Every one winhea to tee the matter tested, and wihet for their neighbor to help but too many of them are willing to let the test be made at the expense of the neighbor and hoping that they will, themselves, be overlooked, , "Scrfifth mortals exist in all communi ties, and the committee realize! that there are tome who never do help out in any tort of project or enterprise, and who never will, and that we have no more of them than any other community. These perwne may be overlooked in this instance, but there are, even yet, a large number who are expected to do their share, and if they fail, the proposi tion and all hope of reward fall to the ground. ' ": "In the East, where oil ia found, the owners are glad to have the scope of the benefit exploited, and lease their lamia without urging. The leasee we have gotten up in this behalf, follow the custom and tenor of thoee current in the oil regions of the country; and if oil or -gas is found; the Owner of the land, without injuring bit property in any 'way, without taking one cent from rta value, without affecting the title to it, ia in a position to reap aharvest of dollara far in excess of any other means of increment, and that without the risk of a single dollar he already possesses; and be still has his fern, bis stock and his crops; The drilling for oil and gas. and the removal of it from his bind, takes, but paltry fraction of space at best and interferoes in no way with the ordinary work and processes of the farm. ; "Suppose, for instance, an oil well should be discovered on the farm, or ranch, of one Smith, that would pro duce 50 barrels of oil per day. Accord' ing to the terms of our lease Smith would receive oue-terrth of this after it is sold. Tow would bring him six dollars and a half per day, and from $180, to $200. every month, without hia risking one paltry dollar, with his place still uninjured; and he might have half a dozen wells going at the same time if he saw fit. . "Or say that a medium sized gaa well is opened up. Sav it produces only 3 000.000 feet of gas a day, (and this would be a very small well, mind vou) it would brins him in eight dollars and a half day and take up perhaps five ieet square of his (farm. The gas would be sold in this city for 80 cents ner thousand feet and the question of fuel for the city would be settled for all time. "In Beaumoont, Texas, after oil has been discovered, land values sprang from ten dollars to thousands of dollars ner acre; and we hold in view of all this, that it is tworth our while to go ahead and make the test. The committee is enthusiastic, but we are not going to attempt to raise the subscription to the capital stock of the Astoria Fuel Com pany if we cannot get a fair proportion of leases on the idle lands. We are not exerting ourselves just now. If the land owncra wish to aee thla thing work ed out, it is up to them to do their share. 1 One Piano Ticket with Each $5.00 Sale to Wise Customers - " s'gs - -". .. . - j 'I I il !
