They fire following the example of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, owning largo tracts of land in Alberta and British Columbia; .Lord Somers (late of Life Guards) and Lord and Lady Hyde, farming. noair Toronto; Lord Sholto Douglas, fruit-farming in British Columbia; Hon. Edward Cole, owning the largest hotel in Saskatoon; Earl of Stanhope; Mr. , Reginald Wyndham (brother of Lord Leconneld); Lord Aberdeen, who has fruit-farming, interests on the Pacific slope; Lord Clanwilliam and Lord Hindlip, big Canadian land owners.
