The Dominion election is set for early November. The article questions public funding of the Grand Trunk Railway project and contrasts private profits with public control, criticizing Liberal Ottawa for treating Kootenay as inaccessible. It also reports the Rossland Evening World shutting July 9, and explains local press dynamics in towns with rival parties.
The piece argues that in small communities like Kootenay a newspaper survives only with broad backing. It notes the Rossland World and Ymir Mirror suffered due to partisan clashes and sectioned support. It condemns vituperation and insinuations while praising outspoken yet fair criticism.
The article notes copper stays around 124 cents per pound as new districts open in Arizona and Lake Superior money pours in. Demand keeps pace with rising production, with annual consumption near 100 million pounds, suggesting prices may rise and a new Calumet & Hecla may be needed each year.
