ABBOTSFORD OIL SYNDICATE PLANS THREE MORE WELLS First statutory meeting of the Tay- lor Oil Syndicate was held in Van- couver last Friday, when Messrs, Tre- thewey and Taylor, trustees, made a report of progress, Production of the syndicate's well averaged ,50-70 barrels daily, Mr. Taylor said, and suggested “shooting” the well with nitro-glycerin in a hope of increasing production. This plan was not favored jby the meeting until test cores had been drill- ed out to gauge the well foundation. The trustees were authorized to ex- ecute tentative agreements for drilling of three more wells on the syndicate’s leases, Since August 17 six carloads of oil have been shipped to the Imperial Oil Co,, at the price. of $1.65 per barrel at the well. The Syndicate demurred in a proposal to sign a term contract with | the Imperial Oil Co., which plans to build a pipe line to the field. Several dry holes have been sunk on the American side of the line, Mr, Tay- lor reported, American interests now planning to drill on the Canadian side.

On questioning the importer he was told that foreign wholesalers in China were primarily interested in selling goods to the Chinese and not to the foreigner. It is to the Chinese that the impor- ter must look for turnover, the mer- chant was told, and not to the for- eigner. - The native merchant has sim- ply taken advantage of his discounts in enormous quantities which the for- eigner has never been able to do. The foreign merchant has also been hurt by the fact that his own people are forsaking him. The British or American consumer, even in China, is not different from the average Chinese when it comes to buying. He goes where the price is cheapest, and of course gives every preference to his own coun- |. Another reason for the suc- cess of the Chinese retailer is the fact that he has learned through watching the foreigner the wisdom of advertis- in, ‘The fact remains, Mr. Editor, that we residents of the Fraser Valley, if we are not to slip into the sorry con- dition of Vancouver retailers, must be on the alert for introduction of Or- {ental retailers in our communities, if we are to keep up conditions favorable to the welfare of our own white people.
