' . \ THE DURHAM CHRONIC. $3,355 Winnipeg‘s association with the fur trade in fact goes much farther back. The Old North West Company and the Hudson‘s Bay Company both had trading posts at the mouth of the Assinihoine. and as early as 738 La Veremlrye. the famous Can- adian explorer, had Fort Rouge built. within what is tmlay the cap- ital of Manitoba. Fort Edmonton was an important. distributing point. for the. Hudson‘s Bay Company for its operations on the upper waters of the Saskatchewan, and northto the Athabaska and the Mackenzie RiVer country. Similarly Fort Vic- toria was for years the headquarters of the Company‘s trade on the Paci- fic coast. after Fort Vancouver had been abandoned because of the settlement. of the 49th parallel as the international boundary. One of the things that. links three of our western capitals with“ the days before Confedenation is . the interesting fact that each of them was at one time an important centre. of fur‘trade.
