RIGHT: The veranda of the " Brick House" on the Sar-nia
Ranch, four miles south of Walsh. The house was
built in 1905 or earlier. There were three main floors
and an attic, where dances were held. J . A . Grant,
seated at the right, came from Sarnia, Ontario. He
drilled some of the early gas wells in Medicine Hat
area, around 1890. He also test- drilled the Gait coal
beds at Lethbridge before the Gait Company
developed its mines. He later took a steam- engine drilling
rig to Waterton Lake and started to drill on " Oil
Creek" on the way to Red Rock Canyon. The rig, the
first in the area, burned, so he went into sheep ranching
and later raised cattle and horses. Seated with Mr.
Grant is Mrs. Grant's mother, his daughter Mrs. Beat-tie
and his grandson Jack. Mrs. Grant is on the veranda.
The rug in front was made from a coyote hide
tanned by Metis. MIDDLE LEFT: Charles Adair's
two- storey house of squared logs and homemade
shingles built on the banks of the Pembina River at
Sunnybend. MIDDLE RIGHT: Water closet, biffy,
back house, toilet, little house out back — by any name
it would smell the same. It was in common use until
the 1950s. Eaton's catalogue furnished the tissue. BOTTOM:
The Doc Hays dairy farm south of Carstairs
1918. Milking began at 4: 00 A . M . and 120 cows were
milked by hand by eight men.
