KER,R, Profitielor Temperance forces are now orgenized latntdo the evolfee Eloetinthl tpereoyti°11el iiEjf bin altre before the clouts of 1910. Apart from the yearly increasing wheat, fields of Sunny Alberta a new industry which gives great promise has come into existence in the pat month or two, in the discovery of oil, True it ie only it3 the experimental stage as yet, but the present indica - Bens are each as to give great, promise that Alberta has one of the ' greatest and richest oil fields in the world. Oil was found in the first well at a depth of 2750 feet. The oil that was taken from the well is worth $9.00 a barrel. It has not been found in great quantities but the indications are good, A little over a week ago another oil vvellwas struck at a depth of 808 ft. and in this the real rich black petroleum was found, the kind that is used for purposes of -fuel. Geologists, who are here from all over, spying out the land, are convinced that there is oil here and volumes of it. When oil was first steuck; you couldn't imagine the excitement the announcement of it caused. The whole city went wild. Oil stock offices were jammed with men crazy to buy shares. Many many thousands of dollars that were not supposed to exist were drawn forth from their secret hiding places and eagerly exchanged for oil certifi- cates. New oil companies were or- ganized with great profusion and rapidity. Before a week was past, probably 75 new companies were or- ganized with an enormous capitaliza- tion, reaching far away into the millions. Fabulous prices were paid for rent for offices for these new oom- panies. One company paid a barber $4000 for the rent of his shop till the end of the year. I wonder if John Hewitt or Andy Currie have any shops to let at that price ? Almost every section and quarter section of land for over 200 miles in length and 80 in width have beeh filed on for oil.

Upon not one section in perhaps a hundred which have been leased will oil be found, but if even one in a hun- dred produces oil it will be one of the greatest oil areas ib the world and millions upon millions of money will pour into Alberta from all over the world. There is one company here, backed by British capitalists, that is drilling for oil If they succeed in getting it they have sufficient money pledged to develop every likely loca- tion from the Montana boundary to the Arctic Circle. It was amusing as well as pathetic to see how crazy the people got. The very atmosplrere was electric and he was a steady cool- headed num indeed who could stand down town among the' crowd of ex- cited men who talked of nothing but oil by day and dreamed it by night and who refrained from investing. This spirit of gambling was not con- fined to the men alone. A lady down town one day caught the spirit. took her wrist -watch off her wrist and sold it and bought oil shares. Another woman sold her piano and invested and still another was even more bold. She had no money to invest and her hubby either wouldn't give her any or hadn'e it to give. But she wouldn't be balked. She wouldn't let the op- portnne moment go by without an ef- feet, after her husband went down town after breakfast she disposed of her kitchen range, took the money and went down town and bougt oil shares. A rumor of a gusher at a well sent her shares up and she sold them, then went and bought a new kitchen range and had it installed and when her husband returned for din- ner at six, she had the dinner ready and she had quite a little nest egg over, which she had realized that day on her adventure. Four young lady waiters in a restaurant, where I often get my lunch, took out oil leases last Fall costing $45 for a quarter section. Three weeks ago they sold their right for $92,000 and they don't wait on tables any more now. Two younix Scotch women, homesteaders, mold. the oil rights on their quarter section for $40,000. But not all are so fortun- ate and yet we will have many new millionaires here. One man last week went to bed hoping he would some day be a wealthy man, next morning he wakened up to find himself a really millionaire. To this condition many are called by the lure of wealth but few are chosen. It will be a while before I realize on my oil invest- ments for the simple reason that I haven't anything invested. I am com- fortably settled in my new house and have got the lawn nicely fixed. It is not quite so large as the one at Mel- ville manse, as land le rather more expensive here. I paid $3000 for the bare lob I um pleased to state that I tun improving and gradually coming back to my former condition, though the doctor tells me that I should be satisfied if I Dan fully recovered inside a year, It's a tniracle of miracles that I am alive, after being overcome with those deadly gas fumes, I lay uncon- scious on the couch for over 20 hours before X was discovered, during which time the fumes came pouring up from the furnace in which three burners wet e going full blast, through two hot air flees and I had the door and win- dows -shut.

KERR. -In forwarding my belated subscription to your valu- able paper I thought a few lines from nie might be in order. Through the columns of THE POST I keep myself informed on the doings there and while things do not change with the same rapidity there as they do in the busy West, still many changes have taken place since I left. Friends re- speeted and revered. The angel of death is very impartiat en his selec- Mole Not always does he choose those who have reached the three score and ten mark, sometimes he selects those who are young and bright and full of much promise. But such is life. "It isteven a vapor thatetppeareth for it little time and then vanisheth away. I read with muclt interest the account of the corner stone lay- ingof the new Melville church which marks the beginning of anoth- erepoch in its history and though I was not pi:esent at the interesting ceremony:in person,yet 1 was in sphit, joying and rejoicing with the congregation in all that was done. 1 trust that the future has in store for Melville greater and richer things than have yeb been. " Many a poor horse will rejoice this Winter because of the sheltering cement walls of bhe breed new church sheds.
