Ho himself went forth boasting ln his strength, and still more In his talents.

With as littlo reserve had ho declnred that ho would open tho campaign on the Mouse and Sambro.

Wo do not. dony thnt this plan might havo boon dno of coiiRldorablo. ability, but ho did not take Into account that he was to bo opposed to ability superior to his own, that unpalatable truth his vanity would not allow him to bo- llevo nor would It easily find crodlt with his ndmlrorR: but. tho 18t.li of Juno wo trust will satisfy tho most Incredulous, Two hundred and ton pieces of canon!

He took up a pick and tried to pick his way out, but while nt his task and hearing the shouts of Dannus and Kozlowskl from above him, he, without a moment's hesitation cast, all thought of self aside, and rushed, to tho nld of hi,**- comrades.

They shouted to him to get them out but ho could not movo Ihem an both were, fast In the small hole, Thoy then shouted to him to cut tho bulkhead from around them but ho had no axo. However, having the pick with him, hctried to loosen the. boards with that, but lt was without avail, All this time Donilno wns without a light, tho gas not allowing that to burn, Apparently while still trying to loosen tho bulkhead the gas fortunately overcame him and ho fell down tho chuto (manway) a distance of,about 30 feet, whoro ho was discovered by the rescuers still tUlvo but breathing heavily.

That so uuacademic a word as "bum" (which by the way was in inverted commas,) should have been sufficient to be considered "an attempt to knock Blairmore" (knock in the original as expressed in "quaint and academical" style is minus these useful quotation marks) should have called forth so rhetorical an effusion proves the truth of the old saying "great oaths from little corns grow." ■ The effort, to make out a caso against us is' decidedly labored as tho headlines should convince oven a "Vindicator", but for the edification of our critic and also for any who did not read the District Ledger of May 28, we reproduce: ..

"Our intention was to call the* attention of the miners' to the very unsatisfactory state existing in Blairmore, in so far as it affected them in their pursuit for employment, and not for the purpose of advertising any of the businesses located in this pretty village, for this we would have deemed a breach of professional etiquette, for the very simple reason that it would have been a trespass on the preserves oil our captious critic, whose deductions, from his - article, clearly show him to be much more interested in the impersonal things than iri the welfare of human beings.

Ford Verrinder, as registrar-treasurer of the provincial board of, dental examiners, and the other examiners, who in 1909 refused to grant him a license to practice on th'e grounds that he Had"failed in his examinations. The case has been before the courts in'one'form and another for a long time past, and the suit for damages follows the examination of records which the .dental board was ordered to place in the hands of W. ,T. Taylor, K. C, plaintiff's counsel, and which includes the examination papers executed by Richards.' The plaintiff takes the ground, that he was fraudulently and wilfully prevented from passing this examination by the examiners. According to his allegations he graduated from the' Philadelphia Denial Collei-e i'n 1909, ob'uin-ng 'bird pJ-i'-p. Upon taking examinations here he was informed tliat'he-had failed in both the writteirand oral-examination, and made a request that tho examiners furnish him with an account of* his marks and his papers. Dr. Verrinder, who was registrar treasurer of the board, refused to grant* the request, ■upon-^Avhich-'Richards—applied—for ar writ of-mandamus which Mr. Justice Irving refused. When the present - damage, action was commenced the defendants made1 nn application to have it dismissed on the ground that It. was frivolous, and vexations.' This' application was dis- .missed by both the lower courts and the Court of Appeal and an order was made later compelling the other members of the examining board, outside of Dr. Verrinder to come to Victoria, for examination. The examination of Dr, Verrinder was set for yesterday, but stood over until Monday, On Tuesday the other mcbors of the ex- amnllng board will bo examined for discovery. ." .

