' ADAM SCHADE Notary Public "My commission expires February'9th, 1910.- - .. " FROM, PRESIDENT LEWIS May'7 1910 To the Members of the United Mine Workers: *> ' • Since last reporting on the general situation contracts' have, been agreed to in Western Pennsylvania, as well as iri District 11, Indiana. The agreements reached in Districts 5 and 11 are very satisfactory to our' membership, and everything is running along as smoothly as -can be expected. - Contracts have now been negotiated and signed up in .Central and Western Pennsylvania. Ohio and both districts of Indiana, as well as the Kanawha District of West Virginia and District 23, Kentucky. In Kentucky and the Kanawha District of West Virginia the operators and miners are getting' along very nicely with every prospect,of the organization growing and a better understanding between tho -- operators' representatives and the representatives of the United Mine Workers. There is very good prospect, for settlements in Michigan nnd Iow'aa within the next few days. This is especially true of Iowa. - Illinois operators nnd miners are going to meet in Joint Convention in Peoria, 111., on Tuesday, May 10, and it is hoped that they will be able to get together! .' There is no change in the situation in the* Southwest except that an effort is being made to bring about a conference that will be productive of some tangible results. There is a Joint Conference at Forth1 Worth, Texas, with every prospect, of reaching an agreement by the time this issue of the Journal reaches its readers. There is practically no change in the situation in Colorado, but an effort is being made to re-open negotiations for the purpose of endeavoring to negotiate a contract. ' * In all those Districts where contracts have been negotiated, every effort should be made by our members to co-operate with the officers,of the district to have the mines operated under the terms of the contract. In those districts where contracts have not been negotiated and signed up, our members should lend every effort within <-.their' power * to strengthen the position of those who are negotiating wage agreements. —The*!=uest=result3==can=be==sccurea—«y a hearty and an active co-operation on the part of all concerned. Yours truly, T. L. LEWIS, President U. M. W. of A. wages at the rate of 25 cents per hour and a nine hour day. The men claim that it was understood in January that they were to'get 271/*, cents per hour for j-sewer work, hence the strike to bring the city to time in regard to this understanding. There was a murmur that tho men would be liable under the Investigation Disputes Act, but if tho men's contention is right there is little lo bring this side of the-question up, The city officials are trying to fill the places of the strikers with other men. Comparing the work done by these men to work done by men in oxcavat- ing for buildings, the work ought to be as well paid for as the other. Twenty- seven and one half cents an hour Is the rato paid to men. excavating for basement and it is a far easier job than the sewers. The satisfactory state of the streets since the' cily had the work done by hand labor is proof that the men work hard and faithfully and should receive, as good money if not better* than is received for other excavating work. MINERS GO. BACK Seventeen Thousand Men in Iowa Resume Work Now-at Increased - Wages DES MOINES, Iowa, May 17—Seventeen thousand Iowa mine workers picked up their tools' today and- resumed work in the mines after a 'suspension of work for six weeks. , , As a result of concessions granted to the miners the operators have advanced the price of coal mined in the 13th Iowa, district by two cents, per ton. ■' *^«#^#/ MISS IDA GEORGE ELLIOTT A ONE-SIDED ARGUMENT A Hereford gentleman met an eccentric- old squire of his acquaintance riding with only one spur. __l_\V_hat_have_you' done with the oth- CIVIC EMPLOYEES STRIKE (Southern Alberta Labor Bulletin.)

CLAIMS OF THE LEGITIMISTS The Fax Concert Company which visits us on Saturday night in the Fernie opera house has been duplicating the tremendous success with which they were received last season: They haveL.won a name for themselves which will be very hard to take away, that of being one of the very best concert companies that the public of this country has ever heard. Fax is in himself a host, and with the talented artists who surround him a treat of no mean order is in store for'our citizens. As a character ' delineator, Jimmy Fax has porhaps no equal on the concert stage today.

