An arnistice probably will be arranged at once. The news'that peace had been agreed upon caused the most. intense excit- ment at the hotel where the convoys hnve.heen'sutiohecl.'

Recent events strengthen them' in the opinion that there is very little likelihood of serious 'trouble between employers and employees in the great coal and coke, industry which contributes so largely to the welfare of this part of the province. Building is going on just, as if no strike had been declared. While the miners were thronging the streets during the few davs they we're off duty,1" the' owners of the lots from which the buildings had so lately been swept by the relentless nre fiend were redoubling their efforts to replace them, with much belter and larger structures. The sound of the hammer , and the clink of the trowel never ceased. The only possible,check of the progress of building operations was the inability of the city government to keep out of the way of the-ae enterprising builders with Instead their grade regulations. Instead, of sitting down and waiting for the city to Ull him how high .or how low he should4'place his-,floors,,inv-.his new .building.^Mr." ".Henderson" established his-'owri grade and went orTwilh his work; We haven't arty doubt but that 'he .city will come along some of these lays and-establish their, grade in conformity with that adopted by Mr. Henderson. The days of doubt ns to the future of. Fernie have past.' The probability of serious difficulty arising between the Coal Co. and their men grows less every day, And when wc have a cily council sufficiently wiso to obey the advice of the city instead of that of people who are trying to fasten upon us a monopoly of the water supply at figures that would compel us to pay into the pockets of noil resident people $75,000 to 8100,000 In profits during thc next ten years, we shall have laid the foundation of the most- prosperous city in eastern British Columbia.

Outburst, Spokane; -' * It is generally understood that the Grand Jurv has been partially occupied'during the week in an-investi- gatlon of the charges ot persecution and protection meted oat to immoral women on Front street by the police department. 'The matter should lie sifted to the bottom; it is one ot the foulest biota upon our civic life. The Odthurstdoes not believe that any city which levies tribute upon th.e degrading arid disgusting human 1 traffic, can lay claim tothe condition I of higher civilization, whether such tribute be collected officially .in the name ofthe ctty, by human . ghouls in its, employ' who blackmail the hunted creatures by virtue of their paltry official positions, or by private citizens whousc the cloak ot moral crusaders in their attempts to extort illegal gain.': " • '* In this connection it will be remembered . that an agitation was started las'; summer with the osten-. slblo object-'of driving immortil women 'from Front3 street. Tiie agitation was Btarted by A. A. Rratt, of tho Kraft Harness Company, and, as a result, Mayor Boyd served notice that ail houses of prostitution in the neighborhood should be closed within sixty days.-About the time this period expired, owners of property used for immoral purposes and the prostitutes themselves were notified that the agitation.would be stopped upon payment of SflOOO to Mr. Kraft and $300 to a very prominent law firm which had acted as Kraft's legal adviser. - The property ho'dere got together as a result of the intimation, and the money was subscribed jointly by them and the immoral women most interested. Tlie negotiations were conducted by Archie Ash. on behalf oi the property holders arid prostitutes and by tlte aforesaid law firm on behalf of Kraft. - In order to cover up the transaction and avoid future disclosures, it was decidetl-that Ash should take an 6p; tion on a block of the capital stock of the A. A. Kraft Co. at par/puvjng down the Bum ot $1000, the balance being payable at a future date. This arrangement was carried out, and it isneedless to say that Ash did not exercise hiVoption.

In making these assertions, the Outburst realizes that, it is. making serious charges; but.it wlll 'substantiate every..statement it has made when the occasion arises. It believes that such a transaction is one that should bo sifted to the bottom by the Grand "Jury.

