A critique of expert testimony in civil and criminal cases grows as judges and juries distrust scientific witnesses. The piece cites Judge McMahon condemning expert evidence in the Gerald Sifton murder trial and New York’s Molineux case over handwriting analysis. It argues experts are too partisan and urges limiting expert input to essential analytical findings.
Nicholas Flood Davin’s career, marked by early promise and sharp intellect, ended in tragedy in Winnipeg on a Friday night. A war correspondent for the London Times and London Standard during the Franco Prussian era, he was wounded at Montmedy. Davin held titles in English and Ontario bars and served as a barrister in the Northwest Territories.
The piece profiles Hudson's Bay Company commission links and Dominion inquiries into Indian industrial schools, notes secretaries of royal commissions on CPR and Chinese immigration, and details the literary and political career of Mr. Davin along with his tragic end. It also discusses trade balance with the United States, Winnipeg river water power rulings, and a ministerial plan to limit speculative land grants while promoting development.
The Vancouver World reports editorials show Mr A W Smith M L A wavering on the Dunsmuir Martin Brown compact. The Lillooet Prospector quotes him claiming to support the government as long as it serves West Lillooet, implying motives tied to political gain rather than principle.
Coal from East Kootenay ships to Spokane via Bonners Ferry route and competes with Roslyn and other Washington collieries. The Great Northern plans a Jennings Mont branch into East Kootenay fields, finishing in about six months, enabling cheaper, stronger Canadian coal to dominate Spokane and nearby markets. Western Washington remains harder to reach due to mountain haul and west slope coal supplies. The piece notes Washington’s trade balance favors the U.S. but urges American readers to act.
An editorial style notice rebutts fad diets, urging a correct diet to nourish all parts of the body and warn that digestion issues ruin nutrition.

It also touts Green's Special Almanac and Lipton's Tea as top products.
