The Dairy Recorp has more than three times the vity circulation of any other daily paper published here. presented; those of the proposed British Pacific were not neglected, and very naturally, as the meeting was called for that purpose, mi:vl was saidin favor of the Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern. Premier Turner coutiously called attention to the fact that the government has been asked to guarantee railroad bonds to the amount of $41,000,000. He sug- gested that, while he would deplore the idea of pitting one railroad en- terprise against another, yet one section should not be developed at the expense of another. ‘There is another line,” he said’ “‘which will, in my opinion, be as important to “ROSSLAND. This office and the citizens of this vicinity are constuntly re- ceiving inquiries concerning this section of the vountry which ‘are difficult to answer by letter, so the Revorp gives the foNowing in- formation for the benefit of a}l: Rossland is situated in British Columbia, eight miles from the international boundary line be- tween Canada and the United States. It is reached from the north via the Canadian Pacific to Arrowhead, on the Columbia river; from there to Trail by steamer, and from Trail to Ross- land by the Columbia & Western railway. From the south, via Spokane, Wi by the Spokane the province as the Kootensy rail- way.” He referred to the British Pacific. He pointed out that it would be difficult for the province to borrow large amounts without endangering its credit and it was of the greatest importance that the Dominion government should as- sist. The provincial credit now stood high and if a reasonable amount was only asked for, it could be borrowed at three por cent in the English market. Mr, Turner, continuing, said that the taxpayers in this province paid $8.40 to the provincial treasury and to the Dominion exchequer about $18.000. It was therefore-of the greatest importance to the Domin- ion that the population should be increased. Increased population in the province means increased provincial expenditure in schools, roads and in other directions. In reference to these two amounts in reference to the Dominion and provincial governments he did not wish to find fault but rather to point out that all should assist in securing the undertaking of im- portant public works by the Do- minion government. The views of Prémier Turner wére indorsed by Mr. Earle, mem- ber of the Domini Pi t, Falls & Northern and the Colum- bia & Red Mountain rauways. _ Rossland has thirty five hotels, with bars, eating and lodging rooms, and a dozen Successor to $13 A Thousand. « AARON JAFFE, P British Columbia Mill Company.

A representative meeting of the ‘most 'p inent and infl ial , Citizens of Victoria has been held “ and the subject of a railway to the Kootenay’s discussed from many stand points. There was some disagreement as to the real neces- Fraser river valley to the Koote- nays. He favored the proposed British Pacific railway. Mr. Rithet maintained that Premier Turner’s statement regard- ing the amounts paid by the resi- dents to the provincial and Domin- ion exchequers was correct. He had gone carefully into the figures and found that each person paid $18.42 per annum into the federal treasury and only $8.40 into that ofthe province. The provincial government ‘pay every cent they get in building ruads, maintaining sity of an independent railroad, some favoring branches of the Canadian Pacific and the utiliza- tion of the lakes and water courses. All agreed, however, that some- thing should be done to secure the business of the rapidly develop- ment of the mining districts and at the same time afford those districts relief in the matter of transporta- tion facilities. The following resolution was adopted: “That this meeting em- phatically urge upon the Dominion and provincial governments that substantial aid should be given to the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railway & Navigation company, to enable the company to proceed at once with the work herein set forth ; and that a copy of this reso- lution, signed by the. mayor, as chairman, aud by the secretary, and be forwarded to the Dominion and local governments, as well as each member representing this city and district, in both the house of commons and local legislature. The accounts of the meeting in the Victoria papers make it rather distinctly appareut that three in- terests were represented and under cover of eXpressions of great in- terest in the general development of British Columbia, each of these three interests were conserved. While the resolution distinctiy re- fers to the Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern railway, it is not safe to assume that the meeting as a whole understood the resolution as more than a perfunctory indorse- ment of that railway, however sin- cere was the interest of all in the development of the country. It seems very c'car that Can- adian Pacific’s intereat were clearly hools, etc., and from $250,000 to $500,000 of borrowed money. each year in addition. If weare going to pay so much to the Dominion and borrow money for current ex- penses it simply means the prov- incé cannot long remain sol- vent. The Dominion is receiv- ing about $2,000,000 a year and paying a million or a little over. The province is paying above wiat it receives back every year over $850,000 of money to the Dominion, Hewitt Bostock favored V. & V. E. proposition. A. H. Scaife be built by the provincial govern- ment as a provincial undertaking. This was ruled out. On the whole, -the proceedings disclosed pretty clearly that there is little hope of the V. & V. E. railway securing support to the ex- tent sought for, or that it will be built at all. ENGLISHMEN NOT CHUMPS. Curbin’s Mistaken Notion of How They View Investments. “One of the peculiar things about the War Eagle mine is that it was firat offered on the London market by an American for $2, 500,000,” said E. ge, the English who was a bidder for the War Eagle mine. “What a lot of chumps he must have taken London capitalists for. It was only necessary to cable over here to find out that stock of the War Eagle company was only selling for $1.50 per share, so that to buy up allthe stock at market price would costa million dollars less than the gentleman offered the mine for. Quite a difference between offering the mine for $2,500,000 and accepting $760,000 for the property. moved in amendment that the road | p, in w We believe it will go on and on until Rossland can boast a population of 50,000. ing cars, and Free Colonist Sleeping cars, run on all trains.
