"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 .

Five\nyears ago the Slocan hotel was burned\nto the ground, and it was the first and\nlast fire of any importance that visited\nthe town until last Sunday morning,\nwhen the dwelling occupied by J. K.\nClark and the home of Recorder Mc-\nInnis, adjoining, were completely destroyed. The fire started in the Clark\ndwelling, and had gained great headway when discovered. Mrs. Clatk was\nawakened about 2 o'clock by the smoke\nand, upon going down stairs, found the\nkitchen in flames She wakened the\nhousehold, but they barely had time to\nescape with the clothing nearest to hand.\nNot a piece of furniture was saved;The\nfire ignited the Mclnnes home and it\nquickly burned to the ground. Help\nwas quickly on the scene and much of\nthe furniture in the latter house was\nsafely taken out. The heat was intense\nand it was with great difficulty that the\nbuildings close by were saved.\nTho loss will be in the neighborhood\nof $4,000. Mr. Clark had recently\nmoved into the residence where the fire\nstarted. It was owned by ^Herman\nWolf, of Montreal, and was insured for\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2500, There was no insurance on Mr.\nClark's furniture. It was valued at\nupwards of $1,200.

Most of these pupils are too\nfar advanced to depend entirely on\nwhat information they may pick up\nduring school hours. Their parents\nshould see that they study their work\nat home'if they expect them to be successful. Their work can be easily detected by examining their monthly reports. Tho pupils should, and most of\nthem do, obtain almost a full mark in\ndeportment, reading, dictation, geography, Canadian history, English his-\ntory and physiology, while In grammar,\ncomposition, arithmetic and book-keep*\ning a full mark is not to be expected.\nIn the fifth and third classes the competition is keen, while iu the fourth\nclass there is no competition at all, one\npupil studies his work and obtains\nnearly 100 per cent, more than any of\nthe others in his class each month. The\nhighest mark obtained In tho fifth class\nfor April was 759, while another pupil\nhad 701. Tho highest mark obtained\nIn the third class was 405, another following with 490. Whereas In tho fourth\nclass the highest mark obtained was\n508, the next highest 888, a difference of\n2U0,and this is what occurs each month,\nTho following U the standing obtained for April.\nHKNIOII ijivihiox.\n5th CIM.H.--A I.

ThiB ore body has\nbeen encountered in the lower tunnel,\nat a depth of 400 feet, and with every\nfoot driven ahead the ore widens.\nThe Hartney management is doing\nall that money and talent can do to\nmake a mine out of their property.

There is a mile of road yet to be\nbuilt by the Government and when this\nis done the company will have its connecting ; road completed, when shipments can their be made on a large\nscale. Everything is being done to induce the Government to complete the\nroad at an early date, and the management is; hopeful of succeeding. The\nlast payment on the property falls due\nin July, by which time it is hoped that\nthe road will be open direct to the mine\nthat heavv shipments wlli be possible.\nFAKE STOCK COMPANIES.\nSLOCAN ORB SHIPMENTS.\nThe total amount of ore shipped from\nthe Slocan and Slocan,City mining\ndivisions for the year 1900 was, approximately, 85,000 tons, Since January, 1\nto May 4. 1901, the shipments have\nbeen as follows:\nWeek\nPayne ...,.,,.,\t\nLast Chance., , JO\nSlocan Star\t\nRuth\t\nBosun SO\nHewett.....\t\nAmerican Boy 48\nIvanhoe 40\nTrade Dollar\t\nSovereign\t\nWonderful\t\nArlington\t\nTwo Friends,....,\t\nKnUrprlss 20\nHartney. so\nBlack Prince\t\naoodenough\t\nMiller Creek.\nReco.\nSunset (Jackson Basin)\t\nSuiiseUOan.aoldPlelds..,,\nSliver Kins*\t\nRod Fox\t\nAntolne\nQueen Bess.\nnnltor.,\nCorinth\t\nBondholder.\nRambler.\n65\nSO\n70\nsurprise\t\nKaslo Group\t\nChapleau..;.\t\nspeculator\t\nAJax\t\nHoho\t\nKuilly Edith\t\nPhoenix\t\nOTftk'\t\nV.\u00C2\u00BB *1\"dsh what has\ntho license 'cnnmls*'*\"*'t,rt,mrt \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Kher th*n the priei* in any proiniwd io become one ol Canada'*\n) other i-oun'ry.

