PRINCE'S CANADIAN RANCH.
OLD ESTATE PURCHASED. [BY TELEGRAPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WHAKATANE, Tuesday. In reference to the purchase by the Prince of Wales of a ranch in Canada, Mrs. J. Envers, an old resident here, said that the Prince had just lately bought from a member of her family a ranch called the Beddingfield Estate, in Alberta, Canada.
"It is one of the oldest ranches," she continued, " having been taken up in 1883, and consists of 1600 acres of firstclass lanS, freehold and leasehold. The Prince intends to stock it with purebred Shorthorn cattle, purebred Shropshire sheep, and thoroughbred horses, from one of his farms in England, someone from the ranch having been sent to England to select the most suitable animals. Ex-service men, both Imperial and Canadian, will be employed on the ranch, and here the Prince hopes occasionally to make his home."
