OIL, OIL, OIL.

Oil! We want oil lands, = seems to be the cry ON
nearly everybody in this section. Thousands upon
thousands OF acres are being located everywhere Oil
found in springs oozng out Of rocks and in FACT al
most everywhere there good indications. The ex
ctement over oil lands equal to the mining boom and
everybody is getting in the ground floor. The
lands extend from Montpelier Evanston on the south
and from this city to Granger on the east.
Before spring arrangements will be made to put
down hundreds of wells in this vicinity.
For years oil has been known toexist around Bear
Lake but no attention paid it until very recent
~ Now everybody is taking up oil lands and prepar
ing to develop them by sinking wells What it will all
amount to remains to be seen but that there are good
indications to go doubt.
1t would be strange if, after all these years. big
oil gushers and great mining claims should be opened
up right here in Bear Lake county. Yet that is what
all signs point to. Watch old Bear Lake take on a
boom during the coming year. The oil is here the
mines are here, and they will be developed without
delay

spend Money Better Way.

Montreal, March l2.-At meeting of
the Federated Trades and Labor council re-
Gently the following resolution was
adopted
chat the Federated Trades and Labor
council protests against the action of the
city council in voting $4,000 to entertain
the duke Of Cornwall, believing the money
might be better spent in establishing a free
library or home for umbles.
Chat this council is of the opinion that
the entertainment of this gentleman should
be left to private interests, thereby giving
the rich men of Montreal a chance to show
their loyalty.
''And further, that we petition the gov
eminent to deprive the city council of the
right to vote money for such purposes"
This is deemed to be an intimation that
the masses of the people are not likely to
be as complaisant in their submission to
King Edward as to Queen Victoria. 1t is
said that when the spring drills are begun
many of the members of the militia will
refuse to enlist and swear allegiance tC
the king.

Another Railroad Deal.

St Paul, March l2.-The Dispatch SAYS:
William Mackenzie, the railroad masnate,
who is behind the deal whereby the Ca
madam government is to buy up the
Northern Pacific lines in Manitoba, and
General Superintendent Hanna of the Ca
madam Northern arrived in st. Paul to
hold consultation with President Mellen,
in an effort, it is believed, to induce the
Northern Pacific to somewhat amend its
original proposition. Considerable opposi-
ton has manifested itself against the deal,
as it entails more or less expense for a
number of years. There is a well devel-
oped feeling that the Great Northern is
back of the whole scheme.