LEDGER, FERNiE, B:C. JUNE 18, 1910 . . -:. Awaiting Development- Iron, Lead, Goal and Copper Found SAN FRANCISCO", June 15—Sir R. A. 1-ladfield, once president of the Iron and' Steel Institute of Great Britain, inventor ot manganese stee) and one of the most prominent manufacturers of war materials in the world, has arrived in tho United States accompanied by Lady Hadfiold, who is a sister of lhe United States Attorney General Wlckersham. The distinguished couplo are making a leisurely tour of the world. Sir Robert has boon for thirty years the bead and owner of tho Hadfiold Steel Fouudry Ltd., of Sheffield, Eng., whero most of the projectiles for the British government nre -.mnde. Interviewed here Sir Robert, said he and ,Lady lladfield left England last December and' had visited Egypt, Ceylon. Rangoon, Singapore, Hongkong, Shanghai. .Jajmn, China and Honolulu. In Tokio tliey were presented to the Emperor and Empress of Japan. Discussing the Oriental question Sir Robert said thai lie had plenty of opportunity to'correclly gauge tho sltua- ' lion. a "England, America and Japan will in iho future be ihe ruling' powers of the world. If Japan will be guided by the older counsels'of Encland and America she will havt a mighty future.. Remarkable progress is observable everywhere in Japan. Japan is only too anxious to preserve good feeling with America, to cement her alliance with England arid to' have a peaceful future in which to1 expand educationally and commercially. "Japan admires England, but * she sagely and firmly says: England, you must keep up your end. You must not lot any nation beat you with the fleet,- Japan is anxious for England., lo maintain the supremacy of the seas. One very extraordinary feature of, our visit lo- Japan was that we never saw any poverty, and not a single beggar, came to us for a penny. > "There will be a greater.awakening in the Orient than tlie world has ever dreamedNof.. The Japanese have a surplus population and as Ihey. are becoming-so-highly trained and will accomplish _tlmosfreverything-the-Japan**- ese should be encouraged lo make the world advance, for a general commercial advantage all around would, accrue. I am firmly convinced that some day China will be the metallurgical centre of the world, for she possesses enormous resources of untold magnitude. , Iron, coal, copper and lead are thero in immense quantities. Curiously enough, my voyage across tho ' Pacific Ocean to San Francesco was tho beginning of a Chinese epoch, for we carried tho first cargo of Chinese pig iron.' i* * BARBAROUS AMERICA sale ancl importation of matches made with white phorphorous. .Nearly all the countries of Europe have either' prohibited the use of the white phosphorous or endeavored to restrict most stringently its use. But, of course, America has done nolhing, " Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma have endeavored to prevent employers from using children of tender years in match manufacture, but they do not succeed even in that. - • And so America enjoys the distinction of being in this as in many other matters the most barbarous country in" t he world. An inquiry has been made into the subject by John B. Andrews, which is now published in Bulletin SG of J he Bureau of Labor at Washington. It is not pleasant reading, especially that part which deals witha'score ot more workers who have been poisoned in this industry. Anna was one of the match girls- who died of phosphorous poisoning. '" She began work at fourteen years of age. After she had worked a few months she felt sensitive to cold and heal in a tooth that had beon filled. The tooth was finally extracted and it was discovered that at""tho roots of it there was pus from a poisonsd jaw, An abeess extended down the side of the neck and tho bones woro involved. - ■ Sho suffered terrible agony; could not eat and slowly starved to death as a result of the poison. The story of Anna is Jusi that of one little girl, but tho scientific investiga-' tor at Washington tells of many other girls and boys who have suffered like Anna. Ilo speaks of one old woman, who as a result of poisoning hud lost her lower jaw altogether, and for twonty years sbe had masticated her food by pressing il against her upper jaw with her thumb. " * ' The investigator al AVashington tells us there is a harmless substitute for white phosphorus thatjs readily available. AA'hy then, wo ask is not this substitute used? The answer is very simple, says the investigator frankly: "Many manufacturers would gladly ,dQ so, but it, costs just a little more to make the non- poisonous matches." - And for that most excellent Christian reason Anna suffered agonies ami died and an old woman uses her poor old thumb for a lower jaw for twenty years. _ „ , *' AN EDITOR GETS HIS Montreal Herald Buildini Total Wreck—List of Those Killed Penticton Man Deposed from Bench- Did he Tell the Truth?

