"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 .

Most of papers, as they\ngrow older, increase in size and advertisements. This journal reverses\nthe order of things and today it is\nonly half of its former size, but the\nquality of the paper is much better\nthan formerly and the information\ngiven as abundant as ever. We\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 have passed through a year of stirring incidents. Snow, flood, wind and\nfire have caused us to witness many\nbrilliant and thrilling tableaux, too\nlarge for stage indoors. We have\nhad a prosperous year, scarcely a\nmonth passing by that some honest\nmember of thc human family did not\ncall ia and pay us a subscription.\nWe have kept out of jail and no one\nhas sued us for injuring his feelings.\nPeacefulness has -reigned supreme,\nand our private cemetery still sighs\nfor a tenant. We have found the\npeople square\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, most of tii^m\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094and we, have the proud distinction;\nof saying that no other town in Canada better supported a paper, considering its size\u00E2\u0080\u0094the town, we mean\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthan have the citizens^bf^^Takusp.\nDuring our stay in the town no serious calamity has occurred, to mar its\nquiet progress. It has not moved\nwith the celerity that some towns do,\nbut no one has died of starvation, and\nthe musical jingle ofthe silver dollar\nis still heard in its business places.\nWe anticipate a great future for Nakusp, and for that reason we ring up\nthe curtain on the second act and announce to our small but select audience that we will stay witli tlie proposition and Nakusp until Hades\nfreezes over and we can walk on the\nice.
