There is a book that is available online from the University of Calgary called "St. Lina and Surrounding Area" and it's about St. Lina, Alberta and the original families who lived there
( http://ahdp.lib.ucalgary.ca/loc_hist/index.asp?code=lir ). Sideview, Alberta is an area just outside St. Lina.

I checked, and your grandfather, Evan MacPherson is mentioned in the book - note: some of these links are long and will wrap, so you may need to cut and paste them into your browser:

Also, there is a map of some of the original homesteads in the Sideview area and there is a McPherson homestead on the map
http://ahdp.lib.ucalgary.ca/loc_hist/lh_page.asp?Goto=lira02...

So I checked the Alberta Western Land Grants database
http://www.archives.ca/02/02011102_e.html
and found Evan McPherson (his name is spelled "Mc" instead of "Mac" in the database):

I also found Evan's son, Donald's, homestead in the database, which confirms that the McPherson homestead on the Sideview map is the correct:
