'\nNew Denver business men do not\nadvertise, because, as one puts it,\nin doing so one might draw business from the other, and cause the\nother to advertise to get the business\nback\u2014and there you are\u2014a solution of the whole problem of commerce.

This is a\nmean confession. The fault is not\nwith the paper, for no camp can\nboast of an good a weekly as Tiik\nLedge, with the same scope to\ndraw from.

At\nthat time he put his waistcoat under\nhis pillow, in the inside pocket of\nwhich he had 8150. About 0 o'clock\nTluney returned to tiie room with\na bottle of whiskey and asked Buckley to take a drink.

The time\nis ripe for a forward movement, aud\nit is evident that those men who\nare participating in the deliberations fully recognize this fact.\nBETTER LATE.\nEn.

AND ZINC.\n_It^eem8jhat\u201ewith^\ntion that the C. P. R. makes in\nfreight rates on Slocan ores, there\nis attached a rider that nullifies\nthe whole thing and makes it of no\npractical benefit. Great things\nwere expected from the reduction\nto $13 on zinc to Antwerp, and the\nmine owners at once made preparations to send a big tonnage across\nthe water, the Payne even going so\nfar as to contract with New York\nagents to ship the entire output of\nthe mine's zinc.\nNo sooner had these arrangements been completed, and the ore\ngot ready to move, than a condition was imposed that knocks out\nany possibility of doing business\nunder the Antwerp rate. The railroad insists on the prepayment of\nfreight charges. The consequence\nhas been that not a tou of zinc has\ngone, or will go, to Antwerp.\nPeople not conversant with tho\nway the C.P.R. does things, will\nwonder at this action. But there\naro those who tell us that pressure\nwas brought to bear on the company by New York intercuts, to\nkeep out European competition,\nand to hold the Slocan at the mercy\nof the Bingle United States smelter\nthat is trying to force our mine\nowners to dispose of their zinc at\nwhatever price the smelter's agent\nwants to bid. Back of this smelter\nis the great Rockefeller, and the\nsame power that is keeping other\nUnited States zinc buyers out of\nthe Slocan, is forcing the C.P.R. to\nnullify its freight rate that let in\ncompetition from Autwerp.\nThe mine owners,, by appealing\nto the Railway Act of 1903, can\nhit back at the C.P.R. ina manner\nto make its officials dance. Competition can be brought in from\nColorado, and Sections 266-267 of\nthe railway act be brought into\nforce against the company.\nOn another page, a writer calls\nattention to these sections and explains fully the procedure that can\nbe taken. The C.P.R. can thus be\nmade a feeder to the G.N.R. at\nNelson enroute to Colorado. The\nonly benefit that the C.P.K. would\nderive is the arbitrary allowance of\nthe Board of Commissioners from\nSandon to Nelson.\nWe understand the Colorado\nplant, while a little behind in\nmetallurgical practice at present, is\nsteadily improving, and soon will\nbe a strong competitor of the Rockefeller concern at Iola, as the plant\nis modeled on European lines.\nIt remains to be seen whether\n-the\"CrPrRrwiii~h\"oid\"to~itr\"dMiIio\"n\"\nregarding prepayment of freight\nWhen Lord Coleridge visited\nAmerica, among other places, he\nvisited Georgetown.

C. Harris is doing some talking and writing on his present trip\nto the Old Country. Things are\ntao slow for him; and he is taking\nadvantage of the occasion to give\nvont to his Western ideas. Writing\nto the Wiltshire Gazette, he says:\n.\"I am thankful to find that my\nletter of suggestions and comments\non the subject of agriculture in\nBritain and America has aroused\nconsiderable interest. T. E.

