The pamphlet begins by discussing the great agriculture industry surrounding Athabasca. Claims are made regarding the great growing conditions for cereals and vegetables, and especially wheat. In 1911, wheat grown near Athabasca won first place in the Edmonton Exhibition. The great milling timber that grows along the Athabasca is also promoted in this pamphlet. The Board also discusses the natural gas that has been found in the Athabasca area, and claims that "this asset alone is a sufficient one to make Athabasca a city". The Board also predicts that being the "Gateway to the North Country" will in fact give the town a lot of traffic, with people travelling through on their way north, to places such as the Arctic Circle. There were two steamboats being built in Athabasca at this time by the Hudson's Bay Company, and talks of the railroad arriving. The document lists all of the businesses currently operating in Athabasca, as well as those that are still needed. There is also a brief explanation/history given of each of the businesses currently operating in Athabasca (18 pages) Text Arctic Arca (BC's Digital Treasures) |
