It was a mine disaster on December 9,1910, in which thirty men perished. It is said great discontent arose from the manner in which the Trust and Guarantee Company settled the miners' claims. Who were "The Three Mad Cossacks?" A train robbery between Lethbridge and Cranbrook led to a bloody shoot-out in the quiet town of Bellevue during prohibition days. On August 2nd, 1920, Tom Basoff, George Arkoff, and Ausby Holoff robbed passengers of several watches and about $400. They escaped and headed in the direction of Coleman, but soon split up after a dispute John over the best way to evade detection. Holoff headed for the United States, while the other two continued east. Four hundred dollars was a lot of money in those days, but Palliser nothing compared to the money it is said they missed; ten thousand dollars which Emilio Picariello had stuffed under the cushion of his seat on the train. Premium Basoff and Arkoff, the two who remained on this side of the border, seemed in no hurry Liquor to escape. They made their leisurely rounds of the towns in the Pass and visited a house of ill-repute in Blairmore. In Bellevue, they had a few drinks at a club and attended a dance. On the morning of August 7th, they strolled down the street and stopped to read a wanted poster for their arrest. On the fifth day after the robbery, the men stopped at the Bellevue Cafe for coffee. (Today it is known as the Bellevue Restaurant on the corner of 213 St. & 24 Ave.) Although they took a curtained booth near the front door, Basoff was recognized because he had a glass eye. The law was quietly notified, and officers who were scouring the countryside, converged on the little cafe.

Dr. Tony Russell Associate Professor Ph.D. Chair, Thesis Examination Committee ABSTRACT Modern studies in phylogeography integrate many once-disparate scientific fields. This study investigated terrestrial mountain snails, Oreohelix spp., in southern Alberta using DNA markers and the recent emergence of the trematode parasite Dicrocoelium dendriticum. Large-bodied snails in Cypress Hills (CH) and the Rocky Mountains (RM) formed three clades within the species complex O. subrudis. One was geographically widespread, one was restricted to one region in the RM, and one was restricted to CH. Small-bodied snails in CH were determined to be O. cooperi, a rare Oreohelid thought to be imperilled in the western U.S.A. Phylogeographic analyses determined that snails likely colonized and came into contact in CH due to its glacial history.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
