OIL ROYALTIES
TO PAY TAXES
OF WYOMING
CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 27 (by As
sociated Press).—Dreams of a taxless
Wyoming may soon be realized. One
section of state-owned land will be
paying a royalty of $300,000 annually
before the end of the present year,
and if the state properties prove out
anywhere nearly so well the annual
revenue to the state will reach im
pressive figures.
Under the provisions of its organic
act, Wyoming was given sections 16
and 36 of every township for the main
tenance of schools. In this manner
the state possesses title to large
areas, and in many instances oil has
recently been discovered on these
tracts. It is from royalties on pro
duction secured in state land that
Wyoming may be enabled to meet its
current expenses.
The lease on one of the most valu
able sections in Wyoming is about to
expire by limitation, and negotiations
looking toward its renewel are pend
ing. The section is situated in the
Salt creek field. The first sand has
been largely exhausted, but it is believ
ed by geologists acquainted with the
fields that the Second Wall creek sand
underlies the entire area. If it does,
it is one of the most valuable proper
ties in the state. Last fall a well was
brought in the same township, and it
is the largest producer yet discovered
in Wyoming. It is from this sand the
great production is expected.
An oil company, which now holds
the lease in question, is paying royal
ties. Under the pending negotiations
it is thought certain that the present
royalty will be multiplied at least by
four, and perhaps by five. The lease
does not expire until December of the
present year.

RAWLINS, Wyo„ May 27 (by As- £
sociated Press).—Another tribute to j
the American army man was received •
recently by James Beck, until recently
manager of a local cafe. It was a let- c
ter containing four dollars Beck didn’t j
know he had lost. A returned soldier v
at Astoria, Ore., was the author of ;
the letter follows:
"Traveling on a troop train, I passed
Rawlins in January. I ate at your
cafe and got four dollars change from
a one dollar hill. Soldiers are pro
verbially ‘broke,’ you know, so I re
garded it as a God-send. Now I am
glad to return the four dollars to you
without interest. Thanks."
