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).

Cecil, \th<* maiia^Kn of the company now holding the rights, was on his way hack from England and expected to arrive here in a week or two. Would it not he well to lf-ave _ie matter o������������,r until his arrival? Alderman Spence said he w<-s not at all convinced that <a plant could be operated hy the water in Bush Creek, even if the city could buy thc lights.- Last week he was in conversation with dipt.. Mcintosh, of Winnipeg, and-that gentleman had , told him. that in a ManitoJ>a, town, population 2,000, a steam plant was operated successfully. ' Fuel* was higher theii* than heft*, they haying to use wood, for which they pay $2* per cord. Continuing, Aid. Spence said in his opinion >t was on-- ly waste '������ of lime to try and get the Bush Creek rights when it was doubiful if the city gained possession, if it would lie any use. In the speaker's opinion, it .was- obvious that a steam plant would -*ay. If they could make it. lsiy in a town ot two. thousand population surely they could in Ladysmith. His Worship said before presenting a by-law ��������� to the people the members of the council should get all the information possible. They should find out exactly what light would cost during the year, for both private and business houses. If they knew exactly what they .would hav_ to pay Jor light thc people would he lar more likely to favor the borrowing of money. 'Before, deciding not to go any further with the water power proposition the (council should consider the possifcili' of turning McLeod:.s creek into Bush Creek, that of course, if the rights on the latter were obtainable. A great many were of the opinion that the water of the two" creeks would furnish sufficient power both in 9ummer and winter. Alderman XJren favored finding out exactly what the lights would cost the people if a steam power plant- was tnst-alled. He Ihoiin-Jit with His Worship that this should lie the first step for the council to lake and believed that if convinced that the cost or 1'ig-hting the r houses with electricity would he no greater than coal oil, pretty nearly all residents-would have,the lights installed. All lihe aldermen expressed Uie opinion that an attempt, should he made by the council to get the place decently lighted , and then the matter dropped. TRUANT OFFICER Messrs. II. Carroll and H. Hughes forming a -telegation from, the School Board, asked leave to address, the council on a matter of importance. Permission being granted, Mr. Carroll said it had come to the notice of the school board that a lair-ge mu-m ber ot children of school .age were not attending the city school, and he and his colleague, Ms*. Hughes, were authorized by the board to approach the council and re-q^est tihe memliers to devise the way and means of getting these children at school. Last year there ' was a paid tmant officer who rounded up all Uie truants, and in consequence there were no children running the streets during, the day. But this office, as no doubt some members of the council would recollect Ras abolished when the new act was passed. The school trustees were anxious to have a good truant officer appointed, In a siihvLVieht'' discussion on. th*- '���������.icstion Mr.'Carroll .pointed out tli'at for thc interest oi. the city as well as for the childiens' own good, in the matter and his worship was convinced that the government? would ask a very reasonable sum of money ior the hose.

Minn., Feb. 3.���������Alleging ' tho payment of $1000 to James Lindsay as an inducement to marry her mother, thereby securing thousands of dollars worth of property- under lhe provisions of her father s will, is tho charge in the deposition of Alonzo J. Whittman, now serving a sentence in Auburn prison for forgery against his sister, Mrs. J. C'ibbs, in tho suit to'bo tried in the federal court in this city Fob. 1-1, to set aside a deed alleged to be l'raudulend. George F. Perkins, who held a judgment of ������15,000 against Whittman, is plaintiff in tho suit, and ' Clara J. Gibbs, Alfred L. Gibbs an.' the Cloquet Lumber Co. are defendants with, the Detroit Trust Co. The suit involves ,the heir to 4000 acres of valuable land in St. Loui."- county. Reuben Whittman, fathei of Alonzo and Clara Whittman, was possessed of a large fortune at tho time of his death at Dansville, N.Y. in 1S8S. lt consisted of a paper liii'll worth "$2i>0,000, real estate and personal property in New York, and the 4000 acres of land in this county. By the terms of his will Whitt man left his wealth to the second daughter with a life estate to his wife. If she married, however, it was provided that it was to go to the son and daughter, Alonzo and Clara. It is alleged that the sister induced James Lindsay to marry her mother, and thereby secure possession of the bulk of the fortune for herself and Alonzo. Whittman from his cell room i. Auburn prison, - declares he was in Europe at the time of the second marriage of his mother took place and that he knew nothing of it. When asked whether she had paid the $1000 for the proposed charge, Mrs. Gibbs answered. "I did not pay it. It might have been paid by my attorneys." It is assorted that on the face of the records and depositions. Mrs. Gibbs paid nothing for the j.ropi-rty and the contention in the suit is as to whether tho property was fraudulently conveyed to her. Whittman, it is charged has no interest in the result of the suit. DAVID SPENCER ^ ^aaaa&���������(Nanaimo) Ltd.! [Is ther_ a Hatiess Woman? A Hatiess Miss? A Hatiess Child? Left in Town .WM.

