one of the great problems of the day
is to supply the demand for meat at
reasonable prices. AS the great ranges
of the west are one after another trans
formed into farms and settlements, the
problem becomes more complex Tor
Americans. because each year il be-
comes more profitable to raise crops
than cattle AS a consequence, The men
who make a business of raising cattle
in large numbers are driven farther
and farther out each year to md
ranges.
"A Stockman's Paradise" is the APP
nronriate name given TO a large tract
of admirable cattle range just coming
into public notice in Canada. just across
the line from Montana. This range IS

There is a widespread delusiOn that
the winters are extreme in Canada.
This is not true as to southern Alberta.
Here the climate is the mildest and
most pleasant in the whole northwest

parts of Montana. Intense cold is COM

Mr.. kennedy is one of the best
known contractors throughout the in

everything on a big scale, whether II

Sewers a Speciality.
If there is any speciality with which
he can be associated in his gigantic
undertakings it may be said to be the
building of sewers. The work which
has been done by him in this city has
already added to the valuation OF the
property within the district in which
il was completed by more than 100 per
cent in some cases. There is much
more to be done by him this year with

many districts which were pronouncec

these places have been transformed
into Veritable garden spots. and homes
have sprung up all over the city where
the sewerage has been installed by MS
methods.
