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.

The object bylaw which has the introduction frontage tax system for ing on of improvements duced at last evening's session for its ot the the carry- was intro- of the city council and received its lirst and second reading pro forma. "When the bylaw was introduced alderman Selous made a vigorous speech in denunciation of it.

If the system outlined iu tlie bylaw were adopted tlio city engineer would require- additional help, and it was not unlikely that two men would be required for tho work.
