TO INVADE CANADA,
Associated Press to The Evening Tin

Boston, Mass, Aug. 1S.-With bands
playing and flags flying the Fifth Regi-
ment of Infantry of the Massachusetts,
militia starts this evening for an in
vasion of Canada. The immediate OBJ
jective point is the city of Ottawa-the
capital of the Dominion and the seat
of government. After taking the city
by storm the regiment plans to hold
a review on the beautiful grounds in
front of the Parliament buildings.
The fact that the invaders will bear
arms might lead some persons to i'm
agine that another Fenian raid was in
prospect. But nothing is farther from
the truth. The regiment goes to Can
ada at the special invitation of the
authorities and the trip is in the ma
ture of return visit paid Boston last
fall by the Forty-thiri Regiment, Duke
of Cornwall's Own Rifles, of Ottawa.
The Massachusetts soldiers expect to
spend two days in Ottawa. On the re-
turn trip they will make a stop at

NATURAL GAS IN
NORTH ALBERTA
Geological Specialist Inspect
ing Well at Athabasca
Landing.
FLAMES SPOUT HIGH IN THE AIR

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Edmonton, Alta, Aug. 18.-T. C.
Denis, who is attached to the mines
section of the geological survey, has
just returned from a short trip to Peli-
can Portage on the Athabasca river,
some 120 miles below Athabasca Land
ing. Mr.. Denis has been investigating
some of the mineral reserves of Alber-
ia on behalf of the department, and the
object of his visit to the Pelican Rapids
was to report on the present state of
the hole sunk at that place some eight
years ago. The well has since then
been belching forth large quantities of
natural gas which, when ignited, pro-
duces flame which burns to height
of some fifteen feet. When first struck
the escaping gas produced a roar
which could be heard from distance
of over mile, but within the last
three years the pressure has dimin-
ished considerably, and the noise is
not now audible beyond 400 yards. If
this supply of gas were located near
Edmonton, it would constitute very
valuable source of natural fuel, as it
is within 800 feet from the surface,
but as it is situated at such great
distance from any industrial centre
and from any means of communication
it cannot, for a long time at least. be
put to any use.
Further north, in the vicinity of Fort
McMurray, boring operations for oil
are being actively proceeded with. Two
drilling rigs equipped to reach depth
of 5000 feet are now in this field, and
the results will be watched with great
interest by everyone. Biologists
think there is no doubt that large
quantities of oil exist in the forma-
tions underlying that part of Alberta.

The Different Stories.

London, Aug. 18.-Private
kilograms received here from
South America add little to
what has already been cabled
about the earthquake in Chile.
Generally, they refer simply to
the safety of the staffs of Brit
ish firms doing business in Val
paraiso. The manager Of Tar
apaca, an Argentina bank, in
formed the press that from ad-
vices he had received, he had
reason to believe that the dam
age done at Valparaiso was not
so serious as supposed. The
staff of the bank was safe and
the building had been only
slightly damaged. The Pacific
Steam Navigation company
has received the following
cable message from Valpar-

heavy loss of property and
lives. Company's Office parti-

It Is certainly injurious to plow land

land. Turned In this condition, 1t will
harden In that shape and remain so for
a long period. Wet soils, IL changed
more or less, according to the quantity
Of water in them, like a sun dried
brick. The soil that thus hardens will
not absorb moisture from below, and
1t virtually separates itself from the
law Of capillarity. The object Of plow-
ing is to improve the physical condi-
ton Of the land. The soil should tumble
from the moldboard of the pillow in
small particles. but if too wet it will
not do this; therefore, the blowing
should stop. All lands that have dry
subsoils should be broken two inches
deep each fall or winter, which will
improve the land and increase the
crops. The northern farmer, IL he is
up-to-date, turns his land in the win
ter two inches deeper each year. and
he continues this practice until he has
loose soil ten to fifteen inches deep.