Clement of the Penticton Press, the resignation , df the commission heretofore held by him as one of his majesty's justices of the peace in and for the province .of British ^Columbia, a letter to this,effect despatched to Penticton yesterday constituting the very latest development in the scandal "of whicirainhB Samirivameei. is~rail_ ing angrily—and with cause. "In his paper of tho 28th of May Editor Clement made the death of King Edward the* text of-a disloyal and contemptuous editorial screed,* in which royalty and its personnel were contemptuously referred to and the mourning for Edward the Peacemaker dismissed with cheap sneers. So indignant were tho residents of the district over the offensive and Insulting article that the editor barely escaped rough usage at the hands of a self appointed committee of disciplinarians. Even this does not seem to have brought Editor Clements to a realization of his position in having much worse than offended against every canon of decency and good taste. Having perused tho original objectionable article, which was headed:— "Mock Loyalty and Mock Mourning," as woll as the subsequent reference In tho Press to lho visit of thc "vlt*. hints" lion, Mr. Dowser yesterday wrote to the Penticton editor noting his vory strong disapproval of the Ideas oxpros- sod in tho columns of tho Pross, and Ihat Mr. Clement's odllorlnl expressions nlloslod noil-recognition of tho peculiar position ns the holder of his majesty's commission ns a justice of tho peace, and requesting Ihul.

NO FRUIT FOR MANITOBA British Columbia Product All Neoded for Albertn and Saskatchewan MONTREAL, June 13—Between 20 and 30 people are believed to have lost their lives this morning at 10.30 when the supports of the sprinkler* system of tho tank on the roof the Herald building gave way, and the great mass of metal and water weighing 35 tons, went crashing downward tp the basement, ' In its fall it look with il men, women and machinery, and then when aH lay in a jumbled mass at the bottom fire broke oui and added io its horrors. No ono knows how many lie dead in the pile of debris that fills ihe basement. All the afternoon the firemen wore engaged in demolishing tottering walls that had to'come down before the work of rescuing the bodies could be safely attempted, and it was not until six o'clock thai the first remains, charred and mangled beyond recognition were brought out from'the building. Warning Unnoticed All of those who escaped agree that lho-jfirst warnings of the impending disaster passed almost unheeded and unnoticed. There was a slight creak-, ing, Lhen somewhat more'pronounced.' Then those who looked up at the ceiling saw that the, plaster was falling, Some started fov the stairways but before they could reach them came the great crash. , Some of tliem felt the floor sinking beneath thoir feet and some of the survivors tell of falling ono or two stories before the awful crash died away and then found themselves, ablo to crawl in the dense dust to a0placo of safety. . Thc majority found safety by rushing lo the front of the building facing on Victoria Sq? Fortunately all the floors' hold for 30 back from the front wall and to this ! is due the fact that thc death list docs not run into the hundreds, for there wero nearly ,- three hundred people in the building al the time the accident took place'. Display of Heroism , People passing the building hoard the crash and some one turned in the fire alarm from a nearby box. The first ladder was on the scene inside of two minutes and the firemen found the windows of the upper flats crowd- WINNIPKG, Juno in.—J, C.

Ladder after .adder as it arrived, was quickly placed in position, and those in danger were brought 'to the ground. There were some real examples of heroism. A ladder was put up t'o the fourth floor where the binders were, and-it came near to ono window and not far from another. From this latter a little girl crept along the casing until she could reach the ladder. This she grasped with one hand and with the' other lent a helping hand to other girls twice her own size. When nil the girls had reached the ladder and been brought down in safely she came down alono. By the lime this wa3 dono the fire had started and smoke was pouring from tho front windows through which she was compelled to gropo her way, When she reached the bottom of the ladder she fainted. Sensational Rescue A dozen Injured . persons were brought from tho ruins by the firemen, many of thom with broken limbs. Of those rescues, that of Fred Vidnl, a stereotype!', was thc most sensational.

