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.

He'at once informed.Constable Gook, who went after him and overtook him. „ ., Raniera made no effort --to, escape ' by flight, he/; probably thinking that such a course-would immediately spot him as the man wanted. - Constable Good inquired the man's name, , and was given a fictitious Italian name. . Raniera volunteered the further information that he, was a carpenter * by trade and was looking for .work. He also,, inquired of the constable if he 'could give him a job. J The constable assured the man that he had a job that would just suit him, -and.-so the pair started off and'*the copper was not slow in heading his man to the. garrison,' where he was made secure. ' . When leaving Fernie Raniera had nothing with him in the way of provls- —ions>-but_when_caugh'Lat7ElkQ.^e_ha_cL supplies' that would stand him.for a week or more". : Where he got these is the question that puzzles many of the authorities. It is apparent that he-'must havebeen-alded by his pals but "'just when or how Is the mystery. ', When ho was brought back to the Fernie jail he was searched and on his person was found some' considerable sum .of money. Ranoira was brought up for preliminary hearing before Magistrate Whimster on Friday. Evidence was submitted which'his worship, considered to be strong enough lo warrant sending him up for trial al the assizes.

Fortunatey little damage was done in or around Fernie, although at one time it was feared that a continuance of. the high water would mean considerable loss to many. .'"■■. .West Fernie is. essentially a section of the city where the houses.are owned to a great extent by the men who live in them, not.only the employees of the big Elk (Lumber company, but a number of miners ha\*e;purchasod lots and—built— for— themselves—comfortable, homes in that part. ,' Both of these classes are steady working people, at good wages. The ground In West Fernie is also wonderfully productive. The result Is that there.are-a -largo number of homes, well built and surrounded by splendid gardens. Tho city council should take steps to follow up the Improvement work now being done by the residents, and see to it that roads nnd walks are' built, as soon as possible, .,No doubt with a better approach from the city, West Fernie would soon become more popular than ever us a residential section. .All along the M. F, & M. road from Fernie to Coal Creek, the valloy below shows Btgns. of recent, high water. Miners say that one of the most, rapid decreases in high water was mado this year in Coal Creok, lho wator falling one day between morning ond noon almost n foot, Ono of tho foot bridges al. Goal Creek was washed completely away by the flood and is causing some little ipconvonloneo to residents of thnt vll* logo. Reports from sovornl points In this section of tho province, on tho Elk and other streams all mention the high water following llio hot weather of last wook. Sovornl drowning nccldontii woro recorded, the majority of them being lumbor men. .. Through the courtesy of General- Manager Hurd, a couple of Ledger worthies were allowed to inspect No. 2 mine at Coal Creek on Monday In connection with "Progressive Fernie." Accompanied by Mr. Thos. Z. X. Biggs, and manned with an ultimatum to Manager Heathcote at Coal Creek, we first visited the M. F. and M, office and found Superintendent Black seated at-his rosewood desk. The chief despatcher soon'had a special on hand, and we were designated to the place bf honor ln the hurricane "deck of caboose, from which point we were able to inhale air that would be cheap at $1 a breath (also a few cinders'.) Arriving at Coal Creek it was evident that, the news of our approach had not preceded us, for things were, going on very much as usual. However" we gave Bill Evans the high sign, and as he is mayor of Coal' Creek, we were &£ once established as citizens in good standing. We found Mr. Heathcote in his private office, which at that time was between a couple of cars on the-track.- He did not seem to be at all alarmed when he found out who we were, and told Corporal Thomas to take us down and get some duds on and some lamps and come up to No. 2. We gained admission to the sanctorum of the big. men of the Coal Co. and after \ye had fitted ourselves out with .regulation smock and jeans, we proceeded to the lamp house, where our uniforms had the desired effect. -Vv'e-were~handed'*a—lamp-eacliT^and then began to feel quit like full fledged miners. On arriving at the top of the tipple at the mouth of No. 2, we met ..-Jack, Wilde, *. the popular. check- weighman at Coal'Creek..'" He looked quite like the governor general, but was ever on the look out for.cars to 'see that the men got credit for their work. A few minutes later Pit Boss Wm. Lancaster came out. of the centre of the earth and Informed us that .he would unfold the mysteries of a coal mine. We were requested to turn out pockets out to his nibs; however it wasn't any Black hand game nnd we woro relieved of 11 few matches, and after Big Chlof Lancnstor waded th rough seven or eight courses of lunch in his cnsilo nonr tho entrance tho order was given to proceed to proceed. Our lamps wore ngnln grubbed, nnd Big Chief mndo n move ns though ho wns going lo blow thom out, hut. guofls thoy looked good lo lilm, for wo got them back and the line formed up headed by the pit boss, tho centre ably supported by the fully uniformed newsies and Corporal Biggs bringing up the rear. All went well tor fifty yards or so, when one worthy ■ took about a quart out of his head on the roof of the mine. Mines were sure made for short men—or short, men for mines. ■ Dark—say on the Q.T. it had "the doings of the Black Hand pluggers beat forty ways. However, the farther on we went the farther we were from home, and for the time being we were safe from pursuit by our creditors. .* Thomas.behind and, the Chief ahead were busy telling us all the time about brattice, pillars, timbers, cross cuts, slopes, inclines, main 'entry, but much was-rlost on us making futile efforts to keep up and dodge horses, harmless In the - extreme and looking about as much out of place as some residents of Fernie would look in Heaven. Finally we heard the sound of the pick and knew that active operations were-not far off, although we were prepared to make a "Happy- david" that we had gone about seven miles—real distance not half a mile. Turning a corner sharply we knocked at the door of Messrs. Cole and Dickenson's private apartments, where both Bills were earnestly engaged in knocking old Harry out of the centre of the earth. Guess they saw green all right, for they weren't at all backward in illustrating in a practical way that.they thought,we would make good miners—that is we were requested to proceed to proceed—of course with pick and shovel.' We wallopped. a ■fewTcenTs~wonh~of~cMl~"froni^lne- wall in front of..us, threw a bit,into a car, and quit, quite willing that the same two Bills—Bill Cole and ■ Bill Dickenson should go .fa It. (Shortly, af- ter'we called on.Albert Cartlidge and Harry Cairns. The roof of . their house was leaking—or In other words there wasn't auy roof. The, coal kept falling down from above, making straight timbering difficult (that sounds quite professional.) We'were Informed that there wns enough gas above thoso timbers to blow us to Fornio if we headed that way. To prove this one of the lamps was held nbovo tlio timbers and It showed strong symptoms of going out—so did wo nnd wo wont. Then we headed for tho "Deeps." They nro called thai, because) that's whnt. ihey aro.

