Oil Notes Echo Wyoming Oil Lobby and Turner Ties
In Kemmerer Wyoming during January 1918, local officials and business leaders urged Senators Warren and Kendrick to oppose the Walsh bill in its present form and support amendments. This appeal, from the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners and Kemmerer Chamber of Commerce, warned the bill would place oil fields under oil trust control, harming small landowners. The piece also recounts T. O. Turner’s rise in the oil towns, founding Corona Development Company in Casper and involvement with the Wyoming Oil Men's Protective Association while in Kemmerer.
