Mid-continent Curtailment of
Production Not Contem-
plated Here, Said

Shutdown of the plants OF rs of
the larger reflners OF the mid-con-
tinent field will not affect Casper's
plants. according to opinions ad-
vanced by those connected with tho
operation of the oil industry here.
1--WE do not know of any intended
curtailment by the Standard here'l
stated r. NJ. Andrus. general man.
ager of the local plant last night.
Mr.. Andrus gave as his belief that
the reineries which will be affected
are those belonging to Independent
operators.
Although officials of the Texas
company could not DO interviewed
last night it is not thought probable
that this company will in any man
ner attempt to shut down refining
since its program is one OF construc-
ton that is going on rapidly at the
present time.
The White Eagle company which
will build n plant east of Casper
starts construction work tomorrow
morning.
with such an outlook as this Cas-
perites need have no fear hat the
industry which has made this city
the hub of Wyoming will in my
way be diminished in the future.
A certain amount OF fear was
spread through the ranks of some
persons who did not understand all
the facts yesterday and who thought
that the local situation would be
affected.

playing in public pool halls or like
places is also on the list of things
that r not to exist in Casper.
The first three named games of
chance are considered phases of

the temptation of playing for
money.