Editorial Department Safe .All the members of the editorial.department escaped uninjured as the water taiil. did not wreck the front of the building where the editorial rooms were located. At 2 o'clock-lhe flames were under'control. Thc dead at this hour are estimated at 15, and the firemen are now searching the ruins for bodies. . .,, * . Three Hundred Employees In tlie Herald building there were about 300 employees all told, "most of them being near the front of the building. ' Had it not boen. for this the death ..list would have been, much larger. The-.Herald took possession of the destroyed buildipg five years ago on Labor day of this year. ■ It consisted of five floor aud a .basement, each of the floors being separated into two parts by a stone dividing wall, the complete length of the building. The tank which caused the damage was built over four years and on' the rear of the building, Below it were a hundred girls at work. Most of these were in the fore part of the flat so* that the death list was somewhat modified. . Below the bindery is the stereotyping plant and composing room in which there were about 75 printers on the machines and at lhe presses. The engraving room was right under the tank. The stereotype plant was also.lmmediately below the lank and the men there got the full force of the crash. Awful Crash Nearby are linotype maciilnes, and those nt the* south end of the row of machines were caught in thg rush of debris, and swept to the floors below. In'the roar end'of the flat below'is the job composing room in which'there were twenty men working at the cases. Below this again is the editorial department. The editors and reporters have rooms in the front and all escaped with slight injuries! In tho rear were the are department and' the society department. Those there fortunately escaped as the tank seemed to have gone through between the two rooms and ihe editorial department. The tank and tho debris that accompanied'it stopped in great, part at the next floor which is the business offices and is on the main floor, Below the floor on which the tank fell aro lho offices of the,* job department and only, a doze/n clerks were at work hero., Some of the debris smashed its way through lho floor to the cellar, and it is on the main floor and the basement that the victims wore pinned down. Insurance on the building and plant is estimated al $300,000. THE COMPANIES, NOT GOD, TO BLAME The Western Federation of Miners,- .the United Mino Workers, and even othor workers will no longer quietly submit lo, nor acquiesce, in- the' associated press literary contributions attributing appalling mining disasters as "acts of God."* AVhilo man surmises much but knows little of the real visitations of divine wrath, it is most ungrateful to, charge such disasters as enough' to buy food, it is not fair and it is not.-common sense to say that they enjoy the freedom to contract for the sale of their labor. "Many .women in their struggles for food, and shelter, yes, and for life itself,'are willing, even eager, to work long hours every day in every week in the year, year in and year out; until their,,bodies break under the strain. But the wishes of. such women should not be allowed to militate against the welfare of womankind and of mankind in general. When a woman, be she maid or mother, h&_ worked in a factory ten long hours, she has toiled the limit that the law of tbis country can allow, ; "Must the selfish desire of a few men.to sell more goods, to grind out more orders, be allowed to stifle, the needful demands of maidenhood and of motherhood?" .* - ' ** 45*!

