Such is the setting for the ranch acquired by the Prince of Wales in Alberta, This property, for many years owned by Mrs, Bedingfeld, adjoins the fdfmous Bar-U ranch, owned by Mr. George Lane, who entertained th¢ Prince in September, 1919, and who negotiated the transaction by whieli the heir to the British throne became a farmer and rancher, A more charming situatian could not be found. In the West are the snow-capped mountains, to the north and south are the rolling foot hills and the gentle slope of the prairies to the east. Winding its way through the estate is the Highwoéd river, a crystal-clear mountain stream where there are choicest fish, the cut- throat trout. To the west, in the higher«féothills and Rocky Mountains proper, are found deer, bear, par- tridge, the big mountain grouse, and ot! game, On the ranch, the praifie chicken flourish. In every (direction, from thé ranch house, stretch Inviting" glades, carpeted in summer with luxuriant grass and brilliant flowers. After his visit to the Bar-U ranch, the Prince ex pressed the wish to spend twenty- four years instead of twenty-four hours there, and the lure of it all impelled him fo leap from his bed, in the grey dawn of his first morning there, jump through the windot., un- known to his attendants and walk five miles to the rising sun and back | again. His Royal Highness saw vis- fons that morning and the culmina- tion of the impression that was made was the acquisition of the Bedingfeld ranch. Mw Lane took the Prince attendants, beyond his body servant, were permitted to go. It was simply a family party with Mrs. Lane gs hostess. The prince, exhausted with a lengthy round of formalities, liter- ally revelled in the experience--it was, to him a delightful fairyland. The cow-boys, ma of whom, had served overseas pre already met the Prince, were his chums. The round-up, the cutting-out, the brand- ing, the old trails, the clear skies, the vast distances, were all a clear delight--is it any wonder the Prince was impressed ? In 1883, Mrs, Bedingfeld, on her first horseback journey through the foothills, in search of a western home, was captivated by the entrance ing environment of what is now the "E. P." Ranch, and homesteaded the property, adding from time to time, until 1,800 acres were acquired. In addition to this, 20,000 acres of leased land passes into control af the royal purchaser. Recently the Prince of Wales ship- ped by Dominion Express from Eng- land a number of horses and ponies for his new Canadian ranch. The] animals were landed in Montreal from the C. P. O. 8. ship "Montcalm". At the dock's side, box cars built especially for the royal horses by the Dominion Express company, were waiting for their passengers, fregirin red paint and with the walls {inted in soft greys. Pitner lights, and run- ning water in the troughs were a few of tie arrangements prepared for the transfer of the horses to the prince's ranch near Calgary. On floors were scattered quantities of sterilized shavings. |. H. W.
