SUNNY SOUTHERN ALBERTA
EXTREME COLD WEATHER in THE
ALBERTA REGION AND RE-
PORTS INDICATE 80 PER
CENT CATTLE LOSS

Granville Record: Mortana and
North Dakota are not suffering from the
cold as badly as the country across the
international boundary to the north.
Cattle on the ranges of Saskatchewan
and sunny southern Alberta" are per
ishing by the thousands and stock rails
ers of that district will experience a
heavy loss before spring, according to
F Day, Of Medicine Hat, who is
quoted in the Fargo Forum.
Mi. Day comes from a place which is
noted as being the coolest on the north
west weather map, but he says that it
is not the intense cold which is making
the trouble for the stockmen but the
deep SHOWS. The snow is so deep on
& the ground that it. is impossible for the
cattle to find food, and as the ranchfnen
are not accustomed to supplying them
with any, they are dying off rapidly
That fully 80 per cent of the cattle in
that part Of the country will perish be
fore spring is the prediction Of Mr.. Day
AS cattle raising is an important indus
try there this will mean the loss of a
large amount of money to the residents
of that district. u. >.s#. &.
