SEASON. WIN, LOSE
Take WOrland, Bow To BOZeman
Conference Schedule Opens
Wednesday At Park City

Laurel opened it's basketball sea-
son, against the Worland high
school Thursday, with a 80 to "a
victory on it's home court, and then
travelled to Bozeman Saturday to
absorb its first defeat, at the hands
of the Gallatin Hawks: Using
most of the squad in both contests
freely in trying various combina-
tions, coach Anderson is satisfied
that the Locomotives will again
come forth with a strong team in
quest for state class B honors.
Hard luck struck the squads
early this season, for the
veteran Bill Sorg twisted his ankle
in the first minutes of the Worland
game. That kept him from making
the trip to Bozeman and may pos
sibly keep him away from action
for several weeks. The Locomotives
a deliberate style of ball in
the first contest, permitting the de-
to get set and, except for the
first quarter, were in the lead.
However, with just two minutes to
play, the visitors closed the gap to
one point. The Laurel boys worked
the ball carefully for five more
before the final whistle, to
win 80 to "a.
Saturday night the squad got off
TO a slow start, going behind 8 to
[. Then finding the basket for a
short time, it pulled up to a 9 to 7
count, only to have the Bozeman
,eam break through its d~efenses
and go ahead % to 8 at the half.
Shifting to a zone defense and re-
to a fast break, the team
made a game out Of it in the third
closing the lead to a 80
25 count. Frequent substituting

PURSUE QUEST FOR
COMMUNITY CENTER

Further discussion of a proposal
to build or acquire a structure for
use as a community building was
conducted Monday evening at a
meeting of about 20 people repre-
senting Laurel organizations. The
session was in the Commercial club
building on Main street, with Mrs.
H. r. Russell presiding.
The meeting recommended that a
permanent representative be ap-
pointed by each of the various civic
and fraternal organizations, to at
tend the community building meet
ings when called. 1t was further
suggested that two carry-through
members be appointed by each body
to assist the permanent represent
ative.
The community center proposal
is still formative. The discussion
indicated the raising of 100000 for
the project, and some attention was
given to whether the North school
building could be acquired should
The school district decide to aban-
don it and build another.

STORY OF NATURAL
GAS TOLD BY WILSON

Natural gas was known to the
a~ncients, who made some S of il
as an illuminant, but not until rath'
er recent years has it become ar
everyday convenience, so generally
accepted that not many people know
much about how it is produced.
transported and delivered to custom
ers. Paul Wilson, Laurel manager
of Billings Gas company, told Ro-
tarians the story Wednesday at the
clubs weekly meeting. He was in
troduced by Merritt Williams, a
program committeeman.
Wilson said the Romans centuries
ago found springs that burned,
forming fountains of fire. The an
Gent Chinese made similar discov-
cries, built the first pipe line of
followed trees and used gas for
illumination. The first line was
1G miles long, but it blew up when
a new foreman opened the control
gate and let gas at full pressure
into the wooden line.
Springs that would burn were
found in America as early at ITS.
Early sites were Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Although difficult to capture,
gas was piped in 1863 to a city in
Ohio for lighting purposes. AS time
passed the natural fuel was used
for heating.
AS he drew blackboard diagrams
of curves in the earth's crust, Will
son explained how biologists locate
petroleum and ~gas-bearing pockets.
The sometimes enormous pressures
are exerted by water which, when
the gas and oil are removed, flows
out through the well opening on the
surface. Most of the wells produc-
ing for use here were drilled to
depths of $500 to $500 feet. The
rock pressures range from 1,500 to
1000 pounds.
When a we'll is completed, with
tubing to convey the gas and ce-
ment to shut off water originating
in upper strata, a master gate is
installed at the top. A pressure
valve and flow beam are needed to
regulate the flow to the desired
pressure for delivery into the trans
porting line. Wilson drew illustra-
tions of these, also of drifts that
are buried in the ground to remove
casinghead gasoline and moisture.
Along the line at necessary inter
walls are calcium phosphate pots
through which the gas must pass
on its way to the customers. The
chemicals absorb water.
Several gas wells located in var
ious Wyoming and southern Mon
tana fields supply gas for use in
the Yellowstone valley at Laurel,
Billings and Park City as well as
to towns along the route from
Wyoming to Montana. The combin-
ed flows are united at a gathering
place before being sent northward
through the 12-inch line that de-
livers to Laurel.

Kemp said the harvest is now
more than 80 per cent completed

The Colorado district will average
over Is tons per acre, with entire

ing exceptional yields-more than
II tons per acre at Eaton and Wind

per acre at Greeley, Loveland and
Fort Lupton. The Billings-Lovell

and the Nebraska Wheatland dis
trict, handicapped by less favorable
growing conditions, is averaging
