With practically all the preliminary details arranged and announcement of the bi banquet, dance and round-up in full circulation through the country, requests for reservations have been pouring in from outside points. We have eventually established the fact that the organization embraces all the old timers of Southern Alberta, and that it is not a Calgary organization only. This is going to be the biggest year we have ever had “Harold W. Riley the secretary, declared during an interview with the Herald on Monday Morning.
