day to the Address of the Oil Produc-
ers of Pennsylvania, on the subject OF !
determinations in freights by the rail-
roads, and the Free Pipe bill, now be-
fore the Legislature. We publish this
because we believe that, although it
may not no be apparent to all, the
day is not far distant when this ques'
ton will be of vital interest to Forest
County indeed, the lull in operations
in our county at present, is due entire
ly to low priced oil, and hence, we
are directly interested in any measure
which promises the speedy develop
ment of our territory. We make the
following extract on the subject from
the Pittsburgh Telegraph of Monday
last
"The Free Pipe bill will pass-it
must pass, because it is simple justice
because Providence will not permit
one corporation to trample on and
crush out of existence a whole race of
law. abiding, industrious people. If
the present Legislature resolves itself
into a herd of cattle, to be purchased
at SO much per head, the next one will
not. In the great march of events the
cheapest and best method Of doing a
thing will prevail. A railroad cannot
carry oil as cheaply or as safely as the
DETAINED pipe line. What the pipes
, will carry at cost of ten ceats per
barrel will cost on the rails one dol
