description: The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

It was received by Turner, Beeton &, Co., and piled up alongside the track of the Nelson & l-^orc Sheppard railway, where u portion of it remains to this flay. Premier Turner and attorney- general Eherts, when the question, of in- oorpuratinu Nelson was before the legislative assembly, both w<jre very emphatic in iheir refusal to turn the pipe over to ihe city, when asked that favor, saying thatthe people* of Nelson had cut loose from the provincial govcrnmeutand muse 'pay its own way. This was in March, LSfl7. During tlie fall of 1807 and the spring of ]S0S, the City, of Nelson purchased and paid for part of the pipe, but the manager of Turner, Beeton & Co's house at. Nelson always said, on making the sales, thatthe pipe was sold on provincial government account. It is not unlikely then that the proceeds oflhe sales were t tuned over to the provincial treasury.
