"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 .

P.'R..and C. N. R., cites , a\nnumber of reason why the eight hour\nday should be granted. \"The chief argument is to .the effect that the,long\nhours which are frequently put In by\noperators*subjects many of'the employees to strain which physically they\nare unable to stand, and as,a result a\ngreat many/mistakes occur which they\nclaim might be avoided if a better.regulation were in order. - '\nThe local telegraphers mostly agree\nthat some better regulation should be\nin force and a number who were seen\nlast night with regard to the matter\nasserted that in the large cities the\nregulations were better than in some\nof the smaller towns on the railway\nlines. , In the latter instances the operators nearly always have to work\ntwelve hours,a day and in some cases\neighteen or twenty hours.\nHOW RAILWAYS WOULD BE\nAFFECTED ,\nShould an act be - passed such as\nthe telegraphers ask the railway companies-would'suffer to some extent. In\nthe smaller* centres where there is\nonly' the one man to do the work at\nthe station, if a train is late the operator under present regulations has to\nstay on .duty until it arrives. If the\neight, hour service1 were in effect the\ncompany would be compelled'to get\nanother operator.\nThe eight hour service \u00C2\u00B0 would do\naway with the present system of overtime and the schedule of pay would;\nbe for'eight-hours only. Under the.\npresent .arrangement, if an operator\nworks moVe than the usual day he receives ' extra pay, although In the\nsmaller \"centres it is said that this\ndoe's not'amount to\" much. If the\ntrain js - late and the operator has \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 to\nstay on' duty' it \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 is said that he gets\nbut twenty five cents no' matter' i! the\ntrain be two or three hours late.\n7'\"Advance Ih the age of marriage, experience lh and distaste for domestic\nduties, uneconomic-'habits of spending\nand a more reday resort to divorce as\na refuge of domestic Ills .are somo ot\nthe pathological'.results,, of 'the Industrial employment of. married women.'1'\" -'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ' \",*\" *' \" \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 .-.\nProfessor Ulysses G.

(Maeleod) in\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 his address in the debate' on the\nspeech from the throne.\nThe Crow's' Nest mines, he said, are\nproducing 4!>00 tons per day,' which\nthe C. P. R. could \"not begin to handle. Mine owners had told him that\nthe' output, could be doubled in one\n. month and trebled, in six months, but\nfor - the car shortage. \" Mines were\nclosing down 17 days in the month on\nthis account.. * The south must have\nmore railways, and he was glad to see\nthe government was now framing a\nroute.., The fact,too, that shipment\ncould be' made through western ports\nall the year round; as against only 1%\nmonths by lakes route, meant a great\ndeal, and would go far towards relieving the car shortage grievance. Premier McBride of British Columbia has\nalso been asked to be present at the\nconference.\n* * *\nThe members will this week plunge\ninto the heavy . work. of the' session,'\nopening with the discussion of the re\ndistribution bill which .is to* provide 13'\nadditional constituencies in the .province.

Capon of Hos-\nMADRID, Jan. 29\u00E2\u0080\u0094The fate of Messina has overtaken the city of Barcelona, the principal Mediterranean seaport of Spain. Despatches from points\nof northeastern Spain being'terrible\nnews that the entire region near Bar-;\ncelona has been torn by a devastating\nearthquake shock, and that many\ntowns -have been destroyed and that\nprobably hundreds of lives have been\nlost. At Barcelona the earthquake\nwas made more horrible by the ac\ncompanying tidal wave, which; engulfed - the' section of the city bordering\non the, water and caused immense\ndamage to tho shipping of thai, port ,\nThe disaster was made unusually\nterrifying by the-series of titanic subterranean explosions followed by an\noverwhelming roaring like,discharges\nof heavy, artillery. .\nNO EXACT REPORTS\n.There is panic \"among the people in\nthe affected districts and no exact reports can be obtained as to the number of vicitms or the actual * extent\nof the devastation. . According to latest advices a number of sea coast\ntowns In the northeastern part of\nSpain are in ruins. Many of them\nwere^swept by a similar tidal wave\nto that whicli struck Barcelona. From\nCouta, Morocco, across,the Straits of\nGibraltar, from the Spanish coast, the\nreport comes that the earthquake dislodged a great landslide which buried\nthe village of. Romara under otns of\nearth and rock, and crushed out .'the\nlives of several hundred inhabitants.\nIt is also reported that there was widespread damage in the town of Totana,\n-where many houses collapsed. A number of. other towns in the province of\nMurcia also suffered the same fate.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 The news of the disaster that overtook , Barcelona \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 came. first. from the\ncity cf Tarassa which is about fifteen\nmiles inland from that port and ^where\nthe damage,, was not so great.\nFEARFUL PANIC\n; Reports' say that there is ,a fearful\npanic among the people of Barcelona,\nand that all telegraph and telephone\ncommunication is Interrupted. For this\n\"reason, authentic .details, could not be\nreadily obtained. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 One report-'said\nthat as the tidal wave receded the entire ,water front of the town, with Its\nquays and massive buildings, sank out\nof sight beneath the waves. The news\ncould not be verified \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 from official\nsources and every effort is being made\nto get some definite account of what\nhns occurred, The most nows from\nBarcelona Ib being brought out of the\ndevastated district by couriers and refugees, who of courseware almost Insane from fenr, and those who have\nbeen Bent Into the earthquake, zone\nfrom outside points have not yet been\nable to mako their reports to tho government. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2'*\n1 The g'roatost excitement prevails ln\nMadrid and preparations for rollof of\n(he stricken districts are already under way.\nThe wildest rumors are afloat and\nare increased by lack of real news as\nto what has happened. At the government offices most alarming reports are\nbeing received from points along the\nMediterranean coast, and while the\nofficials realize that these reports may\nbe, exaggerated the worst is' feared.\n, SOMETHING ABOUT CITY -.\nLONDON, Jan.,29\u00E2\u0080\u0094Madrid despatches report that the city of Barcelona\nwas destroyed by an .earthquake and\ntidal wave. A slight shock was reported at \"Malaga early to-day but no\"\ndamage was reported at that time.'\nThe City of Barcelona* in the province of that name is three hundred\nand twelve miles northeast of Madrid.\nIts population is approximately half a\nmillion. - The town is really two cities\nin one, the old section with its irregular tortuous, narrow streets, and the\nnew, with its* modern structures, comprising silk, cotton, wool, lace and\nshoe factories and handsome dwellings\nin the exclusive quarter.\nThe \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 principal buildings are the\ncathedral, the deputies palace, the\ncustom house, exchange and the prison\nwhich is also constructed on artistic\nlines. There are four public libraries\nand two museums. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\"\nITS HISTORY\nBarcelona's history runs back to the\ndawn*of Christianity. Tradition has\nis that Carthagenians under Hamilcar\nBarca, settled in the district. When\nCarthage fell and the Romans became\nmasters of the then known world Roman troops annexed Barcolena.\nAfter the Romans came the Goths,\nwho possessed the province until 714'\nwhen the Saracens'v/rested it from\nthe then owners.
