But a fortnight ago, Comanche's undertaker, a chubby, balding go-getter named Glen Boydstun, decided to put the town on the map.

...week in the rocketing Alberta oil boom. A public auction of government-owned oil and natural-gas leases totaled $12,881,436, surpassing the previous record for a one-day sale by more than $3,000,000. One of the leases, for a 160-acre plot in the Bonnie Glen field southwest of Edmonton, was sold to the Texaco Exploration Co. for $3,110,000, the highest price ever paid for a single parcel of Alberta oil land...
