Joe Bells was D. & R. G.. passen-
ger this morning, en- route to his home
in Grand Valley from Denver, where
he spent the past month. He visited
and investigated the Fort Collins oil
field, which he says will mean much to
all of Northern Colorado. He Is also
enthusiastic about the new well at
Craig, and believes that these two wells
are but the forerunnners of many more
that will distinguish 1924 as year Of
great oil production and much prosperi-
ty for Colorado. In prophesying great
things for the oil well industry Mr.
Bells has not forgotten nor lost faith
in the oil shale industry which he says
will come to the front and within five
years will make Colorado one Of the
richest states in the Union. We need
more of the faith and optimism which
Mr.. BELLS displays when discussing
these twin industries which in time
will mean so much for Colorado.
