Letter from Ethan Allen Hitchcock to Thomas Albert Latta

Letter from Ethan Allen Hitchcock to Thomas Albert Latta

In a confidential letter, Interior Secretary Ethan Allen Hitchcock agrees with newspaper editor Thomas Albert Latta about the distressing condition of oil interests in the Indian Territory. Hitchcock thinks the best remedy would come from independent operators “unitedly building” pipe lines and refineries to make them independent of Standard Oil and its subsidiaries. He promises the full protection of the Department of the Interior to this class of operator. Hitchcock closes by thanking Latta for his support and asking if he may seek further assistance from him in the future.

Statement by the Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, concerning a proposed wilderness area in the Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park

The U.S. Geological Survey states for the record that it has not conducted a survey of the mineral potential of the proposed wilderness area in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Available information indicates eight coal beds in the area and it could potentially be favorable for oil and gas, although no test wells have been drilled in the area. The north unit of the park is considered to be underlain by many deep salt beds.