Wine\nand oil flowed freely, although\nwithin its gates the blue mud clung\nto the inhabitant's like unto the\naffection of the Grim Reaper for a\nfat Coon. Many fortunes have\nbeen made in this camp. The one\nattached to J. TEL Fairbank is probably the largest. He is a born\nfinancier, and gave me my first\nlesson in finance when I tried to\ntap his bank in '79. J. H. has a\nresidence good enough for a Slocan\nmillionaire. It looks lonesome\namid the forest of derricks, and\nperched upon the high bank of\nBear creek, a stream that is consumptive and has a complexion\nspotted with tar. John should\n~have\"bnilfritnn-xvew\"Denver*where\nall is beautiful, except the times.\nI met Tip Corey and rehearsed a\nfew lines of the disty past anent\nthe days when we trod the planks\nin the old Oil Exchange Hall, and\ndelighted the natives with the rendition of the drama. Those were\nhappy days, especially in the last\nacta which were usually played\nwith Charley Errington in his star\nact of pitching high balls. Tip can\nget plenty of money at the bank\nnow by simply writing hiR name at\nthe bottom of a cheque set in figures,\nbut it has not swelled him any. In\nfact his clothes are not as large as\nonce they were, and Tip is not\nlikely to live more than 40 years.\nTime has marked so many people\naround Petrolea so strongly that in\nmany cases I could not recognize\nthe friends of my Sunday school\ndays. This does not apply to Billy\nCovert. Bill looks about the same\nas he did when he hung up his blue\ncoat after the American war failed\nby Lee making an assignment to\nGrant. Bill was in Chicago a short\ntime ago attending a re-union of\nhis old regiment. As he entered\nthe room where the old boyn of the\n20th Illinois were assembled they\nall jumped to their feet and exclaimed, \"Why, it's Little Bill!\"\nThey all knew him, but they were\nso badly marked by time that he\ncould hardly recognize any of the\nold comrades who had helped him\npump lead into the gray line at\nHhiloh and other hot spote.\nI left Petrolea with the usual re-\nI\nand returned to my side and howled for a match. I illuminated,and\nthen he told me the hardest luck\nstory of the season. \"Young man,\n(most everybody took me for 30\nyears in the east), I have just got\nout of tbe hospital. I worked 33\nyears for the Union Pacific, and\nwhile conductor of a train in 1898\nit went through a bridge killing 47\npassengers and breaking 18 bones\nin my body. One of my eyes was\ntorn and my jaw shattered (now\nwell). I laid 21 months without\nmoving, and in 36 months was discharged. The company gave me\n$80,000,besides a pension of $3,000\na year and a salary of $147 a month\nas long as I am unfit to work.\" I\nassured the man 'from Cheyenne\nthat he had indeed been up against\nhard rock, but wondered why he\ndid not buy his tobacco from the\nnewsy. On the same train were a\nband Of show people. Most of the\ntheatrical profession are a lot of\ndubs and sticks with knife-blade\nhearts and purses that seldom carry\na trace of anything richer than a\nbon-bon.

In\nV OVARII IC various parts of\nCanada, where smallpox prevails,\n{>oople are compelled by the author-\nties to take the pus of cow-pox\ninto their systems whether they\ndesire it or not. Such a law is an\noutrage upon the liberties of man,\nand should tie thrown into the\n\"hell-box\" of exploded fads, and\nbygone superstitions. A law compelling people to be clean is wanted\nand not one that will shorten life\nby inoculating the human frame\nwith filth taken from the scabs on\na bovine's belly. The whole thing\nis a delusion, and it is high time\nthat compulsory vaccination was\ndone away with. In support of\nthis article we quote what some\nfearless doctors have said about it:\nDr. Kpps, who for 2*5 years was\ndirector of the Jenner Institute,\nsays: \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Vaccine vims is a poison.\nAs such it penetrates all organic\nHysteius. It is neither antidote nor\ncorriffent, nor does it neutralise the\nsmallpox, but only paralyzes the\ngood com.ti-1\nback upon the mucous mem brant*, i\nNobody has the right to transplant\nsuch a mischievous poison into the}\nlife of a child.\" I\nl>r. .Met Wilder, an eminent]\nscholar and professor of physiology!\nin the United States Medical College of New York: \"Vaccination j\nis the infusion of a contaminating\nelement into the system, and after\nsuch contamination you can never\nhope to regain the farmer purity of\nbody; thus tainted, the body k\nmade liable to a host of ailments.\neffect follows cause. A vaccinated\npeople will always be a sickly,\nshort-lived and degenerate people.\"\nDr. Winterburn, of New York,\nsays he \"found the densest ignorance of facts relating to vaccination\nprevalent. Vital statistics,gathered\nfrom every quarter of the globe, establishes the fact, that smallpox,\nlike other zymoses (or contagious),\noriginates from unsanitary modes\nof life, and cannot be effectually\nconquered but by removing the\ncause.