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
s1other to the many previous eyi.
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 on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time II is said that
one of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. If this is so
there are but about dozen wells in
the world of greater production. Dur.
ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over 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 Pre- bably
less, the story win be told whether OF!
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 a
continued range of optimism is TO be
seen everywhere. Early reports of
seeding of all grains being successful
~ 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 wsii. 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 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 If present
favorable conditions continue. the
grain crop OF Western Canada for 1914
win be the largest average in the his
tory Of the country, Advertisement

orlaln d VISITING cards.

Some authorities hold that the or

the compliment proceeded, he caused

+ According to Bertarelli, who, among
others. has been at much pains to com.
lille the history of the card, it is diff

may be, It seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did not real
