On the Medicine Hat farm is herd of 22 registered Jetsey cows, and a registered bull. At Claresholm is a herd of 16 Aprshire cows, 14 of which are registered. At Olds there are 21 Holsteins, of which 8 are regis- tered. At Vermillion 22 Holsteins, of which 10 are registered. The cows are milked and a record kept of the milk, 80 that from time to time the better ones can be selected. On his present visit east Mr. Mar- shal, willl if possible, secure. tegis- tered Shorthorns of, milking strain, as being most sultable to farm usi Of these 28 wlil be. placed on the Sedgewick farm and 12 at Clares- holm. He will also bring a car of Shorthorns, beef strain, for a farmer at Killam, and a car of graie Short- horn heifers and registered bull for Col. Newcomen, of Agricola, who recently purchased the Hugh Irwin farm in that settlement. Cheaper and Farmers Favors Home Edmonton, Sept, 11 The Rt. Hon. R. G. Munroe Ferguson, M. P. for Leith Burgs, prominent member ot the Scottish party in the British House .of Commons, is one of the guests at the-King Edward Hotel to- day. He is accompanied by Charles Dalziel and Owen B. Jones of Edin- burgh, and Randail Davison; of Mon- treal. They are on a business trip in connection with the North British Mercantile Insurance Corporation, with which corporation they are all prominently identified. Mr. Davison is the Canadian manager of the cor- poration. Interested in Reefproclty. A reporter found Mr. Mun- roe Ferguson anxious to hear about the reciprocity issue in the west. He said he had found that the question of wider markets was a matter. of vital interest. He did not think the present. government in Canada could hold office for any length of time without doing something to relieve the present situation which seemed to be one tending to make the farm- er s wheat cheaper and to increase the price of the commodities that he had to buy. What,was the Conserva- tive Government's program? A One-Sided Protection. The government being opposed to reciprocity with the United States was unable to secure for the farmer what he wanted the privilege of sel- ing in the dearest market and buy- ing in the cheapest. The protection- ist government was opposed to tak- ing off the duty on . manufactured articles that the farmer required and Pso the farmer must continue to pay high prices for his necessities. At the same time the policy denied him the right to ship his wheat to the near- est and most natural market, causing congestion and delay in shipping to the only available market through eastern Canada to Great Britain. The Real Danger. Conservatives on this side as well the Atlantic said they feared that re ciprocity would result in an union with the United States, Why the in- terchange of commodities should re sult in the alienation of Canada from the empire he could not imagine. Price as Conservatives on the other side of ; Makes Farmers Wheat Tacreases the of Commodities Rt. Hon. R. G. Munroe Ferguson, Scottish Member in House of Commons, Thinks Present Government Cannot Retain Power Unless Relief is Secured for Rule All Round. While trade. followed the flag it was not in accordance with history to say that-a part of the empire. must lose its imperial connection because it-en- tered into trade arrangement with another country. If there was any danger of a union between Canada and the United States he thought that danger must be increased when Canadians found that their loyalty to the empire meant that they must suffer a financial grievance, on account of their being denied wider markets, In West in 1887. The Canadian west was very sur- prising, sald Mr. Munroe Ferguson, He was through Canada in 1887, when he went from coast to coast. He did not see Edmonton at that time, but Calgary was just about two years old. The whole southern country was coy- ered with ranches and the popul tion was sparse. At that time no one seemed to think that such a farming country as Edmonton is lay so far north and t now appeared that Ed- monton was only the beginning of a new north, which had just as surpris- ing possibilities as the older north. H Home Rule for Scotland. Mr. Munroe Ferguion is an advo- cate not only for home rule for. Ire- Jand, but being a Scotchman, he wants the same for Scotland. As a Sctch- man, be said, I am loyal to the em- pire, but that is'a different thing from being loyal as a dependent nation to England. We have our own local af- fairs which should be dealt with by a. Scottish pariiament just as your Canadian affairs are dealt with by your government in Ottawa. I don t believe the granting of home rule all Tound would at all weaken the bonds that bind the empire together. It 1s notin the interests of the empire that country s affairs should be delayed and hampered by having to take their chance in parliament which is much congested. To give home rule all round would leave the imperial parliament more free to deal with affairs affedting the whole empire, and there is not a doubt that more satisfaction would result from the greater attention to local affairs that the local parliaments would be able to giv diggors were sent by the Geological Survey of Canada into what was than an almost unknown. part of the Northwest Territories, but is now in- cluded within the Province of Al- berta.