\" \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 -a\"\nDr. C. W. Amerige, of Springfield, Mass., says: \"Symosis depends upon the impurities within\nthe system, and Jennerism by its\npractices of infusing filth into the\nbody, has done more to promote\ndisease, than all other practices\ncombined. It transmits the most\ndisgusting and malignant disorders.\nLet us inquire into the origin of\nvaccine virus. Jenner denied it-\nwas spontaneous with cows, but\nthat the men who groomed horses\nsuffering with 'grease or glanders'\ncommunicated it to the bo vines\nfrom their filthy hands. This\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2grease7 disease results in a poisonous virus forming at the heels of\nthe horse, and this itcher Jenner\nadvised-using.\u00E2\u0080\u0094- Jenner__vaccinated\nhis own son into the grave. Dr.\nCollins proved by post-mortem examination that 'glanders' is identical with pulmonary consumption\nin the human, hence vaccination\ntransmits it oftentimes. Of all professional dogmas of past or present,\nnone have wrought greater physical\ninjury to the race than the theory\nand practice of vaccination.\"\nOliver W. Holmes, of the medical\nschool of Havard University, said:\n\"If the entire materia medica were\nthrowu into the sea, it would be all\nthe better for humanity\u00E2\u0080\u0094and all\nthe worse for the fishes.\"\nIn an investigation by the British\nparliament, in 1871, regarding vaccination, many eminent physicians\nand citizens testified: \"That vaccination leaves scrofula behind;\nlymph lays the foundation for consumption and infant mortality;\ncauses serious affections of the eyes,\nears, throat and mind; causes ulcerous sores and boils of the most\ndangerous kind; causes cancer, erysipelas and other vile diseases.\"\nNo wonder England has made vaccination optional everywhere, for it\nmade sad havoc amongst tbe soldiers, as well as the community.\nIt should be optional or totally forbidden in tho United States, if we\nvalue good health.\nDr. Alex. Ross, of Toronto.Ont.,\na man of 40 years' experience, is\nopposed to vaccination, because no\nrational theory has been or can be\nadvanced to support the ridiculous\nassumption that vaccination pro*\ntecti from smallpox, and one thing\nis certain, that thousands of children are killed annually by vaccination or its after effects. I know\nthat 1,100 children under 12 years\nof age were vaccinated into smallpox and died from it in 1885 in\nMontreal.\nGKT A TRAVELING LIBRARY.\nThe provincial government,- anxious\nto give the residents anil settlers in out\nof the way places some of the advantages enjoyed by urbanites, has been to\ngreat pnine and considerable expense\nto extend the traveling library system\nfounded some three years ag*o,and there\nare now some 24 libraries of 100 volumes\neach in circulation, from the west coast\nof the Island to 150-Mile House.Cariboo.\nTlie. system was designed to place within tho reach of the residents of farming*\ndistricts and mountain mining- camps a\nsmall but choice library at no\" expense\nto the reader, and it has proved very\nsuccessful. So far but very few farming\ncommunities and mining towns of the\ninterior have taken advantage of the\nopportunity offered by the government\nfor securing a free public library, and\nit is the purpose of this article to call\nthis fact to the attention of our readers,\nand to point out to the residents ofNew\nDenver that they should at once set\nabout procuring one of these libraries,\nconvinced as we are that it would prove\nof great value to the community and a\nsource of pleasure and profit to our\npeople.\n.E. O. S. Scholefield, provincial librarian, Victoria, has charge of the libraries,\nand to whom -ill communications on the\nsubject should be addressed. Twenty-\nfive male residents of any community\nmay, after electing a trustee who will\nbe held responsible for the books to the\namount of $50, make application for a\ncase of books. These cases contain 100\nvolumes by standard authors, and, comprise works on social and natural\nscience, literature, history, biography\nahd fiction. Works on technical subjects of interest to the locality are also\nincluded. Within two or three weeks\nafter application has been made the case\nwill be received by the local librarian,\nwho is chosen by the applicants. The\ncase will be allowed to remain in the\none locality for six months, when direc\ntions will be given for its shipment to\nsome other point, and another case will\nbe received in its place. There is absolutely no charge for the use of the\nbooks, and the C.P.R , ever desirous of\npromoting the welfare and pleasure of\nthe people living in the most remote\nparts of the province, and realizing that\ntransportation charges in some cases\nmight prevent their taking advantage\nof this opportunity of securing a public\nlibrary, carries the cases of books to\nand from all points on its rail and\nsteamboat lines free, aud is affording\nthe government everv facility at its\ndisposal in their efforts towards making\nthe system a success.\nRelative Strength of Metals.\nAn iron wire one-tenth of an inch in\ndiameter will sustain a weight of 705\npounds before breaking.

