Bringing in Of Well Near Cement is Now
Scheduled for Tuesday
Afternoon
ACTUAL FLOW OF
OIL IS REPORTED
Runs luiO Tank Following Sudden Flare
Up Of Gas JET; Many Visit
Scene

Owing to the high wind which CON
tinued Saturday, making it dangerous
to start a fire under the boilers, with
gas driving oil IN a spray from the
well, no effort was made to bring in
the test on the Kunzmullar farm near
Cement, as was intended. AT least
that is the explanation brought back
by a number Of Chiel1asha men who
went out 70 Witness the operation.
Information received today is to tho
effect that the act Of bringing in the
well is scheduled for tomorrow after
noon and that the big doin's" will
surely come OFF at that time.
In spite of the severe weather local
oil enthusiasts made the trip to the
prospective field yesterday, driving
out over the new Chickasha-C Cement
Oil Fields Highway which is reported
to be in good driving condition. The
Frisco train Saturday evening also
carried large number Of prospectors
to the scene.
That oil stands about 1900 feet deep
IN the we'll was the word brought
back by those who went to Cement
Saturday and this morning one report
said oil had actually flowed from the
well into one Of the two tanks that
have been built The gas pressure is
also said to be strong and gas from
the well is being used for fuel. "The
man in charge Of the we'll told me that
about 4 O'clock Sunday afternoon there
was a sudden bursting forth Of the gas
jet and after that oil flowed for sew
eral minutes said ]. u. McNeill who
was there yesterday I'VE looked into
the tank and saw a small amount OF
oil, can't say how mucL."
AS far as their expressions Indicate
all who have Investigated the test
seem TO be convinced that 1t is real
oil well though they do not attempt to
say how much 1t viii make. Estimates
vary all the way from 25 barrels up to
figures calculated to make the head
swim Until the well is actually
brought in, all figures must be mere
guesses. During the past few days
activity in lease trading in
the field is reported.
The test is something over 1900 feet
deep. It Is reported that several other
wells will soon be started III the same
field.
Two oil men who were there yester-
lay stated this morning that oil is now
standing to the top Of the well. They
said the oil tested from 90 to 3S gray
ty making its quality similar to that

WILL NOT MARRY ON FRIDAY
Most Women Still Cling to This Old
Superstition But French Girls
Think That Day Fortunate.

There Is no perGb In womans
life that so completely changes ner
whole existence as marriage, and for
that very reason she Is apt 10 be more
superstltious and faneifuI at that time
than at any other. and while superstl
'tlons are fast becoming a thing Of the
past there are few women who will
not hesitate before making Friday
their wedding day, says London Tit
Bits.
June and October have always been
held as the most propltious months, a
happy result being thought by some to
be rendered certain If the ceremony
Is timed so as TO take place at the
full moon or when the sun and moon
are In conjunction.
In Scotland the last day of the year
is thought to be lucky and II the moon
should happen to be full at any time
when wedding takes place the
brides cup Of happiness Is expected
to be always full.
The good people Of Perthshire who
have had their banns published at the
end of one and are married at the be-
ginning Of another quarter Of year
can expect nothing but good things.
The day of the week is also of great
Importance, Sunday being great
favor4te In some parts of England and
Scotland. And although an English
lass would not marry on Friday, the
French girls think the first Friday in
the month particularly fortunate.

How ENGLAND Obtained Canada.

Acadla-now Nova Scotia and New
Brunswlck-and the Hudson's Bay ter.
ritory were ceded to Great Britain by
France by the treaty Of Utrecht In
1715. To be sure. Britain had an older
title to the Hudson's Bay territory by
reason Of discovery and occupation,
and the territory came to mean about
all the Canadian West Of today. Old
Canada-today the provinces of Que
bee and Ontario-were ceded to Great
Britain by France by the treaty OF
Paris, signed on February 10, 1763
BY this same treaty France gave up
any claim to the Ohio valley and other
territory now forming much OF the
central West Of the United States.
