Quotations

1888
. . . a certain portion of the press in the east is proclaiming that Alberta is closed to settlement; being parcelled out in grazing leases upon which settlers are not allowed to locate.
1963
. . . these ranchers with their warnings of dry seasons and long years of drought, are liars one and all, thinking only of hanging on to their grazing leases, worried for their creeks and springs.
