The Colonist critiques the Ottawa Victoria railway policy for failing to cooperate with British Columbia authorities. It argues the federal government will ignore BC in railway aid, condemns Dunsmuir for delaying policy, and claims Victoria’s Loan Act provisions shield Ottawa from rail expansion. It accuses officials of crass stupidity and seeks better self-help before federal aid.
Merchants agreed to close Thursday afternoons in May through August and have largely observed it. Early dissenters were urged to violate the pact, but grocers and a subsequent retailers’ meeting backed continuing the half-holiday by an overwhelming majority. The dispute, however, shows lingering attempts to disrupt the agreement.
The piece criticizes local jealousies hindering a proposed Thursday summer half-holiday. It laments lack of trust in Nelson’s young community and urges cooperation for mutual gain. It predicts census guesses around 31,000 and notes the public’s appetite for speculation, despite the discord.
An ad extols Buck- Jen’s Arnica Salve curing corns sprains and skin ailments with a Canada Drug & Book Co guarantee. The piece shifts to critique the Canadian Pacific Company, urging fairer railway policies and noting Manitoba’s past and Ottawa’s ratified contract. It ends with observations on Home Rule and Irish loyalty in Canada.
