OH at the Buckeye.

The Buckeye oil-salt well is flow
ing considerable quantity of oil.
1t will be remembered that this
well has been showing strong signs
of a paying quantity of oil for
long time. 1t has been "shot'
twice with nitroglycerine, once
year ago and once few weeks ago.
Since the last shooting it has never
been gotten in proper condition
until yesterday, when an inch pipe
was connected with a larger one
near the bottom of the well and the
heavy volume of water was shut off
above. When this was done there
was sufficient gas pressure to force
out stream of oil and water. Ar
rangements have not been COM
pleted to separate the oil and water,
but it is believed that there will be
enough oil to pay. Developments
here will be watched with interest.

must be taken to discuss every phase
of it carefully and adopt some plan to
remedy the trouble which exists in the
province of Manitoba
The school question is an old and a
sore one, and involves the bitterest kind
of feeling-a feeling that ranges from
the highest places down to the humblest
home in Winnipeg. Supported by the
state, the parochial schools of the Catho-
lies in Manitoba have been thorn in the
side of the Orange party in Canada, and
Of even the A. 2. A. party in the United
States. The bill that will precipitate
one of the fercest debates ever heard in
the dominion's halls of legislation pro-
vides generously for the rehabilitation of
the parochial school system in Manitoba.
Long before the confederation Roman
Catholic minorities i'll the provinces set
tied by the British, and the Roman Cath
Ollie majority in Quebec, have stood
stoutly for separately maintained schools
and have demanded national recognition
in that respect. Special provisions were
made in the British North America act
qualifying the right of the provinces to
make laws governing education One
of these reads as follows: Nothing in
any such law shall prejudicialIy affect
any right or privilege with respect to
UNCONVENTIONAL schools which any class
of persons have by law in the province

By it's action last night in refusing to
grant a franchise for the extension of

the council has widened the breach be-

MED by the negative vote of the mayor
with 4 lengthy explanation speech. The
action is denounced by the whole of the
west side and is further characterized as
an attempt of the stockholders of the
east side road to drive Mr. Mccartney
into selling to the other company at its
terms Or doing business under impos-
sible conditions. 1t is q long time since
there has been such intense excitement
in the city over any matter.
