ly enough until Saturday after
noon, when the casing stuck
and all efforts to get it more
than six feet either up or dovn
have proven futile. Mr.. Hacka-
thorne and other drillers con-
suited by him admit they are
puzzled over this situation and
cannot account for it unless the
6-inch casing, which has not
been pulled, has collapsed at
some point and will not allow
the collar of the 5-inch to pass
through. AS Mr.. Hackathorne
is afraid to put too much strain
on the casing for fear of pull
ing it apart, he has ordered a
tool to grip the bottom of the
long string of casing and will
make a supreme effort to dislo-
cate it when this tool is re-
ceived. In the meantime there
is nothing to do but wait.
In case this proves futile, Mr..
Hackathorne will probably use
a string of 4-inch casing in max
ing the test. He will only do
this as a last resort, however,
as this would decrease the pos
sibilities of the well.
Added to the casing trouble
the reservoirs of water at the
test have given out and water
used the past several days has
been hauled from some dis
tance. A good rain would re-
lieve this situation.
Hundreds of feet of oil yet
remains in the casing, although

sure none has come in through

if a considerable gas pressure
should show up when the casing
is finally set, the hole cleaned
and swabbed, and the drill goes
into the producing sanG.
How far off this test now Is,
Driller Hackathorne will not
predict, but as soon as a supply
of water is available and the
necessary tool arrives he can be
depended on to be on the job
and chose the best possible way
out of the present difficulty.

have oil of high gravity, there
remains only one element of

Dali EIREANN RATIFlES IRISH
FREE STATE CONSTITUTION; TO
BE ACTED ON BY BRITAIN SOON

/ Deputy John Milroy declared the con
stituton as the greatest triumph for
Ireland since the battle of kinsale.
The constitution of the new Irish
Free State has now advanced to its
final stage, and only a few formalities
remain to put this notable document
| into complete effect in the adminstra-
ton Of Ireland and of its relations
with the British government.
The constitution in it's final form is
substantially the same as originally
framed, in accordance with the treaty
negotiated between the Irish delegates,
headed by Arthur Griffith and Michael
Collins. and the British cabinet mem
bers, headed by Premier Lloyd George.
The treaty provided for a constitu-
ton. and this was later drawn up in
Dublin and given cabinet approval IN
London.
A few minor amendments were
made in the course of the discussion
of the constitution by the Irish parlia-
ment. but all the essential features of
the original pact remain, and particu-
larry the creation of Ireland as, the
Irish Free State; its establishment
as one of the dominions of the British
commonwealth. with its own parlia-
ment and executive organization, n
with the oath of allegiance TO the king.
which still preserves the tie uniting
! Ireland with the rest of the British
commonwealth.
The constitution has not yet re-
ceiyed the final sanction Of the British
parliament But as the Irish treaty,
on which the constitution is based.
was favorabiy acted upon by the
British parliament, the ratification of
the constitution is looked upon as a
~formality.
Within the past week, however, a
certain element of uncertainty has
entered into the situation because of
the fall of the Lloyd George govern
ment which negotiated the treaty and
the fact that n new parliament IS to
he chosen. Leaders of the new
British government. however, have eX-
pressed themselves as favorable to
the ratification of the constitution by
the new parliament. which is expected
to be assembled and brought into SEES
sion in time to pass the ratifying act
before December 6. when the years
time limit is fixed by the Anglo-1rish
treaty for completing the constitution.
The action of the Irish parliament
is final. so that the document is now
effective except for the British parlia-
ment's re-affirming with greater form
atty the favorable action already taken
on the treaty.
The document grants political and
religious freedom in Ireland, and under
it no law favoring any cult may be
passed. Opinion and the right of as
ISOLATION are ~unhindered and untran-
meled. There are two elective houses.
and all citizens of both Y ENJOY
