Jlecredy barrister of Cranbrook, has been retained as counsel on behalf of Martin Bobrovski and Stefan Janasten, who are applying for release on'grounds of illegal detention and arrest without jurisdiction and without due process of law. They assert that they have not committed any contravention of any law, nor failed to comply with any regulations issued. This case will come up before the pre- siding Supreme Court Judge in chambers in Vancouver on Monday next, June 21st, or as soon thereafter aB practicable. Services has already been made upon Chief Constable 6. Welsby, and it will also be made, upon Attorney- General Bowser and Colin Campbell. > -v There are now approximately 300 Austrian and German subjects occupants of the Mammoth Skating Rink, of these over. 100 are from Fernie, 90 from Michel, 67 from Natal, 28 from Coal Creek, 4 from Cranbrook and a ffcw others from different camps. It is expected that additions will -be coming in from day to day from other points, and that the 400 mark will be reached before all are rounded up. Among these Interns there are many who have, resided in the district since the first steel rails were laid through the Pass, and some of the younger men attended the Fornie schools as young as the school age permitted.. In some .instances indifference or thoughtlessness is the explanation for not taking out their naturalization papers, whereas there are a few others not yet eleglble to make application, Thirteen guards on each eight hour . shift aro employed to see that none ^egfnpA. art A alBft-p-Vflmdnailniwls-mada. HELPING THE MAN IN THp TRENCH Tjie following donations were received this week: Mrs. Barber—2 jair socks. Mrs. Lambkins—5 n 3,500 lined up in a circle around the interior of the building,' passing in order before the tables where the food is handed to them, this is done in an expeditious and orderly manner, the men then sil around.in groups and enjoy the pleasures of the table (?) in tailor fashion. Details of men are kept busy attending to the cleaning, up of the quarters and every bit of rubbish, both inside and outside, does not lie around more than a few minutes before it is gathered up and deposited in the swiftly flowing Elk River. Screened latrines have been erected and a plentiful .supply of chloride of lime is scattered around ia order to keep the camp perfectly sanitatlve. The culinary department consists of a regular army field arrangement, consisting of a hollow pit with "parallel rails serving for a seat for the transverse pieces of iron upon-which rest a number of cauldrons containing the food stuffs undergoing the necessary changes to make them edible and tasteful. Of course, those who have friends and relatives in Fernie add to the bill of fare quite often by other foods-to which they have been more accustomed than those provided by the authorities. Considering the large number of pair socks Mrs. Tully—5 pair socks. Mrs. J. Rogers, Spokane - mouthwipes. Miss. McDonald's school children— 100 handkerchiefs. Mrs. N. Whitehouse—4 pair socks. Mrs. T. Cupliffe—2 pair socks. Sirs. \V. iMorrison—2 pair socks. Miss Paul—1 pair socks. Mrs. Ldes, sr.—1 pair socks. - Mrs. Ramsay—1 pair socks. Miss J. Andre—10 bandages. Mrs. J. J. aiartin—1 pair socks. CASUALTIES AMONG FERNIE'S CONTINGENTS THE CHICAGO STRIKE lowshlp prevails and a general air of philosophical contentment prevades. Games of cards are indulged in, bursts of song enliven the monotony, and as there are quite a number who are musical executants on both wind and brass instruments, the tones of the ac- cordeon, cornet, flute furnish excel- V of all packages that are brought in by- relatives and friends for the purpose of preventing the introduction of any forbidden articles. Each shift is supervised by a Provincial police officer, these include Gorman, Kerr and King, lall of whom are under tbe supervision of Chief G. Welsby. .All visitors must be furnished with a permit signed by the chief iu order to obtain access to the building, end may talk with their friends on the outside ot the enclosure. Books, papers and periodicals are allowed conditional upon the recipients not littering the floor with tbem aftor they bave finished reading them. Temperance advocates do not need to agitate a dry canteen as no liquors are allowed to be given. The local police authorities aro doing all tbey possibly can to meet tbe requirements of tlie situation. There Is adequate floor space and sufficient ventilation to prevent the air from becoming vitiated. 8o far as sleeping accommodation Is concerned the hard floor, even with blankets to lie on, is by no means so comfortable as would be the addition of an Ostermoor or even a spring mattress. The morning and evening meals are by no moans heavy, consisting ot bread, porrlge and tea, but the noonday meal is ample for an ordinary individual, consisting of half a pound of meat, potatoes, beans or onions or other vegetables, bread and soup. When meal time arWves the men are ient~media ror Tfirlvlng away dull care, Last Friday night ono over-excited man, who had just arrived from Cranbrook, F. Nychek, attempted to escape but had only proceeded a abort distance when he was captured and lodged in the lock-up. This is tbe only un. toward incident recorded since'the internment started, except perfiaps, if they may be so regarded, a few have had to receive medical treatment upon arrival, doubtless due to the anxiety regarding their incarceration. LATER • CHICAGO, June 16.—^The strike of 14.000 street car men was called off this morning. All points at issue will be settled by arbitration. Operation of cars on all lines was resumed.

