Sunset Ranc,h, Alberta,
.. May iste 1922.
-Dear People at Home, .
There are -so many things to tell
you regarding this new country that I
hardly know where to start. I have
already written all about our trip out
here as far as -Edmonton, so I needn't
go over any of that again. I stayed
at a hotel there for -three weeks while
Will, (I like this name. better than
Bill) travelled hundreds of. miles look-
ing .for a place he thought would suit
us. There are a great many properties
for sale, so he had plenty of choice.
Some people told hitn he was crazy
to think of investing in a ranch, at
present, as. the United States tariff
has ruined the cattle trade with that
country, and the -high freight rates
Prevent the shipment of caetle to Brit-
ain at a profit. Will's idea was, how-
ever, that now is the very best time
to buy property in the West, because
lend and stock are _about as slow in
the West as they can get, and the
next change must be for the better.
We have '640 acres of deeded land and
I hai-dly know how muchleasehold,
btit I can ride miles and miles on my
pony andneverbe off our own ranch.
I think it is a lovely- conntry with the
sprettig- flowers carpeting the prairie,
the cattle feeding in the Valleys, the
gtorious sunshiny days •and the air
so clear and pure that mountains fifty
miles away seem almost at our door.
Will bought our ranch from aheaem-
eeican who wanted to go back to
Uncle Sam'country. He said rartefie
ing was alright but too slow for him,.
he thought he would go to Texas and
invest in oil stocks. We got a bargain
from him- as he was anxious to sell,
and .buyers with the cash are scarce
at present. We have a very comfort-
able house with modern conveniences
and -I ain now nearly settled. Every-
thing in the boxes came through with-
out a break, but I musr"fess up" that
I am sometimes a wee bit horneaick,
when I see the peetty and useful
things all around me that-. remind me
of the dear people in Old Ontario, ,
Our nearest neighbor, a bachelor, is
a pile away, and the. nearest woman
two miles, but she is a dear, and we
try to see each other every day, and
telephone whenever we feet lonesome:
She is English andoften rode to
hounds in the old country, so she has
been teaching me a lot of things about
how to ride a horse properly. , We
have some fine stithes together, and
Will says he knows I arn perfectly
safe' when, I alai out with her as she
is equal to any entergency. Her hus-
band was four years at the war, and
she managed the ranch while he was
away, and made a lot of money too.
Her oldest boy is now only eighteen,
and her oldest ,girl, sixteen, so they
were mere children when her husband
enlisted. 1 nearly foegot to tell you
her name, it is afrs: Ehnsleigh and she
calls their ranch "Seven Oaks" after
an uncle's estate in England, she has
a delightful English accent, and I love
to hear her talk, almost as well as I
always liked to hear dad getting elo-
quent on politics in his Irish brogue.
l3y the way everybody seems to be
Progressive out here.It is hardly
considered respectable to be a Grit'or
a Tory.
I must close now as' I have to get
the dinner ready for the men and Mrs.
Elrasleigh and I are going riding this
afternoon.
With love to all, from
Katie. -
