Drilling Continues in Test
Well Near Marmarth

Marmarth, Dec. lS.-When Field
! Superintendent Sprague and party
were in town, he expressed general
| satisfaction over the progress as be-
ing made by the double crew in the
work Of running the new string of
2! 8 IA inch casing in the Deep Test
we'll being drilled II miles southwest
| of Marmarth.
! With the entire crew working in
single shift the new string of casing
had been run to an approximate
depth Of $500 feet the first Of the
week
| 1t will be necessary to seal off the
water in the Newcastle formation
and make thorough test and log
of this formation before the actual
drilling is renewed. as the flow Of
water from the Newcastle or Muddy
sand, caused so much difficulty at
the time that it was pierced by the
| drill, that it resulted in inefficient
| knowledge of the actual condition of
1 this formation.
AS soon as the water is sealed off
the big drill will again be sent on
it's merry way down toward the Da
kota and Lakota sands. According
to the geologic formations of the
Usage field in northern Wyoming, as
ascertained by the U. S. G. s., and
which territory is supposed to cor
relate more or less favorably with
the geological formations in this
field, there is 200 feet of the Skull
| Creek shale member lying between
| the Newcastle formation and the
Dakota sand where it is thought that
production will be secured.
Should no production be found in
| the Dakota sandstone member which
| is estimated to be from so to 100
! feet in thickness, then it is hoped
| to find oil in the Lakota sandstone
| formation. Below the Dakota is sup
| posed to be 80 feet of Fuson fotma-
| ton, and then 200 feet of Lakota
| sandstone.

neighborhood hunt and managed to
kill off total of approximately 500
rabbits, which was considered a
rather good harvest for one day, but
last week Thursday the people of
the Rhame and Deep Creek countries
organized real big hunt and the
success of the days activities are al
most astounding.
j. o. German of Deep Greek, who
was in town Saturday reported that
81 men participated in the hunt, and
that the count at night totaled SOTO
rabbits. The entire party dined at
Rhame in the evening, the losing
side paying for the eats for the
crowd. None Of the rabbits were
saved, owing to the exceeding warm
weather. but, considering that these
Jacks would average eight pounGj
each, the days slaughter would total
1850 pounds of rabbitc, or small
carload. The days hunt resulted in
an average of close to IS rabbits for
each man.

FORD LAUGHS AT
CANDIDACY TALK;
EXPLAINS ARTICLE

Dearborn, Mich. Henry Ford
laughed Saturday when given copy
of newspaper containing an article
by Allan Benson, well known maya
zine writer, which in plain terms
states that Mr.. Ford wishes to be-
come president.
When he was asked If he had indi-
Gated to Mr.. Benson the name of a
man whom he would make secretary
of the navy If he were to become the
president, Mr.. Ford said
Il do not remember of ever saying
any such thing, although 1 might
have done so without having at
tached any great Importance to it,"
Continuing, Mr.. Ford asked the
correspondent:
Would you like to be governor of
your slater" The correspondent in
Dictated that he had no desire to be-
come the states chief executive.
Undoubtedly you wouldn't, but
that wouldn't stop you from naming
some man whom you thought would
fiji a state position we'll, and saying
that If you were governor you would
appoint him. You would make a re-
mark of this kind without even de-
string to be governor"
Mr.. Ford did not indicate in the
10 minutes conversation with the
correspondent that he had changed
his mind as to the position he has
taken toward the presidency. He In
ferred that he was not going after
the presidency, but like any other
human being, would be willing to ac-
cept the honor If it were conferred
upon him.

REDUCTION IN PRICES
BY WILLYS- OVERLAND

Toledo, Ohio, Aug. 18.-John N.
WHY'S, president of the Willys-oyer-
land company, Toledo, Ohio, today
caused a furore in automobile circles
by his announcement Of immediate
price reductions and great improve
ments in the 1923 Willys-overland
lines.
This action embracing a drop in
price on the Willys-Knight touring
car and roadster models from 1925
to Sits, f. o. B. factory, and on
the Willys-Knight Coupe-Sedan from
1885 to $3.50, came as distinct
surprise to the automobile industry
and motoring public in view OF the
advance of price made by not few
manufacturers in announcing their
1924 models.
The new values in Willys-Knight
and Overland cars are the direct re-
suit of the wonderful sales and pro
duction records made by the WHY'S
Overland company this year, eclipe-
ing any previous period in its his
tory, which determined the officials
Of the company to share with the
public the appreciable saving in
costs made possible by an enormous

Mr.. WHY'S added that in every de-
tail all the advantages of the WHY'S
Knight car have been retained, while

ing this car. powered with the fam
1us willye-Knight sleeve-valve mo-
or. a bigger value than ever before.
This announcement has greater
because it marks new
record for automotiye
products in the face of generally
rising market in raw materials.

Dick; and the forced naturalness Of
his voice struck Bedding.

of speech. "He got 30 half the tine,

She ended in a whisper, looking up
wistfuIly and sadly at him. Bedding
was a raging fire within, cold without.
Gale gathered Nell up into his arms
and held her to his breast for long
moment
Dear Nell, I'm sure the worst of
your trouble is over" he said, gently.

you lie down, try to rest and calm
yourself? Don't grieve any more.
This thing isn't so bad as you make it.

AS he released her she glanced
quickly up at him, then lifted appeal

"Dick, you won't hunt for him-go

Bedding jump.

upon the porch sat the rangers, Mr..
Gale, and Thorne. Dick went into his
room without speaking.
"Shore sometimes comm off," said
Ladd, sharply; and he sat up with his
keen eyes narrowing.

made them strong.
