Turner Valley lis
Largest Gas Field
In North Province

The drilling Of gas wells and
marketing OF the product has
continued in Alberta ever since
1900 Many gas fields and sew
eral oil occurrences have been
discovered. The largest single
commercial strike has been that
in Turner Valley. Geological ex-
ploration and the testing Of pros
poets by drilling has progressed
steadily, and in ever increasing
scope for the past twenty years.
At the present time the greatest
activity yet experienced is at its
height in Western Canada. Drill
ing on new prospects Is under
way In many parts Of Alberta, and
several major operating com
panies have established district
headquarters In the city Of Cal
gary. Some OF these are,-the
Texas CO., the Continental Co.,
Imperial OH Ltd. the Western

The Producers and Refiners Co.,
and number Of well established
independents.

Our first real oil boom occurred
in Pineher Greek in 1890. Many
square miles Of the country were
staked up in 30 acre lots at that
time. A well was drilled for oil
but was abandoned when water,
with which the drillers could not
cope. was struck. seepages Of

Lewis fault plane, near the pres

In 1894, under government
management. two wells were

to test for oil. Both found largo

Major Companies
Now Leading In
Oil Development

The responsibility Of compre.
hensive further development has
been taken in large measure from
the hands of a jealous. optimistic,
layman oil fraternity and now
rests with large, well-organized
oil companies who are better able
to realize the full potentialities
OF the country. The industry is
probably now at the beginning Of
a new and protracted period Of
profitable expansion.
The broad aspect Of the geology
OF Western Canada is relatively

Those Troians who made up the

Geological Survey Of Canada
during its earlier years. Robt.
Bell, C. M, Dawson and r. g.
Mcconnell all noted the presence
OF propitious formations and en-
vironments for the retention OF
oil and gas in the west. They re-
ported the actual signs OF hydro
carbon products In various places
from near the International
Boundary to Fort Norman in the
far north. No worthwhile dis
cussion Of the resources Of West

some mention Of these pioneers.
The honors Of discovery lie with
these men. The next phase to
be considered is the actual de-
veloDment.
Although the oil and gas indus

Exposures Hard
To Locate In
Plains District

The problem pertaining 70 indi-
viduas structures and limited
local areas are, in contrast to
the simple. general relation, quite
difficult. The greatest obstacle
is the lack Of surface exposures,
this Is especially true Of the plains
areas. The presence Of glacial
beds, which is the cause OF this
difficulty, also obscures most Of
the outcrops in the foothills re-
gions, and adds to the problems
OF descipheFing those intricate
structures. In which steep folding
and thrust faulting are the essen
tial features. Only a small frac-
ton Of the territory has been sur
veyed in detail structurally. A
great number Of the earlier loca-
lions were made by recourse TO
only the -snost elementary prin-
ciples OF structural geology ana
in many cases in complete dis
regard OF them.
The Federal and Provincial sur
veys possess most Of the essen
tial data on stratigraphic sequence
and thlcknesses over most Of the
province. This useful informa-
ton is available to prospective
operators. Except in the details
Of local structures and strait
graphic problems the geology Of
the entire region is quite fully

BICENTENNIAL
 OF WASHINGTON
Picture of Historic Birth- place Received at the
 Democrat Office
FROM SOL BLOOM

The following Is copy of . state- inent accompanying q large poster showing the historic birthplace of George Washington, received at the Democrat office from Repre- sentative Sol Bloom of New York. who is associate director of the bicentennial commission:
 '.A1l over the United States and in many other parts of the world, the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington will be celebrated during more than nine months of 1882. Every American will want to do his and her part in the great series of his- toric event in honor of the father of our country.
 "As planned by the United State George Washington bicen- tennial commission, this greatest celebration in our history, will not be confined to one locality. Every state, city and town; every organ ization and institution; every home and individual will participate.
 Each community Is expected to arrange it's own program and to carry out its own series of celebra- tions with the cooperation and as- sistance of the United States Con- mission and the several State Bi- centennial commissions.
 The home in which Washington was born was located on Pope's Creek, Westmoreland County, Vir- ginia. Fire destroyed it in 17S0. All memory of the house was lost, and for generations, only a monu- ment marked the spot where the Nation Builder was born.
 "A legend became current that the first presidents birthplace was a little wilderness cottage. and for years fanciful pictures of this legendary home were circu- lated. Investigatoins, however, have uncovered the foundation and plentiful evidence has come to light to make possible a faithful of the substantial brick house. Our artist followed the officially accepted design of the house in painting this picture of historic wakefield" It is the plan of the Wakefield National Memorial association, aided by the federal government and the state of Virginia, to complete the re- production for the Two Hundredth Anniversary Celebration"

 New York, Oct 21-Railroad stocks broke wide open in the fnt- tial dealings on the stock exchange today as traders, disappointed over the decision of the interstate com merce commission on freight rates, dumped their holdings for what they would bring.
 Railroad shares were down l to more than points at the outset. their weakness bringing down oth- CT sections of the list.
 The railroads had asked the |. C.. c. for a 15 per cent increase in freight rates. This would have in- creased revenue about $500,000.000 and thus saved the bonds. The de- cision gives something between $100, 0,000.000 and $125.000,000 to be pooled for weak railroads.
 On belief this decision would play havoc with the railroad bonds. selling went ahead in the railroad stocks. The first sale of Southern Pacific was at 54 off 1-2; North ern Pacific 23 7-8 off 3; St Paul preferred 5 5-S off l 1-3; Chesa- peake & Ohio 30 1-2 off 1-2: Missouri ri-Kansas-Texas g 1-2 of 5-S; Alleghany corporation 4 1-S, off 1-2: St Louis San Francisco
