CANADIAN
PARLIAMENT
in SESSION

OTTAWA, Ont, March lO.-Parlia-
ment opened this afternoon with the
usual ceremonies. The session promises
to be lively one, as it is generally be-
lieved it will be the last before the
general election.
The opposition may find it expedient
for the education of the electorate to
force general and exhaustive dis
cussion of the entire fiscal policy of the
administration-which might prolong
the session for many weeks. 1t is
regarded as possibility also that re-
ciprocity and interimperial trade may
come up, in connection with the tariff
The premier's suggestion, towards the
close of the last session, that Canada
should be granted the treaty making
power, may also very possibly be dis
cussed.
The question of inducing Newfound-
land TO enter the confederation has
been good deal before the country
OF late and may be taken up at the
present session.
The acquisition of Greenland, and
st. Pierre and Miquolon may also come
before parliament for discussion.

IHE OIL WORLD /

with the advent of the perforator,
Spndletop promises to hold its own
for some time to come as an oil
producing point. Within the last few
DAYS number of old wells have been
placed back in the producing class,
and a great many more are expected
to follow as soon as they can be
reached.
1t has been the practice of practic-
ally all the small companies. and in
some instances the larger ones, to
clean out and drill deeper as long as
the well could be made to pay, ana
then pull the casing. This has been
going on for some time, and for that
reason there are great many holes
that can never be reclaimed. Per
forating has been going on only a
short time, but number of fairly
good wells have been brought in, and
the cases are extremely rare where it
has proved an absolute failure. The
wells are usually plugged at the bot
tom of the siX-inch casing, and the
Iperforating carried on up until a pay
sand is found In case water or mud
runs in, the well is plugged higher up,
and the periOratng continued.
There are very few of the COM
panies who have complete and reli-
able log of their wells, and for that
reason a great deal of unnecessary
perfOrating has to be done to ind the
oil stratas. Most of the drilling was
done in the rush period of the gusher
days, and very little attention was
paid anything short of Il blowout.
Even where an effort was made to
keep log, the cases where they were
found correct are very rare. This is
probably the first oil field in the world
where the drill was sent to the bot
tom anu then back up, but Spidnletop
has presented many curious things.
and nothing should be thought of
them drilling backwards.
Another peculiar condition found by
the perforators is that they have
found the shallow sands at widely
different depths, and the information
gained on one well is invariably
worthless on the next.
II is understood that a number of
companies who have been pulling
casing in their abandoned wells have
stopped and will test the shallow
sands carefully before RELOCATING them
10 the junk pile. There are also some
regrets about being a little 90 hastv
in pulling wells. and it is not improb-
able that before another year is passed
wells will be drilled for the shallow
sands.
