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.

In■ consequence of the .'length of this report we will give extracts therefrom: "- Following - the • Quebec convention, 1909,' 2,000 copies. ot_ the "Second Report" (immigration)0 were circulated in Britain among labor mem- i ors of parliament, trades union leaders, trades councils, and prominent men ln other "capacities; 500 of* these reports being taken' care of-by the secretary* of .the British' Labor party and'distributed to 500 delegates "present "at their convention .'at- Newport in January., last. - .'-- ; V '"' *■"',; Copies- of* our reportsJ and of the Salvation • Army ' circular - were -' also mailed 'to 'workers' representatives and - officials' hi" the overseas dominions; and some*" interesting statements are to hand by way'--of reply.' -'From our **. correspondence"'there would ' ap-' pear to.bo.no.danger of other dominions being cajoled into accepting the attentions--of 'this bureau in Itheii- ■•.world-wide.-hunt after'profit. • - We would ■ again *• take the opportunity ■ of reminding-the. delegates to this 1910- convention* of-the force of the-remark* 'of the-Salvation-Army agent, two -years . ago • when ■ her, depreciated-. ;>our . -attacks- .upon '.their method's, aiid stated- "that.''we ought to get'after the governments' which render tlieir' operations possible."

In .the former type the water filters through beds of "sand*" and gravel - at "varying "rates of from two to five million7gallons per acre every 24,hours, according^to the character of lhe water. In* mfr chanical filtration, a 4* precipitate.- is first added of filtration being many |imes more than *Jn-Jthe. slow sand' filters. ' '. y •; .''-," .-' „ ■. The type of filter besf^sulted' for any particular water must be carefully considered before adoption by. a municipality, and this' can, only , be done by a competent sanitary • engineer. When either-system' "can*",be used,' it resolves itself into a question of, primary cost and annual maintenance. The slow sand filters.cost, approximately, $300,000 • per,, ..mlilion gallons of the daily consumption and about. 10'per cept. of this,per annum fqr.. operating; -.while a mechanical filter costs, about one-fourth, and, Jf carefully operated, a high degree of efficiency, as regards purification1 can be obtained, This is weli exemplified at- Chatham, Ont., where for some years filters of this latter class have been in operation, the water treated being that of the river Thames. - - TH JS _ NUMBER WILI: BE ~ IDLE .\'.

Watering is Oiie Way. By'Franklin Bache, Fort Smith," Ark. There seems to he a feeling that there has.;been .something mysterious at'-the'bottom of a, number,'of recent colliery' explosions, * however, - it is sate, to .say that no explosion haSj occurred" which could not be explained by-most coal-mining engineers. .The possible - sources of explosions aro from explosives, gas, and coal dust. . Explosives stored in ' quantity' in the mine are almost universally prohibited by law and mine rules, and from this source there' is little danger.. An explosive mixture of gas nnd air, the old enemy of the coal miner, while It, is'always a lurking danger, can bo detppl.ed with the aid of tlio safety .lamp," and with the aid "pf' modern ventilating' fans arid tl\e knowledge of mine ventilation,, firedamp.

"The danger to] the individual miner, "oj-'to srnall numbers working In some section of a mine, is inherent in the work;, and, even with safety lamps and well-directed air-currents, individuals here and there will' be burned. ' The effects bf explosions of small quantities of gas in agitating, and firing coal dust,* and tho effect of gas in less than explosive proportions In the presence of'a blown**out shot in a dusty mine, are matters to lie considered under the head of dust. Coal dust, therefore, alone remains as an indispensable cause of great explosions. For many years this source of danger has'been recognized, par- = ticularly in the "deep mines of Great . Britain; but it.was not until the investigation of tho Pocahontas''explo sion in 1884 that the .subject aroused more than theoretical interest in this country. Very little "has been done here in tbe way - of scientific and • laboratory inquiry into this matter, probably because the investigations ■ on the other side had-been thorough, and there did not-seem to be mu'ch .room left to better them. The dangers, from coal dust are well known, and whnt is neetlefl' is some, gnn'r. method' of' getting' rid of the dust. It is known also that, next to eliminating the 'dust, the best thing is to undercut and wedge down the coal, using no explosive whatever. If this be impracticable, the "next best thing is to undercut the coal and use little explosive.'i"'"'1 .iliflt uttie as nameless' nnd smokeless as it can be.'
