West Virginia daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1894-1902, 1902-07-21
The South Penn Oil company

have purchased the leases and pro-
duction of the Hartman Oil com.
pany In West Virginia. There Is
about 90 wells and 500 barrels daily
production and some undeveloped
leases. The price for the leases and
production Is about 100000. The
recent purchases of producing prop
critics by the Carter and South Penn
branches of the Standard OIL com.
pany Is not an entirely new depar-
ture although their policy hereto
fore has been to drill for their pro
duction. The scarcity of territory
may have something to do with
the policy of purchasing. To drill
new and large daily average pro-
duction requires more and better
territory than Is In sight. BY the
purchase of producing properties
the Standard rot only help to main
tain their daily average bat they
keep their alleged rivals, the Pure
OIL company limited as to their fu'
ture supply:
The pipe lines of the Pure OIL
company, except for temporary per-
iods, gnever handled over limited
amount of production and this lim-
ited amount was kept at approx
mately the same amount by the
Standards policy of purchasing
properties off their lines. By Its
contracts with certain producers
and it's recent purchases of proper
ties the Pure Oil company have
strengthened their position but
Just how far their strength may ex'
tend will depend on the aggressive
ness of the Standard companies.
By restricting the amount of pro-
ductiou to be secured by the Pure
Oil company ard driving them
from pillar to post SO to speak, the
Standard compel thl m to invest
vast sums In the extension of their
nine lines and In no district Is
there prospect of holding produc-
ton by drilling. The price for oil
Is by both the purchasers of crude
kept too low. If by arrangements
there is a sort of pot-pouri of inter-
ests between the Standarn and
Pare Oil company 1t makes little diff
erence who Is the purchaser. Like
the puackase of credit balances, the
price per barrel for oil production
seems 6ved at about the same figure
by the purchasers, namely, $1,000
per barrel. With existing condi.
tions the price Is none too high and
ills doubtful If fanny producing prop
erty sold today can be replaced for
the same money. The oil produc-
ers are gradually being rounded
UP" aud tie time is not far distant
when the Standard OIL company
instead of controlling IS per cent
of the Pennsylvania production as
they are now supposed to control
will have 1t all Is of value except
perhaps the properties of the larger
stockholders OF the Pure Oil COM
pany and even they may have their
price.

CEDAR M. E. CHURCH
Handsome New Structure De(
Gated Free of Debt.

The Methodist people of Cedal
seemed to have beenvery unfortunate
respecting the weather. Twice the
dedication of the new church was de-
ferred on account o. the excessive
rain, and the services on the Sabbath
were very much affected from the
same cause. However, the audience
room was we'll filed at the hour of
morning preaching, and after the
sermon. by DIR. Hancher, of MT. Pleas
ant, a report was made as to the
financial condition of the enterprise,
and the report showed that the church
including the furniture, furnace and
bell cost SIS ,573 55. OF this there re-
NAMED due on the contract 1,s51 80,
and subscriptions were taken to cover
this amount. During the effort the
threatening storm disturbed the audi
ence, and the matter was laid over
until the afternoon service, and final
ly completed in the evening, when
the church was dedicated in due form.
DR.. Hancher was assisted in the SER
vices by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Gill
bert and the Presiding Elder Rev. j.
W. Lambert. Rev. E. II Waring, of
this city, was also present, he having
dedicated the old church September
%, 1870, of which he made a state
ment in an address delivered in the
afternoon. The church reflects great
credit upon those who have promoted
the enterprise. 1t Is substantially
built in modern style with COM
modious basement and lecture room.
The windows, several of which are
memorial windows, are excellent in
design and finish, especially the two
principal windows in the audience
room. The frescoing and painting is
tasteful and well designed, and the
whole building constitutes one of the
neatest and most complete of country
churches anywhere around.
