Nobody questions” the fact that Rossland is today the mining center of the province, with fair prospects of it t the chief ‘cial point. . It looks, however, as if it had reached that stage when busi- ness men and capital were making themselves subservient to condi- tions rather than meeting those con- ditions, and so long as that spirit exists, Rossland’s prosperity and progress will be hampered. Our merchants must brace up and branch out. If they do not, they will soon find the field filled by more struggling business concerns than the community will support; and the result will be a cutting competition L that has but one end, and that is failure. If a man wants business, he must go after it. That's the fundamen- tal principle of the proposition. The idea of being content with your present field is all bosh, because there is always somebody after something bigger. = : As was pointed out in the first issue of the new Recorp, Rossland has an unequalled opportunity to make itself a wholesale and jobbing point. It is an opportunity which alive community should not sleep on. The ‘vantages which the trade of the Boundary country pre- sent are magnificent. Rossland has heard about it and is thinking over it. | Nelson has been there and is doing the business. That's the sub- stantial difference. The advantages are in favor of Rossland, and yet we let another city enjoy the bisi- ness. Already merchants are be- ginning to grumble about trade. Some men go through life hunting for opportunities. Others find them and don’t know what to do with them or are afraid they will bite. The C. P. R. has just completed a railroad which forms a direct line from Rossland: to the Boundary, with a scattered population of ten or twelve thousand people; a sec- tion where new towns are on the map every other day; where large capital is being invested in the de- velopment of resources and where small capital is put ito merchan- dise. It all makes business and no community appreciates that fact better than do the business men of Nelson. They have their drum- mers there, and ever since the road opened for the carrying of freight, the daily shipments from Nelson have been enormous. And yet, there are two transfers at Robson and the necessity of breaking bulk on less than carload lots. The Boundary is full of small merchants. Their sales are rapid and they need “sorting up” orders quickly. These orders could go right through from Rossland. Everything that is con- sumed here, is used there. The business of supplying it is all in favor of Rossland. | If the matter is tion, the business here could be doubled in a year’s time. This is the natural supply point. The op- portunities are in our favor and the obstacles are in the way of Nelson and Spokane. The Boundary country wants fruit and fish every day. Often they are without it. The retail drug business there, could draw from Rossland. Why should Nel- son supply that section with powder and fuse? Why should it secure the bulk of the dry goods and gro- cery trade? The people there do not drink water altogether, and Nelson is already supplying the substitule. The entire business would be ours if we went after it. Rossland seems to lose sight of the fact that this is, in a sense, the cen- ter of the Boundary section. That is, it was Rossland capital, largely, that was first invested, and today much of the prosperity of that sec- tion represents Rossland enterprise. Will our business men follow their flag and hold the business field which they have created, or lounge around and gap while Nel- son ‘gets there.” It’s a matter worthy your consideration, ——— The superintendent of instruction says there is no danger of Rossland not getting her share of public school facilities, because we have the most aggressive school trustees in the province. In this the com- munity will bear him out, for Presi- dent Lalonde and his colleagues have certainly done effective work, and the evidence stands to show for That does not supply the high school, however, and what is neces- sary is for the board of trade and business men to go after the de- partment, and to keep after it, with the same aggressive zeal. that has marked the work of the trustees. If the letter of the law providing that we must have twenty qualified applicants before we can have the high school is to be followed, then let the law be changed to meet the evident conditions. Already there are eleven scholars waiting, but is it reasonable to suppose that any par- ent is going to permit his’ son or daughter to hang around for six months or a year to wait for the requisite number to pass e i ress- —tmaking mua Madam Burr late of the Palace Dry Goods store, Spo- kane,. has taken charge of the Dress- . making department at M.

NOT AN UNMIXED EVIL, Mr. Parmalee Thinks Chinese Inv gration has its Good Side. Mr. W. G. Parmalee, deputy minister of trade and commerce, in whose department comes the Chi- nese immigration matter, has a somewhat better opinion of the al- mond-eyed Celestial than obtains on the Pacific coast. He says they are ‘sober and industrious and can always be relied upon. With regard to the statements that had been made that the head-tax on Chinese coming into the country was to be raised from $50 to $250, he said that it had been mooted time after time and session after session but nothing has yet come of it. : i Established May, 1885.
