State Historical Sketches
Oil
Oil
BY ANNA NICKOL

of the more promising newcomers
in petroleum production, with ex-
tensive oil fields in Fremont and
Natrona counties, near the center of
that state. Carbon county, lying adj
iacent to Wyoming, was near enough
to producing-wells to seem unspec-
tacular.
Nor did either state or nation
realize the enormous pot~entialities
of this new wealth, since it's uses
were largely developed after petro-
leum had been found in large guam
titles. J..
The average person had not grown
too dependent on his Model T,
though he hoped there would con-
tinue to be enough c~oal-oil to keep
his lamp burning until Ga distant
dreamy he could have electricity. He
needed time to rearrange his ideas.
New Fields Open
Then additional fields were
opened-the next two while dryland
farmers were sweating out their
Gethsemane in northern and eastern
Montana. After that, interest became
keen. Drilling companies turned
their eyes farther north, measuring
with practiced skill the dip and
strike of faulted strata, estimating
from O1IforOn0fy,o re- xxrIo,o x.14..1
might have damned an underground
reservoir, probing the surface of the
earth in search of this liquid wealth.
There is a certain pattern, so far,
to these oil fields, and they fall
roughly into three groups-Carbon
county with its neighbors, Saltwater
and Big Horn counties; Petroleum
and Musselshell, and Toole, Pondera.
Teton and Glacier. Also, the trend
OF discovery was north from Wyo-
ming, with Carbon first, Musselshell
and Petroleum next, and Toole fol-
lowing these. Later fields were in
the nature of extensions ON these
basic ones, and new wells, at vary
ing depths, are still being discovered.
Hope for Homesteaders
Oil held out to those homesteaders
a new hope. They had for the most
part m~ortgaged their land soon after
obtaining the deeds to it and, in the
early l92Os, when oil was discovered,
were threatened daily by foreclosure
on those mortgages, whose interest
they frequently could not meet.
There was, however, a very alive
fly In the unguent. Farm loan COM
panies, which hadn't realized much
profit On their investment in several
years; were as anxious to dip into
the new wealth as were farmers. !,
Foreclosure became a daily real
ity, with less clemency shown these
remaining farmers than had been
extended while there seemed no
point in mortgage-holders taking
over a gray desert of dust-choked
Russian thistles, earth mounded
fences and drifting trees of wild
mustard.
Leases were ~variously phrased,
and some of them included a small
sum per acre to bind the bargain.
AT these, many farmers grasped, see
ing in the ready cash a straw ia
help turn the tide of their misfor-
tune.
Prosperity came in those early

LOS ANGELES. Dec. T. Two
prominent athletes who thought
they were going to have lunch
with the Shah Of Iran yesterday
cooled their heels in the lobby OF
the Monarch's hotel and wondered
what it was all about.
The Shah, meanwhile, was
swimming in the hotels outdoor
pool. His spokesmen said he knew
nothing about the visit OF Bob
Matthias, national and Olympic
decathlon champion, his brother
Gene and Glenn Davis, former
Army football star.
Members of the royal party said
Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi
had not invited the athletes. and
that he arranged to lunch in
privacy with his encourage. State
Department attaches likewise pro-
fessed no knowledge of any invita-
ton extended to Mr.. Davis or the
Matthias boys.
Then along came Russell Ernest
Baum. He described himself as
sewing machine manufacturer who
likes to entertain athletes at his
home in Wynnewood, Pa. Mr..
Baum said he got Davis and the
Matthias brothers to the hotel.
The Matthias boys came from
Stanford University, at Palo Alto,
by plane, stopping off at their
home town of Tulare to pick up
dress clothes. Mr.. Davis lives in
nearby Claremont.
Mr.. Baum flew to Los Angeles
Monday night. but he said he
didn't notify the Shah's party
about his plans until yesterday.
He spent the morning trying to
get in touch with the visiting
ruler.
Mr.. Baum has a large illum-
mated scroll, signed by a dozen
prominent athletes. which he
wants to present to the Shah. The
scroll invites the Iranian mon
arch to a reception at Mr.. Baum's S
home.
He gave up the pursuit OF
luncheon arrangements shortly
afterward. Not in the least crest
fallen, he finally ran down Ray
mond D. Muir, chief ceremonial
of1icer for the State Department.,

Before Mr.. Baum found Mr..

He said he had an appointment.

Bonded Debt of County's Units
Reaches High of $5S4, ,71S Last Year

Total bonded indebtedness in
Union County'S various political
sub divisions reach S584,7l8.l4 in
l948 to eclipse any other such
total for previous years, County
Auditor F. T. McCurdy reported
Saturday.
This sum is Sl29,000 more than
the total for Dec. 81, 1947. The in
crease should not continue on so
large a scale this year and might
possibly show a decrease, Mr..
McCurdy said.
The county itself is not under
any Indebtedness although the
records show a sum of $1,000, with
interest at As percent, to be held
against the county. These bonds
were due for retirement in 1928
but they have never been pre-
sented for payment and therefore
technically they are still held
against the county.
Allen only Township
Allen was the only township in
debt in l948. Bonded indebtedness
on Dec. 81, l947 reached S3,528.2l.

Villages Owe S2S3.025
The remainder of the grand
total was accounted for by the
village debts of $3.50, ,025.00. Sewer
bonds out of the general revenue
fund were decreased from S6875
to S4125 by redemptions during
the year. The bonds are on 3A
percent interest and will be re-
tired by 1850.
Mortgage revenue bonds, which
are not redeemed out of the tax
collections but by the income
from the project itself, amounted
to $5l 900 on Dec. 81, l948. $1,000
worth of the bonds were redeem
ed in l948. This part of the total
village indebtedness is on 3.5 per-
cent interest and will be paid off
by 1877.
Bonds for the sewer and drain
age projects out of the general
fund make up the largest part of
the $250,000 village indebtedness.
S28,800 was paid off during the
past year cutting the total from
S223, 200 to S194, 400. According to
plan, this will be erased by 1867.
The swimming pool debt was
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000 in
l948. The swimming pool will be
clear by 1851 if things go accord
ing to the present plan.
Refunding bonds, bonds which
are issued to pay off other bonds,
were cut from $1,000 to $500 last
year. These are at As percent in
tereSt and were due for retire
ment in l947.
In all, S34,050 worth of bonds
were retired by the villages in
l948, cutting the total indebted,
ness from S287,O75 to S253,025.
The bond retirement and sink
ing funds from which the out
standing bonds are redeemed
shows the following balance
county, S39,733.99; village, S69,,
470.27; schools, SAL $3.50.
Grand totals for the county
villages, schools, and townships
are: balance as of Dec. 81, l947
27,865.l6; redemptions during
1948, S72,284.52; new issues dur

During the year S733.77 worth of
bonds were redeemed cutting the
debt to S2794.44. The township
issued the bonds to purchase a
fire truck. They are due for re-
tirement in 1850.
Issues for the village and coun-
ty schools accounted for $326,898.-
70 of the half-million total. The
bonds covered buildings sites, re-
pairs, and equipment. Most of the
money went for new school buses,
however, according to the clerks
reports.
The total for Dec. 81, l948,
showed a considerable increase
over the indebtedness for the
same date in 1947. On the last day
of 1947 the school bond issues
amounted to $235, ,26l.95. Bonds
totaling $37,500.75 were redeemed
throughout the year l948 but new
issues far surpassed the redemp-
tions. The sum of $l29, 1880 was
added to the outstanding total by
new bond issues according to Mr..
McCurdy'S report.
