Show OIL NEAR OGDEN. Quietly, and without unnecessary booming, the oil fields in Spring Valley, a few miles from Evanston, Wyoming, and only 87 miles east of Ogden, arc being developed. There are a number of producing welb and several of them have been yielding commercial oil which has been sold on the market as a high-grade illuminant. With the enlarging of this field, demonstrating the extensiveness of the oil bodies and the permanency of the industries, Ogden should begin to offer inducements for the establishment of a refinery here and the building of a pipe line from the oil fields. From Evanston to Ogden there is a drop of 2,000 feet, which would facilitate the transmission of oil through a pipe line. There was a movement started about a year ago, to build a pipe line, construct a refinery and other auxiliary plants, but the promoters promot-ers allowed the undertaking to drop out of sight. On the Pacific Coast thousands of dollars are going into the oil fields and great industries are being built on the oil products. While money is seeking oil for investment is the time to set forth the merits of this Evanston-to-Ogdcn pipe line and refinery. |
