REVENUE FROM ROSSLAND $200,000 Customs, $13,000 a Mon‘h, Internal Revenue $3,000 and PostofMfce Over $1,000 a Month. The following isa copy ofa petition forwarded yesterday by the Rossland board of trade to the miniater of public works at Ottawa, and each member of the Dominion parliament: “Your petitioners, the board of trade of the city of Rossland, British Colum- bia, beg to draw your attention to the urgent need of a federal building in this city. At present the postoffice ie housed in a frame block in the business centre, which is necessarily 1m great Ganger of destruction by fire, and is altogether in- adequate to the needs of the public. After the arrival of mails it is a nightly occurrence to find the crowds , waiting for the general delivery completely ‘fill- ing the lobby, and occasionally extend- ing even into the street. The custom house is located over a hardware store ona ateep cross street. The office of the deputy collector of inland revenue is beyond the business limits. The fact that the offices. are thus scattered causes at inconvenience and loss of time to the public, besides. making a very bad impression on visitors, and more eapec- ially on the large number of Americans who have to do business with one or the other of these departments. As showing the importancé of this city and its your would point out that it has now a resi- dent population of at least 7,000, though only four years old; five chartered banks (the Banks of Montreal, British Nerth America, Merchants of Halifax, Toronto and British Columbia), one of which in erecting a $50,000 dlock, while another has in contemplation @ second, equally costly; ita two issues of munici- pal'bonds, bearing 6 and 63¢ per cent interest, respectively, and running 25 years, are quoted at par; its mines alone employ 1,200 men at an average monthly wage of $100; the numberof children attending the public schools exceeda 400; and the assessed value of real es- tate and personal property within the city limits, exclusive of mines, is nearly a million and a half. We would also point out that during ronto. and wealth above indicated contributes most liberally tothe revenues of the Dominion, to the following customs returns for the Port of Rossland: During the gaine period one English To prove to you that all the industry we would call your attention AM’T.

Late yesterday afternoon the water . was shut off in the main pipe of the works to enable the company to make some needed repairs in the service main about two miles from town, The re- Pairs occupied more time than was ex- pected, and'so there has been no water in the pipes since yesterday afternoon, and today citizens could be seen with pailin hand going from block to block looking for springs or brooks. The local springs were soon dipped out, and still the populace was thirsty, It was cer+ tainly the dryest day in Rossland his- tory. Housewives were melting snow, undthe men were swearing vengeance upon the water company. Delinquents rushed to the office and paid up, believ- ing that che company had carried out some previous threat, but all tono avail. The pipe hasbeen repaired now, and the water is again running into the res- ervoir at the top of the hill, but will not be turned into the city mains until to- night, as the company wants to hold some in the tank in case of fire. The reason given by the water com- pany for not announcing tothe public that the water would be turned off, was ‘or fear that some miscreant might set Hire to the town and burn it up before any water could be gotten from the creeks about. A good lesson is taught the citizens by this temporary break in the water supply. Allcan now realize what a dire calamity it is to be without water, even fora few hours, and imme- diately steps sktould be taken by the council to see. that such an occurrence tion. among the arrivals at the Allan today. does not happen again.
