0HIO'S OIL WELL IS
CONSIDERED LARGEST
In ENTIRE STATE
Drilling Discontinued and Well
Capped - T~ensleep Sands
Heavily Oil Bearing
Much Activity

Although the Ohio Oil company
has finished its work on it's deep
test well in Oregon Basin and has
capped same, there is much activ-
ity among the drilling companies
and daily trucks are hauling equip
ment to the field for the drilling of
more wells. The Ohio went into
the Tensleep sands on Friday of
last week and on good authority
it is said that the we'll flowed more
than $50 barrels of oil in less than
fifteen minutes. There have been
some denial of this by officials Of
the Ohio but those who were at
the well on Friday when it was
flowing state that it may be rated
one of the biggest black oil wells
ever brought In within the state.
and its production is estimated
anywhere from one to two thousand
barrels a day.
Just what the Ohio will do in
the way of further development is
not known, but for several DAYS
they have been ~endeavoring to
reach an agreement with the own.
ers of valuable permits in Oregon
Basin for further development. G..
R. Hetzler, superintendent of op-
erations here, with offices at Bill
lings, admits that the well just
finished is to be a big producer.
and that it practically proves t6s
entire structure. If an agreement
can be reached with the interests

likely that the Ohio's next well will
be drilled there.
Ferdig Busy
S. G. Ferdig, wealthy oil opera
tor from Montana, who has u
some valuable acreage in the heart
t or the structure already has a small
= rig drilling on section 10, Township
: 81, Range 100, n a new standard
rig is being erected to start a deem
| test well. That Mr.. Ferdig means
business is evidenced by the kind
OF equipment which he is assembI-
ing for the work, and he should
be ready to spud in within the next
ten days on the big well.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdig have taken
residence at the w. T. Hogg home
in Cody and expect to be here much
OF the time during the next wear.
leonard and Brenden to Drill
The Leonard Co., and the Bren-
dell interests both plan wells in
oregon Basin this m and ac-
cordfng to advance reports will
bring in both Standard and rotary
rigs for the work. Operations of
this character spell real develou-
ment and regardless of what the
ohio may decide to do as to GET
ting a market for its black oil il
LOOKS as though the independent
operators would force the speedy
development of the new oil field
May Test North Structure
OH talk heard On the streets to-
day is to the effect that a substan-
tia oil company may contract with
M. Guetterman for the drilling of n
deep test well on the structure tn
n north of Cody, where Mr.. Guet-
terman secured a small we'll Of n
usually high gravity oil last year
JUS what credence may be placed
on these rumors is not known. but
n thing is certain that Mr.. Guet-
terman has a full program for de-
yelopment of his interests this
season, and within a very short
time will start to work once more
across the river.

events ever staged on the Cody
track. From the boys pony race to
the thrilling relays, the horses to
be ridden will be winners anywhere.
Some worthwhile cash prizes will
be offered and opportunities offered
which will attract the best talent of
the entire north and south west.
The committee has asked every
one to cooperate. They want some
help to get the proper amount of
publicity. The local merchants have
ordered in the neighborhood of ten
thousand special envelopes, and
similar orders are being placed
daily. 1t is the everybody help
attitude that will make the Cody
show a big one. and the committee
is requesting, and will be apprec-
iatiye of all the cooperation it may
receive.

Many Elk w ere

The killing of elk for their teeth was
one qf the early problems of game con-
seryation In Wyoming, A. A. Anderson
of Cheyenne, wyoming, former super
visor OF the Yellowstone national for
est, first created in the United States,
says In the state historical department
bulletin just published.
Formerly these tusks had brought
only a nominal sum-" he said, but
since the order of Elks had adopted
them as the emblem of their society,
they had been selling for $25 or more
per pair. l remember that day
one Of my rangers arrested a man
named Rogers on a charge Of killing
game out of season. Twenty-Five fresh
elk tusks were found in his possession.
"The Elks were holding their conven-
ton In Salt Lake City. / wrote a letter
to the convention and told 1t the facts.
My letter was c n a resolution
passed which abolished elk tusks as the
official emblem of the order, and which
i think 1 may safely assert-saved
the lives of thousands of elk"

cial habit. l have heard some express
bitter regrets that they were unable to
smoke as it sickened them. These are
exceptions to the rule, and they suffer on
this account.
Many women have taken up smoking
from an idea that most social leaders are
fond OF cigarettes, and these would-be
climbers think that smoking Will give
them an air of distinction-of belonging
TO the world of fashion. Others smoke
because they like it. and their new free
dom makes it permissible for them to do
SO. If men smoke. why should not the
women? Sex has nothing to do with the
matter. The only question worthy of
