COCHRANE RANCH GOES TO MORMANS

Montreal, Jan 27, - Application recently granted by Justice Davidson in the 
superior court marks the further invasion of Mormons in the Canadian west. The 
application was for the voluntary liquidation of the Cochrane Ranching Co. 
Limited of Alberta, the principle owner of which are messrs James Cochrane of 
Crompton, Earnest Cochran of Boston, and Charles M. Hunt of Montreal. The object 
of the application is to allow the final handing over of the business to Bro. 
Joseph A. Smith chief apostle of the Mormons. The ranch covers 70,000 acres in 
Alberta and the purchase price is said to be over half a million. The Mormons 
will form a settlement there and cultivate the land.
