Seattle, July 3. 1888.
To the Editor: In today's issue OF the
PoSt-Inteligenoer there is an editorial
concerning the refusal OF the town of Kent
to grant a power company right-of-way
over It's streets. In that editorial the fol-
lowing language Is used: Kent hesiiated
and placed so many conditions upon It
0he company seeking the franchise) that
the company went by the town entire
~. What the council OF Kent
really wanted to do was to protect the
people from extortion and to keep them
out OF the dreaded nav OF a corporation
That was well meant, but the purpose Is
not accomplished by piiing up conditions
and imposing taxes"
The facts are that there was but one re-
ouirement insisted upon by the council OF
the towns.of Kens. which the person seek
ing the franchise was not willing to ar
cept That was that the power company
should not charge any greater sum for
power furnished the town of Kent than II
charged for a like quantity of power fur
nished In either the city OF Seattle or the
city Of Tacoma.
Not only did the person seeking the
franchise refuse TO accept an ordinance
containing this provision. but refused TO
accep; an ordinance which In any manner
whatsoever fixed. or attempted to fix. or
regulate the price which the power COM
pany should charge for power furnished
within the town.
The explanation OF why this just and
reasonable requirement OF the council OF
the town of Kent should be considered 50
onerous that the power company could not
bear up under II must be left To the Off
GERS OF the power company and the writer
cf the editorial At all events. the town
council OF Kent did not seek TO pile up"
conditions TO such an extent as the edi-
torial writer would have the readers Of
your paper infer.
Your editorial further states that ~
would be folly 20 throw away an oppor-
tuniiy TO get power at a moderate price,
because at that price the company supply
ing il might make some money" This 10
a se.f-evident truth; but does the writer
OF the editorial know what the moderate
price Is AZ which this particular electrical
power company proposes 70 furnish power?
II not, let him investigate. and his ideas
will probably undergo a change In some
respects JOHN G., BARNES.

Sistersville oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1896-1901, 1898-11-09

still lead ali petroleum markets by
continuing to pay $I.25 per barrel
for credit balances, seven cents
above the Standard Oil company's
price. Will the Standard Oil COM
pany ever come out of their pipe
dream? The halucinat:on seeming
to exist in their minds relative TO
the value of crude can only be ac-
counted for by their evident deter
mination to ignore the "pfice justi-
fed in the markets of the world"
The trade have at last discovered
what fallacy "the markets of the
world" have become in governing
the price for their credit balances.
They know now that the Standard
Oil company are "the markets of
the world"
The good old law of supply and
demand may be monkeyed with
for time, but in the end it will
assert itself monarch over all
arch conspirators who may seek to
destroy its prestige.
Nearly six months of sixty-hve
cent oil and a continual pilfering
from the producers have aroused
such feeling of indignation and
determination among their ranks as
never before existed.
Seven cents per barrel above the
price paid by the Standard Oil COM
pany is an item in the financial
affairs of the producers connected
with the Producers and Rehners
line, which enables them to throw
a few bouquets at themselves.

anne is Maud!'
will be watched with interest by
some of our Sistersville boys.
Elk Run, Washington county,
Ohio, has one more we'll added to
her list. The Carter Oil company
is doing considerable work in that
section in the neighborhood of the
Cox we'll and expect to drill several
wells right away.
JACKSON RIDGE.
The S. M. Covert farm, at Jack
sons ridge, consists of about 100
acres, and is thought to be one of
the best situated tracts of land in
that section, according to present
outlook. 1t is held by three leases,
owned by Galey's, Barnesdall & Co.
and the Fisher Oil company. Ca
ley's have sold their lease, but the
purchasers are as yet unknown.
The latest we'll to come in out
there is on that tract and is report.
ed good for g. barrels.
Barnsdall has the second lease on
! that farm, which is said to be good
for 100 barrels or upward. This is
the best we'll on the ridge, and was
drilled in last week.
Four locations have been made
on the Covert farm by the different
companies holding the leases, and
wells will be put down there right
away. There are now seven wells
drilled in on that farm.
Locations have been made on the
George Marble and D. S. Devore
On down the ridge from Cvert's.
Galey's Chas. Marble No. I was
drilled in last Thursday and is a
good we'll.
A we'll on the Widow MARBLES
farm is due in the sand.
Joe MARBLE No. I. alongside the
above named we'll, has been in three
or four weeks and is still good for
80 barrels a day.
Barnsdall's Steed No IS spud-
ding. No. I was drilled in week
or so ago and is very light we'll.
1t is farthest to the west in the field
and supposedly an edge we'll.
Fishers Hawkins No. I was
drilled in last Teusday and is good
we'll. A shot was put in Saturday
with good results.
Mooney & Co. 'sWinland is de-
layed by collapse of 81 casing.
Fishers have started drilling at
their John Dearth No. 1, some dis
lance south of developments. An
other company has we'll due in
the sand on the same farm.
The Central Gas company's
Leonard Jackson we'll was drilled
in last week and is good gas we'll.
Galeys drilled in light gasser
Robert Jackson last week. Their
old we'll on A. R. Jackson, drilled
in several years ago, is still making
E or 7 barrels a day.
Galeys have sold several. of their
leases on Jackson's ridge with the
property thereon. One lot of sew
eral farms went for So, 900 and an
other for about $1,000. Purchasers
unknown,
The Standard Oil company is
said to be leasing up vast blocks of
land east and west of the present
field,
