The Cascade Record announces publication by Willcox and O'Reilly in Cascade City British Columbia. This weekly edition appears with local news and community notices for Cascade City and surrounding area.
The provincial government led by Semlin and Martin is faulted for lavishly spending on a Cascade area road above the Kettle River. A critic cites about 35 dollars in repairs for 80 feet of roadway as proof of misused funds and broken promises of economy. The writer calls for accountability from Victoria and cautions that even small favors are not guaranteed.
Estimates suggest Cuecade and nearby areas have only a small chance of government action on roads and trails. The note outlines modest expectations for improvements and limited funding.
Local publishers raised the issue with J. M. Martin and Leonard Norris about public works funds. Cascade is no longer in East Yale and must press Roseland riding for a share of 15 000 while Hast Yale receives 13 000 and main Kettle River 4 000 seen as unused. Blame arises from shifting electoral boundaries and absent officials.
The Columbia Telephone and Telegraph Co. plans a new line in connection with the Spokane and British Columbia Co. and Inland Co. extending to the boundary from Roseburg. Officials expect improved service soon as crews gather and weather allows.
Canadian capital now controls the great Republic mine fifty miles south of Cascade. The den war made this week on a basis of 2.50 per share for 925000 shares. Spokane stockholders keep some holdings, believing remaining shares will value up to the sold portion. This marks the start of major mineral property deals in this marvelous field.
The Cranbrook Herald notes government workers barred at the Hume hotel in Nelson may remain while Hon J. Fred Hume holds his seat. It says one bye election would suffice, then counters that the hotel is now an incorporated firm able to house the entire government without impacting the minister of mines.
An intruder entered the Fernie Free Press office and fired a shot at the editor after objecting to the door being kicked in. The gunman misfired, and the newspaper published its issue as usual.
The provincial cabinet is restructured with Hon. J Fred Hume removed from the office of provincial secretary but remains minister of mines a key post for a leading mining region.
Assurances say an additional justice of the peace and a small debt court will be established in Cascade soon. It is hoped the attorney-general will not forget the plan.
