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).

Mr. Dooicy, unless our memory is a% fault, admits somewhere that opportunity knocks at least once at every man's door, but adds that if the roan opens ibe door opportunity frequently swats lr m in the jaw. Now, the President is not a man of peace, lie lias frequently celebrated the glories of combat, and of the fibre that resin Is from carnage. When ,he became the most conspicuous "laborer for peace between Russia ami -lapan, his gas arisen to teach the old ami proud attitude was determined largely by powers new things about the direful his opportunity.

Each, from the beginning probably guessed rather accurately 'wiiai was in the 'other's'hand, and the result represents tire relative strength of the cards held by each. Russia Was influenced by money con- isiderations and the international situation fat more than by public opinion, although, of course, the views of tne President, the'Kaiser, and the French���������would have weight- Such surmise must, however, for along time be, geatrai. We know only that a great war has been fought for an ob- icct with which .England arrd Amlrica are in sy'nipathy, that anew power so great that it was hypn0lic. To make peace between two strong ria. tions, after a struggle that was so 1 memorable, would go far to assure him space ia histary; for in Mire narratives of the past a statesman's place ii> determined as much by the size of events in which be was Concerned as by thc actual personal quality of the man himself.

The three men arrived in Tanana and acted -as if ittHhing had 'happened. Their friends were taken aside one at a time and informed lhat he would be led straight to a claim on the new creek, which was 2;"> miles long, but he must lirst sign a paper that he would not directly or indirectly try-to secure other claims, and furthermore, that half of the: net ..profits of his claim must be handed over to the trio of origin, r.1 locators. In this way they secured Irom twenty friends legal undertakings to divide up with them, and as there were enough to cover the creek, the party had been organized.

If any but French naval men have any accurate knowledge oi the French submarines it can only be spies of other governments - whose knowledge would certainly nsver be published. The American vessels for underwater fighting have, however, proved remarkable.

Certainly the safety of this boat must Ire thought past aIi argument when the first' citizen of'tho republic g-pes under water in it. for .several hours. But the French have now, so-the Berlin papers announce, a submarine - for shallow harbors that runs along thc bottom on wheels and this "would- certainly sink any foreign craft that ventured in Brest or Calais during war times.
