Berth of Talks and Rail Plans Dominate British Columbia Convention
Delegates at the Associated Board of Trade of Southern British Columbia approve raising annual dues from 15 to 25 dollars. They tour smelting plants and plan next year’s meeting at Kaslo. Liberal meeting in Vancouver pushes Dominion subsidies for Coast-Kootenay rail with McKenzie Mann promises of 100 miles built if subsidies are secured. Attorney General notes a cash subsidy and early contracting, while petitions seek a Coast-Kootenay line to the coast and the British Columbia Southern railway from Crow's Nest to the border.
