THE ALMo OIL FIELD

We talk more about the Oakley
oil field han the Almo oil field, but
hat is no sign hat we do not ex-
pect great things from the Raft ri
yer country. We r expecting a
number of wells to be sunk in the
eastern side of Cassia county; we
know hat artesian water will be
found; we believe that oil will be
struck.
There is a great future before
all parts of Cassia county. When
we boost for Oakley valley, let no
one think for a moment that we
are trying to detract from the fair
prospects of the rest of the county.

Basin Items

Emery Bates and family moved
back to Basin the first of the week
Mr.. Bates has been living on the
Burley project for the past three OF
four years. and he says the Basin is
good enough for him. He is moving
back on his dry farm, in the mouth
of Mill canyon, where he expects to
put in quite a large acreage of small
grain, this spring.
Koch and sens have leased their
farms in Basin to M. S. Gwinn and
P. L. Thompson, of Oakley, for this
season. The gentlemen informed
the writer hat they intend to put in
one hundred acres of early bart
wheat, this spring. This bespeaks
very Interestingly of the Basin as d
dry farm district, which it is, as it
has never had a failure since dry
farming was started in this locality.
The above grain added to what
grain is already in and that that
will be put in this spring, will run
up something like 100 acres of
wheat for this coming year. This,
together withthe stock industry and
mineral resources, and a subterran-
can reservoir of hot water which
can be easily tapped-makesa oun
try full of promise. The fact about
the hot water has been clearly DEM
o~nstrated, as we now already have
two flowing wells and four hot
springs, which greatly reduces the
temperature in this locality. The
valley is most beautifully located
with beautiful hills on the west and
north and with snow-clad peaks on
the east; with crystal streams of
water filled with the speckled beau
ties, or mountain trout, The fertile
soil istilled by a thrifty, Industrious
healthy, god-fearng little bunch of
people who believe in minding their
own business and letting other peo-
pies business alone. The Basin is
a real paradise to live in.

NEW SALES FEW BUT
BUSINESS is GOOD
Old Orders Keep Factories

Says Dun's Review.
by Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-Dun's
Weekly Review Of business says to-
day:
New buying has not held at the re-
cent active rate in some important
markets, but many interests are SO
well supplied with business that the
diminished demand does not affect
sentiment adversely. With an in
ventory period close at hand and a
holiday season approaching. a con-
tinuance Of the slowing down
progress In other than retail branches
would not be surprising. nor would
II be a reason for loss of confidence.
The fact stands out plainly that
pressure of accumulated orders
maintains outputs at a relatively
high level in leading industries. and
1t is not uncommon now to hear OF
some manufacturers being engaged
farther ahead than at any time in
two years. When the results Of the
current year are analyzed fully 1t will
be found that there has been q sub
stantial revival from the depression
which followed the collapse Of the
after-war boom in 1920. and that
previous records have been sur
passed in certain instances.

most traders are not disposed to

garded as one of the most unsettled
periods Of the year.
December is proverbially a month
OF irregular movements in stock
prices. and there Is no great reason
to expect that this year will be

but over a long period they will
most likely make a good response
to the flood of favorable develop
ments which are in store for this
country before the close Of 1928.
Foreign Exchange.
BY all odds, the most satisfactory
development this week was in the
field Of foreign exchange and for
eign government securities. The

and were less than 4 of cent
below the quotations of year ago
The French government 8 per cent
bonds closed the week at price
of 80. compared with 93h a few
days previous.
New bond issues this week were
somewhat smaller than the average
for the period from the first part
of October. The aggregate was
about $35. 100000. the largest item
being public utility bonds which
totaled about $20,000,000. Ten new
municipals aggregating about 49,

Bond Market.
The course of the listed bond
market this week was almost par

In other words. prices assumed

was inaugurated and bonds sold
up at a higher level of prices. The

Call money at az per cent was

ablishment OF a definite

day by Fernand Pttit. cashier of
the institution. The first semi-an.
nual disbursement. at the rate OF
3 per cent on the capital stock. Will
be paid on December 80 next. TO

The declaration Of this dividend
reflects the prosperity Of this COM

incepted April l6, 1919. and which
has shown unusual ability to stead

interest Of better fellowship.
1t was also announced that the
Standard will put on a drive for
their 1928 Christmas Savings Club
about the first of next month. This
savings scheme has been conducted
by them along unusually successful
lines, due. no doubt. to the 3 per
cent Interest clause which their club
boasts.
The drive for new accounts which
is being staged by the Commercial
National Bank has proved very sue
cessful, according to officials Of the
institution. While 1t has been in
progress for only about one week
II is understood several hundred ac
counts have been added.
An additional savings and ladies
teller. with separate cages for each

In the fourth inning Hayes start
