The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review."@en, ""@en ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xkootmail/items/1.0181333/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note """ ��������� -M.-W ��������� 1.&&ujv(.)������. m ~rJi. t k R ib" F I' If.b1' P I'M k' $ Ik - w A*- I ''���������WncUl Llbn arp i/?V ' ���������SSv.'
