THE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

Operators are complaining that the present prizes

enough induce special efforts in the deep sand
district where the work Of drilling and operating
wells IS much greater than in the shallow sand
section. where most OF the recent work has been
done. Unless further concessions in prices are
made to the drillers. good deal of undeveiooed
territory is likely to remain idle for a long time.
The oil fields show falling off in new work be-
cause of the lack of encouragement.
The field news from the lower Southwest is as a
rule, little better than that which has been re-
ported for many weeks. The list of dry holes is
being enlarged daily. while the producing wells
are almost all of small calibre and show moor
staying qualities. At present Richie County seems
to be the most promising section as there ap-
pears TO he possibility OF striking a good salt
sand development. Work in the Goose Creek sec
ton has given indications that considerable new
production might be secured from this formation
It is possible that the territory may be productive
for a distance OF several miles. The sand is
reached at depth OF from 400 800 feet, and
is comparatively easy and cheap TO operate. The
wells already completed do not show large nor
do they hold their first output very long but settle
down to steady, light producers Ii is probe BILE

NIAGARA NOT GIVING OUT.

The announcement that the water power of the
Niagara Falls on the Canadian side IS not going
to be appreciably diminished by the action of
has been received with great deal of satisfaction
When the Joint Waterways Commission was named
10 inquire into the American and Canadian water
power interests along the international boundary,
the proposal made by the American commits
sloners that the two countries should hereafter be
regarded as having equal interests in the water
powers along the boundary. Canada, 1t is claimed
would have lost by such agreement, especia ly
at Niagara Falls, where this country owns 214 1000
ieet OF the water flow. compared with 81 900 feet
owned by the United States
Scientists have estimated that the process of ero
sion has caused the brink of the Horseshoe Falls
the Canadian side TO receGe eighty feet the
last century. The wearing away process has been
going on, and it has been stated that IN half a
century Canada would find a greater portion of the
Niagara flowing the American side OF the Nj
agara international boundary
With the idea Of ascertainng the accuracy OF this
Boundaries Commission engaged Ronsignor La
famine, eminent scientist of Laval University,
10 proceed to Niagara Falls and make observations.
The report made by Monsignor La1amme is in
the hands of the Canadian commissioners.
MOnsignor Lafamme is of the opinion that
changes caused by the process of nature will not
make serious difference in the flow of water on
the Canadian side for fifty sixty years and thai
after that time Canada's share of the water is
likely to increase than decrease In view of this
report the Canadian commissioners will be less in
cllned than before to agree that the water power
Of the two countries be regarded in future equal

CANADIAN NoRrHERN RAILWAY

Another important stage IN the railway develop
nent of Canada reached Friday of last
week when at Edmonton silver spike taken from
a British Columbia mine driven Into tama-
rack tie from the forests of the Rainy River. on
tario to mark the completion of the Canadian
Northern Railway to Edmonton the capital of
Alberta.
The Canadian Northern now possesses a direct
link in its proposed transcontineutal line of 267
miles and tctai in Western Cansda of more
than 800 miles. The company also owns q number
of sort lines and charters in Eastern Canada and
promises to bind the whole system together in the
course Of the next few years. Messrs. Mackenzie
and Mann. the promoters of this system. are men
who have the confidence of leading fnancers OF
London and will probably meet with little difficulty
IN financing their tTanscontinental project. They
claim that they Will have coast to coast system
by the time the Grand Trunk Pacific is completed.
which willgive Canada three great transcontnenta1
lines
Railway DEVELOPMENT in Canada is illustrated in
sued recently. In railway growth Canada stands
third in the British empire nut when population is
considered she should he given first place. India
stands first, having population of 295 2527 100 and
IS S5l miles of railway. Great Britain stands
ond with Il eJ7.552 population and f2433 miles OF
railway. Canada. with less than 100000 population
has fust 30f1 mites of railway less than Great
Britain.
Al TIE present rate of railway construction Can
ada in the next decade will in all probability lead
mother country and India in the matter of rail-
way development and stand next in that respect
only TO the United States and Russia.

TO DEVELOP TRADE.

The Canadian government is alive to the neces-
sity Of looking out for trade openings in all direc-
tons Although the country does not possess a
consular service such as the United States. Great
Britain and other countries. the Department Of
Trade and Commerce has trade agents in many OF
the leading capitals and Industrial centres OF the
world These trade agents have done splendid ser
vice in keeping manufacturers IN touch with condi-
tons abroad Their reports are published weekly
and distributed among business men. These re-
ports have attracted considerable attention abroad,
and the department takes pride in the fact that
they are occasionally quoted by the American con-
sUlar service s.# Al. ..<.-..E~~- Iii
Canada's ambition to become OF the great
trading nations Of the world is also demonstrated
by her efforts in other directions, particularly IN
the inauguration of new steamship services. 1t
has been announced within the last few days that
an order in council has been passed granting
contract to the Buckna Steamship lines, of Lon
dom England, for a service on the Pacific Ocean
between Vancouver and New-Zealand. There will
and one arriving every two months.
This is modest start but 1t is believed that the
trade will develop and that vessels will be
put in the course OF short time. Canada gives
$50, 900 year and New-Zsaland similar amount
for the support of this service.
A steamship service to Mexico recently
inaugurated with successful results. It is conf

many Canadian products which find ready mar
ket in the republic, and the other hand, Canada
will be able to buy something in return. Mexico,

fneries. West Indian sugar comes in a
preference, but the MexicanS have advantage
in cheap labor and cheap land which puts them on
