netted quite a little sum.

accepted the general manageiship of
"The Wyoming Pipe Line Company."
The pipe line company has several tank
cars now supplying illuminating oI to
consumers on a part of the road. He
has also been elected ' president of the
Skimmer Company, which proposes to
use some creeks tributary to their wells
for floatipg the oil to Fremont where an
apparatus will be put up for skimming
the oil from the creeks. If the intention
is to pour the oil on the water and trust
to natural causes for its getting to Fre
mont, we are of the opinion that itis very
risk' and unsafe way for transporting oil,
especially to people living on said creeks,
not taking into consideration the loss that
would follow the touch of a match. Tfie