In outdoor accident men escaping at the time have a show for their lives—but in a mine—spared perhaps at the exact moment of the Impact, only to run into the most deadly gases and with no lights, for the safety lamps go out in the presence of after damp. That some men1 do make their way through Inky darkness and deadly gases to channels of fresh air seems impossible. Passing along, we came to where Harry Fox. and C, Edgar were knocking their bread and butter out of the mine. Harry was going tb wallop the editor, on general principles', but we know Harry better now than before and appreciate his grievance. However.we parted- with Harry and his pal on the best of terms. Wherever Bill Carroll is you may be sure Jack Kent is not far off. They are connected by an in- • separable and invisible cord that only stretches about 50 feet. One .was busy in a place that looked like a rat hole, but was called a crosscut and refused to come out, evidently preferring to stay with his dollars and cents job than to hob-nob with nobility. About this time some strange power inside told us that we hail been long enough away from daylight and grub, and so a start was made for daylight'!' How they find their way out I'll pass up. But we followed the big head light and now and again stopped at the side to let a load by. The greater part of the trip we walked in a very penitent attitude with head at about 45 degrees, for it's 'better to walk thus than get a story taken off your skypiece. _Fln: "ally-*-\v'e~saw-in~the"di5tance—,vhat-_rapi peared to be the most brilliant illumination—but found out shortly It was only daylight. Say-it sure looked good too. The next place.was the tipple iind; a wonderful thing it 1s too, - the cars coming from all over, being weighed, dumped, screened, the coal loaded by an Intricate mass of ponderous machinery, the whole thing moving nnd acting with clock like precision. .We then proceeded to the wash house nnd happened to get a squint at our mugs and—oh! what a change!