Others Have Made Money in Oii Not You? Advantages bf Investment in Oil Securities are operating in shallow territory which assures inexpensive drilling and quick action on the invested capital. ■ ' ' Crude oil at the present market price is being purchased from the producer at sixty three cents per barrel at the well. Mr. Aubrey, California State Mineralogist, states that oil at $1 per barrel is cheaper fuel than coal. ' Two and a half barrels of oil are equal to as fuel a ton of coal, so that quantity of oil at a dollar a barrel or $2.50 is the equal of a ton of coal at $8. Taking the'federal geologists' figures as a basis for calculation, tliere is at present in the Coalinga District oil worth $2,000,000,000. The great Comstock mines produced only $645,000,000. The Property of The Coalinga Eureka Oil Co. Close to Great Gusher Well The holdings of the Coalinga Eureka Oil Company consists of eighty acres, situated in Section 24, Township 21 South, Range'14, East, Fresno County, California, separated by only two.sections from the famous Section 6, the home of the great '' Silver Tip'' gusher, and of the Lucile, Amy, Pacific States Oil Companies, etc., all of whom rank foremost among the big producers of=this great field. Section 18, adjoining the Coalinga Eureka property is the scene of unequalled activity. Derricks have been built, tools hauled* out, and drilling operations are being carried on with relentless energy. It is the undoubted opinion of experts and -practical_oiLmen_tliat-.Sections_18Jand_24..are_destine_d_ to produce some of the most remarkable wells in the Coalinga field. E. "W. Preston,'probably the best expert in the whole of the Coalinga field, and superintendent of, the Consolidated Oil Company (which adjoins our Coalinga-Eureka property) and also General. Manager, of'the *New York Coalinga and Aladdin Oil Companies (all producing) writes regarding the property of the Coalinga Eureka Oil Company: - *■ "You ask me to give you an expert report on your " land in Sections 24, 21 and 14, I have just returned " from a very careful examination of the,property. " You have the same identical formation that has made " the entire West side of the Coalinga field famous'. " You are sure to get good wells'at medium depth. " This property adjoins our property and I have been " trying to purchase this samo tract. While I regret " that we were unable to procure it, I cannot refrain " from congratulating you on securing such a desirable " piece of oil land. It means success to your Com*. " pany," ■ Plans of The Company It is tho plan of the Company to drill and complete at least four wells during tho present year, These wells, according to tho output of wells on adjacent propocrty, should havo nn average yield of 400 barrels por well, or 1600 barrels per day, 48,000 barrels per month, which would enable tho Company to pay DIVIDENDS TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OP PROM 3 TO 5 PER CENT PER MONTH besides holding in reserve a large sum of money for fnrthor development, Stock and Disposition of Funds To complete thoir first well tho Company is placing on tho mnrkot n block of 50,000 shares of Treasury Stock, fully paid and iion-BBHcromblo, at 25 cents per Hhiiro; when this stock is disposed of tho price will bo materially advanced.

