will come in. Railroad extension is
one of the most important features of
the whole business as GAINESVILLE has
been much handicapped for many years
by lack Of adequate train service.
1t is not necessary, we presume to
say that GAINESVILLE offers a hearty well
come to this company. They are in
dividually as pleasant set of fellows
as you ever met, and are up to date
business men. Fortunate indeed is the
city that can attract the attention and
interest of men of such large affairs.
And this welcome and hearty good will
is extended not only to the Keystone
Oil and gas company, but also to any
other company or companies that may
want to engage in any legitimate busi-
ness enterprise in our midst.
The two other companies, Messrs A..
D. Morton, of Bartlesville, Okla, and
the Hart Bros, Of Coffeyville, Kans.,
who are working to secure leases in
this vicinity, report progress and are
hopeful of getting enough land blocked
up,to justify them in beginning work
soon, certainly not later than spring.
If they are successful in getting enough
land and we hope they will be, three
companies will be working the field in
stead of one. Let them come, the
more the better. The more operators
we can get in this field the easier it
will be to get pipe line, and the sooner
we will get better railroad facilities.
Since the above was put in type Mr..
Fred Morch, Of Warren, Pa, has arrived
and we are told us that he represents
an eastern oil company and will try to
lease enough land to justify them in
putting down some wells. The COM
paay is said to be very strong one and
thoroughly reliable in every way.
