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).

If the Nanaimo peopie would there be anyone present, who would ��������� care-to ask. any questions he would ' be pleased to answer them. There . was , practically no. local business that he could discuss. The matter that' was attracting most interest at present, upon which, he could speak, was that of the road, to the public '-wharf.- A few -days previously.. . he " had. , wrnttcn , a letter- in the locai newspaperstating what be knew of the situation. -No definite action to get a road hud been taken by the govc.nmcnt up to thc present, Ire- cause of the absence of the chief of the Lands and Works Department, Mr. Green. When that gentleman was away the other officials of the department were very much clams, .and he (the speaker) had found it impossible to get any information as to the course that the Department would probably pursue to get thc right of way to the wharf. However,.Mr. Green had now returned and something delirritc might be heard any day.He thought it .possible that -the Department' would tunnel under the /railway bracks to mako a road to the structure, hut personally1 he thought the road could be taken over the place where itwas orif gLnally intended it should go. This could be done if the right machinery; was set in motion. The machinery to do this ;was the Lands and Works Department,'"and. if the officials of that department did, thieir^ duty- there should) be no further delay irr get. ting the road . in shape. .However, the matter would have to. he. arranged by the Department--.and-, the Wellington Colliery Company, and no doubt sooner or later it would be arranged to' the statifaction ol both parties. This was the only local matter he had to deal with. Respecting the "attitude of^the Socialist members in the House,/he could say that they had practically speaking, held the position of opportunist's. During the last campaign they had spoken to the electors but little upon the principal of Socialism, but had merely stated what they intended doing for local affairs. Iir the House, to carry out their promises he had been employed iir their constituents and do their: He said he would speak of the various objections that were made to it 1 by some people and would endeavor 'to make a reply .to these objections. Socialists, he continued, wanted in their ranis men who at fi'.st had ,,,1C -system, and to use thc streets of The Mayor and Aldi' Bcthunc were present when the scheme was discussed briefly. "We are ready tospend a million doliois in Vancouver in the installation of a plant," said Mr. Armcnt. "The system is altogether different from anything you have here at the present time- We are asking for no concessions in the way of, exemption from taxation or anything iu that nature. What wc want is a franchise permission to come here and start some objection to thc doctrine, for such men, when their objections had been overcome bv other members of the city for our uiidei'gr,ouud cables.

Anything in connection-, with'-the position'"taken":by the Socral-'st members in the House.'during the last session was open to criticism. He rather enjoyed a little criticism on his principals, etc., and .was always willing to wrangle on the subject,- but he thought people we're.going_ too far .when they,'began to d:g into the private affairs of Parker, Williams. There was/a certain .individual in Ladysmith who had been taking a lively interest i in had joined Uiem. To become a Socialist was to take asenous step, and one should consider deeply before he took if. To hc a Socialist needed much courage in the Slates, and lie believed it was the same in British Columbia. Often did men lose their jobs because or their principals, but he would, venture to predict that in years to come it would need-considerable,courage to. be anything else but a Socialist, so rapidly; was the power of the organization growing, it also rehired- brains to be a Socialist, and brainy men. only were needed in the ranks. It needed no, brains to Infa Liberal or Cou- scrvaliAe. After conti ruling in this strain for some time he went on to say that one objection made against Social- Iris,'-themember's, affairs, and had expressed himself as being- certain tlie United States the average that, he had done not a scrap, of '^vaSc' c^'������cd by a worKiingman was work for the past three years, that J*1'"10'Per day, ami that man produc- he was' in debt up to his eyes, and ,e<i ?l������ worth of wealth.

No doubt the rrrari that invented'such base lies as this was a Iviberal and had seen some '���������'greasing" going on in the ranks, of the Liberal party.

Enquiry made with the object of chartering the British steamer Carlisle, now in harbor at Saigon-, Cochin China, has brought to light an interest ing story regarding the de- lemma in which the vessel is now placed. The Carlisle is one of the contrabandist steamers which ran the blocl aJe of the Japanese oiT Port Arthur twice with a cargo of guns and ammunition valued at $1,500,- 0011, but failed to land the cargo. The war is over, and the cargo is still on l.o.ud thc Carlisle and likely to re- mam there until twelve months'char ter money is paid. 'ihe Carlisle, 130-3 tons, with Capt. Jessen in command, left Vladivostok iir December of last jear with a cargo of guns and ammunition taken from the Vladivostok defences to strengthen the then beleaguered fortress of Port Arthur if they could be run through the cordon of Japanese warships which held the sea oil" anese the United States authorities at Manila sent a cruiser of the ' inland squadron to San Miguel bay. aad the derelict was conveyed to Manu ��������� where she was held.

He was apprehensive of further attacks of patriots, and, in the meantime/a new propellor was made and fitted. The steamer lay at anchor in Manila bay and the war dragged its course.

The battle of Zsusln'ma was fought meanwhile and the. Russian admiralty had lost an interest in war munitions; Kuro- patkin had been decisively defeated at Mukden and Rojestvcnsky at Tsu- shshiiua. The Russian government was then too occupied to send word to Captain Jessen. The owners of tire Carlisle, Saivenscn and Company cf Leith, were queried by cable, and they did not want the guns landed. Before that was done they wished the Russian government to settle for the time charter.
