The Ou Appelle Progress lists advertising rates and terms. Rates include monthly and yearly options with per line and per word charges. The paper reserves the right to reject ads deemed questionable or inappropriate.
The Board of Trade pushes government to declare Qu Appelle an outport of entry to bolster regional trade. Local merchants complain of delays and argue a local official could handle duties to ease costs. Prohibition factions clash over licenses and beer permits, with calls for legislative restraint and voter decision.
Citizens and Assembly members fault Gov Royal for issuing beer permits without consultation. Critics argue the Lieutenant Governor overstepped prohibitions tied to the Prohibitory clauses, while M P Richardson cautions against creating a precedent that licenses establishments across districts. The debate centers on legislative responsibility and the public vote on prohibition.
A writer to the Progress argues that Mr Richardson elected M T S for Wolseley district pledged to support prohibition yet later acted contrary to temperance promises. The letter claims voters were misled about prohibitions and criticizes the campaign conduct and subsequent decisions in the district.
A letter dated August 28 1888 from Pro Wolseley condemns intoxicating drink sales in the town and accuses Mr Richardson of using prohibition as a political tool. It asks for a satisfactory explanation to dispel the impression of doubles dealing and political gain.
The report notes a near complete slate supporting current law while urging organized action. Lieutenant Governor Royal proposed license permits for four per cent beer, clashing with public sentiment and provoking strong mobilization.
The Winnipeg Sun and THz Quu AP offer a 34 portrait art piece titled Fathers of Confederation depicting leaders like Sir John A. Macdonald and George Brown. The 26 by 34 inch scene shows the 1867 confederation conference in Quebec and ships visible in the harbor. Free with yearly Sun subscription, now $1 per year.
