Floods and political strife shadow Southern Manitoba in 1902
The April 1902 column notes heavy rains and floods from March 21 to 27, with washouts and widespread damage. It lists political protests against Bangs Disease and various social and economic shortcomings, followed by a party-line vote that crushed opposition. A CPR line flood, a Clydesdale stallion purchase for 2800 dollars, and local civic changes near Russell are briefly mentioned alongside frost, spring building plans, and street life notes.