J UN Is 12 19(511 , i ' OUR SOCIALIST PAGE Conducted under the direction of "Proletarian" . : : . 1 "J. . ■"*" T Address all matter for this page to "Proletarian" District Ledger ROOSEVELT AND MORALITY The "Big Noise" of the United* States —at present engaged in the delectable pastime of animal slaughter, in Africa has seen fit to fulfil his promise and lay the spook of Socialism. Incidental to his performing a necessary service on bobalf of a long suffering and nerve wrecked public, who have conjured up- night marches of long haired revolutionists bent on inaugurating seven holidays a week, with accompanying free entertainments in ' which thc curmngnole shall be conspicuous, .he will not feel hisdignily lowered by accepting, ?2 per word for his verbal gymnastics. Evidently it pays to be a president. The Socialists expecting big things from The .Man Who Alone and Entirely by Himself bust, up tho trusts, awaited,the onslaught with feat* and tremblings, but the expected hurricane developed as much force as a boy blowing bubbles.' 3 There is one statement, however, worth while considering, it reads as follows: "Thorough going Socialists occupy in relation to all morality, and especially domestic morality, a position so revolting—and I choose my words carefully—that it is difficult to discuss it in a reputable paper." This slanderous statement is worthy of its author, it is in complete harmony with the ethics of the hero (?) who charged the enemy of his country at San Juan—by proxy, and boasts of having shot°a fleeing Spaniard in the back. We might in passing recall the no- „ lorious stand taken by this erstwhile leading citizen of the United States, when the fate of Haywood, Mo3*er and -Pettiboiie hung in the balance, when ■ • he-in no uncertain voice endeavored to influence public opinion that these men might'be done to death. The infamous "Alton deal" ' made possible when Roosevelt was gover- __nor of _New York is now become his- cliatt.el slavery would sometime disappear. He was considered visionary just as are the Socialists, who now say that the present capitalist system will pass away. Under the wages system the toiler is never given the full product'of his toll. What ho does receive represents the amount of his product he can buy back. What is left is called "overproduction" and results in a shutting down of industry and seeking foreign markets. It illustrates the inadeqiiacy of capitalism. You are not really a capitalist unless you have an annual income from your property in excess of $3,000. If you are making less than that from it your interest lies with Socialism, for that fs the average production .of the toiler under present favorable conditions, and would bo your Income under Socialism. Don't let the real capitalist use you against your interest. WAR IN PEACE torical. " ■ , But although the Socialists, according to Roosevelt, are "Atheists," "Free Lovers" an'Q "Moral* Degenerates," he evidently is not averse lo co-operate - with them, ancl in his next article he tries to show, "whore we can work" with these 'aforementioned degenerates. This change of front, implies that the contention of the Socialists as to, social conditions Is'correct. Now when any person comes for- wurd and claims lo be a champion against vice It is wise, lo ask for his credentials, and n brief review of Roosevelt's past puts his claim as a judge of morality out of court..

(By Alfred Tennyson) Why do they prate the blessings of peace? We have made them a curse— , Pickpockets, each hand lusting for all that is not its own; And lust of gaiiv in the spirit of Cain, is it better ov worse" Than the heart, of the citizen hissing in war on his own hearthstone? But these are the days of advance, tlie works of ihe men of mind, When who but a fool , would .have faith in a tradesman's ware or his word? Js it peace or war? Civil war, as I think, and that of a kind The viler, as underhand, not openly bearing the sword. Peace sitting under her olive and slurring the days gone by, Wiren_ih"e_pooraie-hovell'd-aiid-hu8tled- together, oach sex, like swine, When only tho ledger lives and only not all men lie; Peace in her vineyard—yes!—but a ■■ company forges the wine. a it And the vltr'ol madness flushes up In ,the riffian's head, Till the filthy by-law rings lo tlie yell of the trampled wife, And chalk and alum and plaster aro sold to the poor for bread. And tho spirit of murder work in the very means of life. And Sleep must He down armed, ior tlio'vlllanous centerblts Grind on the wakeful ear In tlio* hush of the moonless nighth, While nnotlior is chonling the lick of a fow last gasps ns ho, sirs, To postol n polnso'd poison behind his crimson lights, Whon a Maninionlto mothor kill'* her bubo for a burial fee, And Tlniour*Mnmn*nn k**Iiis on n pile of chlldron's ''ones-- Ib It pence or war?