Box 563, Oflice: Kootenay St.. Nelson,\nRuinous\nA correspondent, writing The\nLedge on the question of transportation rates in connection with the\nlead-zinc question, says:\n-.\"A critical-study of the new\nRailway Act of 1903 brings out several points which in the future will\nbear a considerable relation to the\nprosperity of the lead and zinc\ncamps of B. C.\n\"Under the heading of 'Discrimination' we find a new addition,to\nthe former Act, which cuts out one\nabuse, preventing competitive conditions in the ore traffic.\n\"It reads: 'No company shall, in\naccordance with the provisions of\nthis Act, directly or indirectly, pool\nits freights or tolls with the freights\nor tolls of any other Railway Company or common carrier, nor divide\nits earnings or any portion thereof\nwith any other Railway Company\nor common carrier, nor enter into\nany contract, arrangement, agreement, or combination to effect, or\nwhich may effect, any such result,\nwithout leave therefor having been\nobtained from the Board.'\n' 'Those who are posted as' to previous ore traffic conditions, know\nthe cut and dried nature of affairs\nin connection therewith, on both\nlines of railway. Its recurrence is\nrendered impossible by this section.\n\"Of far reaching importance are\nthe two sections Nos. 266-267, governing the issuance of Joint Tariffs.\nSection 266 reads: 'Where traffic is\nto pass over any continuous route\nin Canada operated by two or more\ncompanies, the several companies\nmay agree upon a joint tariff for\nsuch continuous route, and the initial company shall file such joint\ntariff with the Board, and the other\ncompany, or companies, shall\npromptly notify the Board of its, or\nSMALL ADVERTISEMENT DIRECTORY\ntheir, assent to and concurrence in\nsuch joint tariff. The names of the\ncompanies whose lines compose\nsuch continuous route shall be\nshown.by such tariffs.'\n\"Now follows in Section 267, a\nprovision that applies with peculiar\nforce to the present situation, and\nputs into the hands of the shipper\nof lead and zinc ores, a powerful\nweapon to force concessions, by the\nexcercise of competitive smelting facilities. It deprives the railways\nof that arbitrary power hitherto exercised, to force trade into channels\nthe most profitable to its interest,\nat the expense of the creator of the\ntraffic. It reverses the condition,\nmakes trade the dictator and not\nthe mere instrument, for its furtherance, the railway. How it applies\nto the Kootenays will be explained\nlater.\n\"Section 267 reads: 'In the event\nof failure by such companies to\nagree upon any such joint tariff as\nprovided in the next preceding section, the Board on the application\nof any company or person desiring\nto forward traffic over any such continuous route, which the Board\nconsiders a reasonable aud practicable route, or any portion thereof,\nmay require such companies, within a prescribed time, to agree upon\nand file in like manner a joint tariff\nfor such continuous route satisfactory to the Board, or may, by order,\ndetermine the route, fix the toll of\nand apportion the same among the\ncompanies interested, and may determine the date when the toll or\ntolls so fixed shall come into effect,\nand traffic shall be carried by the\ncompanies in accordance therewith.'\n\"Sub sections 2, 3 and 4 fix\nthe power to further give force to\nthis section.\n' 'The above section places the\nC. P. R. and its allied smelting interest in a vulnerable position.

Any shipper in Canadian Pacific territory who so desires, can petition the Board, to allow the route to be opened to the\nAmerican line from Nelson, using\nthe Nelson & Fort Shepherd Rail\nway, as a means of placing his ore\nfor treatment in Colorado.\n' 'This action means that the C. P.\nwill only receive the small local arbitrary, to Nelson, which will be a\npart of the through rate quoted.\nThe tariff now in effect on the Great\nNorthern Railway on lead ores to\nDenver quotes a rate of $12 per ton\nallowing an arbitrary of $1.60 per\nton on lines north of Troup Jet. The\narbitrary is the same on zinc ores.\nThis is the amount the C. P. Ri\nwill be allowed. The arbitrary can\nbe quoted to the American line.\nThe term 'Continuous line in Canada,' does not imply a destination\nin Canada if the dictionary meaning\nof the word 'continuous' is used.\n'\u2022Theore, once it gets to tbe line,\nwill be taken without a doubt. It\nis reasonble to suppose, that if the\nColorado smelting Companies can\nbe assured, that there will be no\nrecurrence to the former arbitrary\ntactics, that they will enter this\nfield again, on \"the old acale of\nprices. Tho heavy consumption of\nlead in thc United States, coupled\nwith the superior class of our product, should act as an inducement.\n\u2666'With the zinc ores, it will be possible to hold the C. P.
