WESTERN CANADA’S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.
The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evi-
dences that have been produced,
Bhowing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for so many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil-
fields at Calgary show that there Is a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. It is said that
one of the wells Is able to produce
2,000 gallons an hour. If this is so
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world of greater production. Dur-
ing the past week discoveries df sur-
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider-
able portion of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al-
so been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov-
eries were made which led to the fil-
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres of land, all having strong sur-
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work,
and in a couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make of. Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that a
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports of
seeding of all grains being successful-
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground in a way that brought the
broadest kind of a grin to overspread
the farmer’s countenance.
Barley, a favorite with the hog rais-
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for a first place, as to
length of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention,
as a consequence of the inclination to
go more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine,
just what is needed, and if present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his-
tory of the country.—Advertisement
Sarajevo, Servia.—Archduke Fran-
cis Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hun-
garian throne and his morganatic wife,
the Duchess of Hohenberg, were as-
sassinated while driving through the
streets of Sarajevo, the Bosnian cap-
ital. A youthful student fired the
shots which added another to the long
list of tragedies that have darkened
the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph.
The archduke and his wife were vic-
tims of the second attempt in the
same day agaipst their lives. First a
bomb was thrown at the automobile
in which they were driving to the
town hall. Forewarned, however, of a
possible attempt against his life, the
archduke was watchful and struck the
missile aside with his arm. It fell un-
der an automobile following whch car-
ried members of the archduke's suite,
wounding Count Von Boos-Waldeck
and Col. Merrizzo.
Charles S. Hamlin of Boston,
now assistant secretary of the
treasury, has been appointed a
member of the federal reserve
board by President Wilson.

Student Fires Fatal Shots
On their return to the town hall,
the archduke and the duchess were
driving to the hospital when Gavrio
Prinzip, a student, darted at the car
and fired a volley at the occupants.
His aim was true and the archduke
and his wife were mortally wounded.
With them at the time was the gover-
nor of the city, who escaped injury.
The bodies of tiis murdered compan-
ions collapsed across him and protect-
ed him from stray bullets.
Prinzip is 18 years old. Nedejo
Gabrinoviyes, who threw the bomb, is
21. He told the police he had ob-
tained the bomb from anarchists at
Belgrade whose names he did not
know.
Archduke Francis, who was heir
presumptive to the throne of Austria,
was born December 18, 1883. His
father, the Archduke Carl Ludwig, was
a brother of Emperor Francis Joseph
and his mother was Maria Annunziatta,
daughter of Ferdinand II of Naples.
Francis Ferdinand was a boy when
his mother died.
In 1853 his father, then past 50,
married Princess Maria Theresa Von
Braganza, 18 year old daughter of
King Miguel of Portugal.
The new stepmother established an
exemplary home. Ferdinand always
held her in high esteem. She and her
daughter, the Archduchess Maria An-
nunzlata, were the only women pres-
ent as witnesses of Francis Ferdi-
nand’s morganatic marriage to the
Bohemian countess, Zophie Chotek,
who later wis elevated to the rank of
duchess of Hohenberg by the emper-
or.
Francis Ferdinand became the heir
presumptive when the Crown Prince
Rudolph, the only son of Emperor
Francis Joseph, met a tragic death in
what is known as the Meyerling trag-
edy, the result of an uncountenanced
love for a young baroness.
Tragedy Follows Tragedy
This final tragedy which has come
to the house of Hapsburg Is the cul-
mination of the personal sorrows
that have overshadowed the life of the
emperor. His reign began with sinis-
ter omens, for he faced internal dis-
sensions and external aggressions
from the moment he came to the
throne. In 1853 the list of tragic in-
cidents began with an attempt on his
own life when a Hungarian named Le-
beny, wounded him with a knife.
Fourteen years later, his brother,
Archduke Maximillian, emperor of
Mexico, was executed. Then followed
the burning to death of a niece in
Vienna, a sister in Paris, and the
death by suicide In Stahrenberg lake
of a cousin.
In 1898 the emperor’s wife, who was
a daughter of Maximillian Joseph,
duke of Bavaria, was stabbed to death
at Geneva by a mad Italian anarch-
ist. They had been estranged for
many' years, but the emperor had
never ceased to show a deep affec-
tion for her.

Issue Now Left to the Rebel and Fed-
eral Delegates; Carranza is Still
Sparring For Time.
Niagara Falls.—An indefinite recess
of mediation was decided upon by Am-
bassador Da Gama of Brazil and Min-
isters Suarez and Naon of Chile and
Argentina, respectively.
This action followed the receipt of
a note from General Carranza ex-
pressing an inclination to participate
in formal conferences with Huerta del-
egates for the solution of Mexico’s
civil problems, but asking for more
time in which to consult his subordin-
ates. The constitutional chief de-
clared he wished to get full authority
from the signers of the plan of Guada-
loupe, the platform of the constitution-
alist movement, so that delegates
might be clothed with plenary powers.
The mediators explained that med-
iation had not adjourned but that
perhaps the last formal meeting had
'been held. Communication hereafter
will be carried on by telegraph.
The mediators consider their chief
work has been done.
They have drawn up a series of pro-
tocols setting forth the conditions un-
der which the United States will rec-
ognize a new government. When a
satisfactory government is established
American forces will be withdrawn
and both international and internal
problems solved simultaneously.
Originally the three mediators ten-
dered their good offices to avert war.
This they think has been accom-
plished. The three envoys think that
in division of the plan into informal
conferences their usefulness is ex-
pended and the question now lies with
the Mexicans themselves.
It is not at all unlikely that when
the constitutionalists and Huerta dele-
gates confer It will be at some place
other than Niagara Falls. The diplo-
mats will not visit the informal con-
ferences unless invited but will be
ready to render such counsel and ad-
vice as may be sought. Whether the
American delegates will be present al-
so is a matter of uncertainty.

HER ABSENT-MINDED HUBBY

They were talking about their hus-
bands over the tea things. Husbands
and the weather supply the same
vacuum between the gales of gossip.
“Theophilus.'you know, is very ab-
sent-minded, and so wrapped up in his
new study of photography that that’s
ay he thinks of. You can’t imagine
the time I have with him.”
She paused a moment to imagine it
herself, while her listener found an
idle interest In creasing the lace ends
with her fingers.
"Oh, this is what I was going to
tell you! Theophilus came out of the
dark room the other evening just as
dinner was set. I says to him:
‘Theophilus, what are you standing up
there rolling that plate of soup
around like that for?’ ‘Just a minute,’
he says to me—‘just a minute. It's
developing nicely. See that high
light coming up?’ ‘High light noth-
ing!’ I says; ‘that’s a cracker. Sit
down!’"
A Century Age.
The trial of ihe editors of the Ga-
zette Universal, which took place in
Madrid 100 years ago, affords an illus-
tration of the severity with which the
freedom of the press was restrained
in practically all of the continental
countries in those days. Ferdinand
VII, who but recently had been re-
stored to the Spanish throne as one
of the- consequences of the overthrow
of Napoleon, had become involved in
serious controversies with the cortes,
the law-making body of the land, be-
cause of the latter’s liberal views. A
revolution appeared to be Imminent
The Gazette Universal printed a state-
ment to the effect that the officers of
one of the Spanish armies had de-
clared their determination to support
the constitution and the cortes. For
thus daring to take sides against the
throne the editors of the newspaper
were condemned by order of the king
to labor six years in the galleys, oa
the coast of Africa.
