"The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906)."@en .

Dr.\nOhown strove to teachjn his lecture\nlast night in the Methodist church\non \"Politics in Canada.\" Dr. drawn\nis secretary ol the prohibition and\nmoral reform department of the\nMethodist church in Canada, his\nwork including, besides the Dominion, Newfoundland and as far south\nas the Bermudas. He is a nian of\nfine . presence, good delivery and\nspeaks in an easy conversational\nstyle, marshalling his facts logically,\nWilli here and there an amusing an\necclote tn Illustrate some point\nAbove all he is moderate intone and\nstrictly impartial in his treatment\nof political parties, so that the listener cannot It'll from his lecture\nwhether he is Liberal or Conservative. What be strove to impress\nlast night was that it is only by tbe\nforce of public conscience that politics can he made pure, and in placing his ballot in the box, tbe elector\nmust feel tbe great responsibility\ncast upon him of selecting the besl\nmen to govern the country, not to he\nguided by party affiliation at the expense ol right. He believed that the\npublic men generally ol Canada desired polities to he on a higher planc\j\nand placet] the responsibility for\nninth- of the wrong doing on the unscrupulous elector who demanded a\nbribe and the tremendous pressure\nbrought to bear on members ol parliament or a legislative by those\nseeking some advantage to the barm\nof the country at large. The public\nconscience in Canada was not so\nawake in regard to political purity\nas in the Old Country. Here people\nconducted questionable ways in politics and were otherwise respectable\ndescended to methods in elections\nthat in private life they would nut\ntolerate, For instance, he recalled\ntlie case of a medical man who had\nbeen expelled from ft rifle association\nin Canada for bribing a marker; tint\na politician brought before a church\ncourt for bribery at election time\nwas excused on the ground that he\nacted dining a:period ,ot intense excitement. In England recently a\nprominent solicitor had been sentenced to the penitentiary. lor seven\nyears for corrupt practices at elections; hut he ventured to say that as\njuries were constituted today it\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2would have been impossible to. convict such a man in Canada if it were\nknown beforehand that his guilt\nwould mean a similar term of imprisonment. Dr, Chown explained\nsome of the corrupt practices in elections and urged that the people ol\nthe churches had no right to allow\nundesirable men to be elected, tor\nwant of interest by the better class\nof tbe people. Tbe ballot was one\not tbe most sacred things in lite,\nami should lie exercised with a lull\nsense of the responsibility it bore.\nFrom here Dr. Chown goes to Victoria and will visit Portland , afterwards going .through the lower portion tj\u00C2\u00A3lhe Province, then on toCal\ngafy anil Edmonton anil other portions of the Northwest, getting back\ntq, Ontario in November.\nAnti/Ritualistic Crowd Shout Insults at Venerable Archbishop of York and\nthe Clergy\nHissing and Yelling at Procession of Civic\nand Church Dignitaries Through\nthe Streets\n(Associated Press Despatches.)\nOYAMA'S MOVEMENTS\nPUZZLE RUSSIANS\nIn Case of Surprise Continue Preparations\nto Retreat From Muken on\nShort Notice\nStill Hoping That Port Arthur May Gon\ntinue to Hold Out and Embarras\nthe Japanese\nLondon, Oct. 5. \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Extraordinary phlcts.\nscenes were witnessed at Liverpool j As tlie procession, headed by tbe\nin connection with tbe annual Church 'civic regalia, Irom tbe Corporation,\not England Congress now proceeding followed by the Ills-hops .and Clergy, to size up the\nthere.

Some ol\nthe critics point out that the conditions at present may force a\nchange of Oyama's plan of campaign.\nThe continued failure of the attack on the Port Arthur fortress\nand the enormous losses sustained by\nthe besiegers they think may compel Oyama to dispatch some veteran\ntroops from the Manchurian army to\nGen. Nodzu's support, as the rcin-\ntorcements arriving at present are\nmostly reserve men. Unstinted\npraise is bestowed on Lieut. Gen.\nStoesscl for the heroic defense made\nby the garrison, Which naturally is\nincreasing the hope that the fortress may hold out.\nIn the meantime Gen. Kurnpatkiu\nis receiving reinforcements, especially artillery. All the experts express\ngreat doubt whether Kuropatkin contemplates more than a passable resistance at Mukden, where they say\nthe topographical conditions are unfavorable for defense. It is considered significant that the critics generally agree that Tic Pass is a better position for defense arid offense,\nbcalig protected by the Liao River\non the west, and offering strong positions on the Kama Range oa the\neast. The general conclusion is that\nthe Japanese lorces will show their\nhands in a very short time. Evidence is accumulating that the Japanese officers are at the head ol\nbands of Chinese bandits operating\non Kuropnlkin's right flank, and the\nreports ot agitation among the Chinese, spread by the anti-foreign propaganda are increasing tlie feeling\nof anxiety. These factors will soon\nhave to lie severely reckoned with by\nRussia.\nSCENE OF NEXT BATTLE.\nTokio, Oct. 5.-(6 p.m.)\u00E2\u0080\u0094It Is evident that the country which Is embraced Ijy an irregular triangle, the\napex ot which is Tie Pass, with the\nbase running from Mukden to Fusan\non the upper reaches ol the Hun river will soon be the theatre ol extended and extensive military operations. The Russians apparently\narc using Tie Pass as their main\nbase, and arc constructing a scries\nof defences to shield it Irom the\nsouth and east. Two roadways approach Tic Pass. One of these roadways is the main highway from Mukden and the other, which is smaller,\nstarts at Fusan and winds through a\nbilly country.