Ninety-nine people out of a hundred would probably say The Times. But.they would be wrong, that is, if one may judge the importance of a newspaper, by the official character of its news, says a London exchange. The title really belongs to the London Gazette; the oldest and least read of any newspaper in the country. It is issued by the government,'and is the channel of communication between royalty,. the cabinet-and the "people. Kings and queens have written for it, while cabinet ministers are regular contributors. Its advertisements are regulated by Jaw, and no great manufacturer could obtain a "puff" even although he were willing to pay £10,- 000 a line for it. The Gazette varies considerably iu size.' Sometimes it consists merely of one page and sometimes between 400 and 500. In one memorable week, in 1S47—tho Railway Yoar—so many parliamentary notices had to be published that the Gazette for one week totalled about '3000 pages; but 'the price remains the same, namely Is, and it is said to yield a profit of about £20,000 a year, in spite of the fact that it has never been sold at a railway bookstall and no newsboy, has ever cried Its name on the street. Practically the only people who buy it are government officials and lawyers. The Gazette is the oldest and at the same time the youngest paper5 in the kingdom, as well as being the most Important. It was published in the reign of Charles II,, and has ever since appeared twice a week, with supplementary issues now and then if required. It was first published at Oxford, as court was in residence there during the .plague, but when the latter abated it was brought, to London, and for more than 130 years has been published by Messrs. Harrison, the well- known printers of St, Martin's Lane. At the same time it is \the youngest newspaper for the reason thai only a few weeks ago it contained the foi-1 lowing announcement: „ "This journal has been registered at the d'.' P. 0. for transmission by inland post as a newspaper." ' ., ' Previously it had been* regarded as a government publication only, and was dispatched "O. H. M. S." iri this way escaping postal * charges alto- letlier";- Mf~appafently . Long ago before the advent of the' telegraph and special editions, the Gazette officers were besieged by anxious crowds, who had no other channel from which to learn the news. An interesting illustration of the im-' portant position held by the Gazette before newspapers, and telegraphs ' were, what they,,*-are is furnished by the manner in which the news of the battle of the Alma was made public * in 1851. The news was received by the secretary of state late on Saturday evening. There were no newspapers until Sunday, and it was Important^ that the public anxiety should be allay- *■ ed by the widest possible circulation of such a piece of news. •■ Mr. James Harrison was sent for, and the position explained to him 'Mien he reached Downing street. Ho immediately thought of the .theatres. There were three or four of thein open then; why not have the.-telegram read out there? The plan was considered excellent and Mr. Harrison returned to St, Martins Lane and set up tho news with his own hands, and sent men around to the theatres with early copies o fthe Gazette. "See the manager," were ■ the instructions to the messengers. "Take no refusal. Insist upon having the performance at once stopped by order of the secretary of state, while the news is read out." The men obeyed their orders to the let-. ter and at Drury Lane and other theatres the scenes were historic. In the ' meantime Mr. Harrison made his way to the Mansion House and communicated the glad tidings to,the Lord Mayor and sheriffs." Below we give an extract from an original is.iw. of this paper in the possession of our townsman, \V. J. Bh'.i> <tell Jn which the stoic calmness of * •-■porting events of such a magnitude, is widely,different to what'obtains in theso days of scare heads: The London Gazette, Published by Authority, from Monday, September, 3 to Monday, September 10, 16G6.

"tlie" government saw a way to reap a few extra halfpennies. The Gazette is probably the only paper which, returns the original copy to its authors along with the proof.

TELEPHONE NO. 48 POST OFFICE BOX NO, 5 COST OF LIVING The question of the cost oMlvIng Is aa ever-present subject for discussion, a theme upon which the newsmonger can dilate ad infinitum,'whilst to the housewife of moderate or very limited means It is a vexatious problem equalling in difficulty the riddle of the Sphinx. " Under the caption of "The, Problem of Existence,"' the June issue of the "Cosmopolitan" reproduces a symposium from the pens bf various well known writers, financiers and business men of the United States who contribute'expressions of opinion which, although diverse and in some cases widely different, are exceedingly, interesting. .Every utterance can be readily traced as proceeding from tlieir econimic environment whereby,,the student of the "dismal science" has his convictions still more firmly clinched that the materialistic conception of history is on a; foundation that is well and truly laid. . Charles Ed. Russell, whose article is the first of the series, states that although the sum total of wealth has attained fabulous proportions that the tendency has been and still' continues to be towards a closer restriction, "hence in point of■ relationship eachdecade sees the percentage of wealth .holders in direct disproportion num- crically to the amounts in bulk of each class, i. e. The percentage of increase of rich people is in striking disparity to the percentage of Increase bf poor people. One important fact Mr. Russell calls attention to is —thatr_trls'not*aione~ln~the_Ujiited'States,'th"e"rc"OniiiIaiiit~is' made but throughout the entire world, consequently the ■ inference is that the cause also is world-wide. The reason for the changes according to his opinion aro two. ' 1: The single monetary standard; gold. ,2: Thc excessive inflation of railroad stocks. , Total capitalization ln„United States is over.. 18 billion dollars, an Increase of six billions in the last seven years. Nine billons ($0,000,000,000 aro fictitious,) Tables showing gold output and prico variations, also railroad capitalization and profits are furnished, whicli to the compiler of statistics are exceedingly interesting,, ,*,. The next contributor is Frank Greene, managing, editor of Brndstrcet's Journal. The dominant tone noticeable is negativity, but ascribes as n reason the universally improved standards of living. This Is only partially truo and not applicable to. the great mass who are included In tho categories "poor" and "vory poor." In 1 SOO tho'TJ. S, contained l2.ri00-.000 families, 1 per cont of which had nn average wealth of $204,000 each;,!) per cent an average of $IG,000*cnch; 45 p<*r cent, an avf-rngo. of iflfiOO oiicli; lii per conl an avorngo ot $150 each.

