Casper Lends Aid to Oil
Field Public, Attends
Meeting Wednesday

Successful cooperation he
tween two communities al
ready entirely dependent

pose of q journey to Salt
Creek made last evening by
four members of the Casper Chamber
Of Commerce and a Tribune reporter.
Charles Stafford. secretary of the
chamber OF commerce: ]. s. Mechiing.
president OF that body: Fred Pattee.
and Earle d. Holmes comprised the
delegation whose purpose last evening
was the immediate organization of a
Salt Creek Motor club. similar in all
respects and vested with the same
powers a. the Casper organization.
The reason for the organization OF
such a body in the oil camp city Is
the crying need for some way of In
ducing the oil companies and the
state highway commission to build
and maintain a better road between
Casper and Salt Creek. and more es-
pecially a certain part within The
very limits of the camp Itself. This
stretch. IL tourists reports are true,
is by far the most undesirable piece
Of road between Casper and Sheridan.
Organization and cooperation have
been named as the most likely method
OF obtaining highway rights from the
