Craw- ford, A Real Estate Agent. Wainwright, Alta., July 17. (To the Editor)-- Perhaps no part of Canada is receiving more atten- tion to-day from the financial world than the ofl flelds and oil prospects of Alberta. Experts who are familiar with the Leth- bridge oil fields prediet great things for Wainwright. They declare the geological formation here to be the same as ip the southern oil fields and some of the more observant de- clare they have found othr surface indications that point to ell at very great depth. A few days ago a great' stir was caused among our towns people by a report that a far- mer drillinggor water had struck oil at a depth of one hundred feet This report proved true, but it will be ne- cessary to drill deeper to secure it in paying quantity: Several companies have been formed and drilling on one claim has already started. The min- eral rights to a large tract of land have been secured, and easterners with little means to discriminate should be careful about investing. You: will hear from few who win, but the great majority who lose will aay nothing. Crop prospects in the Wainwright district were never better and bar- ring hail and early frokts which have pot affected us of late a bumper crop will be harvested but this d not mean prosperity to the farmer) The stringency of the money market, the tariff requirements of our fiscal po- licy, high freight rates and excessive prices of manufactured goods soon eat up what should be the legimate earnings of the western farmer. How- ever, this part has little to complain of and land prices| have remained steady here while ofher parts, have axperienced a severe slump. Among those from Kingston district farm- ing 'here are R. Aykroyd, who owns 1600 acres of land just north of the town, 900 of whieh is in crop. D. W. Hansen, formerly of Desert Lake, and M. A. Harpell, of Inverary, also your humble servant. Dr. McDonald for- merly of Battersea and a graduate of Queen's is practising here while N. J. Marsh, of Cleveland, formerly of Collins Bay, is expected here soon. We will soon be able to form a Kin- gston club. " We turn, however, from the prom- ise of waving fields of grain and the social joy of meeting friends from home fo record ene of the most cold- blooded fiendish pre-meditated mur- ders that the records of our coun- try ean produce. On May 14th, W. B. Crawford, a prominent real es- tate.agent of our town, disappeared A day or #0 previous he received a wire stating a man would call to in- terview him at about ten o'clock in the evening by auto" with the object of selling him several cars of lumber. Mr. Crawford waited down town for this car, and talked with a number of citizens. He sfarted for home in the outskirts of the town and was pneverc seen alive again. About six weeks, later, his body was taken out of a well thirty-seven feet deep that had been suspiciously filled in on a vacant farm five miles south of town. The post morten revealed the fact that he had been struck three blows on the head with a blunt instrument any one of which was sufficient to cause death. The well was very narrow and the ody had been thrown in head first, b: Fo a broken bed rail was plaeed hen a sack of portland cement and dropped in on top, evidently to earry the body down through the sixteen- feet of water into the wooed cribbing near the surafce of the water and it became mecessary to fill in the well. The cribbing above ground was bro- ken off; and the well completely hid- den beneath debris. In a small attic in the house a fork evidently used in filling the well was discovered. In the horse stable from which refuse was carried to fill the well blood spots are still visible on the walls and manger, indicating that-a fierce encounter has taken place here. The man was evidently, stunned and ta- ken out to the farm before being killed. Several parties are suspeet- ed and suspicion rums high but to date the police have not secured evi: dence sufficient to justify them in making an arrest. The late Mr. Crawford came to Calgary from near Ottawa a few years ago and about three years ago came to Wainwright, where he has identified himself with nearly every move that has made for the town's progress. In addition to his large real estate business he was business manager for a large grocery, and was building up a very promising Jufaber 'trade. His loss is a distinct blow to the town and district, and the people are dissatisfied with the way the Investigation is being handl- ed. Representations to this effect were made to Edmonton some time [ago and 'unlss something is done soon an appeal will be made to Ot- tawa. F. WW. A 'What Is He Doing ?

We BERRI DPI IEP e Seb > > GBP B RRP PIIS DSS bs oe -* PEEP EEEIE IPED PE PEPE Ebb Pb GASOLINE AT 10 CENTS Standard Oil Cut Rate to Crowd Out Competitors, New York, July 24.--A criminal warrant has been issued against the Standard OI company of New Jer- fey as a corporation for violation of one of the "seven sisters" acts pas- of Wood- row Wilson as governor and assign- ed to prevent monopoly. The war- rant was issued by Judge Tennant on application of the local manager of the Crew Levie Oil Co., The complaint on which the charge is laid alleges that the Standard O) Co., has been under selling the cost price of gasoline to crowd out com- petitors. A price war has been waged in different parts of the state. 1t has been mest fierce in Hudson Coun ty, where gasoline has dropped to } cents a gallon. 3 George Blakeslee, head of the AH- tual Oil Co., has gasoline stations along automobile routes in Hudson County and has been selling at the 10-cent rate. Blakeslee has: been ac- cused of being an agent of the Stan- dard. This he denies. An official of the Standard Oil Co. sald that Blakelee was not its agent, merely a customer. The price war, he declared, was precipitated by Blake- #lee trying to build up a big business by selling gasoline at a small marrin of profit. This started the price war. nto which the Standard . and the Crew companies were drawn. By the act under which the crimi- nal warrant was isued if their con- victions are obtained, all of the dir- éctore of the corporations will he liable to a three-year sentence.