Telegrams outlining the situation bave been sent to the Provincial authorities at Edmonton, and the Dominion authorities at Ottawa, but io far we bave no information touching the replies, .There are approximately 100 aliens in tbe camp, by far the preponderating majority of Austro-Hungarlan nationality.

Police officials were attempting to work out a scheme of regulation to control motor cars which have been running through the shopping district in tbe heart of tbe city. They may be made to keep the cars from downtown streets and provide stations just outside, where tbey can discharge and receive passengers. Federal Intervention Prospects of the United States government overseeing the operation of tbe Oak Park division of the elevated system were seen In nn order by O. C, Kohlsaat, judge "of the United States circuit court of appeals, directing Samuel Inaull, fecelver for thc Chicago and Oak Park elevated railroad, to resume operations at once, to report any "unlawful interference or obstructions by any persons whomsoever for such action as tbe court may deem proper." The Chicago and Oak Park Elevated Railroad company, operating about 10 miles ot road on tbe west side, went into United States district court some time ago and obtained tba appointment i of Samuel Insull as receiver at the instance of a suit brought sgalnst It by tbe Central Trust company of New York. Tbe receivership has not yet been discharged and the federal court baa charged through tbe receiver ot tha operation of tbo road and tbe employes of the road are thus employes of the court. Provision also was made in the order for fair treatment of the employes who havo gono on strike, In the directions that the receiver shall furnish to tbe court all Information as to tbe facts and circumstances in which the strike wee called. The order also empowers the management to operate tne trains by tbe best mesne obtainable. Consequently the receiver Is directed to resume operation without delay.

