LIFE IN FERNIE ♦*»* A" Walker's Comedians played lo a fair audience in Stork's Opera House Monday night. The new.brick hotel for Win. Tuttle of the. Royal will he finished and opened in about four weeks. The circulation of The Lrduk is still climbing at the rate of a hundred a week. The limit is a million. . The Conservative meeting called for Saturday evening was adjourned wilh- -out any business beinjr transacted. The west bound tfiijn has acquired the very unfortunate habit ol being from one to five hours late each day. Colonel Lowery is calling on his Slocan friends this' week. If they are n >t pleased to meet him, they will be relieved when- he gets through with theiri. Rev, John Robson, Ii.

Blackmore, The local K. of P. had a very successful niecling Friday evening of last week. Since the lire the order has been somewhat demoralized, only two meetings having been held since that time. Friday night il was decided to hold an open meeting on the evening of the 26th inst., to which all knights- in the district are invited. The hardwood flooring for the new Waldorf hotel arrived this week and is being laid. Work has been delayed on the building for some weeks owing to the Winnipeg firm not fulfilling its contract for the flooring, and finally the material had to be "purchased in Calgary. The building will be ready for occupation in a few weeks, Tlie new provincial 'residence in Fernie is about completed. It is a substantial structure. Some of ihe rooms arcmadc exceptionally strong, with "a view to keeping brawlers and loughs from breaking in and intruding on the retirement of the regular boarders. The regulations governing the conduct of patrons of the institution are somewhat strict, but where seclusion "is the main object of the' residents this will not detract from its popularity CITY COUNCIL REPUBLICAN VICTORY New York, Nov. 9.—Roosevelt swept., the country today. The indications nre lhat the Republican majority in the next house of representatives will be at least forty. The President has issued a message of thanks to the. people. In it he declares that under no circumstances will he be a candidate or accept another nomination. The result" was so plainly apparent that at .8:30 Judge Parker telegraphed from Esopus to President Roosevelt as follows: t "The people by their votes have emphatically approved your administration, and I congratulate you." _^ President Roosevelt replied: "I thank you for your congratulations." The latest returns from New York state and city shows that Roosevelt's plurality is about 26,500. The legislature is overwhelmingly Republican. The Republicans, so far as returns have been received, have 293 electoral votes, the Democrats 151, and 32 doubtful.

A recent marriage in this district showed the bride's name as Helmore. There are some pessimistic bachelors who would see something suggestive iu thai name connected with matrimony.

We were amused at one individual who was asked for his photograph for ihe Hearld's annual edition. He told us with considerable unclion that he could not think of permitting a picture of himself to appear in the newspaper, and within ten minutes he was in IVesl's studio arranging to have his photo taken. The newspaper man sees a jot_of funny things hMt^ worjdj__buI says nothing. To illustrate the danger of using the water from the surface wells in town for domestic purposes, it might be said that Ihe men digging the ditches for the water works found place where the stench wnssso trong that they had to gel out for relief. The formation of ihe ground oil this flat makes it possible for all sewerage to run "through Ihe gravel, and naturally all surface wells on the lliil are little belter than cess pools. The persons who use lhat water for domestic purposes are taking their lives in' their hands.

Xott-Mt The elections throughout the Dominion on Thursday last resulted iu a sweeping victory for the Liberal party. The Fernie Liberal association had engaged Stork's Opera Douse and put in a telegraph instrument, and before 12 o'clock nearly the complete returns liad been announced. The victory was so sweeping that the majority of the Liberals present, out of consideration for Ihe feelings of the Conservatives refrained from applause as the returns were announced. In announcing the returns from the City of Halifax, Mayor Stork expressed his regret at the defeat of Hon. R. L. Borden, and paid a high tribute lo the integrity ol the leader of the opposition. The mayor also feelingly referred to the election of Joe Seagram in North Waterloo, and stated that although few. in the audience were personally acquainted with Mr. Seagram, many were familiar with the brand of goods manufactured by him. The result of the election was not a surprise lo lihe well-posted politicians, but the returns from Nova Scotia, Manitoba aud the Territories took away the brealh of many of Ihe Tories present.

