HEAVY CONSTRUCTION
WORK FERTILE VALLEY

Heavy construction work is under
way on the Fertile Valley ditch,
and contrary to many idle rumors,
this project is to be as intensely
operated this season as in former
years. Last fall there was a bad
break in one of the fumes on the
Fertile Valley ditch, but at the
present time six four-horse teams
are moving dirt and the ditch will
be in excellent shape before the
time to run water.
Fertile Valley is going through
the anne character of construction
as did the Cody Canal a few years
ago., and sometimes the problems
with which the canal board have
to contend seem quite knotty, but
the finances of the company are in
very good shape, and withal the
improvement work which is neces-
sal this year. the levy for up-keep
and overhead has not been increas-
ed one cent over that of former
years.

PROMINENT MONTANA
OIL MAN PLEASED
WITH OREGON BASIN
Believes Field a Large One and
that Its Development VIII
Spell Prosperity for Cody

That the Oregon Basin field is
going to prove n of the great
est oil fields in the entire west
and that Cody in consequence Will
become one of the real oil towns
of the Rocky Mountain region was
the opinion expressed this morning
by S. C. Ferdig, the largest indie
pendent operator in the field. who
returned to Cody yesterday accom-
panied by Mrs. Ferdig. after a two
weeks absence during which they
visited the Pacific coast.
Although the Ohio well is not
yet, as I understand, through the
Embar sand" said Mr.. Ferdig,
the showing made by the well
yesterday Is such as to satisfy me
that 1000 barrels is a minimum
estimate of what IL will make, and
the structure is such that 8 appears
conservative to say that this ono
well practically proves an area
three or four miles wide by possibly
eight long. Moreover. there is every
reason to expect that further de-
velopment Will prove the field as
a big producer Of green oil of high
grade. and 1t is by no menas GER
tain that the. discovery well is on
the top of the structure.
Personally I look for still bigger
wells to be brought in. and with
several independents In the field
development promises to go for
ward at a rapid pace. In all prob
ability anywhere from 25 to per-
haps 40 or more wells will be
started this year. either to validate
permits or for thorough testing of
acreage and the discovery of light
oil in the upper sands which is
almost certain. will stimulate ac-
tivity tremendously. Z
LAS each well means an average
OF six or more men. including drill
lers. helpers. cooks and truckers,
many whom will bring their fam
lilies. this Ia going to mean several
hundred more people who will be
getting their supplies and spending
their money in Cody and this Isl
bound to mean n lot to the town,
especially as the oil people earn
good wages or salaries and are
good spenders and in addition Cody
is hi logical supply center for this
and other nearby structures which
are due for early development"
