One OF the new maps issued by the
U. s. Geological Bureau showing all
the Wyoming anticlines that have
been worked out by the department
has been received in Rawlins. From
this map some conception of the
future greatness Of Wyoming as an
oil producing state may be gathered.
At the present time perhaps not one
third OF the designated domes have
been tested and fewer still developed.
A wide distribution of this map Is
desirable and the State OF Wyoming
could we'll AFFORD to distribute thou
sands Of copies of 1t free of charge.
Every county having oil territory
showing on the map could and should
do the same. The Rawlins Board of
Trade may be able to arrange to
issue . summary Of the map show
ings and give same wide distribu-
ton.

Several riffs are breaking through
the price reduction cloud that has
been lowering over the oil industry
ever since the Seep Purchasing
Agency reduced the posted prices OF
crude petroleum at the wells in the
Eastern division. 1t is automatically

Is going to salt water and that pro-
duction in Mexico is still on the to-
boggan from the same cause. There
Is also a healthier tone to the export
business. our foreign loadings nov
showing an increase Of over pre-war
times. In any event, should a cut
be made in Mid-Continent and Rocky
Mountain prices, there is a feeling
among the producers that it would
not last more than a few weeks at
the longest.-The Inland Oil Index.
