President Of Great Western Motor Co
Ltd, Visits MinOt

Ltd, Visits MinOt
Peter Kennedy, president Of the
Great Western Motor Co. Ltd, Of CAL
gary, Alberta, was business visitor
to the city on Thursday Of last week.
President Kennedy is well known in
the city having at one time been in
the employ Of the Minot Auto Co.
He had been down this way to look
after his land interests in Montana
and stopped off here for conference
with L. C. Stearns of the Minot Auto
Co. Mr.. Stearns is one Of the prin-
cipal stockholders of the Great West
Motor Co. Ltd, which is the largest
automobile distributing agency In the
Dominion. Its territory comprises the
entire province Of Alberta and the
eastern half of the Province of Bri-
fish Columbia. This agency handles
the Overland car exclusively and one
order recently placed calls for the de-
livery of 5000 automobiles. Speak
ing of conditions in western Canada,
Mr.. Kennedy states that conditions
are excellent, crops good and real es-
tate values have improved fully 30
percent during the past year. In
the Big Valley district northeast OF
Calgary wheat is averaging 40 BUSH
els and better this year. Western
Canada is due for another big oil
boom as the Imperial Oil Co. are
spending $5OOOO,OO0 in the develop
ment of the oil fiilds of Alberta, geo.
logists having given their opinion that
that particular district would event
ually produce more oil than all the
other oil districts. of the American
continent put together. From here
Mr.. Kennedy went to Toronto where
re Canadian factory and general Of
fees for the Dominion are located.
One other fact Of interest which Mr..
Kennedy mentioned was that Ignite
coal was being shipped from Alberta
far east as Toronto. The lig
mite Of Alberta is of superior quality
and in places approaches the value
of hard coal in heat units.

Sheriff Scofield arrived from Han
kinson with sixteen-year-old Ryder
girl, who forged her step-father's name
to SIS check, with which she bot
ticket to her old home in Montpel-
Ter, Vt. The mother was in Minot to
meet her daughter upon her arrival
with the sheriff. The girl is staying
at the sheriff's home and the case
against her will probably not be push
