J. Colman commenced on Thursday to take the 
census of the four townships belonging to the 
Edmonton and Saskatchewan Land company, lying 
between Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan, not 
including the part within the river survey. The 
census is being taken on behalf of the land 
company.

Statistics of the Edmonton district are being 
taken on behalf of the general government by Mr. 
J. Murphy, Information in regard to the amount 
of improvements, crop, stock, acreage, yield of 
grain, condition of the cattle etc. together 
with a general retrospect of the year is 
desired, rather than such as relates to the 
inhabitants. 

J. Stanton, who has been employed for the past 
year at Lac La Biche, erecting a grist mill for 
Peter Pounder, arrived from that place Saturday 
last. The mill building is erected and the dam 
finished. It now remains for the machinery to be 
put in. It is, hardly likely the mill will be 
running this season.
