IS SURE ALBERTA WILL BE
GREAT PRODUCER OF OIL
Geologist Hayes Predicts That Canadian Province Will
Rank With Best Fields in the World-Woman Gets

George T.. Hayes. +. Il. NJ T. s.. con-
who has been stopping a.: tho Hotel
Marie Antoinette, Is most enthusiastic
for the future OF Alberta province. Can
ada as an oil producing country. Mr..
Hayes is convinced rhat Alberta will soon
rank with, IL NOT surpass. the oil felds
of the Southwest and those OF Mexico.
The engineer said: Il have had twenty
years experience in oil and while they
nave not yet struck oil In any great
quantities in Alberta, I believe II is
there and that Alberta will in the near
future rank rs one OF the greatest oil
fields in the world. Fifteen years ago
John Linehan struck oil. But he was
not a rich man, and indeed there were
few rich men out there then. so he could
not continue along those lines. He en-
tered the real estate business and made
fortune. but he always believed In oil.
II is tho irony OF fate that John Llnehan.
the man who believed in tho future OF
Alberta fifteen years ago. is not alive
now to share in her Dig boom OF pros
per1ty."
Mr. Hayes when asked what eneCr

lief that 1t could not be otherwise than
beneficial.

After distribution the next important
matter In the reorganization OF Rock

IL probable that several committees will

in operation is the Amstcr committee.
II Is not expected that the wallace

though various large Interests connected