JUNE 18, 1910 PAGE THREE MEIWON History of the Bitterest and Longest Miners' Strike Known ,(By J. B. McLaughlin iri.the Social- Ijts, Review.), y, ... ,.*■• .' "•On July 6,, 1909, *ivas inaugurated, "what has turned out to be.the largest, ^longest and "bitterest strike of 'coal miners'ever waged in Canada. The unique thing about.this fight ,is the transformation of a*.trade union called *' the Provincial Workman's Association with a thirty years life behind it, into ; a" scab organization that welcomes into its ranks Imported" strike breakers of every, kind and description. * Thero are some 13,000 miners ln Nova Scotia, a third of whom up till , t\\vo years ago belonged to the P. W. A. For years the- miners', of this organization carried on a very unequal ""struggle against the Dominion Coal * Company, the .largest coal corporation in Canada. Sheer economic "necessity ,*.„ at length forced them to appeal to the ■ United Mine Workers of America' to come over and organize them' into', a • district of that body. The P. W. A." in its palmiest days was never anything "but a little top trade union-that was used by'the coal companies to-make the men believe .. . they were "organized. . .It was patted on the back by politicians, press, pulpit and profit monger and lauded to the* skies, by these as an organization well ' able1 to look after every interest of the '' mine workers. Grand Secretary is . its highest office, and was for many * years and still is, filled by John Mof- ■ fatt.- Oily, smooth, pious; a man who invariably, when attacked, plays the roll of'the martyr to tho limit. By birth a Scotchman; by adoption a Canadian; , by nature* a traitor; by' profession a scab organizer; anu^by long and con- , tinued habit the arch-lick-spittle of the ■ Dominion Company. Such Is the man who fills the office of Grand Secretary of the P.W.A.' At. the'behest of the. Coal Companies this fellow called a convention of the P. W. A. in May of 1908 'to put' a stop to the agitation going on amongst the men for the Introduction of the* U. M. ,. W. of A." ' The convention met and he*failed. '-''This convention decided " to take..a referendum vote as to whe- ";' ther,the miners of Nova Scotia should _.__Qi_n_thelH__M. W. of A., or remain in their choice, and March 1909, at length arrived.*' Navigation was again about to open and coal could be shipped by the St. Lawrence;" The Dominion Coal Company was in a dilemma. Greed and fear filled their -hearts. Greed said "Take back the men and make profits' nofr." Fear pointed to the strong, virile, aggressive organization that .'would assuredly if it got a foot-, hold; make a large inroad on the dividends in the future. A hurried meeting of all the coal operators of the province was called, and met in the "town of Truro, N.S., and a compromise between fear and greed was reached. Each was sworn "not to deal in any way, whatever with the U. M", W. of A., but to sustain and do business with the.P..W. A.". '* The locked out men were taken on but they realized that the.cessation of hostilities was only temporary, and on July -1, 1909, over 'two* thirds of the employees of the Dominion Coal Company walked --.out on-strike,, the remainder staying with the P. W. A., and giving,the glad hand of welcome to every strike breaker and'"thug imported by the Dominion Coal Company. , The fight was now on in dead earnest.', A month previous to the strike the coal company had 625 special polico sworn in. Many of the "loyal"*P. W. A. members, including John Moffatt, donned the tin badge of the corporation thug, which gave them the right to swagger around town with a gun on their hip. , ,600 soldiers and three machine guns were rushed Into the mining towns around Glace Day. During the summer months, especially ob Saturday nights these gun men without reason • or warning would swoop down on the town of .Glace Bay flaunting their naked knives in the air, and hustle peaceable strikers from the side walk into the street. The strikers wero arrested In scores on frivolous and trumped up charges and were thrown into jail. Two continents were ransacked and "everybody, that could be induced to take a free trip to Glace Bay,was given one in the hope that he would remain there a strike break- Scabs and thugs were expected er. to break the strike, but they failed One month after another sped away, and the men still stuck to each other, Meantime the coal company with its loyal P. W.'A. men and its scabs and strike breakers had managed to raise their daily output a few thousand tons. Winter again arrived; enraged at its inability to break the strike with jails, thugs and scabs and Dominion - Coal Company like. another Nero or Nana Sahib turned its ferocity against tender" women and little children. During the past' month hundreds of mothers with- crying,- clinging, trembling little children hanging to their dresses, have been evicted from their homes and thrown out on' the streets in blinding snow storms, with the glass ranging from zero to 18 below. , , - Neither youth, sex, age nor sickness appealed successfully to theso pitiless iron hearted ruffians. An. old and obsolete law was resurrected and the peoples belongiiigs\taken for back rent and some families5 were left with'nothing but, what they stood up in at .the time. "*.,.- ..,'-, ■ The strikers have weathered' the rigours of another Canadian' winter imbued with the spirit that it would be tality had failed. The men had^been fighting for ten months for something substantial and refused to go back to work on promises which appeared to them pretty little airy nothings. The mask was then dropped and seventeen families were thrown on the, street. Men out on suspended sentences were arrested and placed in jail. * One fel- ow who had the hardihood to leave the employ of these good, God fearing men and join'the strikers, had his home entered at midnight by a band', of thugs and he and his family driven off the "company's property" four hours after he had joined the XL* M. W. of A. .The fight has cost the U.*M. W. of A. three quarters of a million, and today preparations are under way to tie up every mine in Nova Scotia, if a settlement is not effected at an, early date. - If. the other operators refuse the* demand's of their men then we can settle down for another year's fight. The men here will win fighting or lose fighting; give up till the* last dollar is spent they never will. . It has been a grand time for socialist propaganda. Hundreds of the men imported were the discontented of the capitalist countries of Europe.. They thought they saw an escape from capitalist, oppression by taking the free passes that were handed to them by the Dominion Coal Company. The Coal Company thought it was importing scabs when it was really bringing in men who shall be its grave diggers. The writer visited a shack where sixteen of theso men were; a U. M. W.'A. interpreter told them I was an officer of the U. M. W. They grinned and nodd-ed; not one of them could speak a word of English. He then said I was a member of Glace Bay Socialist local. That did the trick and in a moment they were around me shaking my hand and the grins gave place to beaming faces. *' The.local comrades have taken.advantage while the miners were in a mood to think and have spread the literature of ' socialism among ■ them, where stoic ' conservatism .hitherto reigned, it is how fast becoming red. On the Whole the fight has been good for us all. • „ ■ " KING GEORGE FREE MINER Claim Located in British Golumbla—Entitled to Ail Privileges. large AFTER KNOWLEDGE Students of, this District at Western Canada College " ,.