BENNETT, Editor-Manager Telephone No. 48 Post Office Box No. 380 On the 15th of August, 1914, a Royal 'Proclamation,'or as it is usually called, an Order-iu-Coiuieil, was issued bearing upon the duties of those of German and Austra-Hun'garian nationality and stating the penalties for disobedience. Below is an extract froni this important document: "'Now. know ye that by and with the advice of Our Privy Council for Canada, we do by these presents proclaim and direct as follows: '']. That all persons in Canada of German ov Au^ro-llungarian' nationality, so long as they quietly pursue their ordinary avocations , be allowed to continue to enjoy the protection of the law and be accorded the respect and consideration due to peaceful and lawabiding citizens; and that they be not arrested, detained or interfered with, unless there is reasonable ground, to"believe that they are engaged in es-. pionag-?. or engaging or attempting to engage in acts of a hostile nature, or are giving information to the enemy, or unless they otherwise contravene any" law,. order-in-council or proclamation." After these instructions had been given, we did through the column^ of this paper refer to this matter on several occasions and urged upon all those affected to obey the law in every particular. So carefully wore these instructions observed that an examination of the records of both the Provincial and city will plainly show that criminal acts were never before so few in the history of East Kootenay, as they liave been in the period sidise- _\ j.iLi-i^ i „_i:_:^_ -ZKiuliiuiiin-p™-iinir Council has been issued which supersedes the one date August 15th, 191. These men liave not broken any law. but are detained because thtt Attorney-General of the Province of British Columbia so ordered it. Por the benefit of our readers we will call a'tten- tiono to the British aet of Habeas Corpus, of 1679, passed during the reign of Charles, and which for centuries has been regarded as a precious safeguard of individual liberty against official tyranny. The procedure is by the issuance of a common law writ by a court or judge directing the production .of a person in public or private custody to inquire into the legality of his detention. This writ is usually granted as a matter of right, and is usually returnable forthwith- This is a plain presentation of facts and as such is worthy of the consideration of every citizen. We are not discussing whether the measures adopted were advisable or not, because we realize at this juncture the fervor of the public mind is such that dispassionate discussion and calm analysis upon any subject relative to the war is decidedly problematical. Nevertheless, Ave consider that a better understanding of the character of the Proclamation may enable some of our citizens to reach different conclusions regarding the internment of these men than they hold at present. are .strictly connected with the war. I &m sorry that I am not allowed to define these without harming the cause and operations. But I must express the opinion that for the success oi the war the government ought to give up their place to another cabinet. The responsibility forthe resignation of Count Berchtold rests with the Prime Minister and the time will come when he will have ip explain." THE MAIN IDEA TWO TYPES OF SELFISHNESS KEEP AN EYE ON MEXICO AND THE TJ. S. "TpilMli iu ihc-ijuuiireultroir W*uTr ei-iKTcte shape was demonstratel by the remarkable incident which took place at the last Supreme Court Session in Pernie when the Chief Justice was presented with a pair bf white gloves symbolizing a blank docket. The difference between the stains of those who went from Pernie to the Vernon and l.ethhridtrc detention camps nnd the men interned in the Skating Rink is that in the former i'iise they did not comply with the latter part of paragraph 1, that h they had contravened the law whilst in tlie latter instance (the Skating Rink interns) no charge0 whatsoever has been laid against them, therefore they eannot be legally included in the seme category ns tlie members of thc Vernon and Letlibridge detention en nips. We .mnko tliis plain statement of facts bo that our renders may bettor understand the legal aspect of this troublesome question. In addition to the instructions already quoted each mie of those interned wns called upon to sign the following undertaking: The terrible conflict in progress in Europe has for the time being overshadowed the intense struggle that has been going on for several years in Mexico. Although .the -numbers engaged is vastly disproportionate to the European fight there is, nevertheless, a principle at stake of vital import not only to the workers of Mexico but to the members of their /;lass in the republic to the north of thein. V. Carranza has not only promised to espouse the cause of the Avorking class in their demand for a decent, standard of living, but his actions so far have shown him as practising what he promises. The hypocrisy of the 1 J. S. authorities is plainly manifest by their threats to play the part of Lord Bountiful on behalf of the starving thousands in Mexico City when there are four hundred thousand in the City of New York, and in other cities a like percentage as compared to Gotham's population, who are in the direst, distress. . In Uncle Sam's Spanish speaking possession of Porto Rico many of the agricultural workers are so poverty stricken they live in -the trees and in the swamps of the sugar fields. The real reason for the agitation for intervention in Mexico is not the call of humanity but to protect By Oscar Ameringer To ridf the body politic of the-useless .parasite, and to relieve the working class of the bloodsuckers and exploiters, is the main aim of the Socialist movement. ° We have social production and cooperative labor in all our great industries. Without the brains and the muscles of tho workers, all the wheels would stop. The stockholder, bond- lioWer, the silent partner and the sleeping partner turnish the capital, but we have learned that his functions of providing the capital can be assumed very__readily by society. It takes equipment to run the post -.department, but it does not require the capitalist to take a rakeoff. . It takes equipment to run the school system, but no capitalist is needed,to make dividends out of our educational institutions. It takes equipment to build roads and bridges, .but we have dispensed with the capitalist who formerly- collected the toll. Many cities furnish water to their citizens, others supply them with gas, electric ity and transportation. A number of European municipalities operate banks, dairies, slaughter houses and a great many other industries. All we have to do Is to broaden and to extend the system of municipal and state ownership. But municipal and state ownership is j not Socialism.; State-owned railroads' John Morley, a prominent leader ot public opinion in Great Britain, has defined the difference in the selfishness of a capitalist and of a trades union as -follows: "There is all the difference in the world between the selfishness of a capitalist and the so- called selfishness of a great trade union. .The one means an increase of self-luxury for one man or a single family; the other means an increase of decency, increase of comfort, increase of self- respect, more ease for the aged, more schooling for the young, not of ohe family, but of a thousand or ten thousand families. Others may call that selfishness it- they please. I call it humanity and civilization, and the furtherance of the commonwealth.—Ex. SCATTERED SHOT By Oscar H. Atkinson A man in need is a slave Indeed. 'Farmers need to fertilize their brains with -Socialism. r Capitalism always provides a leaky- roof for those who save for a rainy day. Staying below the boss is what puts the dollars above the man. Most Judges will 'be tools, tools until Socialism rules. (Hypocrites said Abolition was aealnst the Church, but on the ruins of slave pens cathedrals were erected. Text for a capitalist sermon: "Blessed are fleece takers." Taft turned the unemployment problem over to God. Ti.e Professor !n the White House seams willing to 'et l,-, %o tc the devil. The following official announcement has been Issued by Mrs. Plumptre, secretary of the National Service Committee: "Bales for the Canadian War Con- and "state monopolies even today are 'tingent Association must not exceed used as a means to exploit the working people for the benefit of the capi tallst taxpayers. In order to give to the masses the full benefit of social ownership, it is necessary that the state itself'belong to the people. We therefore demand that the class state be transformed into a government of the people, by the people, and for the- people. This can easily! be accomplished through the extension of democracy. Socialism, then, ls the ownership of Uio trust by the government by the people, by means of universal suffrage, the Initiative, the referendum and the recall. STATE FARMER AND LANDLORD 56 pounds in weight and should only contain soft goods, such as -socks and shirts with contents marked plainly on the outside of the bale and protected bv water proof material. All other goods, as candles, soap, and tobacco, vermin powder, etc., must be packed in wooden cases not to exceed 56 lb. in weigjit. ^ box should only contain one ;class of article. "Cables received from England report that 91 bales containing mixed contributions, chiefly from WeBtern Canada have arrived with the contents mixed together and destroyed by wat-] er. All those who desire to ship soods for the men in the trenches are earnestly requested to carry out the above regulations; dutiable articles, such as tobacco, candles, soap, ate, must be packed in cases plainly marked on tho outside. By Clyde Wright This nation is today the owner of 695,401,259 acres of land—enough to —7-——- ■ , . •provide 100 acres for 0,000,000 farmers.' If any of our readers wish to obtain livery year the states acquire, in one information regarding the -plebian pota- way and another, additional acreage,, to a line to the Publications Branch, and if retained would eventually own I Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, all the land that the tenants of this asking for Pamphlet No. 2, will bring tlie huge concessions "so prodigally"^IsnimteJPby Porfirio Diaz and his gang. President Wilson has notified the warring factions they must respect the oil properties at Tux- pam. In oil wells alone there is 100,000,00 dollars '; American capital invested, and not 11 title of any kind do the operators hold for the property they exploit. The Constitutionalist Party has stated fairly and squarely that the land and its resources shall be restored to the Mexican people from whom it was stolen, and this regardless of whether the claimants are of Mexican or foreign birth. This explains why there is so much talk in the United States by the Wall Street coterie about the necessity Of putting an end to "anarchy " in Mexico. PRANK P.

