FINAL TRIBUTE TO
]. FRANCIS MACNICHOL
ELkS HOME SERVICE

Scores of people prominently iden-
titled with the civic and social life
of the community, friends and fra
ternal brothers of the late J. Francis

of love and esteem at the funeral ser
vices, which were conducted at 8
o'clock under the auspices of Au-

significant of wide acquaintance and
friendships, which the late Mr.. Mac

his splendid personality and cordial

occasion of heartfelt sorrow. Flowers
in great profusion were heaped
against the casket. and the entire
service was one of great Impressive
ness in its simplicity and sincerity.

TO THE VOTERS OF PARK
COUNTY, WYOMING:

In appreciation of the many
friends and voters in Park county
who supported me in the primary,
feel that they are entitled to know
why 1 have withdrawn from the
race for the office of County Super
intendent.
Severa weeks prior to the Pri-
mary election I inquired of the
State Educational office as to the
qualifications necessary to become
County Superintendent and ex-
planned that 1 did not have my GER
tificates at the time, but would fur
nish my credits for the state office
to pass upon. In answer to that let
ter l received a letter from the
state superintendent of public in
struction in which she advised me
to file for the office of County Sup
e~r1ntendent and then make prepare
lions to obtain the certificate nee
essary, which 1 did. Unfortunately
through delayed correspondence and
not being advised of certain things
necessary to be done to secure a
certificate, I was unable to obtain
the required certificate at the time
of the primary election, as required
by law, therefore I have declined
the nomination which l received at
the primary election and egreu that

being able to permit my name be-
ing placed upon the official ballot

it is idle FOR us to believe that we
can live by ourselves or that we can
exist without contact with the bal
ancc of the world. The basic price Of
all our grain, including that used for
home consumption, is set by the mar
ket demand Of Europe. The price we
receive for that grain. including that
used for home consumption, is the
market price Of grain delivered at
the docks in Europe, less the costs
of suchslcivcry. The same controll
ing Influences hold true for whatever
products we export and the same hold
good for whatever we import. May |

to you that the aggregate Of these
charges, going and coming, expressed
in dollars and cents, is only partially
indicated by the export and import
business that flows from and to this

sin order to understand fully the

|DRILLERS TO

EQUIPMENT
Reports on Work Accomplish.
ed by Experts to Be Made
at Institute Meeting

Los Angeles, CAL, Jan. -14.-tE,
Faced with the necessity of develop
ing interchangeable parts, the sixth
national meeting Of the American
Petroleum institute meeting here
Jan. 1921, will receive reports OF
the work Of 400 experts who have
been laboring many months OF
Standardization of equipment.
These, experts, who are attempting
to solve what is said to be the most
serious problem in oil we'll drilling
are members of the Standardization
division of the institute. They rep.
resent manufacturers, oil compan'
les, we'll drillers and others engag.
cd in the oil industry.
Threads on pipe made by one man
ufacturcr are not always the same
as those on ripe made by another
manufacturer, although the articles
may be labeled with the same dimen.
sions. What is the driller TO dc
when he tries to fit these lengths OF
pipe together? His only answer
heretofore has been to buy all his
pipe from one manufacturer.
A little article known as wrist
pin nut also illustrates the problem
Some manufacturers make this item
with right hand threads; others with
left hand.
Brings Costly Results
Numerous instances Of this lack OF
standardization run through the in
iustry. The most costly results are
said to be in the use Of misfit tub
ing, casing and pipe, which represent
fourth of drilling costs. Casing
for instance, is suspended sometimes
thousands Of feet in Il we'll and the
threads must bear an enormous
weight. If they arc not true they
may not hold. When casing drops
into the we'll it may ruin hole on
which thousands of dollars have been
spent. The threads must be adjust
cd to the thousandth of an inch.
Pipe manufacturers are now spend
ing more than $4,000 on uniform
gauges meeting the specifications
laid down by the petroleum institute

Some Of the Standardization work
has been completed; other phases Of
it will be finally adopted at the Los
Angeles meeting. The tubular goods
committee under the craftsmanship of
j. Edgar Pew of Dallas, president of
the institute, has completed its re
port, and pipe is now being manu-
featured according to the standards
it has established.
According to c. A. Young, who is
secretary of the Standardization di-
vision, drilling costs are to be re-
duccd many thousands Of dollars by
this work.

NINE OWNER DENIES
CHARGE OF COMMISSIONER

Wilburton, Okla, Jan. 14.-R-
Fire again today halted removal of
bodies from the Degnan McC onnell
mine near here after twelve had been
brought to the surface.
An explosion yesterday entombed
1O1 miners, eight of whom, were
taken out alive yesterday. This
morning another man, Cecil McKin-
ney, emerged alive after cropping his
way about the mine for % hours.
Little hope is held that any of the 80
men in the workings are alive.
Mckinney had crawled over the
body of his father and recognized
him, he said.
Six Bodies Taken Out Today
The first body taken out today was
that of b. A. Thomas, an engineer
who had gone into the mine shortly
before the blast to make SURVEY.
There followed Ave others and as
the bodies were hauled up each was
identified by his fellow workers.
Jim Mcconnell, owner of the mine,
returned today from Illinois where
he had gone to attend the funeral of
friend. He at once issued a state
ment dcnying the declaration last
night of Ed Boyle, state mine COM
IHISSlOucFs tuuC INC catastrophe was
the result Of having inexperienced
men in the mine, which is being OPP
Grated on non-union basis.
Men Held Certificates
Every gas man in tho mine held
a certificate" Mr.. Mcconnell de-
clarcd, land the majority of tho men
who were at work had been there
some time. It is not true to say that
, the mine was being worked with mon
who did not know their business"
y McKinncy's escape reduced the
number believed to be dead to %.
1t bccame known today that the
company carried it's own insurance
on the minors who were killed. The
state industrial commission has
adopted the policy Of allowing a fiat
compensation Of $4,000 for loss Of
life in Industrial accidents, and at
this rate the deaths of 90 men would
cost the company $828,0O0.
Forty-fivc collins arrived today by
truck from Fort Smith, Ark. Three
undcrtakcrs worked to prepare the
bodies for burial.
