    “I heard of land being thrown open in this area. I went to the land office in Calgary and stood in line from eight at night till the office opened in the morning in 35 degree below zero weather. In this way, I attained a quarter section homestead and later bought a quarter section from Bob Roberts. I arrived at Acme and Mr. Near met me with a team of Mr. McGhee’s horses.”
