OPPORTUNITY


Mornings great OPPORTUNITY to secure a NORTH and
SOUTH railroad is at hand.
Section Thrty-six-famous school section in Salt Creek
has been opened to COMPETITIVE bidding and is to be awarded
March 9Th.
Bids are asked at this time for the express purpose of Secur-
ing an ADDED consideration. of a railroad tapping the Salt Greek
field and connecting with transportation lines to the north.
This is a proposition in which the state CANNOT lose be-
cause it is a foregone conclusion that in any case the state will
receive MORE direct revenue from this property than it is NOW
getting.
If a railroad can be secured in addition to the ONE THIRD
royalty and other BONUSES that may be included in the bids
for this lease by all means let US have the RAILROAD.
1t has been inferred that the state has been asked to donate
this lease. This is an absolute DISTORTION of the facts. The
state will receive all that it has been getting and MORE.
1t has also been stated that the profits derived from this lease,
no matter who may be awarded the prize. would build a RAIL
ROAD. Well and good. Then by ALL MEANS let us have the
RAILROAD.
1t has been rumored that the present LESSEES would be
willing to build such a line if the lease were let to them. Very
we'll Then let the building Of the road be a direct CONSIDER
ALTON in making the award.
1t is current belief that the oil fields of Wyoming are too
largely conferred in ONE group control. If this control is to be
extended to a RAILROAD is a matter to be determined by a fair
analysis of the bid, but by ALL means let us have the railroad
Pipe line after pipe line is being rushed into Salt Creek. A
huge line is being built out of the state. Through these pipe
lines will go the PEAK production of Salt Greek. Only a small
portion of the oil will ever be moved by rail.
If Salt Creek-if section THIRTY7SX-i. the prize that will
bring the railroad, let us get the railroad NOW. Why wait until
the PIPE LINES and giant STORAGE has made of SALT CREEK
a PUMPING 6elda
In fact the railroad is NOW or NEVER, There may be q
preference as to WHO builds the railroad but let US have the
railroad. Let the state be assured that it is prohtng to the
INF in awarding the lease. Then let it get the railroad as an
EXTRA bonus.
Let US waste no maudln sympathy on the present lessees.
The lease has been one of GOOD profit. No loss can possibly be
sustained. By the terms of the contract pcaceuble possession
is to be yielded in October, 1924.
Do you for a moment imagine that il YOU held this lease
that the MIDWEST would not bid when the RENEWAL period
arrivedl As a citizen Of WYOMING you arc intoreuted in secur-
ing a railroad. The renewal at th, time ID to INSURE a railroad,

Whether the state of Wyo-

land and take It's income therefrom

brought by T. Joe Cahill of Chey-
enne against an operating agreement
between the state and the Midwest
company, whereunder the latter is
producing from two S0-acre tracts In
section 19-46-9s in the Grass Creek
field.
The question is regarded as of ex-
t~raord.nary importance. inasmuch as
the boards decision may bear directly
on negotiations by the Haskell and
other interests for the right to pro-
duce oil from the famous section 36
in the Salt Greek field. proposals re.

Cahill. who seeks a cas- on the
Grass Creek eighties, contends that

state and the Midwest entered into a
year ago, is illegal. Under his agree

dollar for which zach barrel of oil
is sold. the state gets the next so
cents, and OF the balance. IL any bal

The land involved III the contest
is that which drew the state and the
federal government into litigation a

state title to the land.
