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).

Some years ago the province of Luxembourg was infested with .wolves and the alarmed inhabitants appealed lo the minister of agriculture, and he in turn appealed to the minister of war, with the result 1hat several reg- iiifnts were ordered ������o the province and the pests were extciminated in short order. It is not many .'years ago that German soldiers were ordtred to East Belgium to assist the peasants in a plague of rats, and millions were killed before the troops were withdrawn. Four thousand Rwsia soldiers cleared the railway line in the vicinity of Odessa liter the great hli/zarcl of 1003, and a company of French infantry enjoyed a lion hunt in tho streets of Chartres when one of these animals escaped fiom a trav el ling iiieiiai!erie.

It was simply a question or" shoving the band men oil'. Aid. Graham could not see where tho- ratepayers could have any kick in the matter. Aid. Barnes stated that the Fin- nance Commit lee had not included in the estimates anything towards! band concerts. He thought music by one bund was enough for one season and if next year's council wia-hed to continue the open con. | certs they could assist the Silver j Cornet band and thus even matters up. ; Aid.
