my trade and they all speak very favor

one of the most meritorious remedies on
the market. Very truly yours,

BUSINESS GOOD
IN CANADA
No Financial Depression, and
None Since the War Began.

a weil-known correspondent of an
important Western daily paper recent
ly made an extended visit to Western
Canada. and in summing up the re-
suits, after going thoroughly into con-
ditions there, says there is no financial
depression in Canada, nor has there
been anything of the sort since the
war began. Anyone who has watched
the barometer of trade, and seen the
bank clearings of the different cities
grow and continue to grow will have
arrived ct the same conclusion. The
trade statistics reveal like situation.
The progress that the farmers are
making Is highly satisfactory. As this
correspondent says: ut Is true there
have been adaptations to meet new
conditions, and taxes have been re-
vised, and that very large burden of
added expense in many lines has been
assumed, but it has all been done me-
thodically. carefully and with full re
gard for the resources to be called on.
"That this has been done fairly and
wisely is proved by the present COM
Portable financial position.
with the exception of restricted
area in the east, Canada is not an in
dustrial country. The greater portion
of the Dominion must be classed as
agricultural area, with only an infini-
tesimal part of 1t fully developed.
Lacking complete development, the
agricultural portion of Canada has
naturally placed its main dependence
upon fewer resources than would be
the case in the States. Even in peace
times, business would be subject to
more frequent and wider fluctuations,
due to the narrower foundation upon
which it rests.
Thus, Canada has been able to
come up to the war with efficiency and
sufficiency and to maintain and even
advance its civilian activities.
"Canada's first element of financial
strength lay in its branch bank sys-
TEN. This system has two great ad-
vantages: 1t makes the financial re-
sources of the Dominion fluid so that
supplies of capital can run quickly
from the high spots to the low spots;
also, 1t places at the command of each
Individual branch the combined re-
sources of the whole Institution so
that there is an efficient safeguard
against severe strain at any one
point.
Here in Winnipeg, the all-Canada
banking houses maintain big, strong
branches and, as elsewhere in the
Dominion. these held to an attitude of
saneness una solidisy that prevented
even the start of any financial dis
turbance.,
That business generally is now COM
Ing strong on an even keel is largely
due to the absolute refusal of the
banks, both branch and Independent,
to exhibit the slightest signs Of ex-
citement or apprehensiveness.
For all Canada the savings bank
figures are astonishing. Beginning with
1913, they are, for the fiscal year end
ing March 81:

EXPERT OIL WELL DRILLER.

EXPERT OIL WELL DRILLER.
I'm the first place, we have every
confidence in our driler, c. II. Com
ingore. Mr.. Comingorc has Il record
of bringing in 1874 producing oil wells
in other fields. He was in the employ
of the Standard Oil company as cx-
pert drillcr for Is months. He was not
only recommended but was guaranteed
to the Western Pacific Oil and Gas
company as a thoroughly capable and
reliable drillcr of oil wells, by respun-
sible Boise men.
Before accepting the position as
,driller MIR. Comingore insisted upon
seeing the Vale oil field and going
over 1t himself, as he did not wish to
jeopardize his reputation in q field
that might be doubtful"
Mr.. Myers brought Mr. Comingore
to Vale and took him over the oil field
here, particularly over the locality
where is stationed the Western Pa
cific Oil & Gas company's machinery
and derrick.
After examining the field and look

Comingorc said: Gentlemen, I'll ac-

do not bring i'll a commercial oil wa1l

and burn them, and will never drill for
oil again. The surface indications for
oil here arc the best of any field IN
which | have ever drilled"
PROLIFIC OIL AND GAS SAND.
Continuing, Mr.. Myers said There
upon Mr.. Comingore started active
drilling Tor us in the Vale field. When
the drlli reached 20 feet hydrocarbon
sand (oll Sand) was found. This sand
Is prollhc with oil and gas.
Mr.. Comin5ore ut once called up
our Boise office and explained the oil
sand encountered by the drill. lie
said: If the Western Pacific oil and
Gas company's house is not in good
order in every way and all its leases in
the Vale field are not fully and prop
erly secured, you had better not have

be an oil well brought in at any mo-

papers and found some of our leases
