H. L. EDMUNDS, Manager Coal Creek. -Scarlet fever is.still raging in'our midst if not actually, on the increase. The situation is becoming moire alarming day by day and questions are often being asked, "Why, not an isolation hospital?" The sanitation is very imperfect, if- not absolutely nil and the creek is "totally .inadequate for the , carrying away of ,the refuse matter that" is' being . deposited therein. ; We .have ;to ..record two deaths" for last week and it is reported- there is very little hope for the recovery of two or three more.'' The first victim, was a child of Mr. Robert Jones, French camp, who *?Jnce the fire lias lived in a state of almost destitution having been burnt out". The other was a daughter of Mr.. Banks; also of French Camp. We cannot but sympathize witli our comrades in their loss and hope something will be done right early to stamp out more effectively' this epidemic. ' . Several amusing stories can be. told of how the hard toiler spends his wage.* in search of what he, calls pleasure. One famous Quoit player, when crosing over the deep waters of tha cieek on a plank had'the, misfortune to overbalance his hotly, his head being already in kingdom come, with the result- ho avows that he g"t out of his depth - and had to swim for his' life. We congratulate'Teddy on his marvellous escape: from certain death. ' Another certain well known" character was led into an ice cream parlor by a good Samaritan after having wasted U*is all at the saloon' bar and in unconscious penitence, exclaimed—"-Marrow! I'm, completely jiggered!" Mind with a sense of shame wished he could be-like other fellows. ' A certain young mnn from Michel paid a special visit to, 10G last" Sunday for what purpose, who can tjl? Rev.' Wm'. ,Boulton had an overflowing audience ia "the. Methodist, church lust Sunday "night, the seating accommodations being, .inadequate for the crowd. He thought the church was going to be ^doserk'd a few weeks ago, but evidently' the Creek people are becoming better. Three? mom bars of his flock leave tonight (Saturday, namely, Mr. "and Mis% Rothery and R.

Today, 500 less men are employed than there, were then, und under prosont methods of working it is estimated by many of the local exports that no improvements can be expected for at least two years. In the meantime who is to be held responsible for the support y tii.j.-.L. men who were beguiled out here with the prospects of plenty of work and good wages, Feelings are running pretty high over the unemployed and other vexed questions. Mr. Carp, French , Camp, has received notice to quit his house for reasons host known to the niii,*i- ageinent but the bairns will have to purchase thoir candle*** and fruits elsewhere, Mr, Carp was running the only live-cent store in the town, in 'fact, t.hi, only store "apart from Trites- Wood, and wns a special favorite with the children down Fivnohtown, also to pedestrians from Firnie, who longed for a juioy orange ou the way after being heated by stepping the ties. But alas, alas, if you arrive in Coal Creek after (| p,m, you must go wilhoul •.neb luxuries. The qui'stiou i-i being asked "Why:*-" If the editor" makes a "mistake folks say he ought to be, hung biit if. a doctor makes any mistakes he buries them'-and. the people "daisent say nothing because doctors can read'and write Latin. , When the editor makes a mistake there ■ is lawsuits .- and swearing and a big,fuss; but if a doctor makes .one' there is a funeral, cut flowers a'nd perfect silence. A doctor can use a word a yard' long* without him'-'-"or anybody knowing what' it means";, but if ah editor'uses one'he lias to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another man's wife* he charges for the visit; but if the-editor goes he gets.- a charge of buckshot, " When the doctor gets' ".drunk it's a ease of being overcome ,by the heat, and .if" he. dies its from'heart trouble; when an" editor gets drunk its a case of too much booze aind if he dies its the jim-jams. Any old college can make a doctor; a editor has to.be born.^—Rapid River Rustler. Baynes ARRESTS MADE AT PINCHER CREEK Joe Backs and C. Lurgis. left last week for Cranbrook to join a" survey party.

", In Connection With Attempt To Crack Milling Co.'s Safe Pincher Creek,'Sept: 24.--Last evening two arrests were effected by .the Mounted Police'in the' matter of tho attempt to crack the Pincher Creek" Mill and Elevator Co.'s safe. During ihe afternoon information was -brought in to the effect that two men had' been seen to arrive ut~*a disused' rhack some miles east of town during the early 'morning, coming from the direction of Pincher Creek. • The ■Mounted, Police, members .went, out aiid linding them in, the"building described .brought them in.

All the towns along the border, have .been notified of the crime and $500 reward, and it, will prove practically impossible for the fugitives to cross into the States in that direction, In fact it is believed now that the murderers are hiding close to .the, :town or have managed to secret themselves in some passing train a,nd escaped. A force of constables guard alii trains" passing through Elk- horn and at each point in this district foi' j onp hundred miles all suspicious persons are being forced to give an account of themselves.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1908-09-26 |
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. |