Sunburn, blistering, and irritation -are the commonest form of summer skin troubles, and Zam-Buk ends these very quickly. It works in two ways. As soon as applied, its antiseptic powers get to work and kill all the poison in a wound, a sting or a sore. This generally ends the smarting and the pain. Then Zam-Buk begins the healing process, and fresh healthy tissue is built up. For sore, blistered feet, sore hands, heat rashes, baby's heat spots/sore places due to perspiration, etc., you can't equal Zam- Buk. It also cures cuts, ulcers, abscesses, piles, and all inflamed and diseased conditions of skin and subjacent tissue. Druggists and stores everywhere sell Zam-Buk, 60c. box.

A. special meeing of Local 431 was held on .Sunday for the dual purpose of 1 eaiing President Phillip's explanation of why a certain paragraph bad crept Into our agreement, and to hear the Relief Commiaee's report. After hearing President Phillip's explanation and realizing that the mischief was done, the Local sanely gave Pres. Phillips the necessary instructions to get the said paragraph deleted in its entirety. The .Relief Committee reported to the Local their utter Inability to apportion the relief as granted by the District in anything like a satisfactory mann-er, owing to the large number who were needing it, and recommended that the amount be held over until, we could at least double It, and suggested the following as a means to that end: That the "secretary1 write the Executive Board explaining our di- lemna in detail, and that we place an asseissnient on those who are working, rt-nA ,U*9 ~- - ' under the old agreement.

His right leg is cut off above the knee. He !■ also, I gather, partially paralyzed ln the other leg. He has a pleasant face—though care-worn—with frank blue eyes. He wear* an old sun-helmet—such ns Uio troops In South Africa wear. On his breast are several medals. A printed placard, attached to the front ot the street piano, Informs you that this man served in the Iloer War, and there lost bla right leg. As you look at bim, you think what a fine big chap he must have been In the days when he went to the wnr, and what a pity to see him thus limbless and disabled, and, worse •till, Iravlng to go round, In a stato of semi-beggary, with this musical Instrument to eke out his little penison, Md earn his livelihood. His wife ls humbly dressed; one wonders how often she gets a new hat or skirt—and the ««-«oldler'» troutcrs Ind coat are, though neat, shabby and threadbare.