I '% i REVELSTOKE, June . 9—A number' of free miners licenses were renewed at the end of May, according to the statement from the'local court house officials. It* is not generally known that his majesty King George V holds by full right a free miners certificate in the Revelstoke Mining division. * The renewal of this license was made on May 31 to King George V., who in payment of $5 in the right of the Dominion of Canada is entitled to all rights and privileges of a free miner, the certificate signed by W. E. Mc- Lachlin being numbered 13440 B? The manner in which King George holds the license is iriterstlng. In 1906 C. Deutschman and A. Johnson discovered the famous "Deutschman Caves" in the Selkirks east of here, and realizing the great value of their find at once proceeded to acquire .a title to the land wherein the caves were located. ^This apparently could pnly be done by taking up the land as mineral claims which they did and staked on the three ...claims names respectively being * Skookum, Drum Lummon and Buckhorn Fraction, all situated near Cougar creek near to Ross peak. After these marvellous, caves had been explored the discoverers transferred the licenses to the. Dominion government who took over the mineral claims in the name of the then reigning monarch Edward, VII. The holder of a mineral claim' in British Columbia must hold a miner's certificate, and consequently the license was issued from the local office to th'e king. On the death of King Edward the -license was made out in the name of King George V. and the usual receipt for the license has been made out and forwarded to the Dominion government, by W. I. Biggs, agent for the department of justice in Canada,- to be forwarded to his majesty King George; , ' • There is a sentimental valuo attached to the' ownership* of British Columbia miners' rights and the fact; that tha king is one of the local mineral claim holders is most interesting. „ Ed. Chas. Deutschman made,the discovery. Arthur Johnson and several friends expended considerable, money advertising them. The C, P. R. tourist hotel at Glacier is only a few miles distant from these marvellous caves. .mil a TVrtn-ii'n-iAi-i rrrt*--*____*»i*_____nf_flnn_-rlonl _n. -X-llO—A-rvillUliyJll- fcjV ■*** '-'i. -iiJivnv-«*vv*uwu.—\.*J include the property in the government park reserve, and have expended considerable money building trails. 'Unless a visitor carries his own supplies the only place' where a meal can bo had is at the C. P. R. hotel. Deutschman, we believe, was offered a position as guide, which he declined. ' .".

