"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."@en . ""@en .

C.,1 NOVEMBER 7, 1908.\n-ft.\nWON FIGHT WITH\nKNOCKOUT BLOW\nThe Calgary News; has the i.ollo*.*f'\ning to say of the fight between Lauder, and Kearns.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Yes, it's true all light/*'\"..^ \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-\u00C2\u00BB' ,\n. -Lauder won on u knock out intir-S\nninth.\nAt least he put Jack Kearns down'\nfor \"the count. Whether Kearns took\nthe count to save himself from further punishment or .whether he was\ntoo frail to stand the punch that Lauder sent in on his jaw is still another\nmatter. It - certainly was not , a\nsledge hammer blow that did the\ntrick. And yet he seemed badly dazed. .\nLying on the floor stretched at his\nfull length the referee counted him\nand for a couple of seconds after he\nmade' no attempt -to move. When he\nwas finally dragged lo his feet he\nstaggered from the centre to tho^\nwest side of the ring, and fell iu a\nheap across the ropes. Willing ai.d\nfriendly hands went to his aid nnd lie\nwas assisted to his corner,\" and re-\n' vived sufficiently to walk to tbe,\ndressing room,'\nThere was absolutely no question\nas to whoso fight it was, and the\ncrowd which filled every seat in tho\nLyric theatre, wildly cheered tho little Scotchman, who thus decisively\nadded another .victory to his already\nlong list.\nKearns'was not in Lauder's class,\n, and not nearly such a game fighter as\n' Eddie Merino.\n,, It was not a particularly. exciting\n* exhibition at any period, Lauder all\nthrough having slightly the. best of\nthe fight. -.\nKearns managed to floor Billy by a\na swat on the. side of the head just\nbefore the close of the first round,\nbut' it did not appear to have done\n-*\nThe landowning and other wealthy-\nclasses of Britain have embarked1 in\na systematic crusade against Socialism, and trained speakers and writers will be' employed to stem the pre-,\nsent strong current of opinion.- The\nleaders-iri this new movement\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 evidently fear that by tacitly and actively encouraging the Socialist propaganda during (he last twenty or\nmore years they have \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 been sowing\ndragons' teeth. The all ruling' majority may. at. any time lay predatory\nhands on'private property on a gigantic scale. Recent support, of Socialism by the ruling classes in \"Britain began in the early eighties. Up\nto that time the basic claim, of the\neconomist's, that man is, entitled' to\nwhat he1 produces - or earns under\nfreedom of contract, was advanced\nagainst every Socialistic demand for\nan equal division of the products of\nlabor. This is the instance of property inherent in1 man. Herbert\nSpencer, in strengthening the cause\nof individualism, appreciated and declared that a freedom of contract involved a recognition of all men's\nequal right of access to the earth's\nsurface.' This\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 feature of his reasoning was kept in the background until brought forward by the\" Irish land\nagitation, and by American writers,\nwho devised ' practical schemes for\nthe application of his principles. The\nlanded class-found their titles assailed, and could find no. reassurance in\nBlackstone or any other authority on\nBritish law. In the alarm which was\nconcealed under an attitude of-superior concern, they began to tolerate\nSocialistic; arguments - formerly denounced.\nTo the' untrained mind the Socialistic promise of a share of the wealth\nof the -rich appealed more strongly\nKING EDWARD HOTEL\n;'V;J,fe'iipPPQSITE OLD STAND! \" \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\"'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2--\n' ! ~>*\\nTable Board $6.00. , All old prices now charged\n\" Excellent .Cuisine\nJ.

Post: The increase of nearly,.35t) per.cent, Inithe.\nsocialist voterof..l904 over that polled in 1900, together With the\" enthusiasm of the,adherents of Debs in-the.\npresent campaign, is a cause of anxiety to thoughtful watchers of political events' in' this couthry, not only\nas to the voting strength of the.Socialists this season, but as to the probable power of that party, in future\nelections.\nThe well advised in all the other\nparties are cognizant of the influence\nof the thousands \".who are flocking to\nDebs'., meetings, ready to contribute\nmoney for the privilege of hearing\nhim vociferate on socialism and the^ suits in this line, and if the hotels,\nbenefits which he. claims will come\nif its principles eventuate into laws,\nThese recruits to Debs audiences' are\nfurnishing probable converts to the\ncause he advocates, and means desertions by the hundreds from the Democratic and Republican ranks. Well\nmay the leaders of these two parties\nbe apprehensive ofthe inroads made\nby the Socinilist propaganda.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2In the industrial centres and wherever man does congregate for habit\nln large numbers there will be found\na fertile field for socialism. 'The\nteachings of its, intense radicalism\nappeal to the discontented and the\ndissatisfied, and to the ignorant and\nunfortunate who hold that the existing form of government is responsible for their material and social failures and. shortcomings,' it affords an\neasy and \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 a reassuring oxplanantion.\nThe depression in business during\nthe last year will bring thousands to\nthe study and support of Socialism\nwho- would have shunned it had the\ntimes.been better. ' '.\nWhether \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the Socialist party .. can\ncontinue a phenomenal progress with\nthe people - of,the country all enjoying prosperity is another question.\nBut giving due weight to the figures of 1900 and 1904 and the size .of\nthe vote polled in the election of 1906\nby the Socialists, there is much on\nwhicli to base the prophecy of greater strength for Debs and his followers. , . \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 '\nNo'\"' man * can give careful thought\nto the. possibilities of.this increase,\nhear \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 the muttered apprehensions of\nthe political wiseacres' in regard\nihereto, and consider the claims of\ntlie.

One of the results surpassing the\nmost sanguine hopes of most Republicans was Mr. Taft's carrying greater\nNew,York by a plurality of 15,654, furthermore his plurality- in New York\nstate will be approximately iS9,o34,\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nexceeding by nearly 14)000 Roosevelt's\n\"plurality of 1904.\n 0nly__sdcond7inlrinlni-7nf- romwi-in^\nTo representative Wm.

About ?7.\"*,iH.0 worth cf me.\".!\nwas taken out of a small seam thero.\nNumerous reports of finds of gold in\ndifferent parts of the province came\nto hand, but it was not until the year\n1S57 that-tho'discoveries were'made\nthat gained for British Columbia ilia\nname of hying a\"gold producing conn\ntry.\nThe first authenticated discovery of\nplacer gold on the Thompson River\nwas about-1857,'and soon Qat ter wards\nrich finds al Hill Bar, near' Yale, on\nthe Fraser River, were reported. This\nwas the beginning of the great Fraser\nRiver excitement.

The aggregate of\nWilliams Creek for the first seven\nyears of working, of which no record\nwas kept, was very largo. Tn 1SG1\n$200,000 worth, of gold was taken out\nof the Campbell discovery claims, and\n! tlie adjacent Whitehall claim both of\nthem on Lightning Creek. Attempts\n.were mado almost from the start to\nreach the deep channel of this creek\nout after much work were abandoned\nin J864. Sinking was however, resumed in 1S70, and having proved to\nbo very successful, led to the subsequent great developments. The rich\ncharacter of the ground' on this creek\nmay be illustrated .by stating that\nat one time the Butcher claim yielded\n350 ounces a day, the Aurora 300 to\n000 ounces, a day and the Caledonia\n300 ounces.\" \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ,\nOther placer gold discoveries were\nmade on Stikino River, Northern Cas-\nsiar in the sxities; in the' Oniincca\ndistrict near latitude 5G dog., In 1868,\nin the Liard river drainage basin in\n1872 and at Allin in\L89S.
