This is the estimate . of - the officials of the Beading Railway company. Seventy-five are known, to be injured. The missing list includes one hundred and thirty-six names. It is impossible to complete .the list of the missing, as many occupants of the theatre were1 from other towns and there are no relatives here to irqhlre for them. The fire following the explosion of the gasoline tank attached to amoving picture machine being used, for the production by a children's company of "The Reformation," drew four hundred people, mostly children, toward.the sole exit of the theatre, where many perished. Hundreds are engaged in the work of .removing the bodies of the dead. Sixty have been recovered. .»- Boyerstown, Pa., , Jan.. 17.— Bearing up bravely under the aw- £'il blow which it received' in the destruction of .. the\Rhodes opera .kausa v,by.Jira* an'.Monday., : this- thriving little borough today came to a full realization. of the fact that one-fifteenth of the population was w iped out of existence by. the holocaust.

' • * • Distribution of Pass Coal to be i Greatly Increased Vancouver, B. C.} Jan. 17.—By February transportation facilities for marketing the product of the Crow's Nest Pass coal mining district will be increased by the opening of the Great Northern extension from Fernis to Michel. The road, which has been under construction for the last two years, is 23 miles long. The line follows Coal Creek from Michel to Fernie,1 where it connects with the Hill road. » Practically" the route of the new line is the same as followed by the Canadian Pacific, Coal Creek being the only | outlet from the mines possible for j a railroad. ., The constructiosr of the Fernie- Michel branch has been an expensive piece of1 railroad work averaging, it is estimated, about ?55,'- 000 a mile for the grading and track. The Great Northern will be, when the line is'in operation, an active competitor of the Canadian Pacific for.% coal and coke of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company.

As explained in our issue of the 4th o£ January, the reason for changing the name' is because pf ' the increase. o£ our circulation outside of Fernie. The "District Ledger" is the official organ of the U.. M. W. of A. District No. 18.. " ' , While changing the name of our paper, we are not changing the "policy in any,way, except that we will improve' it as we go along. The news of the City, will be given more attention, while the news of the District will be increased. To aid us in this way we look to the members of the TJ. M. W. of A. to .send us items of interest" to the ca/ase from time. to time. We are about to spend a few thousand dollars on an improved plant, and this will enable us to get.out a better looking paper, more news, and get it out more promptly. We will also be in a better position to handle job work with ' promptness, - and should receive same from all the Secretaries ' of the Locals of the District. Bidding adieu -to the "Fernie Ledger," and bespeakingaa hearty ^^^irXtio^'fo7_tKg~"Disfrict"L*ed~ ger" we wish the District increased success. o (i GROWTH OF SOCIALISM The growth of Socialist sentiment in Western Canada is remarkable, travel in the train, go into-the hotels, listen to the sermons preached from the pulpit, and you can hear Socialism being "talked of by rich and poor. In the province of Alberta a large number of settlers have come from the United States who are imbued with Socialist ideas. We happened recently to meet with two homesteaders from the Athabacca Eiver in the far north who brought the news of a Socialist meeting of 32 persons being held one Sunday, this fall, at the banks of the Athabacca Eiver some 200 "miles north of Edmonton. It is plainly evident that Socialism in Canada is not confined to the Coal Minors. Th .<;• sent hard time are making many people study Socialism as a means of, preventing a recurrence of present conditions. In British Columbia our Lieut. Governor Dunsirmir is showing the peoplo how it is possible to set the will of the people as one voice, and iscidently make a good bargain for himself by so doing. All of which will result in making more Socialists.

