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).

FRICC FIVE CENTS t \ NICOM HERALD SM THINGS ABOUT ASHCROFf JOURNAL SHIPPING NOTES OF THE WATERFRONT \ In its edition of a week ago, the Ashcroft 'Journal, published at Ash- ' cioft, B.C., .announces that there wcic rumors to the effect thai./Rich- aid A. Frusei', pubjjshor of,the Nicola Herald, was to be a Consciva- > tivc candidate for his distnet in JNi- cola. The Journal then goes on to "roast" Mr. Frascr, and insinuates ��������� that it is up to the lattei gentle- > man to deny the rumoi. Mr. Fia- ser is atf present on the Island on business, having passed through I.a- \ dysmith this mornings. Asked if ho intended to enter _the field as a candidate, Mr. Fraser ncithcL denied 'nor admitted the rumor, hut left the interviewer under -, the impression that such is his intention. In the last istaic' of the f Nicola Herald, Mr. Fraser has the following to say ' regarding"- the Journal and;its editor. "The wish is evidently the father to the thought, to the editor of the boiler plate paper known as the Ash- ��������� croft Journal. Else why his almost paternal anxiety on. behalf "of the editor of The Nicola TTerald to deny certain rumois. Is the cditoi of the Journal in confidence of the Conservative party .it.Ashcroft as well as other parts of the distiict, and does he voice theii sentiments, oi is i.l that he has1 an eye to the house ol parliament himself, or^ perhaps he trembles for the safety of the seal of the present membei' Any" oi all of the abo .' conjectures might, be equally true ot the man "who so severely (?)' stiaddles the fence and calls'his boiler plate paper the ,,non party press." l Were the Ashcroft Journal representative \ of aiTy political party,' or could word its ic- quest in a courteous thanner, we might have satisfied his curosity but most ceitainlv decline" to satisfv hun. when he allows his personal bias and spleen to show as it does-in his t articles."