C, MAY 9, 1901.\nEighth Year\nmm\nI\niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit\nCONTRIBUTE f\nI\niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmii\nNINETEENTH CENTURY CHURCH.\n[Continued from April 85.]\nThirdly, the ISth century church has been fos.\ntaring the spirit of Christ's dlsoiples who petitioned Him to forbid the doing of His work by\nany but themselves. Sectarianism has unhappily pre-railed. Churches have employed the\nsword of the Gospel in feudal conflict, while the\ncommon foe of human greed and selfishness has\ncontinued witb glee its work of destruction.\nThe Christs of the century, or men with mes-\neages, have suffered the 9ame Indignity and cru\ncltixlon as of yore; tbe Huxleys, Spencers, Tyn-\n.lulls, Beechers, Drummonds and Ingersoll, in\ntheir own Individual efforts to elevate man to a\nmore Godlike attitude, have had arraigned\nagainst them all the obloquy, denunciation and\npersecution the church could muster against\nthem, resulting In death to some, while others\nwere driven further into doubt, and instead of\ntheir massages being acoepted with th\" same de\ngrae of reason and common sense necessary to\nall true progress, the stiff eccleslasticaliam of the\nday has with \"bell, book and candle,\" metaphorically excommunicated them nil. In those\ncases where the better Judgment of the people\naooepted the new views of truth, the former opponents claimed the glory and \"when the lions\ndied the repentant asses brayed.\" Art, music,\nscience and education have been, and in a few\nrare cases are, yet denounced as works of the\ndevil, and It la only by the iwtency of education\nn and enlightenment of the people that their at.\ntude is changed.\nThe 19th ceutury ohurch has bean, unmistakably a church century, but it has by no means\nterminated with the halo of glory which it prom,\nlsed when It set out. Hev. Francis Willard In\nhit message to the churches of the 20th century,\naays he anticipates new inventions and discoveries, Improvement In the statement of truth and\nIn methods of work and organization, but a\nbroader brotherhood, less sectarian rivalry and\nno sectarian bitterness.\"\nAnother, aud closing thought, is the want of\nChristian Influence In the political life of the 19th\ncentury. Christianity la essentially citizenship.\nIt may be pleasant to speculate on the condition\nof things in the future life, but It adds little to\nour comfort or assurance to note the brevity ol\nChrist's statements regarding after life. But his\ncommands respecting this life are numerous and\nunmistakable. '\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Godliness Is profitable tor the\nlife that now is'' saemod to be the keynote of Hia\nteaching, from which tbe church has strayed far(\nfaraway.\nTho political atmosphere la putrid with the\n-corruption and vlllany of partylam; greedy corporations, directed by politicians and wirepuller*^\nIlka giant octapusea, and with slimy fingers\n-aiea.lng the public franchises; tithing or gob\nbltng up Industries, easlaviug producers and purchasers, producing multi-millionaires to auch an\n'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0' extent that, as a facetious writer in Life says(\n\"The only way to fight combines in to buy their\nstock.\" The public chest is being robbed, positions of public trust and responsibility are being\nutilized for the buying of votes and aa rewards\nfor party services, not always of the highest or\nmoral character. Public men are slandered,\nabused and sent into obscurity, and sometimes to\nthe grave, by the rillltleattous of political op-\nTO9ntST\u00C2\u00ABr.ii-^ftH<\u00C2\u00BB'raaiism(~Ciyl(!-aad.\u00C2\u00AB!Ut>*.\nJcipalUfe has become &\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 acrimonious through\nInsinuation and calumny and lies that the legislation of our countries and cities Is frequently\ncontrolled by the roorbacks, the whiskey ami\ngambling Tammuny rings, and the Backers and\nplunderers of society.\nTho subsidized press looks serenly on, depend.\nlug for readers upou appeals to passion, Instead\nof appeals to reason, and for support to hush\nmoney and political patronage. When W T.\nStead published his harrowing exposure In hia\nbook, \"If Christ came to Chicago,\" the New\nYork and Chicago press brazenly admitted\nknowledge of tbe condition of things therein\ndescribed for yearn, and yet had not the courage\nto expose them. Tha nation* of Europe and\nA merlca, under a plea of relieving beaelged mis\nalonaries in China, after completing their work,\ndavote their united efforts to butchery, looting\nand watching each other with jealous eyas, for\ntha Inevitable partition of the richest country in\nthe world, so ai to secure for themselves tha\nlargest share In the spoils ot tho empire. And\nwho are responsible for this condition of things?