W. J. DAVIES GENERAL AGENT

The many friends OF w. ]. Davies
formerly Union Pacific agent in
Rawlins will be pleased to know
that he has been promoted from
Assistant Trainmaster for the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad to the po-
sition of General Agent.
Mr.. Davies was a member of the
Korein' Shrine in Rawlins.
The Alton Evening Telegram, in
an issue of January goth tells OF
following story Of his promotion:
w. ]. Davies, who for five years
has been at Alton serving as assist
ant trainmaster OF the Chicago &
Alton railroad, has been appointed
general agent of the Chicago & AL
ton at Chicago and will take up his
duties there February 1.
Rumors that Mr.. Davies would be
given a better position have been 60
Ing around for some time. but until
today Mr.. Davies declined to admit
that there was any change in pros
pect. The new position to which
he goes is a very responsible one and
his selection for the post is in recog-
milton of valuable services he has
rendered the railroad since he came
to 1t from the Union Pacific a num-
Der OF years ago. He came to Alton
as freight agent here and was then
moved to Springfield, where he stay
ed until it became necessary to place
some n in charge Of the Alton
Wood River industrial district to ex-
pedite the handling OF freight by
working out a better coordination Of
transportation facilities here. Mr..
Davies succeeded admirably in the
work he was sent here to do. He
kept traffic moving smooth around
here. The new place he is to take
is n involving much greater re-
sponsibilities but those who know
Mr.. Daviessay he is equal to them.
Mrs. Davies will remain here a while
until Mr.. Davies is settled in Chi
cago. Their son, Gilbert. will re-
tain his position at the Wood River
Refinery.
Mr.. Davies is president of the
Alton Shrine club a post he had but
recently taken.

MUTUAL OIL co. IN COURT

Dispute title to 100 acres of Tea
pot Dome oil land on which drilling
by the Mutual Oil Company was
stopped last year by a detachment of
marines sent to Wyoming by the
navy department, will be settled in
court as the result of filing of a
suit by R. G.. Taylor and John +.
Campion. both of Denver and James
G. Darden of New York. against the
Mammoth Oil company, which is
now drilling on the land. The quar-
ter is located in section 20-39-78 and
a temporary injunction is asked to
prevent the Mammoth from further
operation until a permanent decis-
ion is reached.
The complaint sets forth that the
land in question was filed upon I'M
der the placer mining laws on Dec
ember ~, 1890 and that assessment
work was done continuously up to
and including the year 1921, and
that the land was withdrawn from
entry on April 80. 1916, but that
OIL mad been discovered on the prop
erty prior to that time: that a
lease was made in April, 1922. by
the Secretary of the Interior. under
which the Mammoth Oil COMPANY
was to develop the land after quiet
ing all claims, and that while over
$1,000, 900 was paid to other claim
ants of reserve land no offer was
ever made to the plaintiffs in the
present suit.
The Mutual Oil company drilled a
hole to a depth Of 1883 feet on
the land before operations we're halt
ed by the Interior and Navy de-
partments.
The court is asked to restrain the
Mammoth company from taking oil
n to give title to the land to the
plaintiffs.
