FBANKLIN, 6 20, 1873 Editors Homing Herald DEAR IMKS --Writing ncw-papei or- ticliy, jou will plainly (o is not my bat as I bare been largely interested in the production oi oil from the first commencement, and have aeen the ups and downs," and fuel thu step 18 taken by railroads and refiners to enslave the entire producing interest of the district, the serious thoughts and test energies of every man connected with the producing of oil, both great and email, which la my excuse for writing, and in your judgment it ehould be worth a place in your wide-tpread paper, you can give it one It seeini to me it will do no good to only go on and call this Combination bad But all huge that swmdlerp," wanting (not by all producers First commence by putting down no more new wellts shut down all weila that do not pay or only pay a tiiila above expenses, use torpedoes sparingly, and for the time bei ng use no artificial means of increasing production By this moans we shall get oat the earuo amount of oil, but requiring more ttmo Bud less expense for the present I feel fully satisfied that the companies with which I em connected have lost money by putting down wells too closely together, and have spent too much torpedoes While it may have increased tho product for the time being, it baa not compensated for the greit expense and damage to the market Cjuld the pro duotra only produce the oil that tbero is now produced they could get moro than double tho price, for there IB nothing that will compete with oil at a price below ten dollars per barrel at the wells, aod I think it la well understood there 18 but little profit below five dollars per barrel and when it is to $ii 50 and 1 00 there will be many ot the producers losing money I saw plainly some ago the wild manner in which old oper itor-i, as wi 11 as a portion of tho new, usod us cpLi itnccd ones, of which there are many, going on starting new wells on old and new territory and wild catting all over the country far some now district, and also using every artificial means for increasing ibe produot and which has had its i3uut on the producing interests, already, by reducing the price very mateiially, and this greU Combination is only hastening Some weeks I had decided foi myself, and several companies in which I im interested, that it would be Ily to itart mo wella, have not for some weeks et a now contrao. for I havo eeu interested, and shull not for the oix unless it may ba to move orai old pliyed out rig And now if all jrodncers will act ou this plan, wo will loon see tho production oft rapidly, and tho price advance irrespective ot this Cjmbination We muat reduce tho roduo ion if we expect remunerative irices, but will not bnug oil up till thode hat wunt oil see tho supply falling off Tho question is aeked on every ooruci what to be done to meat this great Combination. It eeerns plain to me tbia Combination cannot line without us, but can live without them Stiould it prove iffcusive, as is feared, all that will be necesatiry is te uhut in producing, get ouraulves to work in earuoat and an eligible route for a a to be peaboard At the same tmio appoint a committee of earnest men confer with tho refining interests oi this countrj, and alsj of Europe, which this Cjmbiua- oats off entirely, and raise tho money, not only to build aruilioad to the seaboard, to buy and hold the oil, while this is iQiug done This would be a Coinoma ion that would not only pay enormously the advance in oil, but the railroad would have the aupport of the entire oil producing interest, as well as the community at large, and would get an mmenae outudo traffic, and it la possible we can enlist some Railroad now in oper- net making it necessary to build to seaboard Yet there ia one point that always must be taken lato ooneideraiion, rbat the control of this road must be in he hands of tb.2 oil oducmg interests, and those whoeie mterebt is with them, so control oinnot be wrenched from Yours most respectfully, PUKMICE ted A New Ktiilroad Project "When it was announced that an arrangement had bean made between the Pennsylvania Central and the railroads, by which the latter was to at Irvine or "Warron, a meeting waa cilled at Jamestown, which resulted in the eloction of a delegation its business to visit Tituaville, and make preparations for a new railroad After the selection of this committee, it was found that mass meeting of dele- gatoa from all the oil regions a to meet at Tituaville thia (Tuesday) evening The Jamestown delegation arrived bere on Monday uttcrnoon, and while they would not lay one straw in the way of any propoaed outlet from the oil regions which may be thought desirable, they wish to their now project for the consideration of the meeting The points they make aro a follows 1 The proposed route Will be trom the A railroad at "Workabarg, three miltq east of Jamestown to James town, thenoe orosung the A at the that plank place rood south gap by to finest agricultural section in Western Haw York. 5 A charter for this road in Pennsylvania, with right to connect at ate line with a New Ycik road at the point iu- dioated, passed the Ponnaylvinn Leg i-ia- last year, aud it mx- tavorabiu id ust in i'i tc'iuf 0 rn ia a miuiufao Eg monied nea invci their capuni in and, like the oil producers, they have a vital pecuniary nterost in cheap freights and breaking Lowu railroad monopolies Bpea'al to the Herald at Tidioute riDie-wiK, Feb 20 toia Morning Herald Atan immense meeting of producers at Chrard hall to-night Olapp was oho- eu chairman, aud John Tonkin, Jr and feeler, Secretaries The greatest leterniination was manifest, and Tidioute means business The following preamble and resolutions were adopted unanimous- Whereas, It la understood that an or- ganisation has been formed and chartered if the legislature of the state of Pennsvl vama, ariug the name of the South Im- rovemeut Company, to control the entire il basinets of our section, and Whereas, We believe the aims and purees ol said organization to be deslruc- ive to our entire busmen inteiesta 'hoiefore be it Resolved, That wo producers and eiti- 9na of this section are fully determined devote our entire energies and means rom now on to defeat the machinations of ho South Improvement and hat we will leave no atone unturned and xhauBt all our resources to that end, oiid hat we pick up the gage of battle thrown by this gigantic monopoly, and will it out en that line li it takes all 'Uuimer Resolved, That we agree aud reoom inuud lu connection with the other pro iucera of the oil region to shut down our wells long as may be necessary to a thodisigns ot this monopoly Hesolvod, Th it our delegates to the M-ias Meeting uro hereby m- truoted to urge importance ot rompt and thorough ilion of the mtiro business interests of the entire oil egion A delegation of fifty is from here UIB HIBBllNO AT K1UE LitIF, PA Feb 20 HEHALD There waa a large tteudance and much enthuai ism at the liilroad meeting to night A committee as appointed consintiag of about twenty- ve prominent cttiyans, to attend the eetlug at Tltuavlllo to morrow night JAS Tub. fouud-i lou walla of the Nationa 1 Hotel, Oil i which burned short lime i and we understand Mr M.
