picture interests. He said that as soon
as possible he would confer, probably
in New York with representatives or
the motion picture industry who have
been negotiating for his services.

airy which he would receive in his new
position, but It has been reported as
upward OF $4,000 a year.

FIGHTING N o DRIFTS

The recent fall OF snow while not
extraordinarily heavy has been the
cause Of a lot of grief to truck own
ers and field operators the past ten
days. The streets in Rawlins are
practically bare IS are the roads in
many parts of the country. The snow
is dry and with the variable winds
has drifted in places, especially on
the north and northeast slopes, SO
badly as to practically block travel
in a few spots. Along the Nine Mile
hill it is especially aggravating and
at times requires %shoveling to get
through and in an hour when the
wind blows the work has to be re-
peated. The present weather condi-
tions promise some relief.

SOUTH CARBON COUNTY
OIL TEST

The Republican has 1t upon good
authority that the "Matidor' will
start a wildcat test on the Bags
ranch structure early in the spring.
Several shallow tests were made a
few years ago by Fletcher Bros. who
used a Star rig. Gas was encountered
in one of the wells which is said to
still be flowing lightly. Other wells
were drilled later which also made
gas showings. J. H. Cline, geoloSist
for the Royal Dutch-Shell interests
is said to have worked out a perfect
ly closed structure south Of Muddy
Greek, the Apex Of which is located
about three miles northwest Of Baggs
in this county. the southerly end of
which extends into Colorado. Many
oil men have held for years that
there was oil in that part Of the
county: intact the very first five or
six wells drilled in Carbon county
were located out-in that district, but
each new test following the first we'll
was always to the north. Results
will be noted with much interest.

GAS REVENUES STARTED
ON LAST MONDAY

At s O'Clock last Monday morning
the phone signal was given from
Casper to turn the Ferris Field gas
into the, new 90 mile gas line serv-
ing the Midwest Reflneries at that
place. While the line had been test
ed in every possible way and all de-
fects corrected, actual service vas
delayed on account of time con
sumed in piping and connecting the
battery Of a burners under the
numerous boilers and stills. Ray
Ferris and B.. c. Bellamy were the
original locaters and discoveries of
the Ferris oil and gas field and still
retain royalty interests. The gas
line in time will no doubt add ma
terially to their income.

FORECAST EoR 1922

Mr.. Geo. A. Bible. cashier Of the
First National Bank of this city, has
prepared the following forecast for
1922 which will prove Of interest %
our readers:
The First National Bank has just
added 100000 to- its surplus &C
count which is in line with its policy
for a number of years past. This
bank. as suggested by its name, is
the oldest bank in Carbon County and
in fact one OF the oldest in this sec
ton OF the Mountain States country.
1t was established in 1888 as a priv
ate bank and nationalized as The
First National Bank OF Rawlins, April
80. 1890. 80 years ago. 1t is one
Of the strongest and most conserva-
tive banks in the West considering
its size and the community it serves.
The aggregate OF capital. surplus and
stockholders responsibility is a quar-
ter OF a million dollars. Strong
banks make strong and prosperous
communities and Carbon County is to
be congratulated on its splendid fin-
ancial institutions. While Carbon
County has been passing through de-
pressed condition as a result of the
postwar slump in live stock and
a. AAASS l" ~ NC tolSA
that these Industries show funda-
mental soundness and strength. The
live stock men are carrying over full
herds, which will quickly bring them
back to prosperous times. In some
parts of the Middle West the farms
and ranges have zen depleted of live
stock. This is not the case in Car
bon County. 1t is noted that taxes
have been paid promptly into our
County Treasury at the close of 1921,
the percentage of delays in tax pay
ment being less than in former years.
This, is conclusive evidence that this
section is really sound and prosper
Gus and that there is sufficient capt
tai available for those in need of it.
1t is predicted that the coming year
with higher prices for wool and live
stock. will be a very satisfactory
one. Indications point to much ac-
tivity in the development of our oil
and gas
