White settlers were. [few and ranching was the main in- fdustry. Young: Nlullins joined with. iCochrane and others in starting the, iCochrane ranch in the .\lcl.eod (lis- itrict of Alberta, when 6,050 acres `of land were acquired and 150 bulls {brought from Mexico.

Withi {the coming` of settlers and :<.l101`ta;:ei lof pasturage, difficulty was exper-3 ienced in keeping the cattle within bounds, and it was decided to sell; `out. Mullins went to Salt Lake iCity and sold the land to Brighainl `Young, head of the Mormons, and the 12,000 cattle were sold to Ed- ward Monsol for $240,000. The Waldran ranch of some 10.00 acres was also`, sold. Mr. Mullins sold the cattle to Pat Burns, who had just started an abbitor in Cal- gary, for $26 each, he getting $1 ai head for putting through the deal. Fertility of Land Gone With the coming of settlers the land in the West was ripped up and ifor a few years it produced a crop, " but its fertility is gone. It was a great ranchers county, but all the; area south of the C.P.R.. in Saskat- , chewan and Alberta should never have been plowed up. It is useless now for farming; or ranching. The government talks of building re-I servoirs to hold the moisture, but .ithat would be a useless and expen- ilsive task. The drought years are , apaprently over for now, and there , is lots of moisture this spring`. _iThere have been dry years l)(.`fO1`(- and will be a_;'ain.