The delegates which comj rlsed T. E. James, Miners' Union, wfco was deputised by Vice-President Lehonny, and A. J. Healey (secretary), T. R. Westman, representatives from local labor bodit-t and others, were received by ilm. A. C. Itutherford, prtmler, Hon. W. H. Cunning, minister of publio works: Hon, C'„ W. Cross, attor- aey-gtneral, and lion. W.T. Fin- ley, minister of agriculture. The delegation called attention to resolutions asking for the appointment of scoffolding inspectors and factory inspectors, and urged legislation respecting,1 r the payment of all wages in current coin or at least a bi-monthly basis. A Workmen's Compensation Act was agreed ' upon to be drafted along the lines adopted' by the {Imperial Parliament. An amendment ,to the Boilers' Inspection Act was asked for. The government was asked to erect elevators and control publio utilities. The examination1 and registration of steamfitters and plumbers was urged. This had been endorsed by the Trades and Labor j Congress of Canada, the Alberta Trades and Farmers' convention; Dr. Tertian,,, city medical health officer, and the Edmonton Trades and Labor Council. . An amendment was asked to the election law under which an extension .of, time' would be. allowed voters to permit workmen voting after working hours. The total abolition of the contract system in'' all public wo' .a was asked. A resolution passed by the Alberta trades and farmers' convention, asking that municipalities be given greater borrowing powers while the financial stringency continues, was submitted. An application was made, for abolition of the system compelling candidates for the provincial parliament to put up a deposit. A request was made for the adult suffrage, in municipalities. ? Legislation - was asked for to prevent the employment of children under 16 years of age. Several resolutions were submit- ted regarding the operation of protection of the lives of conduct-' ors, and the hour of labor on Sunday were among the points submitted. A fair wage clause was asked for to >.be'included in all contracts given by the government. -' Application was made_fgr sev- WILL ORGANIZE B. C Branch of Institute of Mining Engineers iatK, ,1, 1908. Yesterday, was organized in this city a western branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining Engineers. There is at present a membership-in the west of about 150 and it is thought that with vte localizing of the, institution that this membership will be easily increased within the year ro 300 members. There was little -lone ot the meeting of yesterday beyond the formal organization. The fu'l- er organization, as to details, was left, over for today. There will be morning and afternoon sessions and in the evening the many visiting members and their wives will be entertained at a dance at the Hume hotel. Frederic Keffer, of Greenwood, taking the chair, .snd A. H. Gracey, of the Eva mine, being appointed secretary for the meeting, a roll call of those present was taken. These were: -T. C. Haas A. B. W. Hodges, S. S. Fowler, I F. Keffer, E. Jacobs, J. J. Campbell,, L. Hill, A."c. Garde, E. C. Browne-Cave, W. A. Davidson, A. L. McKillop,'G. E. Eevell, A. H. Gracey, T. Kiddie, C P. Hill, W. IHiller, C Rundberg, C. Varcoe, C. T. Mitchell, W. B. Bishop, S. G. Blaylock, J. Buchanan, E. W. Widdowson, and B. ,'A. Isaac. There were others present, teveral of whom will be members of the institute. Amongst these-were: L. ' Pratt, A. D. Wheeler, E. F. Mil- tenberger, J. A.- Whittiir and F. Fletcher. " Frederic Keffer, as ^jesrdentf made an address in which lie stat- made an address in which he seated the objects of the meeting, including the formation of a western branch of the institute. It was moved byS. S. Fbwlcr, and_seconded-by—G P.—H.'Il,—taat- '•'we now constitute ourselves a western beanch of the Canadian Mining institute.'' ,Tn;s, was carried. The next order of business was the election of permanent officers, with the following result: President, A. B. W.- Hodges; secretary, E. Jacobs; executive council, . P. S. Couldre'y, R. H. Stewart, L. Hill, 0. E. S. Whiteside, W. M. Brewer, J, C. Haas, E. C. Mus-1 j grave, J. McEvoy and S. G. Blay- jlock. j While the scrutineers were ex- | amining the ballot papers, E. Jacobs stated that the provincial mineralogist had requested him to express his regret that his official duties just now prevented him from leaving Victoria, so that he was unable to attend the meeting. A. B. W. Hodges then took, the era! ammendments to the Mines' o Regulation Act. \ It was suggested that the mine inspector should visit,all coal mines in his district at least, once in every six weeks, and should make a written report of the condition of that mine, the same to be posted at the mine mouth. This was recommended in the report of the Coal Commission. Another request made was that in every mine where at least ten men were employed there should be a regularly equipped wash house. Another recommendation of the Coal Commission was endorsed by the labor men, who asked that escape . shafts in coal mines should bo a proper distance from th,e main shaft, 100 or 150 feet was suggested. The government we're asked to make it a punishable offence for a member of the mine committee to be discriminated against by their : engineers for the honor done him, employers. ; ji„ eai&. f :ft»4l*S*U-:|s# ■ v informal discussion as to the best method of carrying on the newly formed branch of the institute. P..Keffer thought it would be well'to have little local branches of the institute in the different mining centres, to meet every month or so!" ' r' S. S. Fowler thought that there would be hardly a sufficient membership present in any one of these centres, with the possible exception of the Boundary, to make such meetings interesting. The speaker ' thought that thete should be quarterly or semi-annual meetings. This led to some discussion' and finally the general opinion seemed to be that the meetings of the western branch of the institute should be thrice yearly. - Mr. Keffer agreed with Mr. Fowler that the oftener meetings could be held the better the members could get together. J, C. Haas suggested the reading of papers at such meetings, but thought the procedure of the meetings should be, as far as possible, informal. > T. Kiddle agreed as to the non- formality of the meetings .and thought that'meetings three times a year would be' ample. E. Jacobs called attention to the fact that the general meeting of the institute would be held this" year in Ottawa, in March next; and that it would be in order for the western branch" to prepare for j that ... annual meeting anything that the.west particularly thought' desirable for discussion. The speaker went on to give the bylaws of the institute as to membership and associate membership. Mr. Jacobs then remarked: "In view of the fact that'the depart-' ment of mines is now organized, it would be' politic for us to draft a resolution congratulating the Dominion Government upon its establishment and expressing appreciation of the useful- work done in the west by the Geological Survey and; as well, with reference' to the statistics gathered TtHW by K. BTHedley throughout u—the province." Mr. Jacobs also called attention to the fact-that it had been- said that the Canadian mint could not use Canadian metal for its work, inasmuch as there was no refinery for certain metals within the Dominion. This was not the case, inasmuch as there was such a refinery at Trail. This matter should be taken up i by the institute. The secretary was instructed to prepare.a resolution along these lines. , The meeting then adjourned at 5 o'clock, to meet this morning at 11 o'clock and again at 2 o'clock. S, S. Fowler, on behalf of the Nelson members, tendered an invitation to the members to be present at a dance this evening in the Hume hotel.—Nelson News, ';V ■ 'Buy" - KOOTENAY FRLJ IT Lands at Robson Five Trains daily, C.

