The correspondent hints Mr. Martin has resigned, shaping a simple path forward.
In the House debate on the Redistribution Bill, Mr. Bostock spoke not on the intended Ontario redistribution but on British Columbia constituency division. His clear, concise points supported Yale Cariboo and Kootenay representation, though the topic diverged from the bill’s aim. The Miner notes the motion as party maneuvering, predicting future consideration two years hence as a constitutional issue.
The Victoria Colonist reviews Atlin’s troubled start with confusion over its provincial status and harsh actions by officials. It notes the Alien Exclusion law, spring labor limits, and hydraulic lease refusals that hinder placer mining, yet asserts Atlin is emerging as a promising district on the continent.
The passage promotes summer remedies to promptly relieve disorders from indulgent eating and drinking. It notes remedies are tried and tested and highlights that they cause no ill effects.