James J. Hill, the Great Northern professor of Agronomics,, elaborates at some length on the necessity for putting a stop to waste. There are numerous others whose deductions are decidedly interesting, y '.''*- v • John Mitchell, the ex-President of the U. M. W. of A., defends the position, of the labor organizations from the blame which some try to throw upon them as being the principal factors in the creation of the increase) and avers that "the proportion of our population engaged in the production of wealth grows' steadily, less, while the proportion of our population engaged in the distribution and consumption of wealth grows steadily greater." John Spargo, the well known Socialist author of several interesting works, "The Ditter Cry of the Children," "Capital and Labor," etc.,,commences,his article by allusion to "the' secondary exploitation of the producers." This may be a phrase which affords excellent material for '.'academicism" but for an illustration of its soundness consider the story told of a German surgeon as a corollary. An officer was found with 5 bullet wounds in him and after the examination the medical Solon in making out his report stated "one bullet had passed through the aorta, another had severed the carotid, but the other three were not necessarily fatal." >In other words if it i i ' were not for primary exploitation, there could be,no "sec- ontiary," and it is unfortunate that those who, are considered teachers should wander off into the direction of confusion. Accepting the theory as sound that labor's application' to natural resources produces all exchange values,,hence to the producer it naturally belongs, why waste mental ,'energy clouding the issue by discussing "secondary exploitation?" * ' If'the baker (ptherwise the producing class) are entitled to the entire bakery, viz.; the full value of their product, how can there be any surplus value to be expropriated, and-if there be*no expropriation does it not dispose' of all exploitations, primary, secondary or tertiary? There is another explanation that may be brought, forward, and that is through the utilization of improved machinery both-productively and distributive^ whereby' the productivity of the* unit is immeasurably increased, the-concomitant result .necessarily ensues of an ever increasing widening between the money wages paid to the producer and the money value of his production, and while nominally wages may be increased, still in order-to be' on an even basis with the enhanced cost of living, as per the table of Prof. J. Pease Norton, the percentage should be practically 40 per cent to all workers. -, ,., '.This would not bring,the solution one jot nearer, and permanent" remedy cannot be effected .until, society is operated on a different system to what obtains at present. fRemediar_.e'asures,may be adopted from time to time, but like the bath ofl^lTirilsTliei^iFal\\^ys~a~vul" nerablespot just so long as any, remnant of capitalism exists. . . .... - KRESTON KANT KOME The following letter is self-sxplan- atory: O.

