DEAR SIR, DON’T DABBLE m CALGARY 01L Calgary, Alta., Nov. 7.â€"â€"“Fa.bulous Fortunes have been made in the on Fields of the World. Your Chance is Now. Don-t Delay." This is a: sample o! the signs displayed in huge red letters in frant‘of'fl‘tfile“ offices in this city, and there are many of them. They look alluring to the man with money but little information, and, unfortunately, they are more than alluringâ€"they too often catch him. They are delightfully suggestive and delightfully indefinite. “.éet In on the Ground Eloor,” ad- vises another flaring sign. “Gigantic Fortunes Have Been Made in Oil. For a Few Days You can Buy a Single $10 Share; $2.50 per Share on Appli- cation; $2.50 on Alotment, and the Balance In L Cash of $1 Each at One Month’s Notice." This sign further ”informs” the unwary that machin- ery is ordered, and operations will commence at once. It a person ap- plies for a prospectus he infield that the prospectus is in the printer's hands, and will be ready shortly. In the meantime the agent will give all information, etc.. and,there you are. One “oil" agent is so enterprising that he has in his window a minia- ture on pump at work, pumping the oi item a' mode} ofta welL. {Another has a large white pLacard with two bank hills pasted on it“ one a $10 of the State Bank of New Jersey, and the other a Confederate States mu Lfor 3500'; “Ten Dollars Invested in IOil Stock Will Become $500 in a lYear." is the legend attached. The significance of the $500 Conlederate ’State bill not being worth a cent in 1 not explained. popular thing among the oil “promo- ters." Many windows contain, bottles of alleged oil from this much-touted well. These samples are of several varieties, but a little thing like. this does not bother the all agents. These small omces with their entic- ing signs are doing a roaring busi- ness, and more are opening up even day. The attitude of some of these “oil companies" is that a man can not be blamed for taking another man’s money when it is oflered to him. Unfortunately much money is being ofiered and taken. There is no society {or the protection of the pub- lic, and so the great procession o! gullibie people continues to pass in- gullibie people continues to pass in- to the omces with their money, and come out without. it. STEMEN OLIVER MAKES STATEMENT Mr. Step-hen Oliver dropped into the Poet sanctum this morning. and stated he wished to have the report corzected that the town had purchas- ed for him a new buggy and set of harness to replace those destroyed by the fire team on the evening of Oct. 30th. Mr. Oliver purchased the new outfit himself at a cost of $150; At the regular meeting of the coun cil, he states, a committee was ap‘ pointed to deal with Mr. Oliver’s re- quest for a settlement, but nothing was done. The committees met Man- day night, but took no action, and Mr. Oliver states he will advise his solicitor to take immediate prOCeed- ings. He further states that the va- lue of his horse has decreased $50.00. It is now nervous as a. result of the accident, and will not stand alone.

Michael Macdonald at White River. Macdon- aid was a bookkeeper for. Chambers, McCraig and Company. who are en- gaged in doubleâ€"tracking the Superi~ or division of the C. P. R. On Octo- ber 26 he went into the bush to shoot partridges. When he failed" to return. nine Indians were employed to find him, but searched without success for ten days. On Tuesday last an Indian named Louis Porter was running the third rapids in a canoe on the White River and thought he heard: cries in the bush. He reported the matter to.Pro- pincial Constable Edwards, who imâ€" mediately took a party up to the rapids in two canoes. They' called iout Macdonaid’ a name, and heard 21‘ Waist answer from the bank. Macdon- !ald was found one hundred yards ‘lrom the river in an emaciated con- djtion, with hands and feet terribly frozen. He had buried himself in ‘leavcs and soil in anattempqto keep warm. ‘He gas carried two ‘miics over portages to White River, but Irestoratives failed to. keep him alive.

O"â€" Leary of the Sloane Hunt Club, a Toronto hunting party, who ham a lodge north of Parry Sound; eight days. The cook of the camp has been mis- sing since last Friday. He wandered ofl in the morning in search of deer and has not been heard of since. Search parties have been scouring the woods for days, other camps in the neighborhood lending assistance.
