A deal has been closed between the Imperial Oil people and Alvo von Alvensleben, Limited, whereby there was transferred to the oil company nearly one hundred acres of land directly across from Barnet, several miles up the inlet from Vancouver. The consideration named in the transfer was $150,- 000. An official statement as to the cousummation of the deal for the land and the plans for the Brit- spent ish Columbia oil refinery, has been given out by Mr. C. M. Rol- ston, manager of the Imperial Oil Company for British Co- lumbia. Immediate work is to siart, it is understood. Plans for the im- provement of the property in- clude a wharf from 700 to 800 feet long, of steamers crude oil for capable of taking car> which will bring refining. A refin- ing plant such as will meet the needs of the Western Canadian business and the increasing de- mand for oil products will mean a large outiay of money, prob- ably more than $500,000 on the start, and the employment of from 100 to 200 persons. At the beginning the refinery v ‘ll hancle only the crude oils of California and Mexico, The Stan- dard Oi] Company is continually reaching: out and searching new oilfield possibilities, and Mana- ger Rolston said that his com- —USE OF OIL FUEL. 1S INCREASING pany will do everything possibie to develop the oil fields of Brit- ish Columbia. In this connec- tion the interests are planning the development of the oil fields of Graham Island, where boring is now going on by one company and several olher companies are preparing for the prosecution of development this spring and summer, Something like 750,000 barrels of fuel oil are now being used annually in British Columbia. This oil comes from California duty free. These figures do not include the consumption of fuel oil by the Canadian Pacific, Rail- way Company, which has a pri- vale contract for supply from the Union Oil Company of California, the largest purveyors of this character of oil. Some 25,000 barrels of other erude oil, such as coal gasoline, are also used annualiy in this provitiee. On the latter the duty is heavy and the freignt alone amounts to from 11 to 43 cents a gallon. The’ Imperial Oil Company, when the refinery is completed, plans to bring in the Standard Oil ships the crude oil from’Cali- fornia and Mexico, From this will be made fuel oil, and such other products as may be profit- ably extracted and for which the market in British Columbia is growing at a tremendous rate. It is expected that by the tinfe the refinery is running there will tave been adjustments of freight rates which will open to the re- finery in British ‘Columbia the markets of the prairie and mid- dle west provinces. : GUARDED BODY OF DEAD SISTER THREE WEEKS Shocking Djscovery Made When Police Enter Room in Los Angeles -Apartment House Angeles, Cal., Feb. 3—- Hours of diligent investigation brought to the police little light upon the apartment house death Miss Nanette Los mystery, whereby Warren, aged 45, was found in her room closely guarding — the body of her sister Mary, who had been dead apparently for twenty days. The siluation was revealed when the apartment house pro- prietor became apprehensive, realizing that the door of the Warren apartment had not been opened for three weeks. He was confronted »by Miss Nanette, who desperately fought to retain the body of her sister. A half empty chloroform bot- tle was found in the apartment, creating the belief that perhaps Miss Mary Warren, who was 50 years olf. had not died natur- ally, and there was evidence that her sister had not eaten for more than a week, apparently in an effort to starve herself to death. At first it was believed that the women were in_ straitened cirevmstances, but the police found in the rooms a quantity of expensive gems, jewelry and clothing. Surgeons al. the police receiv- ing hospital had to feed Nanette Warren forcibly last night. The woman, however, consented to eat today. Her mental condition precluded any effort to obtain from her a statement concerning the death of her sister and her three weeks’ vigil beside the body. Love is like the measels, all the worse when it comes late in life.
