CEYLON Soldieis' Memorial The London Advertiser recently pub- lished a long article ou the oil tjuestiuii in Grey County. The article is it the ptomjtion kind, and consists of big chunks of romance-. For instance it says : "A fartujr named Kwstedt, near Flebherton, discovered oil in the well from which he watered his stock. lie sent for Mr. Finch to come from Brant- ford and txaQMne into the cotiditiou. There were rumors in , the neighborhood ot it being a well poiaouing plot. On Mr. Finch's anival 01 gallons of cleir amber colored o'l was pumped out of lbs well. It was of such quality that it was successfully burned in lamps by people uf the neighborhood. Numerous nut- c:oppings were fouud when a survey cf the region was made. - There are place.", t is said, where snow this winter lay like butter from oil sutuiation." There is sutticient truth iu the above to make it a readable article, and the whole column and a half makes reiy interesting reiding to ereryfei-dy hero. We hope with all nur heart that the optimistic views expressed in this article may be faliy justided, and that the following item culled from the articU will be uo idle dream. The Advertiser says : '•Flesherton, Grey Couny, la liable to burst into world fame by April 15 as the place whtu's oil, as rich as the Rumanian article, was discovered. The roasisr driller of Canadian Oil Fields, Limited, has every ho(ie that in thai time ha will h kv* opanad a "gusher " oi the Lever farm in that vicinity.
