They have1 opened in tho How Foon block. L. P. Eckstein lost $180. At the last moment he saved his sign, und the next dny was doing business as usual, having secured an oflice in the Quail block. The Union restaurant and P. Burns _ Co. escaped with scarcely a smudge. During the fire one or two remarked that this city required a better water- system. The postolliee block was damaged to the extent of SI,000. Tlie contents of the office were not disturbed. A. W. Bleasdell was at Hosmer the night of the fire, and saw the reflection of it upon the mountains. He made efforts to get a handcar to get him to Uie city but failed, aDd had to wait for the express. W. J. Blundell was in Winnipeg at the time, aud missed the fireworks at home. During the racket "somebody stole a bunch of fireworks from Bean and Morrison. Mr. Boyntonof the Elk Lumber Co aiid all he could to assist the city. Steam was got up at tbe mill, and the hose laid to the bridge. Mr. Boynton states that at any time the city can | have the same service. By buying" 1,000 feet of hose to connect with the mill hose the citv caq immediately have excellent fire protection independent of the waterworks that have always been an aggravation in tbi_ badlv governed community. In Fernie the coal company owns the telephono system, the electric lis*_t system, the water system and a few others, besides all the coal mincB in | that locality. The city wishes to put in a first class wuter system and a sower systein, but tho Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. does not wish to see the water system installed, as it would put its own little waterworks ont of business. At this distance it would^eem to be a good thing for Fernie if some one else than the coal company owned at least a fe.w of the public utilities in tbat -enterprising town.—Phoenix Pioneer, Editor Lowery, of tho Fernie Ledoe, has "been pouring hot shot into the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company. Thc language used is particularly scathing. A few more outbreaks of this character should stir things up, and if words are of any nse in putting sand into tho Fernie business men, Editor Lowery will tamp it into them It invariably happens .that the more of a cinch a monopoly bas, the more thev want. Monopoly haa a tendency to intoxicate with power the holders thereof. The cinch should be broken.—Sandon Mining Standard. A few more fires, and the people of Fernie will be forced to admit that .they made a .mistake in electing as merefbo.-s of their city council men who are sub- verient to the Crows Nest Pass Coal Co. There can be no question as to the status of Mayor Stork and a majority of the council. They are partisans of the coal company,and favor that company's interests when they iu any way conflict with the interests of the people of Fernie. Fernie needs in office men who will stand for the interests of the the people first. Wero ruch men in office to-day Fernie would be-building, her own waterworks system. Tbe Tribune does not advocate confiscation of private interests. The private owners of the existing waterworks systein rshould be dealt with fairly. They should'be offered a fair price for their property, and a fair price is not what it could be duplicated for, but what the property earns as a business proposition. If tbe existing -water wor'k3 system is worth §20,000 as a business proposition, the people of Fernie can well afford to pay that price. If worth more, pay it.

The Mayor and Council were full of gush, hysterics and perhaps a little cheap whiskey last Thursday when they established a dangerous precedent by giving one man a gold medal, when so many were equally deserving, and voting money to pay the firemen. In the future dozens of men wiilnot work at Fernie tires. The gush and enthusiasm of these akk-rin-inic .resolutions is merely to curry favor with a public already cursing them witb tlie fervor of a Caliban. It is a cheap way for our local inisleg- islators lo throw a sop to an outraged nnd long-iutiering people. In some towns such a misfit-and subservient crowd, after -surh.a 6re ys we ha J last week would thank their stars to be alive. Medals arc usually given men for saving life. When property is saved those directly benefitted are entitled to do the rewarding and ua_: the general public. All firemen should be paid a stated amount and indemnified for damage to clothes. No"* one begrudges Lov'khart bis gold medal, but the concentration of all the glory upon one man when so many staunch comrades are entitled to a dip at the honey shows a lack of wisdom upon the pari dministrators of local af- tcd and is now nnder the capable i_2Miage-ient of A.

MOYIE From the Leader The case of the erown vs Joseph Niederstadt were tried vesterd.iy morning before Justices of Peace Ii A. Hill and K. D. Trevor. Mr. Niederstadt was chnrgrd with selling beer at his brewery to two Ix-ys under IS years of age. The boys testified that they were under 18, and .that they had _botis.it anil naid for the beer on the date mentioned. Mr. Niederstadt said that he was busy at the time serving others and did not pay any particular notice to thc bo\ s, bnt as soon as he learned they was nnder age he ■warned them not to come again. The justices alter weighing the evidence said that they would deal leniently with him and let him off with thc costs of the case, but cautioned him against any further infraction of the law.

(New Westminster Columbian) lhe Victoria Times is to be,given the opportunity of making good its shameful allegations against Premier McBride. or confessing to the character it has held for a long time, of the champion slanderer of the province. Notoriously, the allegations in the article upon which tho Premier has based his suit, are untrae. His government was conceived in treachery, remarks tho Times, meaning thereby no doubt that John" Oliver expected to be a member of the new adrhinis- tmtion, but was disappointed. Yet only a few weeks or months before the same John had participated in a Liberal party convention declaring for party government and ^solemnly pledging everv member present to abide by this decision. The Con&er- tives also had adopted party lines. There might have been cieuse for avoiding the party decrees under the circumstances;; but no leader, who chose to abide by the decisions so arrived at can be accusscd of treachvj ery because he disappointed the per sonal amlit'oh oi men not of his own party whom circumstances had made his mates in overthrowing the previous composite government. As to the Fernie ballot box, the other count in tne Times indictment, the record .makes itquite plain that the fault lay with the law, and not with the government—the law, that the government, overthrown by Mr. McBride had passed. The -present adminiolratign has had enacted an amendment making a situation like that developed in Fernie impossible for the future. That there was" .anything wrong in Fernie, however,^ was never demonstrated,; only charged, as brazenly bb the Times made its An Odd Prescription Dr. William Osier, In one of liis Baltimore lectures, recited a quaint old cure for the gout—a cure, from a seventeenth century medical work, that was designed to show, gout's hopelessness.

BETTING Looks Good to Kobe Winnipeg, Man.-r-A tone of confidence prevades the latest crop report issued by the Canadian Pacific railway today. The summary deals with '.Ingrowth of wheat and the weather conditions at all the principal points in the Canadian wheat belt traversed by the road. In tew instances are there indications of serious damage from any source. During the past Week, however, the very hot weather has caused severe electrical storms, wliich iu sonic localities were accompanied by hail. Thc damage from this cause is nol very heavy, as none of the storms covered a w ide area. Wheat is heading out all over the west and in some districts has attained a height of three and a half feet. In a few sections complaints are made lhat the growth is too rank from excessive moisture and heat, so thai thc grain had lodged. Fanners say, however, that it will come up again. Hay is most abundant, in fact it will be tiie heaviest crop ever taken from the prairie meadows. In several districts of Manitoba the prediction is made that the wheal yield cannot be less than twenty-five bushels to the acre, which with the area under crop ibis season would ensure a total yield a.'. 80,000,000 bushels. Uetween 30,000 and 40,000 men from theoulside will be re._uircd as laborers to lake off thc crop, wliich will commence lo mature within two week1.. ll i* stated lhat the crop is ten days ahead of thc period when early fro-sts are lo lac expected.

Title | The Ledge |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : R. T. Lowery |
Date Issued | 1905-08-02 |
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. |
