I came home to Prince Edward after spending four years in Boston and New York. A little later. a gentle- man named James Higgins. with his wife and small son, came back to visit with his family at Ken- sington. They came from Seattle. Washington. He had quite recent- ly come out of the Klondike where he was pert owner in No. 11 claim on Eldorado Creek. His folks were nearby neighbors and friends. We became close friends and spent much time together. One evening after a particularly successful fish- ing trip. we got to talking about "Why don't you come to the Klondike?" I told! him I didn't have enough cash to make that long a trip. He said. "Dont worry about that. I'll see it was ar- ranged that I should go West with him and family in early spring. We went via Boston. where we stopped over for about two weeks. We left here (P.E.I.) on Feb. 2. Communication with mainland at that time was by ice- brcakers on the Georgetown-Pictcu route.

While the semi-final was in Dro- greaa. Payne came and sat next to me for a few minutes.-l-le told me that he had fought Philadelphia Jack O'Brien six times and that those two iefts were the hardest he ever got. The bout with Payne was only incidental. Had no intention or ambition of , 'ng the dazz- ling ignis fatuus of the "squared circle" any farther. but there are many times when environment and circumstances often interfere with our "destined end or way". It was a great chance to get away from the crowded centres. The course to the Yukon was already set. "The hand was to the plough". so to speak. My brother, who was a mo- torman on the Boston Elevated Street Railway at the time, took a sudden notion to go West too. We bought our tickets at the O.P.R. office on Washington street The C.P. R. had agents and offices in all American cities then and likely has them now. It was- mostly Van I-lorne'e-and other American men- ey which financed the bulldi -,3 of the Canadian Pacific.

There was heavy immigration from Eur- ope. especially from the British Isles. Every train was crowded with immigrants. Calgary was a snug little city of per” 15,000 D0001!!- tion at that time. with considerable growing pains. The distance across the mountains from Calgary to Vancouver is about 750 miles.
The potential underground wealth of the province of Alberta is am- ong the imponderables -- it can't be weighed or measured. only as- timations can be made by geolog- Isis and miningengineers. It stands to reason that they cannot always be right. Nobody is infallible. That was the experience of the Yukon pioneers in the Klondike placer gold digglngs. When the old time prospectors sunk shafts in the eter- hally frozen ground. the panorama of "pay" dirt presenting itself ex- ceeded their most glamorous dreams of wealth. Alberta appears to have an enormous amount of gas. coal and oil in its subterranean (suits The enormous deposits of "tar sand" (bitumen) extending for hundreds of miles near the head- watera of the McKenzie are ca!- culaied to contain 350.000.000.000 (three hundred and fifty billionl barrels of oil in a heterogeneous mixture of tar. sand, oil and many other ele ts.

If that can be accomplished. the British Com- monwealth and the United states will be assured of an adequate SUV ply of oil until atomic energy is sufficiently harnessed to produce driving power, heat. light etc. It is possible that the province of Al- berta has greater potentialities for riches and power than any of the other provinces.
