Oil operators are sitting in an office at Calgary, hanging on the end of the tele- phone, waiting for the "O.K.", which may mean an oil boom for the West.

Discovery of the Turner Valley pil pool last month, which is now producing 870 barrels of best oil daily, led geologists in the direction of the King's ranch, where a great oil lake is believed to be hidden.

Over 4 hundred wells have been drilled in a frantic effort to find the main lake feeding smaller pools in the Turner Valley.

CATHEDRAL WITHOUT

FOUNDATIONS

-St-Albans, Aug. 15,--- i

The condition of St. Albans Cathe- dral, one of the most Imperiunt specimens of Norman architecture in England, is causing some anxiety.

During the past few years it has 'been noticed that the Interior of the church was becoming very damp, and} this dampness has continued to in- ergase. Recently the Cathedral authorities carried out an Investiga- tion and, as a result of digging by the North wall and transept, it was discovered that the great Norman Abbey had virtually no foundations at all.

"The soil is gravel, the sort of stuff you just throw a brick on und start to build," the Dean of St. Al- bans, the Very Reverend C. C. Thick- nesse, said. "That is exactly what the original buliders of

the

cathedral did in the early 12th Century, and so for it has stood very successfully.

"Unfortunately,

increasing dumpness is getting serious, and we are taking expert advice as to the methods of dealing with it. The cause at the moment is unknown, but it may be due to inadequate drain- age,
