Memories of Early Days in Cromarty
In 1679 James Johnston and family journeyed from Ottawa to Fort Pelly in a sparsely settled wilderness near the Assiniboine. They built Boggy Johnston's Stopping House and were among the first white settlers, as railways and settlements spread, from Grandview to Cromarty, with early neighbors and stores forming along the new routes.

He warned the economic system based on profit sustains controls unless shifted to cooperation.

He notes winter milk and cream costs strain farms, suggests back to the land and beef calves as cheaper milk substitutes, and calls farmers the least worried class about milk and margarine issues.
