Midvale, Utah The drill is now biting into the rock at a depth of 840 feet on the estate of the Western States Development company in eastern Utah, on the Crescent structure west of Thomp son on the D.· & R. G. W. railroad. The borings are strongly impregnated with oil and the engineers in charge are looking for important developments in the next few days. Work was held up during the past week by the breaking of a belt whici. necessitated a hurry order and several days delay. S. C. Sloan, one oi the most experienced drillers in the west, has resumed operations and the work is progressing rapidly. The Western States Development company is one of the big interests now developing the eastern Utah fields. The company has a total of 17,000 acres most of which is in Ut.lh and part of which is in Wyoming. F ortunately for this organization, its holdings are happily situated on structures that have already come in or hold splendid promise for the work t hat is to be done. The company was established in eastern Utah before the Moab gusher came in. With that starling development greater acreage was immediately acquired in the race that became n ecessary with all the big oil companies of the nation because it became manifest that eastern Utah is prospectively the greatest undevelop· ed oil field in America. Land both n orth and south of the gusher were acquired and drilling contracts have been undertaken which will mean the testing of the company's holdings in several different areas. ~- :r-· \ r~ ....._ . ~ I I • !

MAKING THE MOST OF A GOOD THING Much is sa!c and much is writteu in exploitation of the person who makes the best of bad circumstances. .Reams of paper are used up in telling how the boy, born deaf and dumt.. into a poverty-stricken family, witu a drunken father, gets himself a goou education and a fine position anu eventually rises to fame and fortune. Lots of stories are told of the woman with a reprobate husband, whv works unceasingly until she has completely reformed him and lifted him mto the desirable-citizen class. An infinite number of tales are recounted of people who have found themselves in all sorts of aeplorab1" situations, and who by grit and backbone and intelligent applicatiOn have wo:t;ked themselves out of tnose conditions and into enviable states. That is all right. But why isn't something said about the iuuiv!duu; who makes the most of good circumstances 'I What about some storieb of the boy who is born into a home where his parents have money anu refinement and intelligence and wlto are anxious to give him every help that a fellow could ask for? What about writing some stories about that kind of boy and telling of how he made use of every- one of his advantages? And what about some stories of the .voman who finds herself married to a prince of a fellow, and who appre(!iates her husband 100 per cent and helps him to rise still higher? What about some stories of people who are blessed in a thousand difierent ways, and who value those blessings--every one of Jthem-ana who do everything they can to make the fullest constructive use of those olessings; and who sit down at night and count up their opportunities and check them over to see that they are letting nothing get by? Well, stories of that sort aren't particularly interesting. They haven't much punch. There are no situations. It is just a plain every-day matte1 of having enough sense to know a good thing when one sees it. There 1sn't anything exciting about that. A fellow has to get into a hole or be thrown into a hole and then get himself out of that hole if his case is to grip public imagination. And sad it is, but true, that too often a man has to be in a hole, or get into a hole, or be thrown into a hole, before his case grips his own .magination. Strange it is, but a fact, that thC; average man has to learn to make the best of bad circumstances before he knows enough to make the most of good circumstances. ABSENT MJHDED There was a musty, crusty age when grand-dad was a kid, when strict conventionality directed all you did; the maidens of ye olden t}mes were fair, ~e all agree, but to my mind they lacked the ztp of modern hberty. The charming grace that Nature gave was hidden then from view of idle eyes upon the street and swains who came to woo. They laced her in a .surt of cast of canvas-covered bone, while hoops encased her like a keg-they thought it gave her "tone." The modern maid has shuffled off the ancient hobble-straps. she's thrown away the old time to5s and in new freedom flaps. She looks the whole world in the eye, she's rolling silks today, and every grace that Nature gives she puts upon display. Some moss-backs say she overspoons-they do not comprehend-but we are for her all the way, our fair and flapping friend. She's just as good as grandma was-no other will you find to beat her when she settles down, the wife-andmother kind.
