Gaspe Fields Considered Admirable for New Imperial Scheme.' A despatch, from London says: In view of the increasing attention which is being directed to the adop- tion of oil as fuel in the British navy, it is interesting to know that oil lands in different parts of the Empire are beim sedulously devel- oped. The decision of the Govern- ment to secure supplies as far as possible within the Empire has giv- en a. new impetus to the search for large oil deposits in different parts of the dominions, and it would be fitting that the premier dominion, Canada, should be reckoned among the fuel -oil sources of supply. In this connection Viscount Selby, who is chairman of the Eastern Canada Company, and who has just returned from the Canadian -fields, supplies interesting details. In the course of a conversation Lord Selby remarked that he was very greatly impressed with what he saw and heard during the visit. The 'most favorably situated oil fields in Canada, from a geographical and strategical point of view, he states, are those of Gaspe, which extend from the seacoast on the Bay of Gaspe,• on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, for several miles in a north-wester- ly direction. It was in the Larocque district, in 'the North-West, that a consider- able number of wells were put down and good supplies of oil of a high quality obtained. What is' known as an anticlinal formation extends from this district in a south and easterly direction down to' the coast. The opinions of experienced drilling men and geologists in that country are to the effect that oil will be found there in large quart ties. Should this be the case, the importance of the field from the points of supply for the British navy and for marine and industral .purposes cannot be overestimated. Laureate, Dr. Robert Bridges.

The com- plaint was made. by Milford Ald- ridge, a citizen of Coaticook who swore that he had seen Jerome playing poker in public on Thurs- day. Jerome was token to jail where Thaw was confined when brought here two weeks ago. Thaw's lawyers disclaimed any knowledge of the arrest. The be- lief prevailed that it was due solely to ill -feeling among the town's people, who resented Jerome's presence. After Jerome was in jail almost an hour his friends found Magistrate MVIcli,ee, who admitted Jerome to $500 bail. Attorney Ver- ret, assisting the New York State authorities, said that the case doutbless would be • adjourned to give Jerome opportunity to fulfil his mission to Canada should the immigration authorities deport Thaw. Jerome left the jail smil-' ing.