TELEPHONE NO. 48 POST OFFICE BOX NO. 5 LABEL> SUGGESTIONS RE JURORS ACT The recent trial of Rex vs. Varlov and Babcock, or as it. is commonly known, the "Hold-up" case, has furnished many subjects for debate. Whatever may have been the opinion regarding tlie innocence or guilt of the accused, the verdict of the jury should end all further discussion on that point. The only matter wliich may, properly be discussed and that, without any bearing which it may' have upon any special case, is the law under wliich jurors are selected, throughout the Province, other than tho Coast. Cities. , ■ . It is not. many years ago since the whole of the interior of the,province, especially East and West Koot- * enay, was inhabited mostly by Indians. There was, under such primitive conditions the "impossibility of applying such jury laws as were applicable to the populated parts. In fact Courts, of Assizes were seldom held outside of the coast towns, and when they were, court sat under such shelter as might be found, and when nothing better could be obtained the proceedings were conducted in the' open. In the .early history of British Columbia, the making of the law was vested in the Governor of the colony, as it was then known. On the' 8th of March, I860, Governor Douglas ' issued a'proclamation dealing with the selection of grand and petit juries. In that proclamation' we read the following: "And whereas in many parts of British Columbia, "there is found to be great difficulty in procuring, on "proper occasions a sufficient number of British subjects "to sit upon' grand and petit juries.' ' The law by proclamation did service throughout Her .Majesty's Colonies of British' Columbia and its dependencies, until'the year 1883. when the-Jurors Act was pass- and downs in life, yet should an "individual come from another locality and state that ho had been fortunate enough to escape them, a short residence in our miOsi would compel the admission that, no longer could immunity be claimed'from the common lot of humanity. . The gait is the direct opposite of that of a seafaring man, which is of the lateral order, this being more on the vertical or in more ordinary and better understood parlance, a kind of humpty-dumpty movement. A short walk about the city will be all that Is needed to explain the reason, viz., tho very many variations of unequal grades that prevail. The sidewalks in some places look as though a slight earthquake shock had been experienced as the billowy appearance most assuredly lends color to this theory. If the urievenness were limited to a few inches it would mot be so bad, still there are places where it is nearly a foot.' We must congratulate somebody for the reparation that has recently been made near the Trites-Wood store, and the thanks of the community are due to whoever brought the two sidewalks flush as it has long been a menace to foot passengers and more especially to those who'wheeled baby buggies. For the present we are going to call attention to one avenue, and that McPherson. Go down past the post office, and (lie provincial jail, and then to the top of the hill; before lhe descent is made down on to the old recreation ground, turn to the right, 'and you are on an avenue which sadly needs attention. Stroll along and there are two features that will strike the passer by, and that is tho care taken of the gardens and the lawns Is the very opposite to, what obtains "in regard to the roadway. Piles of rock, stumps of trees, tin cans of all sizes ancl brands, The sidewalk is so high that serious accidents may result if one fall, and more especially to children. Not, only would the fall give one a shock, but if the tumble happened at certain, spots very severe injuries might bo afflicted. We know there is a lot of work to be done, but this particular avenue is an eyesore and the, residents on il are entitled to some consideration. To grade it properly is quite a heavy undertaking, iind will necessitate many thousand cubic feet of filling, yet that does not prevent it being made more presentable at no great outlay. kkkkkkkkk*k**kkkki ■¥. | Letters To- The Editor J i t $*********:**************** FROM THE POET .

Much of what had then become a province still remained a practical wilderness inhabited by aborigines and a few prospectors and traders. The Jurors' Act was limited in its operations to.the Coast Cities. The Proclamation Law remained in force and still remains in force in all other sections of the province. There has been mn extensive development of what- before that time had been inaccessible forest regions. Whero one "had to travel on foot or with cayuse over bridle paths, and through territory having no trails at all, we find not only one, but In the majority of cases moro than one railroad . cntaring the country. , Cities and towns have taken tlie place of the forest, -so that it Is quite as easy to reach tho great interior of British Columbia as It Is to got to tho coast. Notwithstanding all this development, no change whatever has boon mado ln the Jury Law, Except for tho Coast Cities a jury for the rest of tho province is chosen ln the way that was dono fifty years ngo. Undor tho Jurors Act the Grand and Special Juries aro selected by officials appointed for that purpose from the Revised Register of Voters, Tho selection of jurors throughout the province other than within tho coiiRt cities, is left, ln the hands of tho sheriff' ,or a bailiff.

