Report Shale Plant
Now Assured in the
SWeetwater County

A Rock Springs paper of a recent
issue states that producing gasoline
from oil shale bids fair to be one
of Sweetwater county's most import
ant industries, and threatens, also, to
revolutionize the entire oil industry
throughout the United States, accord
ing to ]. Edison Hines, president of
the Wyoming Oil Products company.
Mr.. Hines is president of the COM
pany that is erecting an oil shale
manufacturing plant at Green river.
His company Is the owner of 800
acres of land containing untold guam
titles Of oil shale near Green River,
Wyoming, and controls the right in
Sweetwater county to use the Trum-
BILE process for the extortion Of oil
from shale.
The company has already e1pend-
ed about $4,000 for labor. equip
ment, machinery and supplies now
on their Sweetwater county holdings,
and have an ambitious program for
the coming year which contemplates
the erection of one or more units to
their elaborate manufacturing plant.
The Tumble process for extracting
oil from shale Is no longer an ex-
periment-it is, according to Mr..
Hines, and many other authorities
on oil shale, ar assured success.
Trumble. the inventor of the process
which promises to solve the problem
raised by the constantly diminishing
| supply OF crude oil in the United
States, has already erected a plant
at Alhambra, California, and this
plant is now being successfully oper-
ated.
1t is contepded that gasoline can be
produced by this process at the re-
markedly low price of five cents per
gallon, and that there is sufficient
shale in the lands Immediately ad-
jacent to the plant west of Green
River to last for more than 100 years.
even II the plant were guadrupled in
size. in addition to the gasoline
content OF the shale. there is pro-
duced in commercial quantities am
monium sulphate and pyradine. both
of which are in steady demand on
nearby markets.
There is no mystery about the
manufacture of gasoline from oil
shale, according to Mr.. Hines. who
points out such manufacture has
been going on in England and Scot
land for more than so years, even
though the process used in those
countries are YER crude. Quite Of
ten accounts are given of oil shale
wells being brought in. and only
Monday n was brought in in the
Salt Creek field in Wyoming.
The oil shale deposits in Sweet
water county are regarded as being
among the richest In the entire world,

Suspicious Farmer
Finds Cow and a
Snake are Friendly

A southern snake will do most any
thing to get a good meal, it's said.
Here's a story about a hungry snake
thatll make you sit up and take
notice. We cannot vouch for the
truth of the story. 1t was clipped
from the Elberton, Ca, Star.
Mr.. j. r. Bond, an employee of
the city of Elberton at the electric
light plant on Beaverdam creek, kill
ed a large snake last Friday that had
been robbing him of from a gallon
to a gallon and a half of milk a
day for some time. Mr.. Bond has a
very fine cow. 1t had been giving
four gallons of milk daily for some
time, until recently when the guam
tity, without apparent cause, drop
ped to three gallons and then to two
and a half gallons. The rapidly di-
minishing amount of milk given by
his fine COW perplexed Mr.. Bond to
such an extent that he set about to
find out the cause. He noticed his
COW would browse around the creek
for some hours and then go up on
the hillside and low, as if calling for
her calf. He watched her last Fri
day when she did this, and found that
she was calling for a snake to come
and relieve her distending udder,
and hat the snake answered the
call. He caught the snake in the
act of sucking the cow and killed it.
Since that time the COW has been CIV
ing the accustomed foul gallons of
milk per day"

When an Iowa farmer complained

When an Iowa farmer complained
that the pheasants were eating his
corn. the game department killed two
of the birds. examined their crops,
and found 400 cutworms - and no
corn. Almost without exception, when
the scientists investigate such cases
they find the same result. The farm
err owes his crop to the ~feathered
police that keep down the bugs, in
sects and worms. With continuing
slaughter of every form of bird life.
the insect loss will be heavier and
farm work harder. The nation could
train an army of riflemen in a com
paratively short time, but it couldn't
in a century restore the bird armies
that are the farmers allies in rails

New York Commission Con-

for Pardons

NEW YORK, March 31.-Having
added Jack Dempsey to the list Of
boxing champions forbidden to
browse on rich local pastures, the
State athletic commission is now
considering some applications for
pardons. One that may be acted
upon at today's meeting concerns
Johnny Dundee, who is now at
tempting q rejuvcnation he hopes
will lead to a match with Kid Kap-
Ian for the featherweight title.
Dundee Is under suspension in
this state as a result Of his with
drawal from a match with Fred
Bretonnel in Paris last fall. He
was set down upon receipt OF a
cabled request from the French box
ing authorities. A letter. with the
complaint set forth specifically, was
to have followed the cablegram but
has never been received here.
Both George E. Brewer, who was
chairman Of the New York COM
mission when the local ban was
placed on Dundee, and James A.
Farley, the new chairman, favor
Johnny's reinstatement. The sus-
pension was merely a friendly ges'
ture toward the French boxing
authorities, but since the charges
have not been pressed Dundee will
be restored to citizenship and per-
mitted to take the Kaplan fight
If he can get it.
