Readying a possible purchase of the existing mill, the plan hinges on two dammed falls on the Assiniboine river to improve water power.

Selling Cheap and Buying Dear
The piece condemns Liberal policies in Manitoba during the winter of the prior year. It alleges grain was dumped to prove the Canada Pacific’s failure, causing farmers to lose wealth as wheat prices rise to $1.25 a bushel in Birtle and seeds and flour become costly. It accuses Liberal politicians and wealthy interests in Montreal and Chicago of profiting while farmers suffer amid winter hardship.

Over the Mountains A Northern Manitoba District Described
A historical sketch outlines a vast tract beyond the Riding Mountains near Lake Dauphin. It notes swift crop ripening despite northern latitude, rich timber along river shores, extensive hay meadows, ample water, abundant fish and waterfowl, and few settlers. The main drawback is lack of an outlet, with a railway anticipated and oil potentially driving development. Remnants of an early exploration party and vanished details about the builders are mentioned.

Wheat freight rates downgraded by Northern Pacific critics
Critics note Northern Pacific fixes Western wheat rates to East at one cent per bushel less than last season and three cents per bushel to transship from Canada Pacific cars to Red River Road. They say Winnipeg goods may come at Canada Pacific rates, questioning the $2,000,000 Yankee railway cost and recalling promises of a ten cent reduction per bushel.
