ment emanating from the department,
shave witnessed period OF great road
development in the state of Wyom-
ing. From 1914 to 1921, the total
road mileage increased from 14,797 to
46,52S. This is in strong contrast to
the majority of states, which have
made great progress in road improve
ment, but without any appreciable
change in total mileage.
During the seven-year period the
mileage of improved roads in Wyom-
ing has increased from 1924 TO 6S67
miles. The mileage of roads is classi-
fled as follows: Unimproved, 80,
1873; graded and drained, 6715; gravel,
ebert, Shale, 413; hard-surfaced, 81.
"An analysis Of the figures collect
ed by the bureau shows that there is
one-half mile of road per square mile
of area; that the total annual road
revenue is $55.32 per square mile
S116.25 per mile of road and S27.S2
per capita.
I'm 1921 the total road revenue, in.
Guiding federal aid funds. amounted
to approximately $5,40S,000. The ex.
penditures were s4,725,000. During
the year 1873 miles Of improved road
were completed"

cation this morning in telegram

Promises Big Returns.
DIR. Curtis in his telegram declares
that the we'll sunk on Tuesday gives
every indication of oil in large guam
titles and of good commercial quality.
The initial venture seems to indicate
that the future of the company will be
very bright. Contracts have been sign
ed for eleven more holes to be drilled
on the eighty acre tract now being de-
veloped by the company.
DR.. Curtis has been in the west IN
charge of the affairs of the company
for several weeks. The fact that oil
was discovered when the first we'll was
sunk will lead to immediate develop
