Hill monopoly fears stir British Columbia politics
The Nelson Tribune notes rising opposition to James J Hill through Crow's Nest Coal Co plans and a railway link to U S lines. It argues federal and provincial action to curb monopolies, support public franchises, and consider Coast-Kootenay road while warning against subsidy seekers and costly trails. It cites Kamloops, Ashcroft, and Horsefly diggings debates and hints at announcements in Victoria and Edmonton about Canada Northern access. The Hastings Shingle Mill Co plans a Vancouver site build with a 1,000,000 daily shingles capacity and potential expansion by 250,000.