A new feature about this cumpaay is that instead of using uniform cut wood, they use the refuse from mills, such as sawdust, slabs discarded shingle bolts, etc. . and I know all the gentlemen present aro interested enough to endorse my sentiments. But an endeavor should be made to increase the membership as ?oon as possible. It takes co-operation to make a success of this branch. Tho whole ,, reason of tho forma- .tlon.'of "the western branch is that the busy membors out west cannot attend the meetings of the institute held in the oast.

At all Grocers LABOR NOTES Vice-President Galvin was ordered off the property of the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Coal Co. at Brenifeit Sask., last week Senator Watson Managing Director . of the company told Galvin he would allow- no union at his mine nor would he allow any union official , on the premises. He proposed to hire who he pleased, and pay what wages he liked and sell his coal at what price he wished, and anyone that did not like his way of doing business could' go to " ♦ * * That the Company had invests ed $150,000 in the mine and would run its business as they wished regardless of anyone. Vice President Galvin informed Sena- , tor .Watson that his men were organized into the U. M. W., of A. and if he would not adjust their grievencies a Board of Investigation, under the Lemuiez Act would be applied for and failing to obtain „ justice by that method, he Senator,' Watson would be up against a fight that would make '.' his $150,000 look like 10 cents. » • ,» a / About 85 men are employed at the mine which is a new one. , .. ».»♦., Vice President Galvin reports a strike has been in vogue for three months, addresses being delivered. The men are in a cheerful mood and are looking forward to a victory, and at the International Board meeting, money was voted for their support. The men are peacable and in the face of many difficulties are behaving like good citizens. Strike breakers are in from Cripple Creek but very little work is being done. In three days 42 men hoisted 56 cars of coal the cars averaging , one ton each, at this rate of work, it is, generally thought the company will soon come to terms, and be at peace once more.

About 45 handed in their names for membership at the close of the meeting, Tho movement is booming in the North. Peter Patterson, fraternal delegate to the W.

A largo number of won are at work in the different camps and tho vacancies are being flllod as rapidly as possible.

