81 the Saratoga n Encnmp-
ment Railroad for a period of three
years.
COPIES of the statistics and data
which was compiled b yme were furn-
ished to Senators Warren and Ken
drick, Mr.. Mondell, the Public Serv-
ice Commission of the State OF
Wyoming, and the Interstate Com
merce Commission, so that Senator
Kendrick and Mr.. Mondell were
talking from the same viewpoint.
Each of them used their best influ-
ence to make the road a permanent
institution in the community. All
of our delegation in Congress used
their best endeavor and lent every
possible assistance towards securing
the right answer.
There should he no disposition on
the part of anyone to detract from
the interest. or influence. that was
extended by any member of our dele
CATION in Congress. but when some
ardent Democrat. and n more ardent
Democratic press, makes the bald
assertion that Mr.. Kendrick saved
the road" this assertion cannot go
u~nchallenged. Mr.. Kendrick did nc
more than n other member of our
delegation. We believe in giving
credit where credit is due. We be.
lieve that the citizens of the Platte
Valley are fairminded enough tc
know that no one person is solely re.
sponsible for saving the railroad.

SHERARD Dome
TO BE DRILLED
KEEN LOCAL INTEREST SHOWN IN
TEST WELL WHICH WILL Be sunk
ON THIS STRUCTURE

The Sherard Dome, situated in
Township 25 N, r. SO w, near
Houses ranch. is to be drilled once
more.
The Ohio Oil Co. during the fall
of 1916, and the spring OF 1917
drilled a hole to a depth of 201O
feet and abandoned the well as dry.
This hole was drilled on the south
west quarter of section 24-25-S9, and
at a depth of 1870 feet ten barrels
of oil were bailed from the hole.
In July. 1919, the Kasoming Oil
Co. drilled a well on the northeast
quarter section 1869 to a depth
of 1910 feet and abandoned it as
dry. In September. 1919 the same
company drilled a well on section
24-25S9. At a depth of about 1900
feet a string of tools was lost; the
rig was skidded so feet and a well
was finished or that location at 2097
and abandoned as dry.
The Utah Oil Refining Co. started
a well June 1921 on the southeast
quarter section 26-25-S9 and finished
it September of the same year. The
total depth of this hole was 1865
feet. About two million feet of gas
was encountered with a hole full OF
water. This hole was mudded by
the government and abandoned as
dry.
A. T. whitehead who. with his as
sociates in the spring of 1918, sue
cessfully worked out geologically the
Mahoney Dome after the Midwest
Refining Co. abandoned hat struc-
ture in the fall of 1917 as a barren
structure, took upon himself the task
of ascertaining whether or not the
deep productive sands a been
reached by the different companies
area. His Investigations have proved
that the sands have not been reached
In that structure. and recently closed
a contract with the United States
Petroleum Corporation to drill an
= other we'll. This well is located
! about the center of section 14-25-s9
! and the depth to the deep sands will
t be approximately 1850 feet. The
| derrick Is now being erected and the
= work Will be- pushed with all possible
haste.
This test will be watched with
keen interest lot only by the men in
the business but the local residents
as a large amount of the acreage in
this area is owned by them. There
are about five thousand acres in
this structure which II oil or gas be
discovered will be productive and
thus the wheels of the oil game will
grind out another batch of million
aires from the Rawlins oil fields.

ing taken three days for a trip which

TRUSTEES HOLD ANOTHER
EXTRA MEETING FOR THE
HEARING OF OBJECTIONS

A special meeting of the Board of
Trustees was held at the city hall
Friday night, this being an adjourned
session which was put over from the
previous Wednesday. The object OF
the meeting was to listen to a dis
cussion of the merits and dement's
of wood stave pipe for water con-
duits by Peter S. Cook, OF Cheyenne.
A small audience had gathered when
1t was announced hat Mr.. Cook was
unable to De present and so it dis
persed.
There was much comment on the
futility of such a discussion at this
time inasmuch as the question OF
wood stave pipe is not before the
voters and will not be until after the
bonds have been approved next Tues
day. The main question Is securing
a majority vote for the bonds. re-
gardless of details and side-issues.
The statement of Mayor Kell. pro-
mulgated with the approval of al
members of the board Of trustees and
reading as follows, should sct ARREST
all controversy as to materials asltil
after the bond issue haE been au-
thorized by the voters:
No plans or designs for the
construction OF the system ave
been submitted by the Wciland
Engineering Co. and will not
be until after the bOnd issue has
been authorized. When they