Eleven years ago we commenced to agitate for tbe building of a mint in Canada, and we notico in the recent news from Ottawa that work is to be commenced on it next month. A rain*; is a good investment for a.iy country. It always makes money when kept in operation. • A citizen told us t'ae other day that it would be 51,000 years before the coal was all dug out in Fernie. That being the caso we are satisfied that we have at last found a town where the payroll does not pinch every time the moon changes, or some director over in1 England switchesiiis brand of beer. The eleciric light is the poorest thing in Nelson. It looks like a firefly working half time, but the people have to pay for it just the same, even when they- have to light lamps to hunt for it in their homes. . Packing printing plants is not conducive to the production of editorial matter, and until we get our job at Nelson finished the readers of this journal wi'l not find the editorial page filled to repletion, A stranger In Fernie might easily think that he was in the inferno if he glanced at the coke ovens before he became posted on our great industry. We have left our bulldog in Nelson. There is nothing for him to do around the city ot black diamonds. Every honest elector in Canada will be pleased to know that the lion. John Costigan will not be compelled to change his party allegiance in the nejft five years. , ' La belle has again elected Rourassa. It is necessary to have M.

It is to be hoped that in the next four years a better mail service will be furnished the outlying districts of British Columbia, oven if Sir William Mulock has to reduce his annual surplus a few hundred dollar--, ELECTION NOTtiS. Altogether tho result ol the election is satisfactory to Liberals. Hob Kolly still appears to bo IT In the politlcB ol Vancouver, Tho deleat of Taylor in New Westminster was n surprise to all the knowing ones. ■__ Hon. Clifford Slfton's majority in Brandon doesn't give any indication of petering out. Tho only redeeming feature In tho flection of Ralph Smith is the defeat of CJlve 1-hilllps-Wooley. It cannot be said that North Toronto conferred a favor on either the Dominion or the Conservative party by the election ot tl-eorge E. Foster. His place could well bo filled In the house by an automatic enumerator. The defeat of Hon. R. L. Borden and A. B. Aylesworth is to be regretted, as both are above dishonest actions, and one half the rascals elected could better be dispensed with than the services of either of these men. _____ ,,. Major Curry, Well known in the TlTiTTtnTrttisrt was defeated in Dalton McCarthy's old constituency—North Simcoe—by Leighton McCarthy. In the hot contests years ago between "I Bet You" Cook and Dalton McCarthy the electors in Simcoe became so accustomed to getting paid tor voting that since then it is difficult for tlie people to determine which party is tho least corrupt. Tho defeat of A. VV. Puttee in Winnipeg will ring down the curtain on tho Labor candidate who allies himself with either of tho old parties, Mr."Puttee was to much, ot a Liberal to be Labor, and too much Labor to be Liberal, llo attempted the impossible task of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. Ka'lpli Smith must bo credited with more foresight. lie used the labor clement au a stepping-stone towards his entree into the Libera! |iarty, He got off tho Labor perch at the right lime. A fow years ago, «s» president ol the Dominion Trade* and tabor Council, in hU opening address, Mr. Smith said : "I havo lost faith in the word and the honor of the memlier* of tho government." To day we find him elected as a supporter of that government In which lio had so little faith, Ralph is the stuff out of which It I* said that the mcmbcr-elce, fur,c»biiiet miuI»tor« aro manufactured Victoria never thinks aloud, or other-1 in Canada. wise. Fortunate Victoria I really liked the excitement of the sport more than he really did the monoy he might win. In all our previous play, as I remember, he and I had about broke even. What he won from me at one sitting I generally recovered the next, and vice versa. Though I run sure we had been at it jor five or six years, and never missed a sess'^n whenever he came to the city, I don't *-uppose there was. $500 difference in all that time We generally began "playing for $10 per game, and often wound up. by staking 8100 on the result. This day he challenged me as usual and invited me to go with him to hi3 room in the old St. Charles hotel to play. He hadn't the remotest idea of my straitened financial condition, fir I still wore as expensive clothes as in my flushest days.