He will do all,in his power to work for the Interest of the express people. But suppose that the express businoss, as well as the postal business, were in the hand of the nation, would there be any incentive for the man to work against the people. It can bo seen that thc more you bring the industries under the control of the people by social ownership of such industries,'and the social control of course—tho possibilities of bribery and corruption become less and gradually disappear. When all industries will be socialized there will be no corruption and bribery, as the people will hardy bribe themseves. It—.will not pay them to sell out. It does now. Ancl even now when one of the corrupt men is found with the "goods'" what a wave of public sentiment * is created against him. This speaks well for the future. It sliows a prophecy of the future. Of what the people will do '.when they are in possession of the government and its industries, when every man and -every woman- will be materially concerned in the'public property and stealing from the public will mean stealing from each individual member of the public. When this spirit is displayed under .a coi'i'iiptrrj and de=*i-*ided sysiem of commercialism what greater spirit will be displayed under Socialism? I pity the man who will be caught grafting then, don't, you? " Society will surely deal with such a man as every'man deals now with (he thief who steals from his individual home: Then what does the argument amount to? ■ The argument that we must change human nature before we can have Socialism? Is not the shoo on tho other ■foot? Remove-tho-corrupttng-influ- ences of today, the dread of poverty and misery, which haunts every one of us, and human nature will be given the first chance to blossom oiit into ' its fullness and In Its brightest aspect. Aboish capitalism, which places a premium on "graft," and crime, and give us a decent system of life under which it will pay men to be good men and women and to serve the public honestly. The people steal now because it pays nnd besides, it's renl fashionable—that' is so long as you cnn do it.and keep out of Jnll. Under Socialism it will not pay to steal—besides, peoplo don't want to ntou! what is their own socially. Capitalism Is (ho real grafter. If you want honesty, Introduce socialism. II will bo easier then to make n living honestly by labor In the fow necessary hours than it Ih to steal a living now under cnpitalism. Which wny Is the bost wny? Which do you choose? country; and when the working'men wiU noi join the army; when the working men will not mine the coal or make the ammunition, or operate the trains—then* there will be an end of war.

THOSE BY-LAWS ^^--gsgjg*'***-*--^ <UWIIOJ (ffilLABEL> THE OPEN SHOP Tlie members ot* the Conciliation board are now considering their report at Maeleod after going over all the conditions and taking as much evidence as they believed to be necessary. Though the operators, evidently for the purpose of demonstration, are making some request for additional consideration, yet it is generally understood that the question at is.sue is thc open and closed or union shop. 1 As this isa matter of importance effecting not only the miners in question, but it is a delcaralion upon a principle of unionism', the Albertan has already expressed an opinion upon this dispute, and believes that there is but one way of looking upon the question. Thc mere fact that the Lemieux act is in existence is a recognition of unionism. And unionism is made possible by the union shop. The union shop is the principle of every union. The typographical union has the closed shop, and every other union has ,in practice or principle the union shop. -Most of,-them .have this.in practice. And it is*not unreasonable. The union supplies the labor and places its guarantee of efficiency upon it. The employer pays for the labor. The union cannot guarantee the labor or place its sanction upon the product unless it is certain that the labor is efficient. ' ~ There is some lofty argument about the rights ofthe individual and the privileges of a man to work without joining something to which he has conscientious objections. * That is not worthy of very much consideration. . The'union has no real standard save that of efficiency. ; It is no closed ^mrpof'ation"T Any persoh7wlicnraTT^™^iris"ef- ficiency can get admission to the union. It is no mysterious guild and no person who is not entirely- misguided can have any objection to joining a union on account of any of the mysterious rites. The man who has conscientious scruples has never.been known to decline*to share the benefits gained for him by the efforts of the union, ' No agreement can be satisfactory to the operators, the men or the public, which does not give some gunrantec of permanency.

The man; advantages'are too appare*nt to need enumeration The other by-law, for a park site, can b<* viewc<| from several viewpoints, briefly as follows • .1. As land values stand in and around Fernie! it appears to be an Al investment, for propert; is sure to increase in value to a greater degree tha the cost of the improvements. ■ 2. Fernie needs a park. This eity has read ed the stage when a big public play ground is real live need, .The advantages are apparent AVith the completion of a park, and a good fasj track, we would be assured of good race meets an athletic events, and in this way we would be abl to hold,our holiday crowds, and to bring other here. . ■ ■' * 3. The section'intended to be cleared out. fo park purposes has been a most'prolific source o: fires, and the great fire of August 1 last came ■ ii: through this way. The clearing out of all thi, timber, and thus leaving a wide open space her would act as an effective barrier to the progress o any other fires. ' Many other ideas will doubtless suggest themselves to any one taking the time to think it over. It's a safe, sound, investment, and the expenditure called for each year will not. be-heavy.

