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.

Neu. A. C, Wishart, A. Writes
a Newsy letter from
• Calgary, Alta.
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

June 25, 1914,
DEAR 141n. 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. I was
pleased to teed that one of our young
ladies carried off the gold medal in the
graduating .class of the Waterloo
hoepi tat. Good goods are donee.inp in
small parcels. I yeas' glad to know
that Burma carried the ()wide
Temperance Act, but I am looking
forward With hope and expectation
to the returns in .the next Provincial
Legielature oNa sufficient niimbee of
ince who have pledged themselves to
support Proviecial Prohibition to the
full extent of its powerse trust that
every temperance man and every
choral Man will vote for pledged
temperance candidetee. Now Ouse a
thence is given to strike a blow for
Prohibition. I hope that all who
have the beet interests 2 the Province
at tweet will strike that blow and
Witte it hard, But I mustn't preaelt,
