AND STAR CITY ADVOCATE

WEEKLY PAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE TOWNS AND FARMS OF THE CARROT RIVER VALLEY IN CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN

MELFORT, SASKATCHEWAN. FRIDAY, DEC. 30. 1910

The second weekly newspaper was brought to Melfort by Dr. A.S. Shadd. In 1908, he bought the Prince Albert Advocate, moved it to Melfort and renamed it as The Carrot River Journal. In 1912, he sold it to Samuel Charles Lancaster who had been born in London, England. Before coming to Canada, Lancaster had held a position with the City Press of London. In Saskatchewan, he was employed with the Prince Albert Advocate before Dr. Shadd purchased it and changed it to the Carrot River Journal.
