The Le Pas paper argues for electric light and telephones this fall and criticizes Sunday railway work. It condemns liquor traffic and praises Dr. Elliott's boosting letter for Le Pas. It discusses CN R attitudes, real estate, donations to Ninette Asylum, and forecasts from Elbert Hubbard about Winnipeg and western towns.
A terse public note urges resilience and resolve, warning against panic and urging a brace for a new effort. It emphasizes perseverance, warns against dwelling on loss, and calls for steady leadership and renewed action.
Real estate in Le Pas shows strength despite market stringency as J. M. Wanless sells a new three storey Fischer avenue block to Winnipeg’s H. A. Schultz for 25000. The 50 foot frontage building is valued around 10000 with land worth 300 per foot, a record for town, while Harry A. Preston planned a storey stone building on nearby lot bought for 10000 at 150 per foot.
The Board of Trade met to appoint a committee to draft a memorandum to the CNR on service conditions and to hire staff for telephone applications. A census shows Le Pas population at 1509 with Irish and native totals around 2000. A wharf site was discussed with no action. Next week’s full report will be published.
Frank Cochrane is currently on a railroad inspection tour of the Weet, reviewing lines, schedules, and safety measures. He aims to assess infrastructure, discuss improvements with local officials, and report findings to management.