Dr. Chown\nlast night on \"Polilies in Canada,\"\ntouched on a point that loo often is\nlost sight of. Men allow the selection ot candidates to be made by a\ncomparatively tew of the electorate,\ninstead ot attending the conventions\nand doing their best lo get the most\ndesirable men nominated. Some men\nexpress themselves as altogether loo\nhigh-minded and good to bother with\npolities; then proceed to grumble at\nthe way things are run and decry\nthe parties loudly. There is no\nman too good to bear bis part in\nthe government ol the country, it is\nhis duty to do so as well as a privilege. If there is wrong doing or corruption in polities, it is because of\nlistlessness; because men, instead of\nstriving to right a wrong and bearing their part in flic fight, sit down\nand growl at the way things are carried on and sometimes do not even\nbother to cast a vote. II every respectable man in the country look\nthe trouble to interest himself in the\nelections, there would soon be tar\nless reason to complain of in the\nmethods used and gradually the\nwhole tone of our political contests\nwould rise. That is the only means\nby which a remedy can be effected.\nThe people are at heart lions,'; and\nsometime the result will be attained\ncd.\nFALSE PRESERVERS.\nA strange fraud in the material\nused for life preservers has just\nbeen unearthed in the United States\nand in consequence several officers ot\na company which manufacturers cork\nhave been indicted by the department\nof justice. The discovery arose\nthrough a certain company ordering\na quantity of cork blocks which they\nintended manufacturing into life preservers. On receipt of Hie blocks,\nthey proved too light to comply with\nthe requirements of Hie law and the\ncork company were notified. They\npromised to rectify tlie. matter and\nsent on some blocks that were so\nmuch heavier that suspicion was\naroused, the blocks were broken open\nand each was found to contain an\niron weight, In other words, the\ncork company were sending out material that would have been utterly\nuseless tor the purpose intended and\nil the fraud had not been discovered,\nthe life preserver company might\ninnocently have - turned out a lot ot\ngoods that in time ot ncctl would\nhave proved as useless as the preservers were shown to lie at the\nburning of the steamer General Slo-\ncttm oft New York some months ago.\nThat men should deliberately, for the\nsake of illegal gain, trifle with human lives is something horrible to\ncontemplate. Had tlie preservers\nbeen made and sonic dreadful loss\nof life occurred at sea, because ol\ntheir Worthlessncss, the makers ol\n\"preservers\" and not the cork men,\nwould likely have been blamed tor\na wholesale murder. It is to be\nhoped that, if found guilty, the men\nnow accused of the fraud may bo'\npunished with the utmost severity.\nEASTKOOTENAY\nOIL FIELDS\nOld Hands Say They are Most\nFlattering Prospects in the\nWorld\nJohn P. Bluff, one of the earliest\nprospectors for oil in East Kootcnay\nB. C, and II. Thompson, ol California, an oil expert, have returned\nfrom a trip to thoso oil fields, says\nthe Spokane \"Spokesman-Review.\"\n\"We left the railroad at Belton,\n35 miles east ot Kalispcll, Mont.,\nwhere we took our guide, Thomas\nJefferson, an old trapper, who discovered the oil seepages 14 years\nago while trapping beaver. Wc went\nto Upper Kintla Lake, thence to\nUpper Kintla Creek, which lies between four different oil seepages\nalong the boundary line, which\nslashed down 20 feet wide ou the\n40th parallel.\nAt the Kintla Creek seepages we\ncollected oil, peat, muck saturated\nWilli oil, bituminous matter ami\nrock saturated with oil. At tho\nseepage Hie water was covered with\noil. the strong odor ol kerosene prevailing. Cn stirring the bottom ot\nthe springs more oil arose to tho\nsurface.\nWe visited the Butte Oil Company's drilling rig at Lower Kintla\nLake, about hall a mile from tbe\nseepage. The well is filled with\nwater to within a few leet of the\ntop of the casing and is in constant\nebu.lilion from marsh gas.\nRound the seepages wc found abund\nant and large deposits of asphalt\nand bitumen. Ignition of the escaping gas from the well seat forth a\nflame ten feet high Irom the mouth\not the casing, and this well has not\ngained sufficient depth to reveal the\nimmense subterranean oil lakes.