','apt. .Seoord was atked to slmw in whit way Owen Sound would bcnttit by the discovery of oil iu large (luantitieb ut Fleiherton. He said he wai a 8tock holder and a director in the company but was net a |>:iid odicer. He eariie»liy believed lliat the proposi- tion meant a yieat deal t<i Canada and lo Owen Sound. He l)elieved that the re urns from iho Flesherioii oil KeIdH would go f'lrthei' to pay I he national debt than all the pow^r developed ou the St liawrence would. At [jitsent only one per cent- of the ^a.soline uset' ill Cauida wa.s produced here, the reel beins imporU-d. Today tlOO.ODO.OOO goes out of the country each year for oil and yasiiline. More waa Hpent in Canada ua gasoline than ou coal. Speaking of thij benifit Owen Sound would receive should his expcctationa become realities. Capt. Seord said that Owen Sound had a wonderful harbor. I', was the last to freeTie up in the winter and the tirat to be open in the spring. It would make an ideal tt-rminus for s pipe line, and it wa9 not wiihout the bounds of reaaon that a reliiiery might be located here. Cheap oil niemt cheap power and houiei would be heated and mual.stooked with the cheap oil. He told of how to become connected with the company aril so sure was hC of the .sticcasa of llio field H.s an oil producer thai ho had lar^e'y increased Ins original holding of stock on two occaaion.i. lie had »een the well Kever.il trues nnd hnr tested llin u«s, Il had biirned liii!»litly and waa of .such purity as coull only euiiie from oil. Ho liul ii'hiled II r.nd lud not been incon- venicnced. Giia other than oil would be verv aickenii.t.'. He had tuliuiitied (â- ainples to a Jirilish expert mid the tutor lud pronouiic id siroii^ly his hel ef thai the lield was a rich oiio aiil advised every stock huli'er to incieaso liie amount of lo.s StOCt. Mr. M. A. Oough, secretary treasurer ot the c.'iiip\iiy, was the last speaker and he went into ilie hijioiy of ihe company. Ho was ipiite positive in his belief in the wonderful poasibilitieu of \\\q tiehl nnd expected that the oil when struck would Miak« the well one i.'f the ureatesi in the continMit. It was an ideal situation, nnd there was little doubt but that tba oil lields of I'ctrolia and district were fid frnin the height of land around Flrshor- ton. He explained Iho aLtimdo of Toronto Saturday Niijht. Thxt paj er h.id called liiin up and asked fur a stateni.>nt and ho had oiiered to iipen the bnoks III any repreaentativo of the paper, aiu' Hhkcil ulso thai thn paper wou'd ei'her send an oil expeit to the well or secure tlio best '.hat could be hail, and the company wi uKl p:iy for an exauiina tiun of tlio well, and if things wore not found 1 1 be promising, the paper wouKl be at liberty to knnek jill it wanted to. " Satjiday Ni^ht " did not, accept the ollrtr but in I ho next issue appeared a very Hovere ciiiicisin of the company without any investitjatioi.. The Inst two speakeis werp particularly ciiivincinn. They evidently, as well as Mr. Finch, believe that thero ii ml in larf^e luanlitiea where they nrn diilliiiK and hope to to.'iire one of the wonder wells of America when they get down a little lartlier and shoot the well. Mr. •John Mc<.,)uaker said he was proliably the only stockholder iu iho company who resided in Owen So«iid, nnd told of how he ciline to bo interested. He had mat Mr. Fiiich when the latter was fire chiaf at Sliaitord and later when the oil com- pany had been Hotted he had beau approached and had purchised aome stook. 7'beie are many people who beliete that oil in Urge i|uaiilities lies under the l-»nd of Grey County and there is ei^eiy rctsou to believe that the ((uesiion vill he decided one way or Ihe othei within a few months. Oil in Fleseerton would mean a wonderful boom for Owen Sound aad here'a hoping I li.^t the greaiett oil ! wells in .'\nicrica will be brj'rd there.
