He did not favor the parade of the police about the city with firearms slung in their belts. It was too military and the countries should be through with that by now. The matter of the vacant property which had Teverted to the city was discussed by Mr. Black who thought it would be a good thing to have these lots sold on terms to people In order that they might bring revenue. If at all possible It might be a good thing for the city to let buyers have these lots for the payment of one year's taxes provided a suitable residence was built thereon and the owner retained the property for sometime.

If elected, to carry out their wishes In the mat er As a new man, it was not for htm t. decide the issue which had been left to the people. SOME QUESTIONS Te chairman then asked if there vm any questions which cry one desired to ask of the mayor or other candidates. J. Squlrechuk asked ar to the promised improvement in the c'nder path to the dry dock which was used by a large number of men. Some men with rakes had been sent down when men with shovels were needed. The mayor. In reply, thought that the path had been placed in shape and, If not, then it would not be long until It would be attended to. Paddy Sullivan rose and spoke of the city taking some action In having local men employed instead of outsiders who often were not citizens of the country. The meeting was obviously over and the people did not tarry to hear the re mainder of what the speaker had to say. COMPANY HAS BIG PROGRAM PROSPECTING MAKLAND OIL CO.

As extensive field work to to be conducted, it will be leeessary to make tests from time to time of the samples sent in by geologists. "We feel that there to a real need jf such a laboratory and do not intend 10 make any charge for 'doing work toother people as alt of us may profit by the information obtained." said Mr. Ruby. .till IX IIEI.II WOltK . .The Importance of having an aeroplane for aiding in field work is also recognized by Mr. Ruby. He says that nothing definite will be done 'in tim respect until some further Information is obtained from the airmen who are coming up from High River, the fact that Edmonton now has a municipal aerodrome means that a plane can be easily operated from here. It would ! probably carry a geologist and other i Is in charge of operations. He says I members of a crew so that Important that .several hundred thousand dollars 1 field work could be done In difficult will be spent in geological work In the sections of the country. four western provinces this year, but' STAIT OK OEOLOOISTS there will not be any actual drilling In Some 24 geologists will be sent out to 1927.

Pouce Coupe country, another will workj the foothills belt in the southern part; of Alberta and thence north, and j another will be engaged at work In the Llard river region and In northern British Columbia. Parties will also be at work In Manitoba and Saskatchewan so that the whole of western Canada will be tested out in a drive for geological Information and this will be done on a scale that has never been previously attempted. .MAP CASHIAK DISTRICT The plan also involes the mspplnf at the Oassiar district In British Columbia. This region is largely unknown, so far as structure is concerned, and It is possible that arrangements will be nude with the dominion government to co-operate In carrying on geological work in this section. "It is our plan to confine the work to geological activities throughout this year.' said Mr. Ruby. "We will observe 'lutcropplngs and rock structures tn certain area and later on the Information will be assembled so that we can decide upon the next step In development. It should not be assumed that we are going to drill for oil tn a certain place Just because we might -.end a party In to look over the forma--ton tn that district." Even If the company should later m drill a hole that proved to be dry, h-' information obtained might be worth thousands of dollars from a geological viewpoint, stated Mr. Ruby. in a few days or so Mr. Ruby will leave for Ottawa where he will take up certain matters with the federal fov-erament. He also plans to visit the scene of a new strike at Orandvlew. Manitoba, as he considers that this Is something of importance to western development plans. During the past few months the local tafT has been engaged at compiling Information from logs of various wells and official reports . The reports by Dr. Hume have been regarded as particularly valuable while extensive work by other on authorities in Alberta bu .tlao been closely studied " TERMINALS HAVE GOOD LEAD OVER GROTTO, BILLIARDS With one game still remaining to be played between Ohai Balagno and J.

The contract calls for a bout between July I and January 1, and provides that Tunney Is not to fight In the meantime.
