"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 .

It is\nquite plain that those who seek to divide our membership by misrepresentation have no regard whatever for\nour welfare. '-\nThe newspaper and circular sent\n' from Illinois on the eve of the recent\nelection and bearing the official approval of the officers of District No.\n12, United Mine Workers were designed to injure me personally and indirectly create dissensions in our\n. ranks. ' -,. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 .... .. .-\nThe statements contained in the Illinois newspaper and official circular\ndated December 5th are absolutely\nfalse. You will be convinced of this\nwhen the proper time comes and this\nwill be In the near future.\nIf you are interested in the success\nof the United Mine Workers (and I\nbelieve you are) then you will not permit sentiment, passion or prejudice to\ngovern your judgment. This is npt\na time for petty or personal quarrels.\nI have refusel to allow myself to be\ndrawn into newspaper controversies\nwith those of our members who have\nbo viciously and maliciously assailed\nme1 through the newspapers and other\nchannels.\nIf there ever was a time in the history of our union that required united\naction on our part that time is right\nnow.\nIf there ever was a time when every\nlocal union should be represented in\na national , convention,',, that time, is\nnext, month.\nPersonally I want no sympathy. I\ndesire no favor. Justice is what I demand and this should be accorded to\nevery man, and especially should we\nconcede this to each other as mem-\n' bers of the United Mine Workers of\nAmerica.\nMy advice to you is to be repr ssent-\ned at the next annual convention by\nthe men who are willing to hear the\nfacts and pass judgment in accordance\nwith the merits of whatever is presented for your consideration.\nThe welfare of the miners of this\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 country-should be the first consideration of every member of the.Uiited\n, Mine Workers.

L. LEWIS\nPresident of U. M. W. of A\nCanada has been the first Christian\nnation of the world to inaugurate a\nnational campaign for the evangelization of the world. ' This' movement,\nwhich aims at getting^, the Church\" to\nlook intelligently and determinedly at\nthe problem of the bringing of the\nheathen world within touch of the\ngospel, originated a little over a year\nago in New York. Within the past\ntwo months a deputation of representative laymen of different denominations have at their own expense visited\nthe principal centres from Halifax to\nVictoria holding gatherings to place\nbefore the laymen of the different\nchurches a definite programme. The\n\"bloc\" system is adopted in this\ncampaign, which places Canada's part\nof the unevangellzed world at 40,000,-\n000 souls. -....*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nIt is.estimated that this.will require 1600 missionaries instead of the\n300 now in the field, or an expenditure\nof ?3,200,000, which with $1,300,000 for\nhome missions makes a total campaign fund required of .$4,500,000; this\nfurther divided amongst the evangelical church membership ln Canada is\na contribution of ?5 per member. In\nthe places visited so far by the delegation representing 27 'per cent of the\nmembership, the amounts promised\nrealize an average.of $7.38 per member. It ought to be easily possible\nfor Canada to do*her share in this\ngreat work of \"making good\" in the\n\"Great Commission\" given the Church\nby her Founder. Surely,ten cents\na week is not' too much to ask from\nthe very poorest of those .who enjoy\nthe benefits and privileges of this\nChristian country and profess to believe in the teachings of their Leader. \u00E2\u0080\u009E It is hoped, that by next April\nthe $4,500,000 will be fully in sight.\nIt is interesting to note that the 1,380\nChinamen who last year paid $500\neach to enter the Dominion of Canada, put up nearly twice as much as\nthe entire Christian church of this\ncountry contributed, to foreign missions. Is it not time that we sat up\nand took notice in this matter?\nare eagerly, seeking employment in\nthe public parks, at a wage of $1.50\nper day. .\nAnd we are depressed by this revelation of our deplorable poverty.\nThere is* something out of balance.\nSomebody is getting,too large a share\nof the eight billion dollars the land\nproduces, when in one small community there should be 4,000 men who\nwith those dependent upon thoir. earnings are evidently in need of the necessities of life.\nIn a land so rich as this is it charity that these men should receive or is\nit justice, the justice that will give\nthem a fairer share \"of the products\nof the land which belongs to them as\nmuch1 as to-those to whom most of\nthe wealth flows?\nIh the division of the wealth produced from the land this year who is\nto get the largest share of it? Those\nwho need it most or those who now\nhave the most? This is'' a question\neasy to answer. . .. ,\nA striking exhibit of the unequal\ndistribution of wealth which may be\nroferred to in connection with this Is\nmado In a pamphlet Issued for life insurance advertising purposes. It contains tho results of three separate Investigations*' made In three cities.\nIn our own city it Is shown that, In\na period covering five years 89 per\ncent of the adults who died left no\nproperty at all. Of the rest 7.8 per\ncent lett estates worth less than $5000\n1.5 per cent less than $10,000, and 1.7\nper cent more than $10,000.\nIn other cities the investigation\nshowed results which varied' little if\nany from the figures given. In the\nthree about 85 per cent left no .estate\nat all and a little over two per cent\nleft more than $10,000. * '\nCensus reports and estimates bear\nYou supply the cook; we can supply the n ,\nGoods.