Her Ignorance or carelessness of etiquette betrayed Itself. Sho darted at the pret-, ty boy, caught him in her arms nnd kissed him, answering, "That's my luck —my red star." The boy touched tho mark with ills linger, A look of childish nwo came Into his blue eyes. "Your luck!" ho said softly nnd continued to look nt the mysterious sign after Sophy had set him down ngnln. The littlo scene was told nil ovor Slav* na'beforo night, nnd men and women talked, according to their temper, of tbo nature nnd tho meaning of tho red star.

She ri-membered the presentiment under whose Influence she had begged Sophy not to come to Kravonia. But, fate had weighted the scales heavily against her. The Baroness Dobrava was here. Asiruultaneous exclamation of many voices broke across their talk, At the other end of the - room meu aud women pressed Into a circle round some point of interest • which could not be seen by Sophy iind her companions.' A loud voice rang out iu authoritative tones: "Stand back: Stand back and open all the windows!" "That's Natcbeff's voice," said tbe prince. • Natcheff was tbe leading physician of Slavna. "Somebody's faluted, 1 suppose. Well, the place is stuffy enough!" . Markart emerged from the circle, which' had widened out In obedience to the physician's orders. As he hurried past the prince be said: "The king has fainted, sir. I'm*,going to fetch Lepage." Two or three other'men van to open the windows. ■ "The king fainted! I never knew him to do that, before'.'.' He hastened to where his father lny, the subject of Natcheff's ministrations. Sophy aud Marie followed lu his wake through the opening which the onlookers made for him. The king showed ■signs of recovering, but Natcheff's face was grave beyond even tbe requirements of his profession or of his patient's rank. The next moment Lepage came up. This man, the king's body servant, was a small, plump persi)*.- who bad generally a weary, linpas.-' uninterested manner. He looked er uninterested even now, but his was very quick, and be was sooirtt ' Natcheff with deft and nimble lingers. - "This is strange. Lepage," said Natcheff. - " Lepage did not look, up_f rom Jiis task. that the king merely needed rest and change. After a few days of the for; mer it was --yoposed to seek the latter by moving the court to his majesty's country seat at Dobrava—that estate from which Sophy had been graciously bidden to choose her title. Meanwhile there was no reason why -the prince should not carry out his intention and proceed to the castle of Praslok.. Below ^Slavua tbe main postroad—as has already been stated, there was no railway at this tinte—follows the course of the river Kratb for about five miles lu a southeasterly direction. -It is then carried across tbe stream, which continues to trend- to the south, by an ancient, wooden .bridge and runs northeast for another fifteen miles through flat country and past prosperous agricultural and pastoral villages till lt reaches the marshy land bordering Lake Taltt. The lake, extending from this point to tbe spurs of the mountain range which forms the froutler, bars its farther direct progress, and it divides into two branches. The right prong of the fork continues on the level till It reaches Dobrava. eight miles from the point of bisection. Here it Inclines to the northeast again and, after some ten miles of steady ascent, crosses the mountains by St Peter's pass; the one carriage road over the range and over the frontier. The left prong becomes, a steep ascent directly the bisection has occurred, rising sharply for five miles to the hill on which the castle of Praslok stands! Then It runs for another five miles oh a high plateau till it ends tit the hill city of Volscul, which stands on the edge of the plateau, looking down on Lake Taltl and across to Dobrava. ln tho plain opposite, Beyond Volsenl there Is uo road In the proper sense, but only cart or bridle tracks. Of these the principal and most.frcquentpd runs diagonally across the valley in which Lake Taltl lies, is interrupted by tlie lake, at tbat point about a mile and n half wide, and then meets the road from Dobrava halfway up St. Peter's pass and about twenty miles across country from Volsenl. It thus forms the base of a rough und irregular triangle t of country, with the point; where the Slavna road bisects, thc pass and Volseui marking Its three angles. Lake falti is set in the middle, backed^by a chain of hills continuous everywhere ., except- at the. indentation of the pass] ' . ' ., Though so near, to Slavna in '* actual distance, tbe country ~Is very different from the ' fertile fiver valley which surrounds the capital.

The organization should devote itself to,the ' furtherance and the carrying out of the Jegal naval program. In addition, to a powerful army we need a fleet in' order to assure peace."

He said he hoped that war would never happen but that Germany, after recent occurrences was obliged to bear in mind the possibility of such a contingency. Admiral Weber rejected the idea of an agreement, with Great Drltain in the matter of naval construction.
