GREY COUNTY CLUB WILL BE ORGANIZED AT CALGAGRY A meeting of former residents of Grey County, Ontario, was held in the Board of Trade rooms in Cal? gary on April 12 for the purpose of discussing the advisability of organ- izing a Grey Old Boys and Girls’ As- sociation in Calgary. About twenty- tiye former residents of Grey County were present and it was decided to go ahead with the organization of the Association and for this purpose a committee was named to attend to details and draw up a constitution. It was also decided to hold a ban- quet for all former residents of Grey in the near future when the formal organization of the Association will take place. A list of all former res- idents of Grey County is being made up and in order that none may be overlooked it is requested that all former residents of Grey {County living in Calgary or district would forward their names to Mr. I. W. McArdle, 303 Maclean Block, Cal- gary. It is also requested that pres- ent residents of Grey knowing the addresses of former residents now living in the Calgary district would forward them to Mr. McArdle as it is desired to have the list as complete as possible.

I believe they would then want them to do their work. I fail to see where they have anything on either of the old parties as to grafting, and they had their time. I fail to see what great success they made of it.

They forgot, I summse, when they sold their sheep for from 750. to $1.50 apiece, and fourâ€"year-old steers for from $16 to $18 apiece. They forgot when they drew logs out, for seven to twelve dollars a thousand. This all happened in the past. 90c. a cord. and the tree brought me something like $3.20. 'I‘oâ€"da)‘, the some tree would be worth about $35, over ten times as much, and the work is no harder than formerly. The betterroads make the drawing much easier. At the same time I bought a set of plain black harness and it took 33 cords of 22-inch’wood to pay for them. Recently I’ bought. a new brass-mounted set of heavier and better harness, and better ma- terial, for 20 cords of 16-inch wood -â€"â€"and buzz-wood at that.
