| heating and in many and various
ways oil is finding such uses as
will require all that is produced at
reasonable prices to supply the
demand. In no respect are the OIL
producers being treated fairly.
Up in Warren and Forest coun
ties there is a pipe line owned by
John Ellis & company that pays
$3.50 per barrel for oil run
through this line to the refinery
owned by the same parties. Twen-
ty cents per barrel in these times
of strained conditions is a very
big item in expense account.
John Ellis & company are among
the oldest refiners in the trade.
The Pure Oil company and the
Standard Oil company with their
field quotations must be in high
ly prosperous condition If one
outside refner can afford to pay
it's patrons 20 cents more than
they for crude oil. 1t only shows
in part what portion OF the prof
it's must 60 to the refners. The
recent advance in prices by the
Shell company, the Standards
most formidable competitor in the
far Eastern markets, would de-
note a healthier condition Of af-
fairs or possibly an agreement as
to prices and territory, but 1t
must not be believe that any ben
efits will accrue to oil producers
here. Any arrangement abroad
would probably increase profits
very largely, but that would make
no difference in the export quota
ton humbug used as a basis to
adjust chalk marks for credit bal
ances. If it were not for the
Standard chalk marks it is safe
to say the Pure Oil company
would never know the price for
export oil. They seem to have no
means of acquiring knowledge
except through Standard chalk
marks, although they have their
stations abroad for the sale OF
their products. There is no en-
enlargement to actively engage in
drilling.
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-11-29

The price for oil is becoming
more and more difficult to work
under. Territory is too limited,
scarce and expensive to be profit
able at existing prices for Penn
sylvania crude. 1t seems strange
that so valuable a product as the
high grade oil produced from the
Pennsylvania fields should be
made to stand the competitive de-
preston of the inferior oils. Es-
pecially strange is it that Pennsyl-
vania oil must be sacrificed at a
price too low to be profitable to
any except the refiners or manu-
facturers and marketers. Produc-
ers keep on drilling, but each
month meets with poorer results
and less profit. There is nothing
to recommend an active campaign
of the drill and the price now be-
ing 80 cents per barrel lower than
it was one year ago makes it all
the more difficult to keep even
with the game. Admitting that
foreign competition is largely re-
sponsible for lower export prices,
the fact remains that Pennsyl-
vania oil absolutely divorced from
the inferior products will bring It's
value in home markets and that
value is known to be far in eX-
cess of present quotations for
crude. The export quotation is a
humbug. 1t means nothing except
to hoodwink the producers. Very
little Pennsylvania oil is now sold
for export. In nearly all domes.
tic markets Lima oil is made to
take the place and is forced onto
the trade to take the place OF
Pennsylvania oil. In every city
every hamlet and from every tank
wagon Lima oil is sold at from II
to 20 cents per gallon and even
higher in some localities. The
story of overproduction is hum
bug. The constantly growing de-
mand for oil is more than offset
ting the increase in production
Oil is now used in blacksmith
FORCES in place of coke and coal
Oil is now used in large steel and
iron manufacturing plants with

With the majority of our indus
tries in operation throughout the
city, and with bright prospects OF
new manufacturing plants beng
located her at no far distant day,
leads to the belief that this will be
a most prosperous Christmas IN
this section, and that business
will be better than it has for
MANY months past. At least that
is the way the merchants OF the
city are looking at the matter, and
they are now all busy making
preparations for the business
they expect to do.
Travelling men who have been
making Sistersville during the
past few weeks say the local mer-
chants here purchased heavier
this wear of holiday goods than
ever before. Merchants confirm
this statement and say that, al
though they would be satisfied II
their business during December
EQUALS that of last year, which
was the best in their history, they
expect this years business to ex-
coed that of last year. Corps OF
clerks are at present busily engag,
ed in the various business estab-
ishments with the work OF ar
ranging the holiday displays. The
openings will take place during
the next ten days. a noticeable
feature of the holiday buying IN
Sistersville, which becomes more
pronounced each year in our pro-
gressive little city, is a DISPOSE
ton on the part of shoppers to
make their purchases earlier. Buy,
ers appreciate the fact that the
early shopper gets the pick OF
unbroken lots, and has every adj
vantage over those who wait I'M
til the last week, when there is a
possibility that the merchant may
be out of the article they desire.
This is especially true with refer
ence to the toys for the children,
as the choice articles are very fire.
uuently sold, or soiled, when they
are first opened. Otherwise they
are not so desirable as when
clean and fresh.
Sistersville merchants expect to
find a disposition on the part OF
holiday purchasers to buy a much
better class of goods this year
than heretofore. A number of
the leading merchants were inter
viewed and all gave out the
same cheerful statements. With
one acclaim they say that the fall
business has exceeded that of pre-,
vious year, despite the fact that
this was election year. Election
did not seem to have any effect on
business, unless it was to make
it better than usual. The people
generally seemed to think the
election of Roosevelt and Fair.
banks was a fOregOne conclusion
and did not, therefore. anticipate
any change of administrative pol
icy of the government business in
terests. The laboring class OF
people, as a rule, moved along
also in the. even tenor of then
way just the same as if there was
no camDaipn.

Coroner Says Lot of Mock Heroes Will Get

Coroner OGoman. of The Bronx, is authority
for the statement that many of the persons who
are &c receive medals for heroic behavior in the
Slocum disaster do not deserve them. He says
that many real heroes were overlooked when the

not accept the medal which il is reported is TO be
presented to him. The giving Of the medals was
suggested by the coroner's jury which sat in the
Slocum inquest. and Coroner O'Gorman SAYS that il
would be absurd for him TO accept a medal under
such conditions.
The medals are to be given IN the % Bat

CHURCH FIGHT TO COURT.
attorney General 4cts an old " est

neen to begin action to test the title to office
of certain of the board of trustees of the West

Twenty third-st of which the Rev. DR.. John
Lloyd Lee is pastor. The applicant represents
one of the factions In the board which is seek
ing to gain control of the board to elect a treas
urer of its own selection and oversee the funds
of the church. The fact that the treasurership is
involved allows the Attorney General to inter-

NJ Linn Bruce said last night that the
suit of Attorney General Cunneen's permits
sion TO begin action would mean an immediate
airing OF the troubles of the trustees in the
courts and establish the right of the trustees
TO have charge of the disbursements of tho
church funds.
There has been trouble between the younger
members Of the board and the elder members
for about year. In May two Of the younger
members, Walter Findlay and Edmund
Johnson suspended by the session
communicates OF the church because of their
action regarding certain disbursements of the
treasurer The case was taken into the courts
and Justice Bischoff granted a temporary in
junction restraining them from acting mem
bers of the board. On June Justice Greenbaum
refused 10 make the injunction permanent, on
the ground that the differences of the board
could not be the subject of judicial review and
that the session had not legal power to begin
action in their own name or in that of the
church corporation
The trouble arose out of the payment of
tain moneys to the minister When the Rev.

previous year was offered to him. The two
trustees. Findlay and Johnson, maintained that
the original agreement had contained the
offer OF one-half the increase in pew rentals and
their persistent stand against the payment of
this sum by the treasurer and their criticism
of the music and other church matters led TO
their suspension by the session. the ground

laid a complaint before that body JohnsOn's
appeal was dismissed and Findlays complaint
refused.
