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).

In addition to the ordinary daily work, the task of grading the -Great .Northern copper spur is being rushed. This spur is about thrce-cjuarters of n mile Hi length, starting about half a mile north of the Granby smelter, running south, thence paralleling the main line until lit reaches a tangent point at the southern extremity of the smelter close to the high-level line, whence it describes a complete semi-circle around the smelter oni a fwciiby-five degree curve, paralleling itself in adislancc-of four hundred and sixty foot. This spur is built for the purpose of providing for the loading of cars of of the buster copper. This copper is made in large cakes, each weighing about three hundred pounds, which are loaded on the cars, three hundred cakes being in each car for ship-, mentcast. Superintendent Hodges, in.an interview, said: '" At! present we have seven furnaces running. I expect" to blow in the eigth in ��������� a few days. B the river keeps up as it .is at- present we will be able to run an eight furnaces continuously until" the West Kootenay 1'ower & Light Company has its power line completed to the smelter, which will be; in about throe months" timCi. ~ "Since the Norttiport smelter has closed down we have treated considerable more custom ore. as many of the Northport smelter's contracts^ have been taken over by the Granby. Among the latest shipping mines to the Granby smelter are the Copper- King, near Chewciah, Wash., and. the First Thought, near Orient.

BULGING GUN BARRELS. Tli* Rata That la Wroavht by Cave* - !��������������������������� Handlist-, I have sold guns for ten years, anA In that time "four of them have had their barrels bulged, one by enow, one by dirt, one by sand and one by something else getting into, it One man crawling through a fence got a little snow in the muzzle. He could not remove it with bis finger, so concluded to wait and shoot it out, which he did, but he found a bulge like a pullet's egg en the'end ot the barrel. Another got Borne earth in the muzzle and shot it out, and he, too, found the same kind of a bulge on the end of bis gun. Another fired his gun at ducks, which knocked him over on his back and fairly got away from him. When he picked up the gun be found a narrow raised band around the barrel fourteen Inches from the muzzle. In this case a wad had probably lodged there. This customer thinks tbe manufacturers ought to give him a new set of barrels. I tell him If tbe. barrels bad not been good ones it would bave been a burst in-' stead' of a bulge, which might have maimed or killed him. Another man ly* j j lug on a point brought down a duck with a broken wiug which scurried for the water. The man ran and struck the duck, with the muzzle of ihe gun and in sckdoiog got sand In It He blew' most of it out and shot out tbe rest of it. Well, after that shot be found a little blister two inches from the TOUS- eie about the size of a man's little finger. Moral.���������Do hot shoot obstructions ot any kind out of your gun if you value your life or gun.���������Uncle Dan in Ama- tfur Snortamaa. A Kerr HooaeTelt AneeAot*. - A personal sketch of Governor La Toilette contributed to Harper's Weekly by Earle Hooker Eaton contains ��������� new and entertaining anecdote of President Roosevelt which Mr. Eaton quotes In the president's own words. Mr. Roosevelt, It seems, was present at a reception attended by Governor and Mrs. La Follette. The president and Mrs. La Follette were standing in one corner engaged in conversation and eating ice cream. He was doing the bulk of the talking, and she was an attentive and unwavering listener. "Suddenly I discovered," says the president, "that for at least five mln- utes I had been pouring- lee cream down the front of her handsome evening gown. She had known It all the time, but had not indicated It by even the quiver of an eyelash or by the slightest change to the smiling, Inter* ested expression upon her face. Sh������ bad simply been too polite to inter- I rapt mo by word or look or move, M matter what happened to the gown."*" Woollen Goods We Carry.-A Large 'Assortment Of | these goods and offer attarctive selections in all the different lines��������� WOOLLEN UNDERWEAR WOOLLEN BLANKETS EIDER DOWN QUILTS FUR LINED GLOVES HOSIERY :<A, 1 T^ ������x-: 5 We Want You to Cair And amine the QUALITY and PRICE of these articles I SIMON LEISER & CO Ltd.