Coal Creek and "Michel: The first half of the game was pretty evenly contested, but still at the Interval the score ' was three' to one in favor of Michel. Shortly after the second half had started Clare, the Coal Creek goal keeper, got in a collision with a Michel player and had to be taken off. This put the game to the woods as, one of the'other players had to take up his place, and all the chances the Creek had of catching up were gone. The game ended 4 to 1 for,Michel. John Caufield can be* complimented on his fairness as a referee. . MICHEL , The excursion, from. Michel to Coal Creek on the, Great Northern-on Saturday under tlie auspices of the Michel football club was well patronized. The Michel "--'boosters turned out to a goodly number. But the men with the strong lungs and the big yell were not1 necessary for ,a victory, as tlie boys had,an_easy win, for at no time in the game was there any chance of a loss.

BELLEVUE Secretary Livett of the Crows Nest League stopped Mr. Kaye of Hosmer, who was to act as referee, from coming. Late on Friday night however they decided to come and under the circumstances Secretary Livett had to appoint Mr. D. Stene of Frank to officiate. This did not appear to give satisfaction to a portion of the players, and.there was some talk of protesting against the referee, for what reason' it is not known. , The game had hardly been ln progress two minutes when Varley scored for Bellevue. However before half time Coleman equalized. Varley scored two more In the second half, thus making the three goals scored against Coleman. The latter team also scored another goal and thought they had another. There was an awful fuss made about the referee giving a penalty to Bellevue, the referee being one in a hundred to stand for the actions of some of'the Coleman players. Without going into the merits or demerits of the incident* it was uncalled for, and the Coleman players knew perfectly well that if they were not fairly treated they could lodge a protest.. The result of the game which ended in ,a snowstorm was Bellevue 3 and Cole- Xj man 2. The best team won.' -We entertain Frank" team at home on the 21st of May. .

This illustrates the necessity of having some kind of conveyance to place the injured on inside of the mine.

Before commencing work on any boiler to be built under these regulations three drawings of the samo, with' specification form in duplicate, must be submitted to the department. for approval of the pressure and .arrangement of the boilers, which must actually comply in all cases with these regulations and the Act. This applies also to the designs for- safety valves'and other fittings. Approval or corrections will promptly he given or pointed out in thc order as applications are received by the Department and the manufacturers advised accordingly. Each drawing must have on it a complete list of parts of boiler.* with , identification numbers on lt and the details shown,, the material and sizes being given on specifications. To prevent delay ;any manufacturer must submit for approval designs of manu- , facturo which, when, finally approved, will be given registration numbers for the province and from .which boilers may be made by that manufacturer in any number, full reference being, made to the registration when sworn construction certificates are sent to tho Department concerning such boilers; and further provided that no changes in these regulations shall affect such design until after twelve months' notice has heen given to the manufacturers of such change, but'any new designs submitted, for approval after notice of change in regulations has been .given must be in accordance with such change. Three' drawings or blue prints of each design submitted must accompany an application for,approval, each haying' a blank or white space on it „ four by five inches in size; one of these drawings or prints will be returned to the manufacturer. Changes in design necessitate submission ' of same for approval and fresh registration. ■ . • ■ On application to the Department, manufacturers may be given or" allotted a series of identification numbers . for construction of their standard ap- —proved~boilers.. —. practicable as above, it must be indicated by specification. ~ On vertical boilers on right side of fire doors.* For boilers where location is not practicable as above,-it must be indicated by specification. Design Cylindrical portions of boilers such as shells or barrels, domes, drums or reservoirs, shall be made as nearly as possible truly cylindrical. All surfaces formed to a true circular curve except surfaces otherwise provided for shall be calculated in a similar manner to cylindrical shells, but when they or other parts are not made or are parts of true cylinders, of different radii, they must be treated as flat surfaces and stayed accordingly and in any case at the" change of curvature. Thickness of Plates The minimum thickness of any plate used iri the construction, of a boiler under these regulations shall be »4 of an inch, and in all cases the thickness of boiler heads having ' a diameter up to 40 inches shall be not iess than u-16 inches; diameters from ■10 inches to r'52 inches not .less than % inches; diameters from 52 inches 10 CO inches not less than 7-1*3, and not less than 1-16 additional thickness for every 6 inches additional diameter for boilers above 60 inches diameter. The thickness of all plates in shells or drums shall be alike and that required for the working pressure of any part according to formula hereafter given, but must not be less than one- quarter inch. The minimum thickness of plates in stayed surface construction shall be five-sixteenth of an inch. Seventy-two'inches shall be the maximum diameter for all externally fired boilers. » ' Reinforcing Plates t Por standard water pipe ono ii*.ch' in diameter, and for standard steam pipes one and one-quarter inches to two inches in diameter the opening shall b_e_reinforced with aplate securely (These regulations are not in force in any province, and will not be until issued by the proper officials of such provinces as decide to adopt them.

