Municipal Ownership At Socialist Club Address
At a Sunday Socialists meeting Magistrate Crease argued for city control of waterworks electric light telephone and street railways as inalienable rights of the people. He praised Nelsons franchise ownership and proposed city staking its Bonnington Falls water power for local lighting and factory power. He warned private ownership can harm communities and cited Toronto streetcar monopolies before a lively discussion.

German Now Forming Colonial Army Proposals Readied
Berlin reports Count Van Buurew quietly shaping measures for a colonial army to be submitted to German states. Emperor William and foreign attaches watched a sham Garde du Corps parade drill as talks, while a St Petersburg correspondent says the czar has ongoing autographic correspondence with the emperor via special couriers. Also notes arrest of PF. G. Fauquier for $100 misappropriation and bail set at $2,500. local officials assess the case as regrettable given Fauquier’s popularity and service. A Homer steamer from Pribilof Islands brings sealskins and whale bone, and a Whitecliffs mail coach is robbed of a passenger and opals valued at $1,100.
