been taxed to its utmost for suffi-

. and proportionate re-
cient siding accommodations and | ¥ ‘ducflons all around,
the whole matter has resulted in the :
necessity for building another freight
shed which will double the present
capacity, for constructing half a
mile of siding and affording other
accommodations for the great num-
ber of teams and transfer wagons
which are constantly hauling and
delivering freight.

Rossland is gradually building
up an enviable trade with the Boun-
dary country and is sending through
car load lots of hardware and other
merchandise from the wholesalers
here. Beer by the carload from
Rossland is also finding a splendid
market in the Boundary country. In
fact, so brisk has been trade with
the new district that business men
feel more encouraged, although
they have been hampered to some
extent by slow service.

“If Rossland merchants are to
receive their share.of the Kootenay
wholesal it it is lutely
necessary for the railways to give
prompter and better service on all
out-going shipments.”

That was the emphatic declara-
tion of a big general merchant when
questioned this morning regarding
the jobbing situation. He has paid
much attention to. the commercial
development of southern British
Cc bia, and his | ledge of the
wholesale industry is as accurate as
any man’s in the province.

“The distributing field for which
Rossland can be made the center
extends to the western limits of the
Columbia & Western railway, and
to the east, as far as Ymir on ‘the
Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway,”
he continued. “The wholesale
houses of Greenwood and Grand
Forks, having ample capital and
large consumption, will buy direct
in carload:lots as soon as the Co-
lumbia & Western extension is
taken out of the construction de- dl
partment’s hands. The jobbers of
this city, however, have Trail and
Robson as natural outlets, while
they are on equal footing with Nel-
son for the business of the Burnt
Basin, Gladstone and Cascade.

“Since there is naturally compe-
tition in that field it is necessary for
the Rossland dealers to overlook, no
point in securing the trade. At
present we are badly handicapped
by the freight service over the Cc-

~lumbia & Western, which is due to
the fact that the road has
