The Story Of
Our States

NSkE Il KSM falls the honor
NNTISgS@Sg50SA M of being the
NSl Nt Es sED ISL first of the
NENs9saaaZN original thir-
MsssssN teen states.
- 1e.1| December z,
1887, it officially adopted the Con.
stitution and thus was made a
beginning of our present Federal
government. According to the
seventh article of the Constitu-
ton, however, it was necessary
for nine states to ratify it before
it actually came into force. So
it was not until the following
June, by which time eight other
states had accepted the Consti-
tuition, that the United States of
America actually came into be-
ing.
The early history of Delaware
was a varied one. 1t started in
1858 when a small party Of
SWedes settled at the mouth Of
the Delaware river and called it
New Sweden. In 1866, Peter
Stuyvesant, the governor of the
Dutch colony Of New Neither
lands, annexed this territory. But
it did not long remain Dutch,
for in 1864 the English took
possession. When Pennsylvania
was decided to William Penn he
desired access to the SeacoaSt
and at his urgent request Della
ware was transferred to PENIS
proprietorship. From the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth cen
tury, however, Delaware had it's
separate legislature, and at the
time of the Revolution it be-
came an Independent state.
Delaware is next to the small
est of our states. having an area
of only 2,370 square miles. It's
participation in presidential cleo
tons is limited to three electors.
This is arranged according to
population. Each state is entitled
to the same number of presiden-
tial electors as it has members
Of congress, so the influence of
the different states in voting for
the President varies from Della
wares three electors to New
York's 45.
AS to the derivation of the
name Delaware, this was apprO-
priately given to the state from
the river, which in turn was
named after the bay and the bay
was called Delaware in honor of
Lord Delaware, who was COVER
nor of the Virginia colony in
1910.

SINCLAIR DEAL
PROVES TO
SALTCREEKO OIL
Will Bring Crude Production
in Close Touch With
u. S. Lines.

The significance of the sale of the
government royalty oil in the Salt
Greek field of Wyoming to the Sin
clair Crude Oil Purchasing company.
is commented on by a recent issue Of
the Wall Street Journal, which sees
the move as of significance to the pro-
ducers of the state.
The journal says:
Sale of governments royalty oil in
Salt Greek field Of Wyoming to Sin
clair Crude Oil Purchasing company.
will prove of great benefit to produc-
ers in that field for it will bring Salt
Greek wells in direct connection with
the main pipe line system in midcon-
tinent district. From this line Wyom-
ing oil could be delivered to oil big re-
f~ineries at Chicago, Atlantic and Gulf
coast points and in ~midcontinent dis
trict.
This would mean a tremendous
broadening Of market for Wyoming
light oil which for many years has
been narrowed to the refinery capacity
Of the Rocky mountain district which
as far below the productive capacity of
Salt Greek and other Wyoming fields.
This situation is shown by fact that
current runs from Salt Creek field
are limited to 10 per cent of productiv-
ity of completed wells. These wells
have estimated capacity, operated full.
Of approximately 100000 barrels but
only $4,000 barrels daily are being
run.
Another factor developed by sale
Of governments 5000 barrels daily
royalty oil is that the price is on the
basis of midcontinent price for crude
of same gravity. This is considerably
higher than posted price of 20 cents a
barrel for Salt Greek crude, similar
grade commanding $3.50 a barrel in
midcontinent district. However, the
element Of transportation cost from
Wyoming to midcontinent points would
have to be considered but even with
this included. Wyoming crude is still
below m%idcontinent. For this reason
producers in Salt Greek expect that
higher prices will be paid for their