A\nThe time for the sneers of the \"won't work if\nhe had. a chance' variety has indeed passed to oblivion; the unemployed man is no longer a nonentity;\nhe is a fixture in our present day life. The solution of his case is one over which many., men of\nability^and experience have'differed, and President\nElect Taft's famous answer \"of \"God Knows\" appears to be as near correct as any theory yet tried.\nSmall wonder is it that so large a number of\nthinking men are now advocating that property\n\ised for the production of wealth should be held\nin common. * '\nTHE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT\nTHAT KINDLY FEELING\nAnother milestone.in the ever onward march of\ntime has almost been passed, and even now we see\nold Father Time gathering together the few fragments of his fast dying days to make room for his\nsuccessor, who shall bear the title of \"Year 1909.\"\nEre we pass the threshold' we\" are arrested by\nthe joyous Christmas season\u00E2\u0080\u0094that time of youthful dreams of Santa Claus, of reindeer teams, and\nof, mysterious trips down the chimney, the season\nof fancies that rolls back the years to the time\nwhen those sweet nothings, and those mystic enchantments of the Yule-tide lent a color and a\nwdrmth to happy childhood's days\u00E2\u0080\u0094the great play-\nground-of life\u00E2\u0080\u0094though we knew it not.\nIn after years the eager expectancy of receiving\nat this season, gives place to the deeper and truer\njoys of giving. As one by one we assume the time\nhonored and .traditional role of Saint Nicholas, the\ntrue spirit of Christmas giving dawns on us, -and\nthis season finds every person trying in some way,\nto emulate the example of those who laid precious\ngifts at the feet of the Lord on the first Christmas\nDay.\nTo you who have plenty;' a word\u00E2\u0080\u0094remember\nthere are in our midst those homes to which not\nmuch of Christmas cheer will! come\u00E2\u0080\u0094sickness may-\nhave lain the bread winner-aside, and herein lies\na feature' full of pathos and inexplicable sorrow.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Why, should the little ones of these homes be\n.brought face to face, almost before they have experienced the raptures of a Christmas season, with\np the\"fact that \"Santa Claus didn't come this year\"\n4yhy_should_they^hang-it.heir_^sto_ekingsJin^:golod\nfaith, and drop off to sleep after eager watching in'\n' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 the vicinity, of the hearth,, only-..to wake one Christ-\n'inas'morn to find that the cruel*irony of fate had\nrobbed them of one of the greatest and richest moments of the festive season. \" Again\u00E2\u0080\u0094you well-to-\ndo person\u00E2\u0080\u0094whose children's nursery teems with all\n, the heart of a child could yearn for, whose own\nwants-are so few that the choice of a gift for* you\nwould be no sinecure, remember that, to limit your\nbounty to your own well cared for relatives, is to\n'deny yourself tlie purest joy of the season.