FATTEN INb THE GOBBLER. .Many enquiring individuals have been wondering how the "lasy and indolent" Turks managed to have the Dardanelles so strongly fortified, and how the British came to have so intimate a knowledge of the fort locations. The following telegram, from Constantinople, in the London "Times" of December 3, 1913, may shed a ray of light: "A contract was algued today -a Itli the Aruutroug-Vlckera group for the reorganisation, of the Turkish naval dockyards. The government hands over to the Armstrong-Vickers group the antenal and docks on the Golden Horn, witb all the existing machinery and buildings, lt likewise provides for a alto for n naval baao at Ismld. The English group finds tbe capital for the exploitation of the works, and supplies the technical knowledge and control esaentlal to tbo success of the undertaking." 'After the British displaying thoir "technical kn.owt*d(te nud control" In reconstructing these fort* and naval bases for profits, they, with tbelr allies, are now displaying tome CORRESPONDENCE EXPLANATION To the Editor, District Ledger. Dear Slr.—Owlng to the many Inquiries from residents of Penile and District as to why the Fertile-Coal Creek Excelsior Band did not attend tbe 54th to the depot on their departure Priday last, 1 have been Instructed by the members to inform Tou that upon the last occasion when we turned out the .Bugle Bandmaster (Mr. Smith) told us we were "butting in," Also, a notice was posted up the day previous, both in Italian and English (why ln English, we do not know, unless It was to keep us from "butting! doubt POVERTY WEED In" again). The notice read! "All members of the "City Band" will meet at 9 o'clock at the Imperial Hotel for the jJiirjiose tit golug with the 5-1 th Regiment to tbo station," N'o name was signed to this document. These are the two reasons why the member* of tho -Fertile-Coal Creek Band did not turn out. Trusting this explanation is perfectly clear, I am, Sir, Yours sincerely, HY. HAIOH, Secretary.

Then I covered lt with long straw manure, and and on one of the hottest days ln July I burned the manure and ploughed the land Immediately fairly deep and left It to dry out before working down, and to May 1 no sign of Poverty Weed Is to be found, While we cannot aay definitely that the weed haa been totally destroyed, It Is without materially weakened,—R.

By Carl D. Thompsoq Socialists believe tliat the only solution of the trust question is the public ownership of tbe trusts. They believe that the attempt to solve the problem by regulation ls a failure and perhaps a 'fraud. The Socialist position on the subject ot regulation Is very well stated by Daniel *.W. Hoan, city attorney of Milwaukee, in bla booklet on "The Failure of Regulation." He aays: "Regulation of public service cor- poratlona waa experimented with for nearly half a century in European countries and abandoned In favor ot government ownership long beforo the reformers and progressives introduced this wonderful remedy into American politico. "In 1878 our nation started out to regulate railroads. We have had the Interstate commerce commission at work for thirty-five yeara, Finding lhat ntvtlonal regulation did not solve the problem, the atatea began appointing commissions to regulate the railroads and otber utilities. "And of all tho elate utility lawa for tbo regulation ot truata and corporations the Wlacontln loo It regarded aa the best Practically all the reformers Jtfre* that Wisconsin hat a flrat-clasa regulation law, It has aerv- ed «s « model for other atatea. "I take tbla, therefore-, as the best regulation can produce, nnd 1 venture the statement that no shrewder piece of political humbuggery and down* right frond hu ever beon placed upon tbe statute books than the Wisconsin Kabllc utility tew. It Is supposed to s legislation for tho people. In fact. It Is legislation for the" money oligarchy," He .then takes un and established tb« following propottt'oiu: i.

So much so that now wo are often able to atate the Socialist views of the situation In the words of those who are not known as Socialists. I present today some strong words from a'recent work by Algernon Crap- sey ln hia "Rise of the Working Class," pp. 309413. He says: "From the beginning ot civilisation down to tho present time It has been a fundamental principle that lt li the right and the duty of the strong man to make jthe weak man work for him. Civilisation bas been built up by tho exploitation of the weak by the strong. "Ancient society expressed this principle frankly and brutally In the lu- stltuHon of slavery, Serfdom, which om at. advance upon slavery, was ttvt economic system of the middle ages, "In modern times wo have a system of exploitation more perfect, more destructive, than even ancient slavery or medieval serfdom. The wage aye- torn which is In vogue at the present time does not even look upon a workman as t slave or a servant. It does not girt bim even so much of human Ity ts belonged*to those oppressed classes ot former times, He is treat* ed aa if ho wero Impersonal—without bodr, parts or passlona, Ho Is bought and sold in the market na so much labor commodity, Kt Is speeded up to exhaustion and scrapped without mercy. *He is given hut * small portion of tht products of his labor end is subjected to living conditions tbat deplete hit energies tnd arrest his natural development. "Tbls state of affairs can not endure Indefinitely, tt is already In process of destruction.

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. |
