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).

SAILORS HAVE A FIGHT M** There was "something doing" on the -Esplanade last evening when two 'sailors off one of the ships in iport met in what .was to '-have been a "fight to a finish." ��������� O'Brien and Shepherd are thc names of the two principals, and as one of the mixers is of the colored class, they were promptly named Gans and Nelson. The row started over a bottle, of beer, which the nogro is alleged to have taken from another man's pocket. There " being no policeman in sight, and both men feeling enthusiastic, they promptly stripped to the' waist and went at it. Both showed signs of science, and had they 'not been partaking too freely would undoubtedly have put up a very wicked fight, as, of course,r the usual four-ounce gloves were conspi- . cuous by their absence. "Gans" was probably the best man, although a trifle the worse for liquor, while "Nelson" had not been partaking quite so freely, and was t hereto) e better able to protect himself. The first round resulted in a nux-up, from- which 'both emerged bradly winded, but still in the ling, ln the next lioth went to t-ho ground, and thon the lack of a referee was apparent. "Get up," said Gans, who was underneath. "Get up,yourself," replied Nelson, who was busily engaged in taking in large--mouthfiils of air.-. "We'll .'both get up," 'remarked Gans, after an interval of heavy ���������breathing.: Nelson being, agrecaible, untangled himself, rolled over,- and ���������both came to their feefc. In the next round, Gans hooked or! .to Nelson's, shirt, and with a quick right and left pull, 'succeeded in reducing his opponent's weight several pounds: by parting him from his underwear. After this the honors were even, and consider-aMc stalling _was done by both parties, the'round ending up iu a- clinch, with- feeble ���������.pokes-at each, other's noses between, breathing spells. ..- On coming together ..again, however, 'Cl-ans landed, on Nelson's eye, drawing ..-blood,, rind the latter, to' gain time'in which to ascertain the extent, of bis injury, clinched", and both, came to the ground once 'more. Then the, old argument; was on. again, as to who should get up first, an-d -this IvaeV hardly boon settled and the fight, resumed, when Crs-nstaibie. Callendar ap-' ���������pea rod on the scene, parted the men, and sent them off to their ships. -o ������������������ day * of great .stakes for the poor man. might have passed, the day for big -hydiaulic, dredging and deep drifting propositions had only just begun. He had visited many of the mines working in Upper Cariboo and what lie ,had seen -hud very thorough) ly convin*' ,_ him o������ the great value of Cariboo to the Province. Regarding thc crown-granting of placer and hydraulic propositions, while he could ,not say .that he was in favor of that step still he believed that the titles should- be made moie 'seemc by amending the existing laws,in" such a inianner as we uld give greater, 'security to the ipera- tors. The objectionable feature of the laws -which placed in jeopardy the valuable machinery and thc hard work of years, through the mistake "of a clerk, or thc technical error of the management should be- altered in' such-a-manueiy-that no mu-tt'er what the error might he, so long as thc. company's intentions word bona fide, they might still letrive their position. He believed where a lease was cancelled it should he advertised and sold by public auction, and as in thc case of hind sold for taxes, a redemption clause should be present. The ianclies, especially 1-hose lying between Soda Creek and Quesnel impiessed Mr. M'acdonald very aigrcoJ ably and in his opinion all that was needed to build up a gieat farming community in this and neighboring valleys was; railway transportation, /'making thc marketing of farm produce and cattle a cheaper' proposition" than it was at ^present. James Muiphy, M.r\P.-, of Kam- loops, accompanied Air. Macdonald on his trip. ''Jim"'is one of thc .native sons of Cariboo and of course, his views on thefutuio of the district aie too well known to need elaboration on the part o_t_ the Journal. The Rev. W. L. Clay, presented the Home .Mission icport, and every Home Mission field within the "bounds' of the Presbytery, was thoroughly discussed. Grants amounting- to ov. ci S1300 were passed. The establishing of Theological Col lege in British Columbia, which was before the General Assembly at its last meeting, and transmitted to Presbyteries for consideration, occupied the attention of the court for some time, and .recommendations were awarded to the General; Committee which will meet in Vancouver this week. Dr. Campbell, convenor of Foreign Missions, gave a very interesting1 report of the woik amongst the Indians and Chinese. The Ladies' Guild of thc Congregation entertained the Presbytery -to luncheon, and dinner in the hall coin needed--with the "���������church."'" * U, S.

