The Toronto papers have lately made a great outcry abuut religious frced-uiu in that city, but the statements are largely, one sided. Thc minority in religious ideas and ceremonies have little freedom' iu that city of church spires. We have seen men shot and stoned in that city for going to church in their own way. The majority rules in Toronto just thc same as in nearly all other places, Oil! you may take the wings of the morning, And flop round the earth till you're dead, s But you can't get away from the tuna that they play To that blooming old flag overhead. So you may plant your ads In the paper, And wait lor the heavens to fall, But you can't get away lrom the papers that pay And The Ledge beats the best of them ail. Taking the cue from Salmoit would appear that the me-n with tho queue are gradually getting their saw and axe into the country, ar.d even the .Swed'.sure pretesting as wc judge by the following letter which we have received from Kaslo.

The -Swedes are among the best class of people who come to this country, and we dislike ('fheariugth.it they are compelled to stand around in idleness while ihe yellow loys saw the wood, for one good, big Swede is of more real spending value to a community than half a dozen of the week and lowly followers ol the rat and rice "ods. But the fault cannot be laid at the doors ot Spears or the "Chineynian.'' It is with the people who de niand that the cheapest bidder shall get their business, and seemingly forgot that thc pursuit of ud-j policy must eventually act <'isa boomerang. It we care not for our fellow men ihcy will eventually play back and push us against ihe cinch. When selfishness is dead wc will hear no more about the troubles that Andy complains of, but the greed for money will always make buyers see no-difference between a Swede and a Chink when it comes to .apparently saving a few cents. The surest way to right all troubles is to. follow thc Golden Hule laid down by the great Chinaman, Confucius, many ccntuiie3 ago. Do to others as you would be pleased to have them do to you, and the Sunlight from Paradise vvill break through the clouds that bang like, a leaden curtain between our lives of grcpd, and the condition where all is| peace and happiness.

Mr. Macdonald has no patience wilh reckless motoring,. He believes that, with ordinary care and caution, acci. dents might be altogether eliminated.

A farmer used to gather the oil in barrels from the surfar.it seepage*, and sell it to his ueighbur* for lighting and lubricating purposes. In iooi a ueailhy lumha-rnuui at Ototokos Alberta, went up lhe valluy and investigated lhe stories he had heard of the oil find, and die indications being so strong he concluded ta get an expert from IViiiiaivliannia oil fields to make a report. A company was then organ- t-ed, and in 1902 operations were quietly bargun. At a depth of 1,0*0 feet oil u'a* struck lhat .lowed 300 barrels a "dnyA The hole was plugged, and then the company -secured practically all the land within the too mile area. Then the cotnpany became oil crazy, but not till the richest part of lhe territory was jtaked out. During the past few weeks * number ot* wells have been bored and the oil Hows out even faster lhair it can bat taken care of. This oil can be refined- wilhoutthc use-of sulphuric acid making a saving of about from 40 to 50 cents a barrel. Tits Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern railways are building branches tn Oil Cily, a new town lhat das sprung into existence within the past few months.

If you cannot gel the candles burn brimwtone or sulphur by throwing it on red coal-, inian iron keltic placed in the middle ofthe room and slu.l ihe door-, and windows carefully.

Pear Ik in Coconnutsi Pearls are nol only found in oysters. .Sometimes, said a lapidary, they are found in cocoanuts. 1 once cut a cocoa nut pearl. It was the size of a pea, and ils quality was good. It resembled very niucli'an oyster pearl, only it was a little duller. Cocoanut pearls are found in the heart of the nut. Il is thought that they are formed by the hardening of the nut's flesh. They are, so to speak a kiud of ci ytitallized tumor or wart. These pearls are rare. They are rarer than oyster pearls. They are alia- cheaper than oyster pearls, being less hard and less iraiislueent. KOOTENAY ENGINEERING WORKS FouiNDErs 4 Machinists, ;. —— Nelson, b.c—■ Mill and Mining Machinery.

Title | The Ledge |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : R. T. Lowery |
Date Issued | 1905-05-10 |
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. |
