TOWN WIPED OFF
MAP IS REVIVED
3 MILES AW AY
Not Even Shack Marks Spot
Where Once Town of 1900
People Stood

SHERIDAN, Wyo.. Geo r.
Just eight months ago the town of
Old Lavoye, Wyo., was doing a bus
mess Of 100000 a year. Property
in the town was valued At $4,000.
Toady there isn't as much as a
shack to mark the spot where once
the town of 1900 people stood.
In place of the hotels, stores and
homes stand only tall grease-cover-
ed derricks. For it was black gold"
that literally forced Old Lavoye off
the map.
Already three miles distant a
new Lavoye has been built. Some Of
the buildings were moved there m
tact others were torn down and Ie-
built and some weren't worth NOV
ing.
The story is one of the most IN
usual arising out of the numerous
battles for oil in the otherwise bar
rem lands of the west.
For time it was feared this dis
pute would couse armed warfare in
the Wyoming oil fields.
In 1920, Joseph Levoye, a French
Canadian, applied for a homestead
on the site of Old Levoye, Lut never
received the final patent to the land.
Then came a great oil boom IN
the rich Salt Greek field. The home
stead was in the heart of the field.
Lavoye leased lots to build stores
and the town sprung up with the
typical overnight rapidity of a trad
ing center in the oil fields. Prices
were high and Lavoye was getting
rich fast,
All the biologists said great guam
titles of Oil were underneath The
townsite.
The tall oil derricks came closer
and closer to the town. The Ohio
Oil Company, which had the oil
rights to surrounding oil lands,
wanted to drill well on the main
cOrnor of the town.
, Lavoye fought it through the
courts until his funds were exhaust
ed. Then the townspeople took up
the fight Appeals were made to
Washington without avail.
I Finally Federal Judge I, Blake
Kennedy, who decided Teapot
Dome belonged to Harry Sinclair
decided that the townsite belonged
to the oil company and ordered

ANNUAL FOX HUNT

Blow your horns, and call

HOW SCIENCE
MADE AIR ASSET
TO The FARMER
Nitrogen Removed From An
Turned Into Nitrogen Com
pound and Used As
Fertilizer
BY DAVE DIETZ

The scientist Is coming TO the aid
Of the farmer by doing a job for
him that was formerly done only by
certain kind Of bacteria. The job Is
to take nitrogen out Of the air
and turn it into q hydrogen COM
pound which can be used as a fertil-
izer.
The farmer can appreciate the
lament Of the mariner at sea who
said, Water water everywhere, but
not drop to drink"
For the earth's atmosphere IS
four fifths nitrogen and yet one of
the farmers chief expenses is
fertilizer containing nitrogen.
Plants cannot grow without
nitrogen. But plants are totally uu-
able to use free nitrogen from the
air.
They can only absorb nitrogen
which raS been combined with
other elements TO form salts or con-
pounds and mixed with the soil.
The normal nitrogen content of
the soil is the result of the activity
Of certain bacteria in the soil which
have the power of absorbing the
nitrogen of the air and fixing" it
as the expression goes, in coma
pounds which the plants can use.
In the past when the nitrogen
consisting of animal or vegetable
waste Of upon nitrogen compounds
mined from n .,
fields in the world.
But the scientist is now making
nitrates for the farmer direct from
the nitrogen Of the air.
This year, DR.. F. G. Cottrell OF
the U. S. Fixed Nitrogen Research
Laboratory at Washington estama-
ties "A per cent of the nitrogen com
pounds used in the world will be
manufactured direct from the
nitrogen of the air.
The story of how scientists dis
covered that lightning flashes caus-
ed some of the nitrogen of the air to
combine with the oxygen, the result
ing compound being washed down
with the rain to form nitric acid.
Two American chemists, Bredly
and Lovejoy, succeeded in repeating
this progress with the aid of an elec
trio arc in 1920. But so much cleo
tricity was consumed that the cost
was prohibitive.
A Cheaper process was discov-
cred during the World War.
This was known as the cyanimed
process. In this process, calcium car.
bide was first manufactured by melt
ing coke and lime in an electric
furnace.
This was then treated while at g
red heat with nitrogen. AS a result
a compound known as calcium
cyanimid was formed.
But the process chiefly used now
is one which YVES developed in Ger
many.
In this process, which is fan
cheaper than any other, nitrogen
and hydrogen are mixed under hig,
pressure and passed at dull RED
heat through a granular mass con
sisting chiefly Of specially prepared
iron.
As a result the nitrogen and hy-
drogen combine to form ordinar!
ammonia.
DR.. Cottrell estimates that 70 pc
cent of the nitrogen compound
manufactured this year will be b!
this German process.

that it be vacated.
Revolt Was Feared

The decision stirred the oil fields
almost to the point of revolt, but
the townspeople finally decided G
abide by the decree.
The new town has been built al
most as quickly as the old one, but
it is much cleaner AMI more attrac-
tive than Old Lavoye. Bur there
isn't a derrick in sight, and the
ground which the Jew town stands
is as Yet worth nothing compared to
the riches which undarlaid Old
Lavoye
Meanwhile, at Old Lavoye, "black
gold continues TO come from the
earth, but its founder is getting mo
share of the treasure.
The fight is over. but it mas left
bitter sores that may cause unrest
in the oil fields for may years.

TREMENDOUS EXPANSION in BANKING
BUSINESS OF STATE REFLECTS HUGE
DEVELOPMENT IN n. D. TRADE VOLUME
Number of Increases From Eight to 99 Banks and Five
Trust Companies in IS Years, Report Shows

in the number of banks, reached in
1919 and 1920 when FOG banks and
four trust companies we're doing
business, their general condition is
better due to the gradual liquidation
of frozen assets and the return of
that money to the channels Of normal
trade.
In 1895, five years after compila-
ton Of the first statistics by Colum.
bia University, there were 70 banks
chartered and doing business. BY
1905 that number had risen to 242
and in 1915 it was G28.
Huge Capital
The maximum capital, surplus and
undivided profits ever reached by
banks in North Dakota was during
the peak year Of 1919 when those
combined items totalled Sl6,493,'
365.2S.
The progress during the last yea,
may be measured, bank department
officials point out, by comparing the
reports for June 80. this year,
with those of June 30, 1924.
These show a decrease of approx
mately 100000 in loans and dis.
counts; q 100000 increase in gov.
eminent and state securities held
by banks, an increase Of nearly
$4,000, 900 in cash and bills payable

Despite its trials and tribulations
the banking business in North Da-
kota has taken gigantic strides in
the last IS years, statistics compiled
BY Investigators Of Columbia Univer.
sity, New York City. from the rec
ords Of the state banking department
show. The study which covered the
35-year period from 1890 to 1925
shows that q business which was a
mere pygmy Is years ago has grown
to the proportions Of a real colossus
in a quarter Of a century.
In 1890 there were just eight
banks operating in North Dakota.
Their total capitalization was $780,
2lO. Their combined surplus total
led $4,000 and they had undivided
profits Of $l2,O0l.64.
~ Banks
Figures for 1925 show 494 banks
and four trust companies with a
capitalization, surplus and undivided
profits Of $ll,26s, 9S6.04.
In 1890 deposits Of the eight exist
ing banks totalled $212,365.65. BY
1925, the report for June shows, that
sum had been increased to $8l $685.