The total pack in 1001 was 1,236,156 cases, or 08,696 cases more than the pack of last year. In 1897 tho total pack amounted to 1,- 015,477 cases, or 151,983 cases less than the pack of last year. In red and white springs on the Fraser river and in tho North the total pack was 28,359 cases. Humpbacks were packed to the number of 13,970 cases, and cohaos packed numbered 44,458 cases.

DAVID JOHNSON w_ :_.__-,. LADYSYllT * '���������r ��������������� 1 GAME aND FOREST {WARDEN'S REPOT The following from tho first report of the Provincial Game and Forest Warden may be of interest to local hunters: Pit-lamping. Tho practice of using pit lamps should be stopped at all costsf There is a tremendous lot of it done on Vancouver Island and all along the coast. It 1ms not only been the cause of a great many cattle being killed, numbers of deer wounded to get away and die a lingering death, does and fawns being iiadlscriuiinate- ly shot, but it has also led to loss of human life. The game warden or Constable who, in pursuit of his duty gocs> out to prevent this practice, runs serious risk of his life, as it is absolutely necessary to follow the man till he shoots at or kills a deer. ,lf his presence is known his time is wasted; und if it is not known, ho .stands a good chance of getting shot by mistake. Then, if ho does, after taking his life in his hand, obtain a conviction, the chances aro the ninn convicted gets off with a light fine. There is one, and only one, way of Putting a stop to pil-lnmping, nnd that is by making the act of using a pit-lamp a Telony. punishable by tne or two years' imprisonment. Protection of Moose. I recommend that moose be,absolutely protected in British Columbia, south of the Canadian Pacific railway, for the next five years, and that an increased penalty bo imposed for killing them. At the present time there are still a few moose lefc East Kootenay and they should allowed to increase. Protection of Elk on Island. I does not accompany his trophies, as they have generally to be prepared for shipment, and to hold the head till these inquiries were made would cause considerable annoyance, or might result in thc head being spoilt This tag system is now in use in Ontario and other places, and has beenfound to work satisfactorily. Black Game ancl Capercailzie.

