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\nseven consaculive' weeks\" consideration\nin its various .'phases by llie court's of\n, this province, . the -truly remarkable\n. case of George t>* Collins seems no\nnourer even tiie beginning of the end\n! than on thnt day. early in July when\n, thi* San , Francisco attorney who . is\ndefendant in the sensational proceedings fled ' to77 Victoria as a' haven of\nrefuge from a bigamy prosecution; only\nto be detained in die grasp ofthe law,\nr upon*an extradition'warrant alleging\n-perjury. -Nor; truth to'iell, although\nthe papers '-have contained (.heir daily\ncolumns of; and concerning lhe case,\n; is.there any more intelligible general\nconception ' of. what it is ,all \u00E2\u0080\u009E about.\nCollins is 9 clever, bright, somewhat\nspectacular and picturesque personality;\nand because of his onitorical ability,\n. his ready *wit, and/his affability;'' arid\nbonhomme, the great majority of\nVictorians, without more than a guess\nat the substantial fads of the case, are\ngood-naturedly very willing to \"hope\nthat he will get off\". As a simple-matter of verily, -there have been few ...ore\nremarkable cases in the history of American jurisprudence than this, the one\nand present scene of which is laid in the\nBritish Columbia court. If the title'ot\nCalifornia courts and officers be true,\n,few more brilliant, more resourceful or\nmore daring ciiminals than George D.\nCollins have operated on the Pacifie\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2slope. If on the other hand Collins is\nto be .believed, he is the victim, of' the\nmost collosal, tlte most unique, and the\n,, most elaborately perfected and comprehensive conspiracy that, has ever yet\nbeen formed,to enmesh and destroy an\nindividual. . Briefly: According to1 thc\n7evidence of. the State of California,\nCollins has for years employed all. his\ntalents to finding flaws and technical!-;\nties whereby convicted criminals may\nbe preserved from-tlw'legal punishment\n. of their offences. As to his own\" pise,\n'\u00E2\u0080\u009E he is stsited io nave married one Char-\nlotta Newman and also to have been\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 unduly intimate with his wife's sister,\n.Agnes, snd upon-the-death of'Agile's\n., from diphtheria, Collins is said to have\n< ' laid .the foundation for a denial of his\n\marrisige with Charlotta by interment\n' -of Agnes as his wife, and shortly there-\n* rafter began . courting one Clarice\n'. JJlcCurdyi a young Cliicagoan of-con-\n- jiderabie property.. They were.in lime\n.' married, and upon this marriage\n(Charlotta being still alive and with her\n^Wro^h\"1le15^)^fie*Bigamy proceed^\n', tags arc based.. .Since bigamy: is not\n&n extraditable crime, the California\nI authorities seek to regain possession of\n^CoUiris upon proceedings for perjury,\n. lie having in applying'-tbr his Inst mar'\n-triage license made affidavit as required\n7 by tlieCaliforiiia practise of his eligibility to cont.ra4.-t al marriage. On. the\n'.' inther hand, Collins avws that he is the\nvictim of,a. most comprehensive conspiracy. The plot, he declares, was\nworked up by. theHibernia Bank of,\nSan Francisco, out of revenge because\nlie would not quash proceedings begun\nhy n client against tlie bank through\nwhich it stands to lose large sums of\nmoney. This conspiracy, he says further, is joined in by the press, the entire\nbur awociutinn, ths judges, and the\n-grand jury of San Francisco\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\n1 judges out ol hatred because of his having secured reversals of their decinions,'\nthe others because he has employed his\ntalents as nn attorney to legally protect the criminal element. As for his\nown ense, he alleges that he never was\nmarried to Charlotta; that ho whs\nmarried to Agnes, first by contract and\nlater, at her request, in tbe church, nl\nthe date given by the prosecution ns\nthat of his wedding with Charlotta ; he\ndeclares thai ho applied for tlio license\nwith the nn me in blnnkj and thnt some\none else 'tilled In \"Charlotta\" for\n\"Agnci\"; he assort*! thnt the priest\nwus wrong ns lo the bride's mime, so\nwas the recorder of marriages, so were\nthe witnesses, nnd the doctors who\nlmve sworn to his children being the\nchildren of Charlotta and iiNsUtrd by\nthem Into this troublous world, \"have\neternally damned with perjury their\nImmortal soult.\". Upon the first pro.\nceedings in the British Columbia court,\nthe common application for extradition\nbefore County judge Lamp-nun, that\nlearned gentlemitn decided lhat Collins\nmust go back.

