ka Wesleyan University, at Lincoln. Nebr, graduating from the

ing to the residents of this fair city
but it is more to the JOY of the per-

Each week we can see the progress
which is being made on the houses

to imagining new buildings and in
n short time have seen them started
and completed, that 1t has not been
hard for us to see in our minds

1859 was 1000 barrels and it is
now in the neighbUrhood of AIS, 0O0.-

The efficiency of the automobile
Is less than fifteen percent. A gallon
of gasoline contains sufficient energy
to run a car 450 miles on a level
paved road If 1t were possible to
utilize all of the energy that could
be obtained by burning this amount
of gasoline.
1t is interesting to note that yer
though the consumption of gasoline
in the United States is steadily on
the increase the grade of the product
sold to the public is improving. This
is brought about by the thorough
scientific research work being done
throughout the country, resulting in
a greater and better gasoline yield
per gallon of crude than ever before.
1t is estimated that there are
$500, 600. 900 barrels of oil under
ground in the United States that can
be recovered by present production
methods. Ordinary production meth
DDS do not recover, in the majority
Of cases, more than twenty percent,
This means that the mineral oils in

Jefferis praised Wyoming for the
great steps she has taken in the de-
velopment of the natural
and paid great tribute OF those who
have so successfully battled nature
and made possible such pleasures
and comforts as we are privileged to
enjoy in this new city of Wyoming.
Certainly it is a great accomplish
ment to build upon these barren
plains of Wyoming a city of the size
and magnitude of Parco in such a
short time. One who has not seen
the work progress from day to- day
can hardly realize the greatness of
the project and appreciate the eff
forts of those who have the courage
initiative and foresight to under
take such things. Those who do
these sort of things are men who
have done something for their fellow
man. for civilization, for the ad-
vancement of education, of homes,
churches and fellowship and are TO
be highly commended for their I'M
firing efforts in behalf of the civil
