Cranbrook Board of Trade Pushes Lead Bounty and Timber Licenses
In a April 19 special meeting the Cranbrook Heart of Trade urged prompt settlement of the Fermie coal strike via Ottawa action. Delegates advocated extending lead bounty for five years and increasing pig lead duty, plus timber license policies and conservation. A Moyie convention endorsed measures including timber land reservations and longer license life, with debate on fire protection and royalty steps. The group lauded Ottawa delegates for progress and stressed the district’s need for sustained trade policy and board activity.

Corbin’s Railway Charter Faces Legislative Battle in Vancouver
J C Corbin of Spokane has a charter for a railway closely paralleling the Southeast Kootenay line. The bill passed a Victoria committee and moves to the legislature where Vancouver owners of the existing charter vow fierce opposition. Vancouver holders deny any sale talks and say they have funds to build and meet government requirements. An earlier reconciliation attempt failed.