F.\" Borland\nis acting as general agent.. Mr. Borland with a party of nine completed a\nthree months inspection a little more\nthan two weeks ago. He was evidently impressed with the value of, the\nproperty, for he forthwith approached\niMajor John Nicholles, the head of the\nVictoria syndicate, proposing an out-\nand-out purchase at $700,600. This\noffer was laid before the others interest\ned, Messrs. C. F. Todd, Wm. \"Wilson,\nS. J. Pitts and .W*.A. Robertson, the\nlatter being the original prospector, and\nhas been accepted. Mr. Borland is\nnow en route to Montreal to confer\nwith his associates, and active exploitation is to begiii in the spring. ' As a\npreliminary a large sawmill'-is to be\nerected, and incidental to the development of the new collieries a forty mile\nlong railway line must be built. For\nthis, as well as for charting and mapping the coast, improving harbors, etc.,\naid will be sought from both, the federal and the provincial parliaments at\ntheir next sittings. . .\n' It is doubtful indeed if history can\nprovide a precedent for a minor happening in connection with the sitting of\nthe Admiralty court at this city last\nFriday, when Hon. Justice Martin confirmed the seizure and ordered the forfeiture of the Seattle halibut-poaching\nschooner North. His Lordship on that\noccasion appe.ired wearing the %,'tg,\nand directed counsel and registrar to\nwear the horsehair also. As all British\nColumbia is aw.iie, there was an act\npassed during the Ia*.t session of the\nlegislature, at the initiative of Stuart\nHenderson, M. P. P., abolishing the\nwig in British Columbia courts, wherein before, its wearing had'been at first\ncompulsory and then optional. It is no\nsecret that Hon. Justice Martin's extreme regard for the fashions aiid\nmillinery of the court, carried in the\nopinion of many to ihe point of ludicrous buffoonery, was the excuse for\nenactment; and while.it was before. the\nHouse He strenously opposed \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 its passage, urging resistance also after it had\nbecome law but being overrqled by his\nbipther judges. In Admiralty, matters\nin this province, however, Hon. Justice\nMartin is a power unto himself... Hence\nthe opportunity was taken to throw\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0uo\"w-iT\"th\u00C2\u00A5gage~6f\"Kittle to the \"legislature; and most curiously the Attorney-\nGeneral, whose duly it is to champion\nand defend provincial authority and\nlaw, was a\" joint offender . with- His\nLordship. Hon. Mr. Wilson has also\ncherished a lingering affection for lie\nwig and other emblems of the old court\ndays, and required little convincing,\nalthough at.first he declared himself in\nmutiny. The statute, it may be pointed out, forbids explicity the wearing of\nthe \"customary official wig in any\ncourt in British Columbia,\" and hence,\nHon. Justice Martin's contention that\nthe Admiralty court is federal, and not\na court of British Columbia, is held by\nlending lawyers to be unsound. But\nthe point that is material is that, a\nstatute being placed among tho laws\nof the province, a judge should be\nfound in British Columbia to set an\nexample of contempt for law, and an\nAttorney-General to join him in disobedience of the very laws he Is sworn\nto assert nnd maintain. It is in order\nfor Justice Marl in,1 Hon. Mr. Wilson\nand- Registrar TyrwIiitl-Drnlto-to be\nproceeded against at nny time for an\nindictable offence\nshipped-to tbe Northwest Territories\nand. Manitoba will be ,200 carloads. -\nThe largest and best tomato farm on\nthe Pacific coast is that of Gelatly &\nSoils, In \"the Okanajjan valley. They\nexported last year 14,000 crates of\ntomatoes.' Thomas JOarl, of Lytton,\nwill have 40,000 pounds of grapes this\nyear for export. In the Sirnilkameen\nI found all of the finest grades of\nEuropean grapes growingto perfection?\nI never saw such' large clusters; they\nwere a foot in length.\" These facts show\nthe great superiorty of our soil and\nclimate for fruit raising. Why, man\nalive, British Columbia cannot fail to\nbecbrnr'one if the greatest fruit growing countries in the world owing to tho\nfact that it has such splendid soil and\nso superb a climate.\n\"One of the principal objects of,'my\nvisit to Rossland is to induce the merchants here to jnirchaee the fruit they\nsell from the fruit growers of the pro\nvince. I desire also to induce the- men\nwho raise the frult.to cater more to thr\nhome market, instead of exporting to\nthe Northwest Territories. The result of this will be the keeping of the\nmoney .sent out for fruit at home- and\nthe preventing of tbe introduction of\npests in the homo orchards. Wo have\nno coiliri moth, no San Jose scale or\nother fruit pests to amount to anything\nhere. The orchards nre clean, and the\nfruits are of a-superior quality and not\nspeckled and bored by pests of all kinds\nas some of. the fruit that ia brought in\nhere from the States is.\" '\" \u00E2\u0096\u00A0>\nThe above we clip.froni the Rossland\nMinor, and is a report of .Mr.' Cunningham, government fruit inspector, who\nwas in Fernie a few days ago. While\nhere he coiidurnued some fruit whicli\nh'ad been shipped in from Washington\nand made arrangements at Gateway\nto have the. fruit coming in at that\npoint held for twenty four hours bc-foro\nbeing allowed to reach its destination.\nThis may be alright but our, fruit \"deal\nera and their customers dn not seem to\nbe in love with the scheme.' We havo\nno fruit trees here and we cannot sen\nthat a rigid enforcement of the regulations will benefit anybody but the\nOkanogan mnn who has fruit to sell.\nOne of our fruit dealers reports that the\ninspector visited his place and proposed\nto condemn and destroy somo, fh*e\nlooking peaches which he had on dis\nplay In his window, but thc dealer\nobjected to the method of inspection\nand the inspector left, the store without\ncarrying out his intention of condemn\ning the fruit.
