Enterprising Citizen J T Nault Expands Local Interests
An enterprising citizen, J T Nault, plans multiple ventures this season. He will run a hostelry in town, operate a second at Wilson Creek with a large store, and likely secure the contract to clear the townsite and build a new wharf. He will establish camps along the N S R right of way to board rail workers. The Inland Construction Co. may entrust Nakusp mercantile interests to him, to manage as construction on the Nicola Valley Railroad begins. His broad enterprises position him as a major local employer, with wages circulating in town.
