THE TEST OIL
WELL DISPUTE
Company Files Answer and
Counter Complaint.

The Downingville Oil and Gas Com
pany, who. we're recently sued by
Spiecher & 90, for $500 alleged to be
due for drilling a prospect well on the
east side 600 feet deep, filed their
answer and cross-complaint today.
The company deny that the drillers
performed the conditions of the con-
tract; that they did not drill to Mis-
sissippi lime rock; did not make test
hole Of the well, and did not drill to a
sufficient depth to case Off the flow of
artesian water,
The company paid the contractors
$500 on accout, believing that they
would complete the well. They ask
judgment for the $500 and for $3.50 by
reason Of being stuck with S7OO worth
Of casing that is now rated Of only
half that value as being secondhand.
In the answer the company assert
that the contractors have left the
well in such a shape that it is impos-
sible to secure another outfit to 90 on
with the work

their present quarters.
A great advantage in arranging
the cages is that petty offenders

there is no method to punish any one
prisoner especially. If the jailer ord

sible to prevent this.
The stairway to the basement leads
from the main hallway as does the

locked up, however, at the usual hour
at night.
The entire building is to be pro-
fusely lighted with electricity and
buttons are arranged so that any cell
or room can be flooded with light or

FIRST STEP FOR
CANADIAN PACT
The Dominion Government Is Ap-
preached as to Joint High
=, Commission Meeting.
Special to The Journal.


Ottawa, Can, Dec. 8.-The Canadian
government has been approached infor-
mally on the subject of an early meet
ing Of the joint high commission. The
advance is understood to have been
made by: Senator Fairbanks, one of the
American members Of the commission,
and probably at the suggestion OF the
president himself. Sir, Wilfrid Lau-
rier, the Canadian premier, is now in
of this report can be obtained, but it
may be confidently stated that Mr..
Laurier will agree. Now that the Alas
kan boundary is removed from the
field of controversy, reciprocity remains
the only question Of prime Importance
to be considered by the commission.
Mr.. Laurier's views on reciprocity re-
main unchanged. If Washington sug-
gests it, he is ready and willing to
discuss closer trade relations, but with
the, distinct understanding that reel
procity must be confined to natural
products. 49, - ,
The dominant factors in the political
situation here are Laurler, Fielding,
minister of finance, and Sifton, who rep
resents the interests Of western Canada
in, the Dominion cabinet. The threeeare

unrestricted reel procity if possible with
out injury to Canadian industries. But
the latter could. not at present stand
the keen competition of American manu-
facturers in Canadian markets. -.,.-
In natural, products the situation is
entirely. different. Both Canada and
the United States would have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose from
reciprocity in natural products. Cana.
da needs many natural products of the
United States and the latter needs
many of Canada and in some, notably
wheat, pulpwood and Nickel. its. de
tendencies upon Canada must in
crease rapidly as years go by.
