WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
of Western Canada have but added
another 10 the many previous evi.
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for so many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil
fields at Calgary show that there is a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields Oh the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some tine. It is said that
one of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour II this is so
there are but about dozen wells in
the world O. greater production Dur
ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider
able portion of Alberta and Saskatche.
wan, while in Manitoba there have al
SO been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov.
cries were made which led to the fl.
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work.
and in couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is 70 wonder that q.
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports Of
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground in a way that brought the
broadcast kind of a grin to oYerspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley, a favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for first place, as to
length of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention,
as a consequence of the inclination to
go more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine,
just what is needed, and IL present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his
tory of the country.-Advertise

NO NEED OF A WIFE.

Though cruel brief be Loves bright hour
of song,
Yet let him sing his full!
For other hearts the echo shall prolong,
When Loves own voice is still.
Whenever you hear a man say he
has no need of a wife don't contradict
him, but you may think as you please.
Because he has home and a father
and mother anxious to crafty his ev-
cry whim he thinks it will always last.
He is popular with the girls. The
sweetest, most desirable welcome him
warmly when he chooses to call.
Bright eyes grow brighter and dimpled
cheeks blush rosy at his whispered
words He thinks that's going to last,
too. He finds girls soon tire Of the
fellows whose intentions are only to
jolly them.
The man who has gone round quite
a bit, always seeking fairer faces and
new scenes, loses without realizing his
greatest charm-the buoyancy of early
manhood, so appealing to young
women. He thinks the repartee which
was so interesting to the dashing
widow should amuse everyone else
whom he meets. He dubs the girl stu
pid if she fails to have the widows
keen perception of the joke. He fairly
lives at his club. The society of the
ail-fellows-well-met will always be
a pleasure that he can enjoy.
But one by one, the go-lucky
club fellows drop out. He finds him
self the last bachelor there. The men
with lovely young daughters and mar
riageable young sisters have ceased
inviting him to their homes for din
ner because of his expressed views
that he's not in need of a wife He
finds when the old folks leave him and
gray hairs commence to thread their
way among his dark locks-for old
Father Time uses his scythe to some
purpose, clipping him bald--and his
evil genius, the govt, persists In Wis
iting him twice a year, staying six
months each time, rendering him we'll
near helpless, that there is a certain
void In his life, want up to that
time that he never knew existed
the need of sympathetic companion.
He knows at last there is no human
being on earth so near and dear as
a wife; some one to console him and
help him laugh away dull care.

a Century ACo.

The trial of the editors of the Ga
zette Universal, which took place in
Madrid 100 years ago, affords an illus
tration of the severity with which the
freedom of the press was restrained
in practically all of the continental
countries in those days. Ferdinand
VII, who but recently had been re-
stored to the Spanish throne as one
of the consequences of the overthrow
of Napoleon, had become involved in
serious controversies with the cortes,
the law-making body of the land, be-
cause of the latters liberal views. A
revolution appeared to be imminent.
The Gazette Universal printed a state
ment to the effect that the officers of
one of the Spanish armies had de-
clared their determination to support
the constitution and the cortes. For
thus daring to take sides against the
throne the editors of the newspaper
were condemned by order Of the king
to labor six years in the 'galleys, on
the coast of Africa.

HOW TO COMBAT DISEASE
Teaching of Sanitary Ideas Among
indians Is q Problem for Gov
eminent Agents.

Or. John n. Alley, superintendent of
the United States sanitarium for Indi-
ans at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, says he is
convinced, after a study Of the causes
OF death among the Nez PerCes Indians
for the last ten years. that 80 per cent
of all the deaths are due directly or
indirectly to tuberculosis. In the hun
dred years that have elapsed since the
historic expedition of Lewis and
Clarke to the Northwest, the NeZ
Perces tribe has diminished from s.
600 to 1900 The present tuberculosis
death rate is about 40 per thousand hv-
ing or two and one-half times the rate
ii the United States as a whole. Doc
tor Alley traces the cause OF the de-
cimation to the change in the mode OF
living of the Indians from the open air
life of the plains to the sedentary, set
tied life OF the reservation. The lat
ter has brought with it the danger OF
house infection which was automatic
ally eliminated in the earlier days.
Ventilation" says Doctor Alley, is
completely foreign to an Indians ma
ture. 1t is with great difficulty that
you can get them to pay any heed to
this important part of sanitation. i
have known twenty or thirty to gather
in small room where an advanced
case of tuberculosis has been housed
for months, and to close all the doors
and windows, even plugging up the
keyholes."
In a recent report of the Office of In
dian affairs, Commissioner Sells points
out that there are approximately $4,000
Indians in the United States suffering
from tuberculosis, and that the avail
able government facilities for their
care will not exceed 800 beds.
