Mr.. Draper recently read q paper on oil
production and consumption before the
Pittsburg historical association recently,
an extract Of which is as follows:
The origin Of petroleum is involved in
greater obscurity than the origin Of coal.
Some contend that il Is q substance of or
ganic origin, while others claim it is of a
mineral origin. The first oil company Of
which we have any knowledge existed in
Venango county in 1929. A couple of
men gathered a few barrels Of oil from
Oil creek, and, procuring a horse and
wagon, began vending it throughout the
country as medicine. The name was de-
rived from Petro, rock, oleum, oil,
or rock oil. The Egyptians recognized
it's value LOO B. G. On one of the Ion
ian islands there is an old fountain that
has flowed for over 200 years. General
Hays states that in 1906 he purchased the
entire product Of the Franklin region,
amounting to sixteen barrels. and retail
ed it in this city at 81 per gallon. This
was probably the first corner in oil. In
1915 Lewis Peterson, Sr., brought a sam
pie bottle of petroleum to this city from
his salt well at Tarentum. He. Morrison
Foster and David Anderson experiment.
ed with it and found that it could be
made an excellent lubricator 1t was
used by the Hope cotton factory for ten
years, the proprietors being the only ones
cOgnizant of the fact. The PENNSYLVANIA
Rock Oil company was formed in this
year, and experimental in the neighbOr-
hood Of Titusville. On August %, 1859.
oil in large quantities was first discovered.
The first cargo was brought down on the
steamer Venango in 1860 by Captain
Reynolds. The cargo was rapidly dispos-
ed of at thirty-two cents per gallon. This
lucky venture sounded the keynote to
the oil interests in Venango and other
counties. and the entire district was
thrown into a blaze Of excitement. Oil
City. Pothole. Tidi0ut and other cities
/ sprang up with mushroom rapidity, and
/ Oil creek became the center Of ceaseless
activity. The first oil carried across the
Atlantic was in 1860. and was taken by
a canny Scot in homeopathic doses The
traffic has been increased to such an ex-
tent that now several hundred vessels
! are engaged in transporting it across the
/ sea. In 1861 the exports amounted to
/ 50, 600 gallons, while IN 1898 the ship
ment amounted to over 49,, ,000, 600 gal
Ions. During the past twenty-five years,
the raw material has huctuated in price
from forty-one cents to $50 per barrel
with an average price of $3.50 per bar.

A steamer between St. Marks and Apa-
Iachicola, touching at James Island, is
talked Of.
Water has given out at DeLand, and
the ice factory has suspended operations
for the time being.
Nearly 100000 worth Of real estate
have changed hands in the vicinity Of
DeLand during the past six months.
The value of real estate in Volusia
county is increasing at a phenomenal
rate. Five years ago lands that then sold

ETONIAH, FLA, April 1st, 1884.
Editors DAILY NEWS.
THE NEWS failed to come last mail.
Now we appreciate this sterling little
journal too highly to have it detained
eight or ten days after publication. There
are one or two screws loose on our mail
route, so loose that they jingle Our
farmers are about done planting. Those
who planted early have some fine stands
Of cotton, and some Of them are planting
corn. The acreage Of cotton is probably
100 per cent greater this year. Theplan-
ters are also using more fine seed.
The distance from this point to PaIat-
lza has been made five miles shorter by
the construction Of q substantial bridge
across Etoniah creek on the Palatka and
Etoniah and Starke road. We also have
one at the Norton ford. Many thanks to
our intelligent, wide-awake and enter
prising county commissioners. Those
bridges have long been needed and the
benefit which this section derives from
their construction is incalculable.
Immigrants still find good homes in
this vicinity but the last of the public
domain will soon have been taken up.
MIR. Turner, of South Carolina. has
purchased nice tract of hammock land
of Mr.. w. r. Ninton. Messrs. Cone and
Mr.. Turner have also entered some fine
lots of land which lie south of Georges
lake. We expect to have a frst-class
saw mill on the lake in the near future.
If those prominent Republicans who
complain so bitterly against the tax-as-
SCISSOR and county commissioners will
compare notes with some of the leading
Democrats of this vicinity they will Ger
tainIy be convinced that the grave char
ges which they make against the Demo
cratic party are falIacious. The Demo
cratic party has made some mistakes and
cannot be exonerated from all blame il
this respect, but the party that commit.
no errors is superhuman. CIVIC.
