Rush to File Leases
in Alberta Oil Area
A despatch fr"om Edmonton says:-
It"t¢ae; estimated that four thousand
acres in the Wainwright oil area had
been filed by leasehold seekers when
the Dominion Lands Department
office, closed late on: Thursday after-
noon. The rush re.selting"from there-
port' of the strike -of the British Pe-
trole mis, Ltd:,' just announced `fi"y the
company,
Throughout the day land office offi-
ciels attended to .a' steady lineup' of
citizens anxious to file on leases, On
:Wednesday shares in the. British "Pe-
troleutns,.Ltd„ were quoted at the par
value of $1, but with the report of
the strike, the shares were not to' be
purchased at any price, though eager-
ly sought after. ' '
The consensus of opinion of those in
close touch tvith the drilling opera-
tions ''is that the flow of 100 barrels
a day has been considerably under-
estimated. From the commencement
the British Petroleum Company;'has
been conservative in its',iiifortnation,
and persons interested in: the old field
look for a much greater production
from the well.

Bodies �f Unknown Buried
inAbbey May be Removed.
A despatch from London s
ays;-If
Britain .is to continue to 'bury some
of her greatest sons' in Westminster
Abbey it will be necessary to remove
thence a number ,of those frequently
descrkited as nonentities, or there must
be a .chamber set apart for the over-
flow. Boner Law's interment has once
more focussed,attention upon its scant
apace. Carlyle's phrase was that Bri-
tain must- same day make up its mind
to "gaol delivery ,•'
Recently criticism of the burial of
John Broughton, pugilist, in the abbey
was revived. Charles IL's pages of
the. bedchamber .were buried; there,
and also the "Taster to Queen Eliza
beth, "the inventor of the chronomet-
er,": the author of "The New Bath
Guide"'- and "Miss P, Beaufoy"-a
stranger to historians.
Bonar L,iw was the first Prime Min-
istet•. of this century to .rest in the ab-
bey. Of the twenty Prime Ministers
of the previous century only four had
this honor conferred upon them -Pitt,
Canning, Palmerston and Gladstone.
In the eighteenth century there was
only one -Chatham. In the past many
of England's -Prime Ministers were
the snensbers 01 old families and it
was generally the preierenee of their
relatives that they be buried on their
own estates.
Dominion Has Unprecedented
Wheat Crop This. Season
A despatch troth 'Ottawa says: -
There seems' littke doubt now that the
crop of 192$ will run ciao to 500,-
000,000 bushels," said Hon. T. A. Low,
Minister of Trade and Commerce, in.
commenting at length upon a trip of
inspection through the Western prow-
nce,s and as far as -the Pacific coast
from which he has just returned to
Ottawa. 'Mr, Low sone of a general
spirit of optimise) which be noticed in
Western cities: He said that it; was
felt that the turning had now beep
made towards pre-war prospelity,'and
good .harvests for another couple of
years was all that Was needed' -to com-
pletely put Western Canada back upon
its feet,
The increased use •of the Vancouver
Panama Canal route ' for shipping
Western wheat Was one of the most
significant things he noticed ou his
trip, said the Minister.
It has been practically decided to
double ;the capacity of the plant of
the Fort William Paper Co. The pres-
ent capacity of the plant is 120 tons
of groundwood pulp and 160 tons ;of
newsprint daily. The enlargement
contemplated will involve an expendi-
ture of between. $2,000,000 and $4,-
000,000 aitd will increase production
to about -400 tons of newsprint daily.
The plant, as' it stands, represents an
Investment of about $4,000,000 and'
directly and indirectly gives employ-
ment, to ;about 1,0QO men:
