OIL TERCENTENARY
CELEBRATION HELD
Monument Unveiled on Spot
Where Liquid Fuel Was
Discovered.
tlif AsfOfiatPd Pres*.
CUBA. N. Y.. July 25.—The tribute
of a child. grown to vigorous man
hood. to Its parents was paid her* to
day by the oil industry of America to
the obscure Woodland Spring, whete
SOO years ago a white man first found
oil on th* North American continent,
and to the site of tho first 0.l wod
drilled In America. .
Under the shadow of the lugh
wooded hillside, on lands forever l*e
longing to the Indian race, representa
tives of the petroleum industries joined
with those of the State of New York,
to witness the unveiling of a ler
centenary monument at the side of
the »prln|f and the well, Repeat ing in
a measure the history of three cen
turies ago. when Father Joseph IX* I.a
Koche D'AHlon. a Franciscan mis
sionary and explorer, was guided to
the spot by Indians, members of the
two original groups again today stood
together on the site.
Although the exercises dralt chiefly
with the past. Robert I*. Welch, of
New York City, secretary and general
counsel of the American Petroleum
Institute. In his address ventured
predictions as to th* future of the
Industry, which saw its birth just
outside of this village. j
An Optimist on Oil.
•‘Put me down as an optimist as ;
to tho future of this great industry.”
Mr. Welch said, ‘‘as a believer that
it* practical men will solve Us prob
lems. and that this industry, despite
th* fears of some, will not drift into
the Ismentable condition of Its sister
business. the coal industry.”
diving a hint of the possibilities In
the use of the gases to lift oil from
Its underground storehouse, Mr. Welch
continued:
“The overwhelming fact of the pres
ent situation is not that we have a
great over-production of oil. as serious
as that is. It is not even that our
proUem is the restriction of produc
tion. It is that the industry shall
make practicable and useable that
which Is already known by many rela
tive to the use of gas in the lifting
of oil.
"If the \*ast knowledge already ac
cumulated should be added to. If neoes
sarv. and given practical application,
there is every reason to anticipate
that, whatever may be the disadvan
tages of the new practices, which
seem sure to come, the tremendous
fluctuations in the supply will fade
from the petroleum picture and with
them the violent and, to many, inex
plicable rise and fall of prices. Fur
ther. our potential resources will be
vastly increased and both our produc
tion and our market greatly extend
ed."
"The petroleum industry also is
working out” Mr. Welch added, "some ;
means to bring about public realiza
tion that the industry is as democratic
as the Federal Government, and that
the public who eoropose that Govern
ment are entitled to every pertinent
fact, opinion or judgment before any
thing revolutionary shall be done af
fecting the interests of the producer
or the consumer, or the national de
fens* and the national security."
Other Speakers.
Other speakers were representatives
of the Seneca Indian Nation—Theo
dore F. Jemerson, jr., of Brant, N. Y.,
and of the Franciscan order—the Rev.
Bonaventure Mclntyre of the Francis
can Monastery at Winsted, Conn.
Each called attention to the history of
his respective group. A Seneca In
dian war dance concluded the cere
mony, which had been interrupted
just after the unveiling of the monu
ment by a downpour of rain. This
necessitated moving the exercises into
-m nearby pavilion.
The program was under the aus
pices of the New York State Oil Pro
ducers’ Association.

any remedy at all it was in the law
