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 to 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
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t is said that
one Of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. If this is so
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world of greater production. Dur
ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
able portion Of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al
SO been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, few days ago discov-
cries were made which led to the fill
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 no wonder that
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports Of
seeding of all grains being successful
iy 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 overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley, 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 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 if present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his
tory of the country.-Advertisem

HOW TO COMBAT DISEASE
Teaching of Sanitary Ideas Among
Indians 10 a Problem for Gov
eminent Agents.

DR.. John N. Alley, superintendent OF
the United States sanitarium for Indi-
ans at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, says he is
convinced, after 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 g.
900 to 1900. The present tuberculosis
death rate is about 40 per thousand liv-
ing or two and one-half times the rate
in 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, lis
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. l
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.

Had the Real Spieit.

All along the road to Lexington
from Cambridge, Mass, there are
monuments to rebel colonists who
slew British soldiers on April -, In
1775, but the most striking is that
which is raised to the memory of
Samuel Whittemore. He was eighty
years of age at the time, and he killed
three British soldiers with his own
hand. The stone records that for this
he received punishment of three kinds.
He was shot, he was bayoneted and
he was beaten. He was then, reason.
ably enough, left for dead. The old
fellow must have had a magnificent
constitution and spirit which the
most devoted optimist might envy.
For the inscription goes on to say that
he recovered and lived to the age Of
nfnety-eight.

used sparingly and applied only to
the root-tops of the dandelion. The
United States department of agricul-

various poisons to discover the most
efficient means of eradicating this
troublesome weed from lawns, but,
although others have been found sat

general use. as there is no danger &C.

THE ONE GUIDE POST.

When the fathers reared the fabric
Of their little republic here in the
new world wilderness, with the equal
ity of men as it's foundation, there
was not a state anywhere when
rested on that principle. On the con-
trary, it was denied by every other
nation. A few philosophers had
dreamed Of such country, but it
had no existence outside of books
until adopted here.
And 1t was not put In practise even
here until years after it had been
proclaimed as the ideal toward which
the infant republic was striving. There
was no political equality in any one
Of the Ii original states, and negro
slavery continued for so years to
mock the first principle of the Declare
ton of Independence. But it stood,
and It ever stands, as the guidepost
on our only path toward progress. We
have denied it and turned back; de-
cried 1t and stumbled. At every step
forward we have had to follow it, even
though It led US through four years Of
fire.
