cluction of $82,434,422. In the year
1900 the provinces of Saskatehewan
anti Al1aerta7combined bed only 105
establishments with 31;689,870 capital,
1,168 employees and a production of
$1,964,987. The rapid growth of Al-
berta industry since that time is re-
corded in the quinquentatal censas of
1910 and 1915. 'The number of estab-
