SEWARDITES ORGANIZE
HOLDING OIL COMPANY
The formation of an oil land holdinj
company, backed by citizens who wil
advance capital, and by land owner
who will permit of the grouping o
land, was started recently at a meei
ing held at Seward. The meeting als
brought forth the fact that difference
should be buried, and that a unite
front of Sewardites and those in cor
tiguous territory should be firmly
welded. Pledges were made as to
subscription of funds and as to group
ing of land, the owners to also pay
their per cent in the development
work to ascertain the location of oil,
and then the combined efforts of all
be exerted to secure drilling compa
nies.
Seward and the territory adjacent
were not the only districts to be bene
fitfied by the action to be taken, but
all oil land to the westward will come
in for the aid to be extended.
The meeting was called to order by
Senator L. V. Ray, who stated the
object, namely, the formation of a
holding company to secure all avail
able land in the valley north of Sew
ard as a guarantee to interested par
ties to bring drills and search for oil.
It is necessary to secure the land so
that large companies can deal with
one party for thousands of acres in a
legitimate manner, and not be charged
extortionate rates for drilling.—Sew
ard Gateway.
