Golden Board of Trade Drives Local Progress in District
A local critic claimed the Golden Board of Trade never helped the district. The board reports $10,000 spent on Columbia River navigation improvements and a bi weekly mail service to Windermere. The province may match Dominion funds for Kicking Horse River work, and road, telegraph, and other services are planned. A Le Roi ore body claim of $100 million and Rothschilds offer of $30 million are cited as possible milestones for Golden.
