ATTENTION
OF the Standard Oil
Co.
Has Been Attacted to the Lodi
Oil Field.

The attention of oil experts and re-
tiners has finally been drawn to the
Lodi field with the result that the
Standard Oil Co., is very anxious to Sc
cure the entire output of the wells,
says the Wooster Republican. A
gentleman who came down from Lodi
on Friday evening informs us that the
Standard is now engaged in pumping
oil from tanks into cars as fast as pos
sible. How long this will last he could
not say but he was of the opinion that
the great trust would not be able to Sc
cure monopoly of the field 1t seems
that Akron capitalists and several
Wooster parties have organized a com
pany and contracted for the erection
of refinery at Lodi which is to be
established at once on land near the
b. a. o. and w. & L. II. depots. The
statement Is made that the oil is by
far the best that has been found in
Ohio.
Drillingf still continues and four
wells will be drilled into the pay
sand on Tuesday. Fl. B. Odenkirk
on Saturday morning stated that
about 1000 barrels of oil had been
sold during the week.