Well, to cut it short, I dt-lh'd prudence and went with him. Lt I had been the possessor of iholhutk ol ling land I would not have wanted any greater capital than the lone §10 in my pocket. The first game I won and many succeeding ones, and at tho end of two hours' play my opponent owed me $2,000. Then he smilingly proposed, to play just one more game, which would decide whether ho would pay mo $4,000 or nothing. In other words ho wanted a chance to get oviii on this one game or else to doublo his indebtedness. I know his che'iute was good for a good deal more than $1,000, and yet, broke as I was, the $2,0001 had won seemed like a million, and it looked criminal to risk it on a single game,, Again something told mo to play him ami I consented. In tho first two deals he made six points while I had hut one, and in my heart 1 wns already cursing my lolly for such odds are not. beaten once in thousand times. While ho thus lacked one |>oiiit oi winning, it was my turn to deal, which made it even worso for mo. I turiird » club and my opponent led out with a king ol that suit promptly, on which I played the nee. He also had the tray, hut to his great chngrin I had the deuce. As a result I scored three polntu, making my total lour, while ho got nothing. It was now his timo to deal and again clubs were trumps.

Only recently a dead .nan by the name of Pierce was .sued ' for somethingoyer $5,000, the plaintiff declaring lhat, having-become entitled • to a fortune, he was introduced to Pierce, wlio al once suggested a game of baccate!. * They • played all night and Pierce won $5,000 and over. The plaintiff acknowledges that he was intoxicated at the time and believed that he had been in the hands of card sharpers. He afterward tried to find Pierce but without success. Finally some months later he chanced lo meet with one of the other players from - whom he learned that Pierce-hud committed sucide. He at once commenced action. The judges, however, declared the story to be impossible and said lhat he could.not convict a dead man of the grossest fraud. . **- Dead men, however, have been found guilty of even worse offences. About ro years, ago a dead man was cited as a co-respondent in a notorious divorce case and his estate was mulcted in damages over $20,000. Similar to that of the Pierce case was one which occur- ed in 1898, when a dead man was sued for $50^000, money won at gambling and, at horse^raciog. It was argued that the deceased was at the time of tin- transaction aware that his betting companion must have been gelling his money by fraud, since the young man's income was only $750 a year. "Hearing that legal proceedings were being taken Dunlop committed suicide. The hearing of the action lasted two days, when a settlement wns effected. A dead sea captain figured ns defen- „ dant in an important shipping action a few years ago. His vessel, the "Nov- grayoff," had run aground, and her valuable cargo was lost. At the hear- .ing of the salvage action it was urged that the captain who lost his life during a storm after the foundering had been guilty of gross ncgligenre and evidence 0f.1he_1n0si_damagi11g_nat11re_j1yj1s1.nrot duced against the dead man. The judge in summing up, declared that had the officer been alive he would most certainly have been arrested on ' a serious charge, and as it- was, the plaintiffs wop their case. '» ...Among other cases of this discription In England was that of a gamekeeper who was convicted of poaching over the estates of a well" known peer. The man, however, protested his innocence and after- serving three months' imprisonment took steps to obtain a reconsideration of his case. His efforts were successful, for the real poacher whs discovered. Hut in the meantime the peer hud died yet the convicted man forthwith commenced an action for wrongful imprisonment und was awarded $750 against the deceased's estate. The-prosecution ftgninst "Lord" Buttrick for obtaining money under false pretenses was proceeded with for several weeks after liisilcntli. Thisjnnn, who hnd at one time been n valet, suddenly gave himself out to he the heir to a peerage nnd .1 fortune He victimized tradesmen nnd clergy in the west of England to a remarkable extent. Some days after his arrest he committed suicide. Hut the hearing of the charges took place on three different occasions iifterwartln nnd wus only closed when the principal prosecutors refused to oiler further twtlauc under the circumstances. It in Ukual, win:n it defendant h.u died since the commencement of an action to stop further proceeding*, or. In criminal cases, to cIomj Iho prosecution. \yh*n Ihe 1-Wstcrs In England were tried for long-firm frauds', however, although William the eldest of (he three brothers, died in h!» cell on the wscond d >y after his arrest, the whole case wait on.

