| OIL Producers Want to See OIL Pumped Be
fore They Pin Their Faith on the New
| venture-No Big Wells Were Reported
| Yesterday.
| There was considerable talk yesterday
among the Oil mon regarding the new pipe
line to the seaboard which is to be known as
the United States Pipe Line Company. The
names of the officers who were elected at q
| meeting of the stockholders held In Brad
ford Wednesday and the probable future of
| the organization were the ge neral topics Of
| conversation.
1t was conceded by the majority that
the organization has business look at
present, but until it begins to pipe Oil there
will be many skeptics among even the
| friends of the stockholders as to the final
outcome of the venture.
There have been so many attempts of pro-
ducers In the past to build seaboard pipe
pleteiy, that even now there are scores OF
producers who want to see the petroleum
going through before they can believe that
an independent pipe line can be built.
full details of the new line. One line is to
be constructed from the Mcdonald field to
the refineries around Titusville, and from
Titusville two1ines will he laid to Bradford
and from thence through the Northern tier
counties to Newberg on the Hudson river
There Will be two lines put Gown side by
of petroleum, and the other for disttllate
which is partially refined Oil.
After reaching the seaboard the distillate
will be put through q simple process which
will convert it into thoroughly refined oil,
and it will then be ready for shipment to
any port
Robert Roy who is interested in the new
line. said that the cost of fuel in the oil re-
g1ons was so much less than on the sea-
board, that they could thus afford to put
down the line for distillate and save railroad
charges by piping it to the ocean vessels.
