OIL DRILLERS ARE VERY BIS
Scottsbluff Republican:
The writer had the pleasure of vis
iting the new oil well at Kelley's
ranch, in Banner county, Sunday,
through the kindness of A. J. Shum
way and family. We ma 'e the trip
in their new Chandler car, and as the
day was an ideal one we enjoyed the
trip very much.
The site for the oil well is on the
top of a dome, which has the appear
ance of an exhausted volcano, and
Just at the edge of what appears to
have been the center, a derrick one
hundred and twenty-five feet high has
been erected. Two lurge boilers have
t,, . n installed, and an electric light
plant for the use of the various build- j
ings has been put in. About three
thousand feet of twenty-inch casing J
is already on the ground., while tools
for drilling are everywhere visible.
While the actual drilling for oil has
not yet been started, one is impressed .
at once with the fact that the com-
pany means business.
The actual drilling is delayed on
account of not finding water sufficient
to run the plant. Three wells have
already been drilled to the depth of
400 feet, but no water has been
reached. However, there is an old
well about 300 feet to the north of
the plant, and it will be cleaned out
and piped across to the boilers. This
work will probably be done within
the next few days. Old timers in
form them that there is plenty of
water there for all purposes. If this
is done the actual drilling will in all
prabability be commenced by the
middle of the week.
The foreman of the gang informed
us that as soon as they could get
Btaited on the well proper they ex
pected to go down at the rate of 800
feet a day. He stated that they were
prepared to go down 5,000 feet, with
a hole twenty inches in diameter,
cased with iron casing. It was stated
that the only drawback was getting
water for running the plant. It is
thought they will get that problem
settled by next Sunday and will then
be drilling for oil in earnest.
Three good houses have been erect
ed for the use of the company, and
they are built along the lines of the
buiidings usually erected by the gov
ernment at their camp. The gen
eral appearance is such that it is evi
dent to anyone that they are titer
for business, and that it is no wild
cat scheme is evident from the fact
that they are not IB the market wl
any stock for gale, and do not wan
to sell any.
ENfilXEK.lt AXD FIREMAN HTM
Hay Sprint: News:
Engineer Redfield and Fireman
Williams were almost killed when
the boilor to an engine they were
driving blew up. The explosion
happened last Monday about 9 a. m.,
five miles east of Gordon, presumably
because there was not enough water
in the boiler.
The train was an extra with only
six cars. The engine was blown all
to pieces, one part weighing more
than a ton was thrown clear over into
a pasture a hundred feet away. A
merchandise car next to the engine
and two oil cars were derailed.
Engineer Redfield was thrown clear
over the right-of-way- fence, some 50
feet from the track. He was badly
bruised and scalded. Fireman Wil
liams was pinioned underneath the
wreckage, both of his legs were
broken and he was otherwise bruised.
Ita took some tme to get him out as
the ties to the track had to be cut
away. The injured men were taken
to Hot Springs as quickly as possible
for treatment. The engine and ca
boose went through here with them
about 12 M. It was at first thought
that one of them could not live, but
later reports are to the effect that
both have a chance for recovery.
The wrecker passed through Hay
Springs from Chadron .donday to
pick up the wreck.
ures. little attention was paid to mut
ters pertaining to public Improve
ments. In view of the fart that such
skyscrapers as are being built here
will make a one-story federal build
ing look out of place, he will en

creased so that a building can be
built that will be more in keeping
with the rest of the buildings of the
city.
The JudfC Informs us that the
Sixth congressional district of Ne
braska has now taken the lead as to
Wealth per capita of any of the Ne
braska districts, snd Is the wealthiest
district In the state. This has been
brought about In the past few years,
by reason of the production of sugar,
potash and live stock, which is bring
ing more wealth to the state than
was dreamed of a few years ago. He
informs us that in the eastern part
of the state it is common talk that
Scottsbluff will be the third city in
size and wealth within the next three
years, and that it will be officially
reoognixed when the next census Is
taken. In 1920. He left here for
Oerlng Friday afternoon, where he
spent the remainder of the day visit
ing friends over there.
The Judge makes an annual visit
to this country, the same as he does
to all parts of the Sixth district, so
that he can get In touch with the
needs and wants of his constituents,
and is thereby able to better serve
them when he is at Washington.

Gering Courier:
The solicitation for the war fund
of the Y. M. C. A. was staged effect
ively last Wednesday at Gering as
well as over the county, and It is ap
parent that it haB been a successful

$7,000.
MOSES WILL III N ONCE MORE
Scottsbluff Republican:
Congressman M. P. Kinkaid was in
the city Friday shaking hands with
has many friends here. He had been
up the line inspecting the government
works, and while here interviewed a
number of our people on the various
matters of public interest. The Judge
is looking fine and says his health
was never better. In answer as to
whether he would run for congress
again, he said: "I always have run,"
which, of course, means that he will
represent the Sixth district in con
gress again, and as long ats he feels
that he wants to. He accompanied
the writer to the sugar factory, where
he secured some first-hand informa
tion on the sugar situation, which is
on of the important matters in which
congress is greatly interested at the
present time. His 'rip over the gov
ernment works was made in company
with Attorney A. H. Honnald, and he
,is greatly pleased with the show
ing that is being made on the va-
lotis projects of the North Platte
valley.
In answer 'o our inquiry about a
federal building, he says there,

ongreea will be a bUBineu session,
nl that the matter will be taken
ire of, that as the last two sessions