\nWe visited Kisbenanah Creek,\nwhere there is another abundant oil\nseepage. Then we went to the head\not Starvation Creek and crossed\nover to Sage (or Oil Creek), which\n(lows into the Flathead on the United Slates sitle.\nWe met prospectors ior oil on their\nway to the same seepages, all pushing forward to establish locations\nthat evening.\nThe old trapper, guide anil discoverer of these wonderful seepages\ntook us to the edge of the south\nhank of the creek. Within 300 feet\nof the creek penetrating and strong\nodors of refined kerosene prevailed,\nand on the opposite hank, in pockets\nand fissures in a reef of blue shale,\nwc found gas and oil bubbling, anil\noil collecting in pockets on the surface.\nThe gas ignited and the oil collected on the water was white, with\nslight fluorescence, not unlike refined kerosene.\nIt certainly occurs that this see'\npage is a most wonderful oil kerosene spring in the world, being the\nlightest over known ot crude oil. An\nanalysis contains 80 per cent, illum-\ninant.\nThe next day our guide brought us\nto a seepage on Sage (Oil Creek),\nabout a mile east ot the first seepage. The oil seeped from the\nground in many places, sand and\ngravel being simply loaded with oil:\nand 50 feet farther up the creek wc\ntound our four holes in the rock containing oil, one of which had an\noverflow of yellow oil. All the stratified rock was saturated with oil,\nand dipping out the oil did not diminish the How, it coming in as last\nas it was taken up.\nAt the big seepage north-west ol\nSage or Oil Creek Valley we found\noil issuing from the banks ol drift,\nwhich was thoroughly saturated with\noil.

Write down your\nguess, sign your name, put the card in the envelope and seal\nit up; either hand it to the canvasser or leave it at the\nLedger office. All guesses must be in during October; none\nwill be counted after that date.\nThe census will be computed by the 15th of November.\nTl;e envelopes will then be opened and the following prizes\ngiven:\n1. To the person who guesses nearest to the exact number of people living within one-half mile of the postoffice\n(exclusive of Chinese) $20.00 in gold.\n2. The person coming second nearest, $ 10.00 in gold.\n3. The person coming third nearest, #5.00 in gold.\nIf-two or more persons tie for any place the money will\nbe divided.\nThis contest will be absolutely fair.

LADYSMITH LEDGER\nFOOLED IBY\nTHE FACTOR\nThe union is spreading writes Cy\nWarman\u00E2\u0080\u0094the labor union I mean. It\nhas broken out lately among the\nbush frees on the Upper Athabasca.\nAt one ol the Hudson's Bay posts:\npresided over hy a sturdy Scotch\nfactor, the labor question has been\nfought out, and the Indian's sense of\nhumor, also his rights to sell his\nlater and his furs, lound out. and\nllxcd.\nWhatever ot by-laws and constitution the Ked ]VIen possess, is preserved in the unerring memory of tho\nmen ol the union. It was all duo\nto the eloquence and enterprise ol a\ndec prince named Paul Korcuctt.\nHis elder brother was a chief, but\nhis seven younger brothers were all\nrespectable workingmen, voyagers,\nhunters, trappers and fur catchers.\nThe Northern Indian is not lazy. The\nfather ot Paul was a Hudson's Bay\ntrapper, \"his grandfather too, and\nhis lather also,\" as Dr. Druuiniond\nwould say. For more than a hundred years the Forchctts had rendered allegiance, good service and skins\nto the company, But conditions\nwere changing. Also the Crees were\npicking up pointers from Free Traders and travellers, Paul had been\nout to Edmonton, had tasted liquid\nlightning than can he called across\na polished plank by the music made\nin the clatter of coin. He had\nlearned the magic ol money\u00E2\u0080\u0094scraps\nof painted paper hits of silver that\nhad the purchasing power o! many\nskins. It made Paul restless.\nNow, of a truth, It is the easiest\nthing on earth to convince a man\nHint lie is getting the .worst of it, is\nbeing bilked ami buncoed, and that\nhe is, and of a right ought to be\n\"agin the government.\" Therefore,\nit was easy for the eloquent free\nto interest the Indians in their own\naffairs.\nWhen he had them well in hand,\n;he waited upon the Factor. Paul\nwas a born spell-hinder, and he knew\ntlie value of being backed by ft goodly company of his fellows in full\nsympathy.