BC Historical Newspapers
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).

MONTHLY REPORT The monthly Harrison circular reads as follows: Since the S. S. Sierra left there have been the following deliveries of coal here from Newcastle, N. S. W., viz., Challenger, 2,120 tons; St. ,7miies, 2,222 tons; Adderley,'1,860 . tori's;' total, 6,202 tons. The engaged list of coal carriers from Newcastle will foot up twenty-two vessels, with a carrying c apacity of'about 62,0|B0 tons; of these there are but five already en route, and it will be several months prior to their arrival here of a number of others; at this time last year there were twenty-six vessels on the coal loading list at Newcastle 'for this port. In April,, 1904, 'there were over 86,000 tons of disengaged tonnage in port, nearly all of ���������which was suitable for the carriage of grain, whereas, at this date wc have but 30,000 tons. In view of the very encouraging outlook for a very large crop of cereals within the next few months, outward freights -from here should show a very marked improvement, such being the case, there should be liberal shipments of coal from Australia to this port. The present asking rates of'freight? on coal from the Colonies quoted at.

Nicholson was^at work on the roof of the, Seattle, Electric Oorp,"any's substation on First Avenue south; when "if.'L.' Fen ton, an employe of the company, who was on the ground, saw a flash like lightning. There was a - dull thud a second later. Fcnton called Capt.

Force All Will be Armed and Equip, ped With the Latest Appliances For Killing JAPANESE RE-ORGANIZING Tokio, April 11.���������Japan is "meeting the Russian plan of re-organization and reinforcement of Manchurian armies with an extensive expedition from its own military organization. The details and figures are carefully concealed of what seems to be a plan to-double.-the present army units. But it is reliably estimated that by autumn the total military organization will exceed a million of men actually employed in the field. The fighting force is roughly estimated at 700,000 ; men with increases largely in the infantry, and artillery, although an enlargement in the cavalry branch is also contemplated. As a result of theNnanufacture at the arsenal in Japan, together with captures and purchases of guns it is predicted that this year will see aJap- anese artillery^ superior to that of JAPANESE OFFICERS HANGED. New York, April 11.��������� A St. Petersburg despatch to the Times says that a telegram from Vladivostock, reports that five Japanese officers, disguised as navies, were caught photographing the defences.

An Ancient She Said to ^iiive Been Unlit by I'hnraoh. The crocodile, one of the most sacred animals of the east, has given its name to several ancient sites. Of the various "cities of crocodiles," the names of which have been handed down to us by Herodotus, Pliny nnd Strabo, perhaps the most striking was the "Crocodllopo- lis" of the undent Egyptian province of Fayuin, which, according to tradition, was built by that phnraoli who "made the lives of the children of Israel' bitter with hard service." This province lies within nn almost complete circle of bills���������a little oasis In the midst of tlie desert, where roses nnd grapes mingle with figs nnd olives and luxuriant palm trees grow almost into forests. ��������� Its capital is Medinet/and a little to the north of the city are a number of irregularly shaped mounds. Beneath these are tbe ruins of the pbaraoh- built "Crocodilopolis." the "City of Crocodiles," later called Arsinoe, and tbe shrine of the'sacred crocodile of the neighboring Lake Moeris, which was then 450 miles in circumference. This lake held .tlie sacred crocodiles, and as each died in turn it-was buried in one of the 1,500 underground sepul- chers of the world famed "Labyrinth" at hand, side by side with the embalmed bodies of successive phnraobs. 200 Fair of Mens' and Boys' Tweed and Worsted Pants, new goods- for np-to������date trade- Ask for them at SIMON LEISER & CO Ltd.

THE NAME AMERICA. ���������When It Was Flrwt Propoaed For th* Noivly Fouml Continent. The name of America for the newly discovered continent was first proposed In the little volume put forth at St. Die, in the Vosges, in the year 1507 by Wahlzcemullei', better known by tbe Hellenizeil form ~of liTs name, Hyla- comyius. Three or four editions of this treatise were published at St. Diebe- fore 150", and a: few years afterward an edition -without date was printed at Lyons by Jean de la Place. All these editions are of extreme rarity, and probably that printed at Lyons is the rarest.of all, though the library of the British museum possesses two copies of it. ft has never been suggested that any maps'were, engraved to accompany either of the editions, but it has always been supposed that the earliest map. with the word "America" marked on the new found world was the "Ty- pus Orbis," engraved ��������� ou wood for the "Enarrationes Joannis Cniheftis in C, Jnlii Solini Polyistorn," printed at Vienna in. 1520 for Joannes Singreniiis. In.this map the now world is represented as a long island, on whicli is the Inscription: "Anno d. 1J07 haec terra cum aeljacentibus insulis inventa est per Coluuibum Ianuensem ex maiidato regis Castelle.