Try it,\n- Aliens, four-flushers, etc., are the terms applied\nin a characteristic article in last week's Free Press,\nto the gentlemen who at present form the. Fernie\nTrades and Labor Council. * An alien 'is a person\nfrom a foreign country not yet naturalized; a four-\nflusher is to the card fraternity what the Free\nPress is to the newspaper sphere.\n*We offer no apology for the existence of tlie\nTrades and Labor Council in this city; we ask for\nno special favors on its behalf. It is composed of\nworking men elected from the various organized\ncrafts of the city. That is their,own\" business.\nTlie Council elect officers, which is also their own\nbusiness,' and no affair of the alleged' newspaper,\nknown as the Free\" Press.. Is .it not legitimate that\nthe workingmen of Fernie should interest themselves in affairs of a civic nature,? Have.they not\nthe. same right to come out openly with their ideas\nas others have tb hold a hole-in-the-wall caucus to\nfurther certain interests? By what .'right, divine\nor otherwise, does the Free Press hold.the self-appointed'censorship of actions and , ambitions of\nhonest workingmen? The Citizens' League was\nnot, as our misguided cotem asserts, the offspring\nof the Trades and Labor Council, although the idea\nwas first conceived at-a meeting under its auspices. The success or failure of this organization is\nno business of the Free Fress. We are still in a\nchaotic state of'mind as to why the pent-up spleeri'\nof an over-worked and enfeebled brain \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 should \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 be\npoured with such unmeasured vigor on the alleged\ncatastrophic career of the movement. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0080\u009E . .\nNot many weeks ago the same paper expressed\napproval of the platform adopted to be known as\na Citizens' Ticket: Now the,vocabulary of malice\nand venomous hatred fails to embrace the words\nof denunciation and opposition, which it is appar-^\nently thought necessary to bring into use .to -deal\n.a-jv^ntable_snake_bite..JO-any_m9xem_entJiayingJti\norigin in the ranks of the working class.

When a man goes into a hotel\nand finds something bn the table\nwhich does not suit him,, he does not\nraise hades with the landlord and tell\nhim to stop'his old hotel. Well hardly.\nHe sets that one dish to one side,\nand wades into the many dishes that\nsuit him. It is different with some\nnewspaper readers. They find ah article occasionally * that does' not\" suit\nthem exactly and without stopping to\nthink it'may please hundreds of other\nreaders, make a grand stand play, and\ntell the editor how a paper should bo\nrun- and what he should put into it.

The law requires that.\nNeeded improvements, especially\nsidewalks, must receive the early attention of the. Council. '\n1 am opposed to lax methods of running the city offices and believe that<\nreasonable office hours should\" be\nfaithfully kept. .\nI .think that the city limits should\nbe extended in a northerly. direction.\nI favor legislation' which will ensure\ncareful and economic administration\nof the Relief fund. The people should,\nin my judgment, be allowed to elect\ncommissioners to look after this\nfund.\nI am opposed to the system of op-,\nenirig the door to law breakers and\nlicensing them. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nI refuse to-give private .pledges to\nany one.

'\" If I cannot,wlthout entering into a private agreement, concerning\nprivate or special' interests, get elected, then I prefer defeat with honor\nto the dishonor of being subject to a\nfaction.\nWhen I address the electors as I intend' doing, I shall deal more fully\nwith the above matters, as well as\nothers, - including the necessary removal of temporary buildings and the\nchecking of 1908 accounts.-\nL.

' In the first place-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0he refused them\nadmittance-to--the hotel.1 They asked him if they'could'\"come down\nto his house to see Mrs. Jennings, and*he, said, they, could., He asked\nDean if in the event'of.a big fire in Fernie, or elsewherej' whether\n^th'e_company^vouldJie^prepared-to-pay_the-losses -Dean-answered-\nthat there .would be no'ganger of any loss as the company would pay\neverything; . The -reason Dean said there would be no loss was that\nthe paid up capital was $50,000 and that they reinsured three-fifths.\n. He bought.five shares and.paid fifteeri;pik'.cent'oi1them. -He did not\nknow whether the note was payable.-.to'the Globe Company or tb F.\nJ. Wat'son.i 'The'.statement of the reinsurance and paid up capital\nmade by Dean induced him to take stock and take insurance also of\n$2,000.' \" He paid a premium on the insurance to F. J.

The statement of reinsurance\n\vas made at his houso and not at the hotel. At the conversation at\nhis house Mrs. Jennings, F. J. Watson and myself were present. He\nwas not suro as to Dean's exact words. Mrs. Jennings subscribed\nfor stock. Ho did not remember seeing hor sign an application. This\nclosed tho prosecution.