\nThe Christian voter who leaves hia politics*\nthinking for bis party caucus. The Praiby terian\nMethodist, Baptist, Oongregatlonaltst and Ept\u00C2\u00BB<\noopallan elector, or the elector of any other fsllh\nwho finds It too muoh trouble to Interfere, who\nfeart the world'! opinion and who li afraid ot\nbslng half a dollar poorer when his will la pro-\nhated.\nIt IH ours to reason why\nIt u onrs to make reply\nAnd mot onm to do or die.\nJno. Burnt says, \"During tbe la\u00C2\u00BBt sis months\nthay had ohtN-vad that through Ignorant* of tha\npeople IB** evils continued. If men had char-\nattar nonay woold not buy them; If men had\nWains barr would not buy them. Thtre had\npfrowo up lately among*** worldngmen a paatloo\nfor play and amongst tha shopknapen a mania\nfor &.OM**. And thay saw betting and gamb ling\ndivartlaf nan from thHr aortal and political\nuo fear of kings, princes, or even czars, when it\nIs hia duty to speak. His recent writings have\nbeen directed against the church. This institution, in Russia more particularly, perhaps, than\nin the Western World, ha9 fallen as low as the\nJewish church at the Inception of the Christian\nera. It is corrupt to the limit of knavery and.\nIs slowly reducing the peasantry of Russia to the\ncondition of abject slavery. For denouncing tb\u00C2\u00AB\nchurch Count Tolstoi was excommunicated, and\non the heels of this followed his banishment. In\nhis reply to the decree of excommunication Count\nTolstoi characterizes It as Illegal, or Intentionally equivocal, as unjustifiable and full of false\nho-.ds. Moreover he says It constitutes.an instigation to evil sentiments and deeds. He de-'\nnounccs the practices of the church, and 'la/ convinced that the teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is injurious, is a lie In practice and is\na compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery\nunder whioh entirely disappears the sense of\nChristian doctrine.\n' V:' .+' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 A\nColleges are Institutions of learning that are of\ninestimable good. But they are not without evil.\nIt Is safe to say that as many fools are turned\nout of college ai there are men of worth. In answer to this It might be asserted that as many\nfools go Into college as there are men of worth,\nPerhaps so. Certainly a young man who is nn\u00C2\u00BB\nable or unwilling to apply himself before going\ninto a college can have little hope of success\ncither while In the collcne or after leaving It. And\ncollege life is the proper life to make a man a\nfool If he Is not strong enough to withstand 'he\ninnumerable fool notions that make up college\nlife when the student Is off shift. We were given\nan insight Into this life recently when the U- S,\nCongress appointed a commission to enquire into\nthe conditlou of affairs at West Point. It will be\nremembered that one of the Freshmen was killed\nby ''hazing\" at thc hands of the upper class men,\nand tbe commission investigated the cause of\ndeath. Some remarkable facts were brought out,\nand If we were to judge from the testimony ot the\nstudents, the young men act more like woolly\nheaded idiots than an> thing else. Congressman\nSamuel W.McCall, one of the commission, told\nIn the house some things brought but. Telling\nof a young man who was sent to the hospital a\nfew days after being admitted to the academy,\nho said: \"What had happened was that while\nstanding on his head In a tent, which waa the\nrule for tho plebe i whenever an upper class man\nentered, he was kicked In the right eye, possibly\naccidentally, by an upper classman, and he was\nsent to the hospital. He got out In a few days,\nand while attempting to swallow a teaspoonful\nof tabasco sauce, another delicate little pleasantry, he choked, and It want over his handkerchief. Ha was blindfolded with his handkerchief afterwards and that sauce got in htseya.\nThree days after hii recovery from this he Was\na$aln in the hospital, as the report shows, with\n\"stomach trouble.\" This ss what happened to\nhim and brought on stomach trouble. He bad to\neat a great quantity of rice, a couple of boiled\ncabbages, some sixty-three prunes, and was compelled to attempt to do 150 eagles, and went Into\nconvulsions, and a pillow or blanket was place I\nover his face so that his cries could not bo beard.\"\nAs a result of such Idiotic treatment the young\nman was broken down In health aud had to leave\nthe Institution. And this is a college education!\n.+.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'\nThe Montreal Herald thinks there is too much\nof Brother Jonathan in Canada.
