Contractor George Wolfe, Geo.
Morrison, general superintendent
of the Mutual OIL company, and
Rev. II. B. Bowden have leased
the land of the Bailey heirs, Of New
York Oily and have located a we'll
about the centre of the tract. The
land Is located near Raven Rock
and contains S24 acres In all, and
the above gentlemen have a lease
on ga acres. A Plttsburg oil com
pany have the remaining 200 acres
and will drill a number of wells on
the same at once. The land has
never been operated for oil, but is
considered to be valuable oil terri
tory by experienced oil men.
There Is no place In the world
that has been so Systematically
looted as the oil region. Rockefel-
Ter and his band of commercial
buccaneers who were sufficiently
astute to recognize the great posi-
bIlllies of petroleum have, by meth
DDS characteristic of themselves,
succeeded In plundering the oil re-
gious as no section of the world
was ever plundered. The fault Is
with the oil producers. Had they
been able to see an inch ahead of
their nose and put themselves In
position to have transported and
refined their own product
the wealth that has gone into
the Golfers of a few pirates
would have been distributed
among the owners of oil production
instead of being the most subser.
Went, the people of the oil region
would have been the most indie
pendent. Instead of being the
slaves of one man, working with
might and main that he may be
further enriched, the oil producers
could have had the world at their
feet. Lack of foresight, lack of
confidence In each other suscepti-
bility to bribery and failure to or
GAME has caused the oil region to
become what 1t Is and the oil pro-
ducers to become the tools of the
greatest set of pirates and stock
gamblers the world has known.
Education seems slow, but there
Is evidencesthat the arbitrary prices
and methods of the Standard are
teaching Dan O'Day's bumpers to
act for themselves. Should 1t be-
come possible that they suddenly
awake from their long Rip Van
Winkle-like-trance and decide that
they will share In some of the
profits besides their meagre allow
ance from their production, the con-
dltion of the oil regions will be
made materially better. The Stan
dard OIL company, fix prices for
high grade oil much below the value
and this fact seems to be arousing
the producers to action. Once get
away from absolute subserviency
to the pirates of the Standard Oil
company, aud decide to produce