In your issue of last' week you questioned the legality of reducing the circus license. ■ The Free Press criticised the conduct or rather misconduct of the city in certain matters. When the Press thus unite in outspoken condemnation of things the public may well look foi' beneficial results. As to. the circus matter tliere is' no doubt whatever that if the council or anyone else reduced the license fee an illegal act was.committed, just as much so as if one trader were made to pay one fee and another a differential one. The Council may pass by-laws but neither it nor any of its officials has the legal power to suspend them or their, operation. To a* professional * man liko myself it is quite evident that in many respects Fernie works its laws not according to the spirit thereof so much as it does according to caprice or whims.. ' Is it *not too true that crime is licensed? In the last .analy- sis'it will be found that the law is not fairly administered there being too much of th'e fish or one and flesh of another style. The indifference of the • ratepayers as to thc expenditure of their money lias seemingly, resulted in a kind pf belief that the city is a philanthropic institution, careless as to the number of servants it employs and regardle/ of what they do. There seems to be no head or tail to the conduct of the city's business. Let any one who doubts this assertion take a walk around the city and witness for himself the work being done by the payroll army. How, many know, tho number of men employed on the water works? Are the city's assets whether they consist' of' currency,' water "or ,something_else__b_eing_filche_d_?__Bear_,iiL mind that there are more ways than one of stealing. Water e.g. may be the subject of theft. Is it true or not that many persons use a common tap, thus depriving the city of a legitimate .source of revenue? When I ran for tho office of Mayor my opponent and I were agreed that financial audits should be made and published at least once every three months. He saw with me at that time that the public' had a right to know something from time to time about civic expenditure. Has his faith in' publicity been lost and if so why 30? ,, Who knows whether or not there is an overdraft, and' if one what lt does amount to; and why it was created and how it Is secured? ■ How does revenue compare with expenditure?* The business man whoso outlay would exceed his Income would soon come to grief. I am not saying that tho city Is spending more than itsrevonue, but I claim that no one seems to .know whero we stand. So long as an overdraft, can bo maintained nnd checks cashed In that way no nuepllons are asked, but, should thoro lm a stoppage of those things what position would we bo In? Wo cannot, afford lo go on paying for glnfeor bread oxtravagance. Why Is thoro .nn oldormmilc vacancy? Tho people are entitled by right and nol by grace ,1.o have tho Council mndo up lo.'the iiiiinhnr tliat tlu* law requires, Is thoro a belief that a new man will nsk questions? If one dnro to quostion the administration of lnw or the oxpondituro of what Ifi his own money (ho being a ratepayer) "ho is tormed a knocker, Ih It knocking to call I'or an Impartial onforcomont of tho laws, and crlllclHO, iik you havo Mr. Editor, have done, a departure from Uioho laws? Unfortunately lho ratepayers ai'o entirely too Indlfforont about what aro tliolr affairs, tho rosult bolng that tho cily Is run aftor tho principle of everyone being IiIh own mastor.

Le groupe s'appule sur une colonno ourle sculptour a represente quelsques- unea des plus celebres inventions ou se complut Jules Verne; le "Nautilus" du Captalne Nemo, un ballon pris dans la bourrasque, un boulet qui file vers la lune, The Toronto World reports that instead of from seven to ten thousand men turning out at Niagara-on-the- Lake encampment only five thousand put in an appearance.' ' Lieut-Colonel Galloway gave out the results of the census this afternoon. There are'S34 men and G3S horses in the First Cavalry Brigade; 812 men and 657 horses in the 5th Provisional Brigade; 1059 men in tlie 3rd Infantry .Brigade; 1051 in the fourth, aud 954 in the fifth. „ The reason assigned are: That men are unpatriotic enough to stay away on account of the monetary consideration; that the,bad weather das prevented others; cannot get leave from work; others had left home and others were sick. What sad days we are fallen upon! If a man be afforded*) the opportunity of wearing "the natty uniforms furnished free simply because' of spending a few paltry dollars he ought to be ashamed of himself. * If deterred from attending because of bad weather surely these recalcitrants ought to,make' no objection if they-are dubbed "feather bed warriors," . What a delightful state of affairs if, when called upon to fight a. real battle they went on strike because- the elements were .not favorable, instead of proving their patriotism rain or shine, hot or cold,'and running tho risk of catching if not the enemy, a very severe cold or perhaps having a leg shot off or an eye.displaced. Those summer jaunts arc only'of a pleasurable character, and therefore everything should be dono to make them agreeable. If the drill weather bo bad practices should be held under a waterproof canopy, and when absolutely imperative to go out roomy umbrella hats, provided. Unless some such methods' are adopted it. will still be more difficult*lo procure recruits because if the real discomfort and the dancers of actual warfare were in operation, voluntary 'enlistment would be very few and probably '- conscription have to be, resorted to in order to get enough material for food for, powder, subjects for anatomical dissection or meals for the birds of prey.

Look at the ingratitude of men;'horr*'s a chance to have a building erected that would give employment to the craftsmen in the building trade and after its completion be used for the laudable purpose of protecting property that might be considered endangered if a strike were declared. ' Tho Unions* are largely responsible for the lack of enthusiasm shown as it is a condition of. membership in many of the organizations, that no member of the mllllla, army or navy reserve man shall be allowed to join; in fact one of tho labor leaders In a speech was unkind enough to say that "a union man-in the militia was a He in uniform.'

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : J. W. Bennet |
Date Issued | 1910-06-18 |
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. |