' o SOCIALISTS TO MAKE FIGHT The third meeting of the socialist club, recently organized in Edmonton, was held ,in the Trades and Labor' chamber last evening. The principal address was by Mr. Franlc Sherman, President of District Association No. 18, the defeated socialist candidate at Pinch er Creek in last local election, and which he claimed cost the' Liberal party §10,000. He made a very moderate, and in the view „oi many present, a logical and forceful • speech. Capital was given the blame for all the ills the laboring man is at present undergo1- ing, and the socialist propaganda is to have all the credit for the bliss that awaits him in tho future. He asked tho support of the laboring man for the Socialist candidate on tho ground that both the othor parties were tho samo "thinamen." He was opposed to strikes, as the strikers always loso, and the employers always reap the benefit. Capital feared socialism more than labor unionim. Labor will never be satisfied until in possession and control of the means of production by which it lives. In social' iBm only is the hope of a brigTit or and better condition for the workingman than now obtains. Only by organization can this hopo be realized, Ho was opposed to government ownorship because it only changed masters and loit tho wage earner where he was. It was tho intention of th* socialist party to put men in the field end make a rod hot fight (appliui*). Tho farmers, he declared, were largely Socialists, and could be doponaed on to hrlp in the n('ht. Thoro wero upwards of 200 present tho hall boing completely flllod.

W. of America the following' resolutions carried unanimously. Whereas, the vocation of coal mining is known to be hazardous calling as witness the four terrible disasters which recently occurred in the United States, not to recall the immense loss of life in Fernie a few years ago and in Coleman last April when our beloved brothers were snuffed out like a candle, and, Whereas, accidents are continually occuring which maim tho workers who follow coal, mining, and serve to incapacitate them for thereafter earning a living, and Whereas many of these workers have wives and families dependant on them who are thus left helpless and without an additional charge ■ on their hand, and Whereas, the unhealthiness of the occupation,is beyond question; the low lights with which we are compelled to work, involving a strain that- is injurious to the eyes, the confinement which impairs vitality, and the unseen dangers that menace, therefore Be it resolved, that we the members of Coleman Local 2633, U. M. W. of America, in mass meeting assembled, demand of the Provincial Parliament that they take cognizance of these conditions and their attendant hard ships, and mete out a small measure of justice to the workers in this most important industry of the Province by passing at the next session of Parliament an eight hour Bank to Bank law identical with the law now in force in British Columbia, and a Compensation Act along the lines adopted by the Imperial Parliament, and ' , Be it resolved iurther, that cop- -ies-of-this-resolution-be-forwarded. to Hon. Premier Rutherford, Hon. John P.". Mercellus, The Alberta Executive Trades and Labor Council, the District Board the Fernie Ledger and the Great West. Whereas, under the present Mines Inspectors' Act the inspector after examination of mines records his findings in a book provided for the purpose in. the Company's office. .This arrangement prevents, to a very great extent, the mine workers from being conversant with same, and Whereas, under the existing law the visit of the mine Inspector are times optional with him, therefore Be it resolved that we the members of Coleman, Local '2633, U. M. W. of America, in mass meeting assembled, urge upon the Provincial Parliament the necessity of amending the Mine Inspectors' , Act,. so that mine inspec- shall be compelled to visit each mine in his District at least once every six weeks, and post his report at the mine mouth, in the interest of .the workers employed therein, and <, Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to Hon. Premier Rutherford, Hon, John P. Mercellus, the Alberta ■< Executive Trades and Labor Council, the District Board' the Fernie Ledger and _ the Great West. Whereas, at present there is no law providing that miners, 'shall receive dynamite or patent powders in a condition fit to use' in their working places, and Whereas, there have been many accidents owing to".their being compelled under present conditions to , thaw their own powder, Be it resolved that we the members of Coleman Local 2633, U. M.-of America, in mass'' meeting assembled draw this to the attention of the Provincial Gov7 eminent, that'they may'see the necessity of enacting a law compelling mine operators to provide a place suitable for the storing and preparing of powder to be used where the miners may receive it- for use .'when necessary, and Be' it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to Hon. Premier' Rutherford, Hon. John F. Mercellus, the Alberta Executive Trades and Labor Council, the District Board, the Fernie Ledger' and the Great West. Coleman, Alberta, January, 7th, 1908.