A MIGHTY STEAMSHIP A most inteiestiug study-.is afforded by'a comparison of the ships. Year hy year .they grow larger and attain greater speed and carrying capacity. The great Cunard leviathan, the Brittannia of 1840, had a speed of eighteen knots an hour, a' tonnage ol" 1,154, a. horse-power of 440 and a length of 200 feet. She was considered a wonder in those davs. The Baltic of 1871 had 600 horsepower, was 420 feel long, had a speed of thirteen knots an hour and a tonnage of 3,707. Now comes the great Cunard tur- bine quadruple steamship to be launched in 1906, which is to have a speed of twenty-live knots an hour, and a tonnage of 40,000 and with 75,- 000 horse-power. This vessel will he 800 feet long. These floating palaces that cross iIk- ocean carrying thousands of tons of freight and thousands of human lives make ocean travel easy and pleasant and reduce lo almost nothing the danger from shipwreck. They are so long lhat they reach from wave to wave and do not go up and down as do (he shorter vessels. They do not roll in the trough of the sea because they are so deep ami huge and they can duly the fiercest wrath of Old Neptune. Lniighs and Laughter Speaking of laughs, the most heartrending laugh is the laugh of the summer girl that shook you, and is gadding around with some other fellow. - The most demoralizing laugh to the married man, is the laugh of the family doctor when he comes up and slaps the the married man on the back and shouts, "It's twins, old man I" The most grotesque laugh is that of the, fat woman, at a picnic when she's got a pickle in hcr^mouth. The hollowest laugh is the laugh a man laughs when he sees the necktie his wife has bought him. The cutest sweetest laugh is the laugh — li inmAPiAllit A.-v^i.fj.- -»i— ^\.uviniiT~ " --—- — ■ v.r*n-T"-fi: couple of theatre tickets and a dollar or two hack hire, though. The most dangerous laugh is the laugh of a man when he's gelling shaved at the barber shop. The most untimely laugh is lliat of the boy who is making off in the darkness with the dropped watermelon. The most hilarious laugh is the laugh of the fellow who scoops in the slakes on*a jack-high bluff. One of the most comical Irrughs is that of it person who's got thu hives, where the mouth sticks way out lo one side and the nose acts as though it was mad about it, The most enjoyable is the laugh that's on some one else, —Kx. _________ Why He DIod.

He i« not what we would call a good judjo, but he knew how to play poker He was elected to a second term of ollice and Toothpick Jim electioneered for him.' "Tbat remind-* me of a hig bully known as Big Mike, who a few years 8({0 was the terror of Southern Wiscon-' sin," said P. II Bflidwin, a well known traveling man, who has been in almost every state of the Union. "Big Mike was inouaie.li of all lie surveyed, and his rights there wore none to dispute Janesville, Stou-jliton, Beloit, and Wau kosha were his favorite Haunts. "Big Mike was almost always spoiling for a light, and as ho stood six foot six iu his stockings and was built like a veritable Herctile~i, unbnbv eared to accommodate him in a fi»lit and like Ar- kansaw in Mark Twains o'er true tale, he traveled chiefly on his bluffs and bad looks. "One night Bin Mike was in a saloon in Waukesha, kept by a German with a patriotic name of Yankee Miko, was hungry for trouble. He insulted everybody present, imposed on tho bartender, and made himself a disagreeable nuisance generally. "Presently a tall gaunt, consumptive looking chap drifted in. He looked as iif=ii_fltif^breo'<t>--wiiuld_li!ow-him-aTFaVi=-- He lounged up to tho bar and in a voice sweet and deferential as that of a school girl called for brandy and soda. "Mike stiigiceri'.d np to him and an uoimced his intention to drink at the btrnngcr's expense. The latter paid no attention to him, drank hiB firewater, and turned away. "Mike'became abusive, He followed him.about the loom, cuwing and making pugilistic demonstrations Finally, the consumptive looking stranger turn ed and said: " 'My Christian friend, you seem to be yearning for n thrashing, Bo kind enough to favor me with your address and I will send yoit home to your family when I get through with you.' lie handed Mikts his notebook and pencil, and carefully removed his cost. The audacity of the stranger paralyzed Mike. Ho tried to crawfish, but the stranger 'wouldn't have it.

Title | The Ledge |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : R. T. Lowery |
Date Issued | 1904-11-09 |
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. |