That. the gas) On arrival a breed price was placed flow is, undiminished, however, is quite certain, for there is a flame nearly fifty, fest) high and of very substantial eireumference: In Janu- ary last a party of returning -survey- ors camped, on a bitterly cold night, at the gas well, whose cheerful flame so warmed the winter atmosphere for many yards around that they slept comfortably in pen. GAS, Ol, TAR AND COAL. The Athabas a River, in whose vi- inity this effective gas supply found, is one of: th grest waterways of the north. The Peace and Mac kenzie rivers make up with it a trip that mean almost overything to the industrial fature of the northwest, and they all ran-through belts of gas, oil, tar and eoal lands. There is inthe Athabasea district a tract of a hundred thousand square miles that is saturated with petroleum. The Pelican gas well at .point on the Athabasca + some 200 ailes north of Edmonton, was the unin- tentional result of an attempt to tap the undergroundoil, supply and ou- merous other borings have been made throughout the district. The exist- ence of petroleum in immense quanti- ties has been fi lt;i proven, though whether or not it is of uniformly high grade is mot yet so certain. SUPPOSED WILDERNESS. What was once supposed to be a wilderness, without industrial value, is now seen to have many: possibil ties, and this underground supply of petroleum is one of the best of them. Until the railroads get into the country there is no possibility of de- veloping the resource, and meanwhile there is an amount of good, illumin- ant and fuel going to waste. The Pelican gas well is supposed to be the largest in the world, and it gives no indication of running cut. During the past year it Was noticed for the first time that stall drops of tar were being blown ), up with the gas. and falling on the ground around the Worn its badge. Probably no other well. But if the ail;- whieh is the more merchantable of the twin products, can be reached only through such un- controlable volumes :of gas, it remains to find a way of getting at it. The report of the geological sur- vey in. regard to the Pelican well recommended that a new bore at the depth of 820 fect, where, the large gas vein was, encountered should be. at. least ten inches in di- ameter , then :it- would be possible to reduce the casing four or fiye times, giving that many different lines of pipe to be used in getting by these gas veins. Some such method will undoubtedly be tried soon, for the hoped-for railroads are-now heading- in that direction. MORE VALUABLG THAN PELTS: A Giant gas well blazing high and fiercely is very interesting, but it is too wasteful of natural resources to be long tolerable. Coal, oil and gas are the three riches of the north. It has been supposed to yield chiefly furs and pelts, but these other. pro- duets are quite as native and far more valuable. The whole northland above the present line df rail is a re- gion of mineral wealth, which, in its ;nearer limits, takes the form of the. largest gas and oil reserves in the world, and, farther north, of coal beds no one knows how lange. About two hundred miles from the Anetic circle there is a coal area on the Mackenzie river that bas been on fire for a hundred years. It has been slowly burning from within, and spreading, until now the fire has cov- ered some twenty miles, showing a. broken linesof low, mysterious earth- flame that at night is one of the grandest and weirdest of northern sights. Gil oozes out along the shores of Great Slave lake and the Mackenzie river, and tar drips all summer from the banks of the Lower Athabasca and Great Slave rivers.

The vast organization which has for its motto, For Christ and the Chureh, now has local branches in practically all of the cities, towns, and hamlets of the United States and Canada, and has extended its influence to Great Britain, Australia, China, India, Japan, and nearly all mission- ary countries, It is affiliated with all the great evangelical denomina- tions, and these have carried the C, E. button and the Christian Endea- vor principles to the uttermost cor- ners of the globe.

His name originally was Symmes, but his and he was adopted by his uncle, the Rev. R. W. Clark, and assumed his name. , He was educated at Dart- mouth College and Andover Theo- logical, Seminary, and became pastor of Williston Church at Portland, Me, This was*a struggling missionary church conducted by the Congrega- tionalists: The young pastor labored in vain to build it up-and make ft a real force, but failure repeatedly fol- lowed his. best efforts. A less deter- mined man would have given up in despair, but Dr. Clark did not know the meaning of failure. He decided that- the only hope for the church was in enlisting the interest and en- thusiasm of the young people. With this end In view he established in the Maine metropolis the pioneer Chris- tian Endeavor Socfety. Within a few weeks the plan had developed into a success, and a second society was formed at Newburyport, Masa. Scituate, R. 1, organized a third branch, and in 1882, when the first Ghristian Endeavor convention was held in Portland, Me. six societies were represented. In 1883 Dr. Clark went to Boston to become the pastor of the Phillips Congregational Church, and there he continued the work of organizing new Christian Endeavor bodies. In. 1837, quarter of a century ago, he re- signed the pastorate to devote his entire time to the society h had brought into being, and ever since he has remained ts president, England began to manifest an in- terest in the movement in 1888, and Dr, Clark made.a tour of John Bull's Island, with the result that a number of societies. were formed. In 1893 he made his first tour of the world, travelling nearly 40,000 miles and holding meetings in a dozen different countries.
