McCord’s Ranch – A Chronicle of Sounding Lake, Pt. 2
By Margaret V. Watt, 748 – East 60th Ave., Vancouver, B.C.
‘The winters of 1903, ’04 and ’05 were fine open winters. The stock cling to the pastures late in the year, and early spring saw them heading for the greening hillsides. But little of the enormous quantity of hay put up during the long summer months against approaching winter had been consumed. To the folks form the South getting settled in a new land, acquainting themselves with new conditions, these first years had been happy years. Hard work had been rewarded with satisfying material progress. The future was bright with promise.’