Calder, reneral agent for the Canadian Pacific in Seattle. He stales that from infoutualion received from Victoria ho is led to believe the line will he started this year. 'There is a possibility that thc vessels will touch at Seattle, although nothing definite, is as yet known of thc, route-of the line, with the exception that thc vessels will run to Mexican ports. The question of a direct line between Canadian poits and Mexico has been considered and talked of for many months. More than two years ago tenders were^ called for hty the Canadian government and J. Jl. Greer, brother of ii.W. Greer, general freight agent ot the Canadian Pacific, acting on behalf of Andrew*/ Weir & Co, one ol the largest shipping firms iii England, ofleied to' provide a steamship service. The negotiations fell through, but Mr. Greer, acting for another firm, has offered to piovide a monthly yU Em- ship service 'between Victoria, Vancouver and Mexican ports with steam ers' of 3,000 tons,- provided that a subsidy of $100,000 be granted, i.nc- h'alf by Canada and one-half biy Mev-, ���������ico. l Advices from Victoria state that these nctjotiations are successful and that the line will be established before long. Mr. Calder stated that the interests of Canada were closely allied with Mexico, and there was a large amount of Victoria capital invested in-Mexico,-and-the people of 'the two Canadian cities are anxious to have direct connection. .At present most of the shipping from Mexican ports passes through Seattle, as the Kosinos lines are thc only ones which come here after touching the Mexican ports.

Every hour you arc sulky and unforgiving you find it easier to bo cross ,and more difficult to -be agreeable. , - Never permit yourself to comment unfavorably upon a friend. If you have a complaint, carry it in "person to the individual concerned. Loyalty is the life breath of real friendship; and if there was more TRADE MARK IT DEFIES COMPETITION loyalty'there would he .fewer ���������broken friendships. .It is only M'heri we have entered into loving alliance with the universe that we are making the roost of life. Because flowers and trees live beautifully for you it is your duty to live beautifully* for .others. Other people's troubles may not be -as interesting as our own, but they are much easier to'bear4 Do not be''quick to take .offence. Few failings are so disturbing- to live with. We must learn to make allowances to overlook, and give lhe benefit of the doubt, and sometimes lo be even blind if we would bo happy. ' , . Do not half thc misunderstandings of life arise from an inability to listen accurately? And if this is so, howt careful we .should he to teach our children that if they repeat anything at all there must be absolutely no exaggeration! If speaking 1 to the point is -a useful art, listening to thc point is no less so. o SUGGESTIONS'FOR ' ��������� ' THE HOUSEWIFE Cantaloupes will turn milk sour if left near each 'other. Bread .crumbs should always be used for covering articles for frying as cracker crumbs .'absorb the grease. In '.making custard pie do not beat, thc eggs more than just, enough to have them mix with thc milk; then be careful not lo bake tolo long. A pan or bucket in which holes have been worn may be made valuable for carrying water for "flowers if small pieces of cloth .are pulled through the holes as far as they will go. ** ' S In warm wealher meats may., bo freshened by washing in cold soda water Jneforc cooking, (though . washing of moat is detrimental to. its quality and should only -be, dono when necessity demands/ it. Thc mosr desirable fruits for jelly making- after currants are crab apples, apples, quinces, grapes, blackberries, raspberries and peaches. If the fruit is used before it; is fully ripe, it makes a clearer jelly and a gentle simmering wilh no stirring^ will .make it of finer grain. ' - If alabaster ornaments are merely grimy, washing with soap and water will clean them; if, however, they "are stained, wash thcim first and then .spread over them a mixture of whiting made into a stiff paste, wash this off after a few hours, when the ���������stains will probably have disappeared. <* r p'AIN FROM A BURN PROMPTLY RELIEVED BY CHAMBER- , LAIN'S PAIN BALM'. - ' A; little child of Michael Strauss, of Vernon, Conn., was recently in great pain from a 'burn on the hand, audi as cold applications only increased the inflammation, Mr. Straus came to Mr. James "N.

The hoy's parents weie exhorted to piovide him with "wholesome and handsome clothing 'beseeming his estate.and to take care! of his body; "and lest it should cause the undoing of lhe child, the Prirents, are reminded that the care of him-at dinner ,time, supper time, etc., rests wi^li'thcm.'' Another recommendation to the patents is that "they should manage with great dis. crction and seventy at home, , which' will make him love his school," and the concluding plnase might be written up in every home of today: "For the master may -do much', but good and discreet government at home makes all sure, and. doth the greatest good."���������London Chronicle.
