In the Dominion land grants there numerous Carscaddens. The only one
near Wapella was Robert James on part SW section 22 twp 12 range 33
meridian W1 This would have put him near a place that was known as
Kelso. Of course land may have also been purchased from others.

Others:

Saskatchewan
Twp22 R3 W3
Twp37&39 R28 W3
Twp39 R27 W3
Twp3 R7 W2

and Alberta
