Local gypsum deposit to gain from coast boom deal and logs fraud
A Vancouver jury found William McNair guilty of fraudulent conversion of 2007 from a log boom belonging to J. W. Bell. McNair arranged with Errington Lumber to take two log booms, sold one to Union Shingle, and diverted funds to G. Abernethy. He then pursued a gypsum deal at Granbrook, neglecting Walker, and was arrested on Bell's information. Justice Gregory remanded him for sentence. Soldier settlers in western provinces are improving financially, says L. B. Boyd of the Soldier Settlement Board after tours of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
