4 Edmonton , Gateway To The North . Incorporated in 1904 and now boasting a pop­ ulation of aI most 500, OOO. Edmonton ians can be prood of the giant strides they have made in all industries , in particular , the music industry. But would you believe that the city of Edmonton began as a Hudson's Bay trad ­ ing post back in 1794 and was named by its builder , George Suther land , after Eng land's Edmonton River . It was in 1807 that the natives got a little restless and had a town roast , that left Fort Edmonton a little worse for wear . In fact , it wasn 't unti I 12 years later that it was dee ided to rebu i Id the fort. It has been learned that to celebrate the re -opening of Fort Edmonton , the settlers and natives threw what must have been the first Canadian Hopsv i I le . It's further reported that missionaries , horse and fur traders, and natives from a11 over the Great North West were attracted to the giant gig. Things were cool for many year& until a cat named Bob Henderson , who was prospecting in the Klondike , got things stirred up in 1896 when he conned George Carmack and a couple of natives , Skookum Jim and Tagish Charlie , into believing there was bread (gold man ) in them thar hills . Charlie , Jim and George panned and dug and panned some more and after two years had gone by , they got a little dis­ couraged and let the cat out of the bag . That was the beginning of the Klondike Gold Rush . It wasn't unti I 1905 that decided to make the country a little bigger and became a Province . Edmonton was already a thriving city and had been incorporated as such a fu 11 year before , therefore became the seat of the Provincial Legislature . It was around this time that a progressive minded young Klondiker is reported to have originated the saying "The 20th Century belongs to Canada" . · Moving into the 20th Century , Edmonton , a city of almost half a million , is now commonly known as "Canada's Oil Capitol" and "Crossroads of the Air". The latter being because of Edmonton's strategic - position on the Great Circle Route to the Orient. The oi I story is wel I known throughout the world . It was the discovery of oi I at Leduc , ;;,. - --- just outside Edmonton , that resulted in Alberta ------oil being carried over the longest pipe line in the world which feeds oil almost 2000 miles ~ into Ontario, with another line over the Rockies . - ~ - ~ into Vancouver .

Although Edmonton- ians are a little cool toward "pop" music, they're fast learning that the young sound is here to stay, thanks to the efforts of radio stations like CHED and CJCA , as well as CFRN and CFRN-TV. Programming of the better Canadian sounds as well as the spotlighting of local groups and artists is meeting a wall of IN PROMOTING EDMONTON TALENT resistance but the Edmonton squares wi II soon realize that there's room for all types of music, I especially in a city that's fast being recognized BARRY ALLEN as the Music Capitol of the West. * Edmonton boasts nine "in town" radio frequencies , two TV Channels , at least WES DAKUS AND THE REBELS fifty regularly working bands , severa I orchestras * and hundreds of soloists.
