	The Provincial District of Alberta
		Of the four provisional districts which comprise the organized territory of the Canadian Northwest, viz: Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Athabasca, Alberta is undoubtedly the "banner" district of the four.
		Between thirty and forty thousand square miles of the district are admirably suitable to mixed farming, a branch of agriculture which can be pursued with great profit owing to the shortness and comparative mildness of the winters and the excellent grasses.
		Edmonton is situated on the north branch of the Saskatchewan in the center of a rich farming district, and McLeod is situated in the center of the rich grazing country before described.

	\| In This Issue \| Law and History Review, 17.2 \| The History Cooperative
		Robert Baker, a doctoral candidate at UCLA, uses the settlement as a site for critical exploration of the meaning of "law and order" on the Canadian frontier and for an investigation of the sources from which legal history might be rewritten as the history of legal culture.
		Examination of Assiniboia's juridical institutions in action reveals a history formed less through the imposition of authority from above than by obtaining support from below.
		Baker shows that the legal history of the Red River settlement—and, by extension, of the Canadian West in general—is a story of local legal culture in formation, dependent for its viability on community notions of law, justice, and reason.
