' A well-advertised rush has started to a new oil field in the Mackenzie River country in Canada, dose to the Arctic Circle, and seems likely ty have many ■■ characteristics and results in many,"ex-'. periences similar to those of the gold rush to the Klondyke in 1898 and 1899. ■> But this latest oil rush.(says tfie American World's Work) has characteristics; unique in the history of such stampedes. ' For one thing, aeroplanes are playing a part in it and modern, tractors, are being used to haul flat boats over the portages that are necessary in the two thousand ; mile journey by river from the railway, at Peacfe River Landing, Alberta. -■.-•■.'.■ The immediate cause of this rush was the "discovery" of oil last summer by the Imperial Oil Company of Canada, a "•• subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.' During the last;t\vo sum- . . mers this company has had geologists f '■ - and drillers searching for the source of, the natural oil springs, .noted by Sir,' . Alexander Mackenzie nearly , a century . and a-half ago, when he discovered, the river which bears his name. Last August a "gpsher" was brought in by these hardy Argonauts forty miles! south of Fort-Norman on the river, about 450 mile? from its mouth atv the Arctic Ocean and only ISO miles south of the ■'l Arctic Circle. A new oil field had been discovered to help meet the world's grow-: ing demand for petroleum products. That a Standard Oil Company wdnt in search of this oil is a, good indication ' that some way will be foi^lid to get it out, provided the" size of.the-' field justifies the expenditure neceashvy to build a pipe line or establish other means of transporting it. Herein is an.important difference between/a gold rush beyond; the frontiers of- civilisation ami an oil rush that goes farther than the wellestablished lines of transportation. An • unlimited quantity of oil at the Arctic: Circle is of no value to anyone, unless it can' bo brought to the rnarfiets of th* world, and it is of no value to the owner unless it can be carried at si. cost that leaves him a profit when, sold in competi- . tior> with oil from more accessible fields. That is why the development of many foreign oil fields waits upon'the advance „ . in price of petroleum .products. ( ■ But these considerations do not retard adventurous souls from booking up many months ahead all the' available pnssaso space on the Peace, Riycr t and Mackenzie Rivrr padHle-wheel steamers for the bvo ■ oi- three short months of river traffic which opened in Ma.\\ Tin's rush for oil into the frozen Noi-th' is likely to be n■ .. centre, of interest for some time to come. It has more romance yid adventure in it than nny other oil boom we have, hat 1 yet. I'sn by tho Standard Oil Company of airplanes' to transport men and matpvials into this North country adds a distinctly modern flavour to it that stirs the imagination.v Sir. William Hall-Junes is deriving much pleasure -from, his visit to England (writes The Post's London correspond-- ■ ent).\ He is going about quietly, looking up old friends, and h; has been to good minis' •of the .principal functions of the reason. Now h« is about, to &tavt ror ScotlaniJ. Connitu-utl with the time when he was "officially in London, Sir William has, his friends are glad to observe, taken on a now lease of life. ' ' "The, business men of London are not such fools as-to put their sons to such a.'.rotten profession as preaching," said Dr. Ingram, Bishop- of London, in a speech advocating .better pay for clergymen-. "By, their 'niggardly support o*.-., the Church at the present time," h* added, ."the" people of England ar« , undnrmininor Mm miniidrv it.colf " < „,,