FERNIE,, B.C. AUGUST 30, 1905 '4tf 7 ■ V SCALED THE CROW. Frank Paper. p ' . • Crows Nest mountain, the" f,*imous ""peak of th's southern country, was. •- successfully scaled on Sunday last by tour daring young men,'they, having • the honor of baing-'the- first party of amateurs to liave ever'accomplished the dangerous feat Only' once be- -'tore'-has'the* ascent'-been .made "arid - then-by,'two professional Swiss guides " who'reached the summit two years -ago., They were'employed by tlie ' noted VV. Wliymper; and forestalled -' their employer in ascendiiiff tbe far- famed mountain/ prher.riw'uhtaijis may be . hla her but few there are that have "such dangerous surround it-igs, arid hitherto all,.attempts to .ficale'the hill by amateurs have been unsuccessful. The party making the ascent last > Sunday was comprised of K.- Wliim- " ater, Frank-*\P, D. McTavish, Calgary; D. G. Himower, Lethbridge; and D.L. Stauffuv.Coleman; , They .' had been preparing for the trip for some time and went fully equipped „ having axes, topes, provisions; water bottles, camera, etc., along with them. .' , A start was made from Coleman at 3 a. m. - Sunday,0 "the men taking horses from there to an pid logging camp of the McLaren' Co.,1 about Ave miles north of Pawls' ranch, close up ■to the foot of the mountain. This wiis 1 the/route traveled by the Wliymper party two' years ago. There' the horses were lelt and the men followed ..the .Whymper^ blaze, through the 1 'bush till it was lost, when they struck outfor themselves, traveling tour, or five miles before the edge of the timber line was reach-id'7 This was ,accomplished and the base of the maiu hill reached, at its:-southwest corner ' at 8.30 o'clock.' The real climbing then commenced tlie party gradually working around "/•ou.the shale slides to the •■ northwest ' "corner ot the hill. There they "struck . a narrow ravine or crevice running .,up the'mountain -for- some' distance and in it"was a glacier. An attempt was made to ascend .the, precipitous wall, but alter going up 200 ieet the „ men found .their progress. blocked and they - were forced to' descend. -Going about halt way up the crevice they again attempted the precipice op the north side and after, a hard struggle succeeded. For 500 feet it was almost straight up, footholds being had on narrow,ledges and knobs of rock. . Mr. Whimster was in the. lead-and the others followed as"closely as possible, ropes being -'used several,times. "Onceor twice members of the party became faint and had to be field up hy the; ropes, for a-slip would have meant a horrible death. - ■ '" "■ Alter scaling the precipice, which was the most perilous part of the whole climb, a series bf shiile slides 'and short cliffs. were met. with for several hundred feet. \.- Thenco;'the. men worked northwards "along the^ incline finally hitting the base of tlie con*, on tho.north slope.- Then for half a mile it was a stiff and dangerous climb until - the summit was reached at 12.15 o'clock.a There the party found a : stone cairn built bv the Swiss guides two, years ago, an empty Dewar whiskey bottle, and a red flag. The climbers erected another cairn close bj and carved their names on top. They also wrote their names on a paper and left the slip in the bottle/ Besides this they, stretched a cord between the two cairns and tied to ic a ,white handkerchief, which may still be seen floating on the summit. _ As a memento-of their trip the men brought down the Swis9 fliig and a number.of photos they hud talien of the marvellous views to be hadjup there. '*, They state the .panorama from the top ot the Crow is one of surpassing beauty, everything being disccrniible for miles'in all directions. The descent. commenced at 2.15 p in. and was negotiated in safety, McLaren's camp being, reached ,at 6.30 and Coleman at'. 8 30.;':. The Crow's N^est'-is 9,800 feet liigh arid the sides aro a succession of steep precipices and shale slides, cohstituting- a/dahgorous' and difficult piece of work,to scale.' The weather for the trip was perfect 'and, the atmosphere clear, with a cold breeze on the summit. , The ascent and descent were' made without accident of any kind, tlie men being careful, to blaze their route wherever possible. They feel highly elated' at their success and state their reward has been ample. The honor ot being the first amateurs tb make the ascejit was great, while the- views obtained are.interesting and valuable. S- , Other parties have been stirred up since to make the ascent and it is quite probable that the attempt will be made while the weather is good. Twelfth Annual Spokane Inter- " state Fair.

Another novelty which will be a real attraction has been added to those already promised for the Spok-" ane Interstate Fair,, which' is held this year from CctobVr 9 to 15.

There is always power in the' creation ofjiis fancy:- He is1 always' polished, witty and learned. .Since the-days of Scott*, were.ended, there '\», in our opinion, no pinnacle so high as that on jws^^pjnipn^entertained^Qf7« ••» "»• °u 1- „"Tli'yUdyyof Lyon;?

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and G. G. Meikle |
Date Issued | 1905-08-30 |
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. |
