This City Is Named One of Points
on the Cheyenne Billings
Air Route.

According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
under date of Aug. IA, a number
of weather reporting stations to
guide the air ships Of the Wyom-
ing Air Service on the Cheyenne
Billings air route are to be es-
tabliShed by the air-ways weather
service. H. P. Adams, meteorolo-
gist in charge of the airport
weather station at Cheyenne,
Wyo., said Tuesday, it is tenta-
lively planned that these stations
will be established at Wheatland,
Glendo and Midwest, Wyo., and
at Hardin, Mont.
These stations will report the
weather to the nearest regular
station, either at Sheridan, Cas-
per, Billings or Cheyenne, Adams
explained, about the time a flight
is due to start across the route.
Local men will be employed part
time in each town to make the
report on the weather.
It is planned to place multi
motored planes in operation be-
tween Denver and Cheyenne next
month.
The increased passenger bust
ness between Denver and Chey-
enne makes the use of larger ships
necessary, Marvin Lands, operat-
ing official of the Wyoming Air
Service, said Tuesday. Single
motor ships will continue in use
for passengers and express.
It is Mr. Lands opinion that by
next spring multi-motored planes
will be placed in service on the
Cheyenne-Billings line. on which
the company holds a mail con-
tract. There has been a steady
increase of business on the north
leg of the route, Mr.. Lands an
nounced, adding that the volume
in july was 80 per cent greater
than in June.
The work of improving the Har-
din and Lodge Grass airports is
again underway. a force of 20 men
having been put to work at the
Hardin port last Monday morning,

WELL IS ON
PRODUCTION TEST

longed run the settled production
will be around $50 barrels a day.
One feature about the well is
that the oil is flowing steadily
and not internationally as is the
case in gushers on many other
fields. This is due to a strong,
constant water pressure being
present. Due to water channeling
in the Amsden formation from
which the oil is being taken, there
is some water mixed with the oil,
but this is being removed by a
simple process at the field.
Due to the presence of water
with the oil in the other wells
which were drilled years ago in
Soap Greek field, every precaution
was taken by Superintendent
George Daniels during the drilling
operations on the new well to
determine the source of water
which has been communicating the
old wells. A perfect cement job
was accomplished in setting the
65s-inch casing before drilling in
to production. One of the best
drillers in the Rocky mountain
area was employed and a careful
check-up was made of the log.
There is no doubt in the minds
of the operators but that a
thorough and complete test was
made at this point.
1t is the intention of this COM
pany to develop enough produc-
ton to put the Soap creek field
on a paying basis and in so doing
they are not only helping the
members of the Crow Indian tribe,
but are accelerating business in
this part of the state. Company
officials, .enroute from California,
will soon arrive in Hardin and
make plans for future drilling
operations after a thorough test
run has been made on the new
we'll,

year Not only do they come north
Themselves and encourage their
friends to do likewise, but Mr.
Whites stories and articles with
Alaskan themes which have APP
peared in nationally read maya
zines have added to the interest
in the Territory.
Everything has contributed to-
ward making this cruise one of the
pleasantest we have had in Alas
ka. California weather, streams
just right for fishing and plenty of
wild life to photograph" the author
said.
Salmon, Deer Scarce
Salmon have been later enter
ing the various streams than in
any previous year they have spent
in the Territory, and are much
more scarce, Mr.. White said. Up a
number OF streams flowing into
Freshwater Bay there were not
more than 70 or 80 salmon, where
they are usually damned, he said.
Deer, also, are extremely scarce and
many skeletons can be seen on the
beaches. without exaggeration, I
would say there is only one deer
where five or six years ago there
we're between 400 and $780," he de-
clared.
Wr. White said he was unable
to account for the scarcity of deer
and at several points climbed some
distance away from the shore in
an effort to determine whether or
not there were more in the hills,
but found none.
Near Pavlof Bay the Kuru struck
steel head run and those aboard
caught 100 in three days. The
smallest was six and one-half
pounds and the largest fourteen,
with nine or ten pounds the aver
age Those not used fresh were
sailed down in barrels to be given
to various friends.
Built in 1880 the Kuru, which
by the way. means "waterbuck," in
Africa, is 80 feet in length, has a
beam of 16l2 feet and a nine
foot draft. 1t is a successor to the
Simba, or lion in African parlance,
but Mr. White said he is through
having new yachts built as the
Kuru is perfectly satisfactorily.
Among other practical equipment
he has added to the Kuru, after
years of experience cruising, is a
regular halibut beat anchoring de-
vice which enables him to anchor
in 70 fathoms of water if necessary
1t carries a crew of three in addi-
ion to its noted captain.