\nAn educated hallbreed, who was\npresent on that occasion, says Prince\nPaul amazed his bearers, tho old\nScutch Factor and himself. Ill language that (lowed lull and strong\nlike the Peace river, he told the\nstory of the Redman, his devotion\nto duly,, his loyalty to the company, in great oratorical flights\nand bursts of eloquence he roared\nlike the sault of the Peace, he entranced the trailers anil amazed the\nIndians as he portrayed the tragedy\nof winter, of the long hunt for food\nwhen the Post was starving, ol the\ngrowing scarcity of furs, and the\never-increasing difficulty attending\nthe trapping of the various members\nol the furry family.\nWhen be bad them going he shut\noil' suddenly, lowered his voice took\na side trail and followed up a deep\nsignificant ravine to the Post of a\n\"Free Trader.\" His hushed, auditors\nleaned forward to catch and weigh\neach sentence, each word. For half\nun hour the eloquent Crcc followed\nthis side trail, which they all knew\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 would end at the doot ot the Free\nTrader ol the French Company. II\nlie fancied his brothers were losing\ninterest he would swing, half facing\nthem, and call al teul ion to the scars\nupon their foreheads, of a truth\nmade by the browbunil, hut attributed by the impassioned Prince to\ntheir crown of thorns. And their\nbent backs\u00E2\u0080\u0094you know what did\nthat, he would say to the Factor.\nIt was carrying the Company's\ncross.\nAnother quarter ol an hour was\ngiven to a recapitulation bringing\nhim back to the point which could\nhave been reached and covered by a\nYankee in three wordni, viz.: \"There\n:are others.\"'\nAnother pause, and then with perfect French politeness lie unrolled\nhis ultimatum which 'had been writ.\nten out in full by an interpreter, and\nwhich is treasured by the old facl0r\nas a relic of tlie company's first\nstrike. The following was For-\n.chctt's schedule:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nOld price. New price.\nSkins Skins.\nBest Heaver.... 30 80\nOtter '.., 12 20\nLynx 0 12\nFox .. Bl) 200\nThe reader should have in mind\nthat whilo an article to us is worth\nmany dollars, to the Indian it is so\nmany skins, anil that a skin always\nmeans 50 cents in Canadian money.\nThat is the Indian's dollar- a skin\nor fiO cents. .-\nVery well, said the old Factor after a moment's reflection, aod the\neloquent Cree nodded, which was Indian for bow, and led his band\naway.\nThe hunting was good that winter,\nanil Paul, while not hunting himself, was busy figuring with shells\nand shining pobblcs, the results of\nthe harvest when the catch should\nreach the post. To he sure the Indians had to have tea and tobacco,\nguns and knives and as there were\nno other shops in the wilderness,\nwere almost obliged to buy them at\nthe Bay store.\nOne line May morning the Factor's\nbureau ' grew dark 'with Indians.\nBravely in the fore stood Forcbett,\nthe Eugene Debs of the North, backed by his brotherhood ol brownies.\n\"What now Prince Paul,\" asked\nthe Factor innocently.\n'-'My people,\" said Paul, \"coin-\nplain that you have raised the price\nof goods. My brother tells me\nyou took twelve skins for these\ntweed trousers, for which my father\nused to pay eight skins.\n\"And did your brother forget to\ntell you that I allowed him 80 skins\nfor a line bear, lor which your lather would have hail thirty.\"\n\"My uncle says dress goods have\ngone up from 4 to (i skins.\"\n\"And silver grey lox,\" said the\nfactor, \"has gone from Oil to 200\nskins in a single season.\"\nPaul paused. Then he went on.\n\"My people contend that you have\nno right to change the price of tobacco that never changes.\"\nMSay to your people as you s.iM\nto me when last year's leaves' were\ndying, 'these are their goods, not\nours.' They have a right to say\nwhat price shall be the price Voi-\nlia! \"\nSuddenly the whole band set up a\ngreat shout, and began filing out the\nol the post, laughing, jesticulating\nand saying over anil over again,\n\"Bien, bicn. Paul is one big fool\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe factor has made of him fun\u00E2\u0080\u0094 O,\nliien.\"\nAnd that was the Indian's idea of\na joke.\nTORT BLUNDER.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 & BATH ROOMS.\nbetween the\nThe ESPLANADE,\nGrand and Abbottsford,\nWilliam Powers,\nProp.\nW.