I think it advisable to give sufficient notice . that these animals are going to be ' protected, as huelj the Game Book 1 has been advertising the sport ' of' this country, and people should have j time to know they cannot kill wapiti. iUl ON THE COAST i i Protection of Bear. I At the present time non-residents are not compelled to lake out a licence for hunting bear. This fact has been the ' means of considerable Joss to the Province, ns from .10 to L"> non-residents were in (lie country last spring and summer for the sole purpose of hunting bear. ' Bears aic gctlintr .scarce all over the southern part of this continent, aad the grizzly especially so, and more people are looking for now hunting grounds for them, and their is no reason why boar should not bo as valuable an asset to the Province jS asany other kind of game.. Another jfilj reason why bear should be placed on the protected list is that they, al present, afford non-residents an excuse for not taking out a hunting licence. They can say they are only going to hunt bear, and may in reality bo after moose or any other kind of big game. IP they kill their moose, they may or may hot pay their fee, according to where they are and what are the chances' of avoiding doing so. This makes -a lot of work watching that those so- called bear hunters do not kill any other kind of game. It is akiiown I board fact that several people have-evaded the licence under this excuse. .Exportation of Game Trophies With regard to the exportation.-.of, trophies from the Province by nonresidents who have taken out a hunt ing licence, there has been a good deal of trouble in determining whether the shipper has obtained a licence or not. To do- away with this difficulty ami make it easier to prevent the illegal exportation of the heads of game animals, I recommend that a now form of licence bo issued, with tags attached for each different kind of game, and that it be necessary to have one of those tags attached to each head before it can be shipped, and that all heads bo shipped in open crates, so that the tag can be got al. Under tho present condition of the' law, it is hard to tell whether it is lawful or not for a head to be shipped, till exhaustive inquiries have been made as to whether the shipper has n licence or not. As a general thing, the owner From the bill, of which notice .was given in the house and which has since hjeen printed., it will be seen that ATcGill university proposes to establish a college at the coast, and as far as is known at present, Vancouver is to be the chosen spot. The scheme has been developed by Prol. Tory who paid a visit to Van couver and Victoria six months ago for the purpose of negotiating for a site and ascertaining what local financial aid would be forthcoming. It is understood that his aogotiations were satisfactory hence the measure now before the legislature. In the first instance the college will house a single faculty, science, aod mining will be thc chief studies. This decision has been forced upon thu organizers by the fact that Bri. tish Columbia is the most important mining section of the Dominion and at present students have to go from here to McGill for their ordinary course and come back every season with the summer school for their mining practice. This will be remedied by the proposed college which wijl be affiliated with McGill. It is also understood that tho wealthy eastern benefactors of that institution have promised to contribute lib erally to the establishment of the new college, and as it will form the' nucleus of. a provincial university, there is no doubt us to its popularity and should be none as to its sue cess. In the bill provision is made for government representation on the of; management and power is taken to conduct any part of tho higher .education now in the hands of the high schools of the province. Nothing is said about an endowment and that will be left for the future, and will largely depend on whether tho new departure now proposed is found adequate or whether as is desired by many of the leading educationalists, a provincial university is established, by the government to bo directly supported from the public fund*. , proien by the face that the jewel- f di-'s dummy clocks have shown the I time since the early part of the last century. - "��������� J All the clocks prior to 1S61 did not show that time any more than they do today. Some of them show five minutes to one, some fourteen minutes to nine and'other positions, but in nearly all tho hands are eqiii- \ distant from the figure twelve. j As far as 18 minutes after 8 or1 18 minutes to 4 is concerned,* ���������-this, is most symmetrical, the first being one-third the distance from 12, and the second two-thircs. In this position they leave a long sweep abovo for the imprint, of the jeweler's name and a diagram of the seconds dial when, such is used. Tfow the Lincoln story got into circulation we do not know, unless it was the offspring of some reporter's imagination. It has undoubtedly been kept alive for business as well las sentimental reasons. A certain dummy clock maker in New York' has obtained considerable advertising on several occasions tjy telling a story to reporters about a jeweler rushing into his father's place after Lincoln was shot, and asking him to paint the face on the dummy clock lie hud ordered at 3 8 minute* after 8 to represent.the hour that Lincoln died; that his father liked the position of the hands in that way and used it on subsequent clocks, making a stoncil from which all markings were done. The story, as it goes around, in most cases is to tho effect that after Lincoln was shot, a mooting of the National Jewelers' Association, bo-' ing then in session, the Jewelers re- solvetf to perpetuate the time on their signs, and the resolution was adopted to, this effect; but inasmuch as there was.no National Jewelers' Association at that time���������in fact, there was no meeting of jewelers of which we have any record���������tho story is a yarn lon its face, even if the proof was not clear that such a Position of the hand had been common prior .to 1861.
