:. Prince Albert Base of Supplies
The town of Prince Albert. owing per-
haps to,its outlying position, and not being
within the circle Of the blooming" inter
ests of great financial syndicates, has not
hitherto attained as much notoriety as it
merits for Its considerable and rapidly in
creasing commercial importance, both in
itself and as the center and base of sup
plies of a vast and thriving agricultural
area. Most picturesquely situated on the
north branch of the Saskatchewan. Prince
Albert, In addition to its numerous stores
and business houses, is the seat of various
industries. Three lumber mills are now
kept in full operation; two in the town and
third at Steep Creek, a few miles dis
tant: From these mills large quantity of
lumber is exported by the railway, in addf-
ton to the supply required for the new
buildings which are constantly being
erected in Prince Albert.
- OF flour mills there are two, having each
a capacity of 100 barrels per diem, and
producing quality of flour second to
none. The Prince Albert creamery is an
institution which has now been in opera
ton for several years, and is well pat
ronized and appreciated by the farmers
in the surrounding districts.
I FTince +AiDert, take 1t all IN all, Is a
charming little town picturesque
healthy, cleanly and progressive; while
the surrounding district, extending over
a vast area of the splendid grain growing
land, offers exceptional advantages: pos
sessing. as it does a spendidly fertile soil.
+ a climate healthy in the extreme, and like
other portions of Western Canada, enjoy
ing complete immunity from destructive
cyclones, billiards., etc. The suitability
i>of. this country for agricultural irnIni-
grants requires only to become generally
known; and those seeking information Oh
this subject can surely find no better
guide than the experiences of those who
have gone before; who have tested the
| country, and found it not wanting, and
are now rejoicing in the fullness thereof
