A letter argues dog fish may prey on salmon and cites incidents in Cape Breton and harbor sightings. The writer questions limited scientific study and urges Fisheries Department action including prizes for discovering causes and methods to curb fish losses. A Scottish hook and bait method is mentioned as imported, with uncertain results.
Telegram and Herald attack the Governor for weeks while the public remains indifferent. An article from the Chronicle argues the Governor cannot win over Liberal papers, illustrating a satire about a judge’s fairness and biased trials as a joke on partisan politics and media bias.
In a colonial voice the High River Times laments modern maidens and pleads for bygone style. It contrasts worn hairdos and fashion shifts with a call for natural, sensible dress and a figure deemed by nature. The piece then notes booming fish shipments and busy merchant activity.
The Telegram and Herald attack the Governor over Coaker Morison memorials and insist his usefulness is ended. Past governors faced similar campaigns from Bondite papers. Sir Terence O'Brien, Sir Herbert Murray, Sir Henry McCallum, Sir William MacGregor, and Sir Ralph Williams were denounced as their usefulness faded, only to receive higher appointments later.
A letter lauds Adjt Hiscock and Mrs Hiscock for civic work, urging welcome return to town. A Chora Society picnic on Tramp Island ended with a motor boat hitting a shoal rock near Shoal Tickle. A subsequent court case over alleged indecency on the bridge was dismissed for lack of proof, with a warning of punishment for future incidents.