given So that all persons inter-

Obituary
Death has taken from this COM
munity James Allen Bennett, a young
attorney born and reared in Wyom-
ing. During his early career his
life was full of promise. but in 1912
he became an invalid. yet with a
great physical handicap he engaged
actively in the profession of law.
seemingly forgetting, to all outward
appearance. that he was Ill.
James A. Bennett was born in
Laramie. Wyoming. on December
14th, 1888. When he was n month
old his family moved to Rawlins.
Wyoming, where he made his home
until his death on October 9th. He
attended the Rawlins Public school
and graduated with highest honors
In 1901. After leaving school he
was associated with his brother in
the hardware business until the fall
of 1907. when h went to Portland
where HI began the study OF law,
After being admitted to the bar he
became associated with Mr.. Whit
field, under the firm name Of Whit
field & Bennett. During this part
nership he enjoyed an excellent
practice.
In 1913 he was stricken with a
strange malady. resembling paralysis.
and was forced to return to his home
in Rawlins. shortly thereafter no
was admitted to practice before the
wyoming courts. where his influence.
until a short time before his death.
has been felt in the Courts Of Justice
OF this state.
James Bennett was q man OF sterl-
ing worth. excellent ability, studious.
painstaking. and courteous to q de-
gree. He was in a class by himself
in that he vas most patient and I'M

acter. always cheerful and optimistic

overcome the disease that handi-
capped him. His life's work was

An Excellent Economy Record

During the past three years the present board Of county com
missioners has established an envable record for economy, which
should be appreciated by the voters. In the tabulated statement
issued annually by the State Examiner, showing cost of maintain
ing county government in each county in the state, under the head
ing, County Commissioners, Salary, Per Diem and Expense"
Carbon County makes a most excellent showing.
In the year 1919, this was So, Sc and nine other counties
ranked higher in their total for this item. In 1920 the cost of the
commissioners was $l,751.75 and Is other counties were higher,
and in 1921 the amount was $2,O62.O S and IL counties exceeded
Carbon in the amount spent by thier county commissioners.

HARRIS TELLS WHY
SALES ARE so LARGE

"These enormous sales" said Mr..
2. c. Harris, special representative
OF Tanlac. "mean just one thing and
that is-merit. Tanlac is well adver-
tised. It is true. but such a large and
RAPIDLY growing demand could not
he brought about by advertising
alone. It's what the neighbors say
that counts. One bottle Is sold in a
neighborhood through advertising,
but ten more are sold in that COM
munity after the first bottle pro-
duces results. and that's right where
Tanlac scores. People are always
willing to talk about their ailments.
but they are more than willing to tell
others OF the medicine that helps
them. It's something they couldn't
keep TO themselves II they tried. for
the impulse to sympathize with
neighbors and want to help them is
one OF the strongest. as well as one
Of the biggest, things in human ma
ture.
"Tanlac Is producing these results
and that Is why nothing on earth
can keep It out OF the homes Of the
people. It is not only the most talk
ed Of medicine. but, in my opinion. It
is the best and most efficient. And
although prominent officials and
leaders throughout the American
continent have indorsed Tanlac its
greatest prestige is firmly based on
the unqualified Endorsement OF the
masses Of the people.
mot a day nor a week passes that
does not bring hundreds OF state
ments from the people concerning
the good this medicine is doing and
recitlng the circumstances OF re-
markahle cases that would convince
the most skeptical. These are alone
sufficient for Talnac. but the figures
are more The figures contained in
these enormous orders speak elo-
quently and convincingly OF the great
good this medicine is doing"