SEHUNG COAL Prospects Point to the Development of fine on Peninsula" The development ot the coal- deposits at North. Saanich' within twenty miles oi t the city ot Victoria still goos' on apace. It is reported that a seam three feet thick has been discovered and the prospectors are still going" deeper. Captain Bissett, who has bonded a large part of tho north end of; the peninsula, it is -understood' has interested-capitalists in the scheme, and it is hot at,all 'improbable that big developments will result in the near future. Should coal in paying quantities be found right on the confines of the city, as that is, it would mean cheaper fuel ,,for the manufacturing industries as well as for the residents and also a largo weekly payroll, a large part of which would be bound to come.to that district. It has been known ~ for, a long tim6 that coal in small or large quantities exist*, fi in that part of the island .but it' was not -known whechcr the seams would be sufficiently thick and of the right quality to make it worth while working it. The test that is now being made will settle that question and the first reports that have been received seem to indicate that the most favorable conditions exist. ' Not only will the city of Victoria benefit if the result of . the work now. being conducted is successful, but the whole district will be benefitted, and it will be a very material financial gain to those whose property has been included in the0 deal which is contemplated. -— o ,'.

WIUIAMS' PINK PUIS Read Strong Testimony of a Man Who was Helpless for Years and Whom HosPital Doctors Said was Incurable.' Locomotor ataxia its, a d.&easo of the spinal cord, Vnaractoiizod by peculiar disturbances oi the, gait, and difficulty in governing the motion of tho legs. As the disease progresses there is a total inability to walk. One of the earliest signs is a tired feeling particularly noted in the kheee and ankles. Often a numb feeling 1b associated with it. As the disease is of slow growth, the disease is of slow growth, some cases covering a period of years, the increase and intensity of the symptoms is not noticed, but its progress is constant and gradually approaches a total lack of feeling in the legs, causing a wobbling gait and entire in* ability to govern the steps. As it grows the patient loses con* trot over the bowels and water. A further symptom ia the sensa* tlon of a pressure at the waist, as the upper parts of the Bpinol cord becomes affected. Locomotor ataxia is stubborn in yielding to treatment and be* fore the discovery of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was considered incur* able. It has been fully demon* strated, however, that this disease con bo cured by Dr. Wil* Huns' Pinh Tills for Palo People, The length of treatment required depends upon the stage at which it is commenced. It is dan* nf*«r the presence of the disease is recognised, although this medicine has wrought cures in many rases of long standing. We give the following statement of Mr. Henry Furier, a well V-»*>***n Trident of Delta, Ont., in firoof of the claim that Dr. Wil* iaras' Pink Pills will cure this most dreaded of diseases;' Mr. Purser says: "I am deeply grate* - ful that X am able to write you and let you know the great benefit X have derived from the use of Dr. William*' Tlnk Pills. Some years ago while working on the firand Trunk Hallway, I injured may be surrounded by an air-tight' case,, provided with a tube open-' ed or shut at will by a mercury' valve i operated by an electro-- magnet controlled from "the :"pb-' serviing "' station., This tube', would be opened ' for, say,."five minutes., During that time ihe.ex*,; ternal gases would diffuse , perfectly through the tube into,,the case, but both moisture and;car-, bonic acid, would immediately be obserbed by caustic potassa placed in D\ • The tube would-then .be_elosed,_and_rneasurernents_,tak3 en, pure marsh gas being" the standard. These tests,would be made« as often as desired, ,, the observer having full control,]:J of the valves on all the instruments and operating all on cne circuit. While a separate circuit)71" is shown for the right-hand or left- j hand helices, it is practicable, by i, a simple device arranged by the f inventor, to operate either helix: at will from the.observing'station and yet use but a single circuit. With bulbs of 300 cubic inches capacity, a balance weighing to one-tenth of a grain will give the percentage of- marsh gas to one-, third of one per cent, The bulbs weigh six ounces. This weight may bo lessened S6 grains by filling them with,;pure hydrogen. A reading to one-third of one per cent is close enough in practice, Tho instrument is especially designed for use in gbaves, where large accumulations of the gas are more liable to form. A decrease in atmospheric pressure forces it out in the workings, where it may be fired by a shot, a dofective lnmp, or other causes. It. having been settled that the explosions supposed to be wholly due to coal dust depend on marsh gas in conjunction with'the'dust, the necessity for close watch upon even small percentages is obvious. As marsh.gas spreads with tolerable rapidity, one instrument will guard a considerable area, especially in a go*t where ventilation is neglected. ■•■ ' o , Ottawa,.Jan.; 16.—-Word'was received from the' Colonial Secretary 'that the';King has decided to institute a medal to be known... as the Edward'medal, for courage .in saving or v attempting ; to save lives in, ,the -mines or quarries of.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1908-01-18 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