BELLEVUE (Continued from page 5) ill ■Levitt at Bellevue regarding the making of this particular fly. v He proposes to name it the Nil Desperaii- dum. Petitions for wholesale and retail licenses are as numerous as leaves in the autumn. Some months ago Mr. McDonald of the.Union hotel, Frank, presented a.petition to the inhabitants of Bellevue and district in regard to obtaining a retail* license at the Southern hotel. It was,signed by a large number of people. ' It is reported now, that the' license ;- commissioners turned it down. Next i ii i i a Mr. Monaghai: from Fernie presented the petition which was extensively "Signed. About the same time as the' last named was getting busy a Mr. Martin, barrister of Frank, presented a petition against having another retail license in town. This lawyer liad the assistance . of the West Canada Collieries company. Their arguments were to, the effect that they .did not think it was necessary to have another license in town as there was enough drunkenness already, or enough facilities at any rate for gettiiig drunk. Your correspondent is not from Mis ' souri, but *he would like to be shown how an additional license would increase the evil of drinking. The suspicion is as strong as the smell of ' Scotch whiskey that their opposition was not based upon moral grounds but from a purely economic standpoint. And that accounts for the milk in the cocoanut. V Last week still another petition, this time for1 a wholesale license, was pre sented by Mr, James Serra, a bartender, formerly of Frank and Coleman. A day or so after the 'above was signed a sight worthy of the gods was witnessed. Mr. James Callan had charge of a petition in favor of* a wholesale license, same to be owned by Mr. C. Faure, of Lille, and strange to relate it was-gladly signed by the officials of the West Canadian Collieries Co. , Morality is evidently elastic. Mr..B, J, Beach who has' been running a grocery store in - partnership with1 Mr. J. Raynor, has retired from the business,, leaving Mr. "Raynor sole owner. Mr. Beach intends going to the Old Country. Mr. Jack Walters who runs the men's' furnishing store in the McCutcheon block, is building a residence on the Lille road. Mr. Steve Rosia, formerly bartender at the Bellevue hotel has,been award* ed the contract to, drive a rock .tun- nell=at=Belle-vue=mlne. It-_s=exnect*- ed that this tunnel, which by the way is to be 600'feet long; will expose quite . a few new seams of coal. The output at the mine is steadily increasing. . 1100 tons was dumped In one shift last week, making over 2000 tons for the day. An accident occurred in the power house on Monday when somo pnrt of the compressor got broke; no one was hurt, Tho compnny arc seriously handicapped by not having a lathe at the, plant. This reacts upon tho workmen also, as whon there is a stoppage of this kind the chutes become full - In a short time. Twoo new air motorB aro expected shortly. It. Is high timo that a fnn should be Installed at tho new mine. Tho mon aro complaining a grout deal of smoke nuisance Tho company have complotcd tho building of a' trough to carry the wa- '■'tor from No. 2 mlno, It will run toward Lillo for ti distanco, then empty into ono of tho coulcou. This.job haB not been done a minute too soon iir tlie mine water used to run ovor the fallB nnd consequently hnd to bo used na drinking water, the Intake of tho waterworks system being undor the falls.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : J. W. Bennet |
Date Issued | 1910-05-21 |
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. |
