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).

Hitherto the pipes have not 1 cached Fifth.

Altogether eight thousand feet will b.iuscd, the pupe being' taken along Fifth and Sixth A\cnucs and an the cross streets Wire-bound wood pipe win be ������sed and .providing the weather is fine, Mr. Bland expects to have tho' majority of it laid before Christmas. ��������� II is list two years ago-that water was first supplied by the Company in Ladjsmith and today there arc over 250 ta.ps in the maiins. Along every street with the exception of those mentioned above pipes are laid, the large main which brings the water direct from the reservoir, running., along- Fourth Avenue. Soon after the building of Ladysmith was commenced thc idea' of installing a water supplying system uias rormed and the Company, of which ;\lr. J- Hunter was president commenced prospecting on the mils at li-ie back of Ladysmith for a suitable lake to supply the water. A proper supply ������f mountain water was .'ocaltd and reservoirs now add to the natural supply. Work was promptly done- It was completed and an amount of pipe laid when the strike was commenced and while that lasted work, was not continued but. when work in the mines was resumed the company again started a number of men on the pipe laying, etc., and in the following January water was being supplied to citizens. The distance from lhe lake to Fourth avenue is three, and a half miles. A reducing plant is situated close to. the f.rsl cieek at. the hack or Sixth avenue. mouth ort'Iioslnaifi.

The merchants say, however.- that .'t must be done or their Kootenay, Calgary anil Edmonton' trade is lost to them, and that the growers of fruit and produce iu general from the const sections will suil'er iu consequence. It in pretty safe, however, to predict that th? troubles will not 'be very lasting and that, some plan for equalizing the freight. question will be arrived at. At any rate thc ordinary inlhiduai. the e, (ii'sumer. can very well afford to 1 if ok on the light with complaisance, ' fcr if the railway wins we will will Picture a float ��������� about forty foot long- That would practically be the length of an ordinary slecet car.

Abcut midships tlie form of the hull is shaped like the letter U, and toward the stern the bottom is flattened so thai it rests on the top of the water.

'The halibut is about the only fish which is at the. present, time taken in anything like commercial Quantities in t.'ie wafers of the laeific Coast. The industry is capable of extension in this branch.' and there, are other classes of fish which. will yet become most important to the province. Among them is the herring, which at the present time is attracting a great deal of attention..

Prof. Prince thinks that the cod fisheries of the coast will become very important There are evidences that the true cod cists in some of the. northern waters, although no systematic eflort has been made lo prove the. presence of the fish in commercial quantities. There are also biach cod and line cod in tee British Coiimvhia waters which will prove valuable. Thc mackerel found on Ibis coast is not.

Attached to the vertebrae were eight ribs of enormous size, measuring three or four feet in length, some of them a foot or so in width. ' There has teen no time for further investigation, but three of the fossilized bones have been brought in by the discoverer. They are all broken but can be easily fitted together. As to what por- , tion of the body ot the animal they | are. from is merely conjecture. Judging from appearance, one which is broken into three pieces is probably a section of the tail, it is about ten inches in diameter and four inches long. Through the centre is an opening which possLbly contained tffff spinal cord.
