W. R. BLAIN ON OIL MATTERS.
Editor Democrat: Yesterday a
man accused me of getting a "rake
off" for keeping still about the doings
of the Valley Oil Co., so I am asking
space for a protest. I would like to
use your whole paper so the good
people could thoroughly understand
the situation. I protest against the
board of directors having as much
power as the by-laws allow them in
handling the funds of the Co. I pro
test against recognizing the election
of the board of directors when 30 al
leged proxy ballots were cast when
not a proxy was recorded with the
secretary and were not in any way in
evidence. I protest against the esorit
dc corps of the Co. When the stock
j subscription papers were handed out,
I suggested the advisability of secur
j ing the co-operation of and the sub
! scriptions of the bankers, capitalists
and solid men of wealth, so as to give
the company a financial rating, and
' character. When some one growled
back at me: "Xow, we don't want
such men, they are too conservative.
just a step from fogyfsm." I protest
against auvertising mat oil mvestiga
tions are to be made in "THIS sec
tion" and getting Albany money on
such pretense when the whole trend
of the history of the board and their
cruising show that they intend oper
ating ucr in ine rorKS.
According to an evening paper
some $300.00 has been raised, and the
same article says: "The board 'em
ployed an oil expert " I have too
good an opinion of that board to be
lieve that they did it. Here is the
proposition: The esprit has a
trinket that he says infallibly locates
oil deposits. He peddles out its in
formation for a few dollars per day.
Such a machine, if genuine, is well
worth a million a day. Do you be
lieve he is an expert?
i I understand a bier hunk of the
$300.00 raised was spent in locating
on in territory wncre 11 is geoiogicai
: ly impossible for it to exist. I pro
test against spending other people's
money for such foolishness. I pro
test against the $2500 rake-off
of stock by the organizers of the Co.
I believe if the matter ever comes
into court the judge will decide the
deal fraudulent and the share holders
would be stuck for the whole $2500.
i The paper says "the directors are
highly pleased." that is a hot one.
40 per cent of stockholders not pay-
ing sunscriptions ot it.: tfJUO on hand
to tackle a wild-cat scheme requiring
at least $25,000.00. Highly pleased!
If you are raising money to pro
mote a distant scheme, say so. Give
the people a square deal. If you are
going to investigate oil possibilities
within five miles of Albany, say so.
He clear and definite so subscribers
will know what they are paying for.
I protest against .the whole present
regime, and as the pioneer mover ask
for a board of . directors of well
known, representative, sensible, weal
thy business men who can investigate
the oil, gas and artesian water possi
bilities within five miles nf Albany in
an intelligent and dependable manner.
Yours for a Square Deal.
