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).

Nicholson, and it is practically, a totally different by-law that finally passed the committee stage last evening, and is today published for the first time. During a lengthy meet- i/ng of the council last night little else but eloctiic light was discussed. Each clause was gone into thoroughly, and ultimately, on a motion by the Mayor, seconded by Aid. Malone, the by-law was adopted as amended as a whole. The by-law will be published in The Ledger for ten days, and the people will vote on it on Saturday. Oct. 7th. Tho council decided to hold the public-meeting, at-which one or two of the leading electricians of the province will be present. to explain the leading features of -lee. trie light, on Thursday, Oct. 5th. The questions of engaging,a man to superintend thc construction of the plant should the people vote in favor of the bill, and to make arrangements for the procuring of coal for the plant and also to find the -best site availabe on which, the proposed plant could he erected, were then brought up by thc Mayor. Aid. Beveridge could not see the- advisability of going to this trouble and expense until the- by-law was passed by the people. Aid. Nicholson favored taking up these questions at once. He said n< expense would be incurred, and i the- ii getting to work avoided. Thc Mayor agreed with Aid. Nicholson, and pointed out that thev on a motion by Aid. Bevoridge, see the plant was to be run by steam Aid.' Beveridge agreed with Mr. 'ended by Aid. Blair, lo ascertain if Blair. The city would be unable to. Mr. A. C.

MURDERED IN CAR ON ENGLISH RAILWAY Mutilated Body of a Girl is Found in Merstham Tunnel near London Supposed to Have Been Killed While Train was in Motion and Thrown from Car ship said if the city was to go ahead il. had got to be properly lighted. Aid. Blair spiritedly replitid to It is understood that if Mr. King advises the council that this could be accomplished at a small cost., an lhe city could be as-dark as a dun- yeon. rather than be in debt, for he was certain that the installation of a steam-plant meant debt. The Mayor said there was abso-; lutt-ly no ground whatever to think this that as far as he was concerned expert will be engaged to see if thc water of the two creeks together would be sufficient to furnisli (.he required power. It was also decided, on a motion by Aid. Bryden, seconded, by Aid. Nicholson, to instruct the city clerk London, Sept. 20.���������-The Merstham Tunnel, of the London and Southeast crn Railway, whole the brutal murder of Frederick Cold by Percy Le- froy, alias Mapleton, occurred June 27th, 1881, has-again been the scene of a mysterious tragedy, the details of which, so far as ascertained, are markedly similar to that of a quar- ter of a century ago, In the present case the victim is a young woman, Mary Mooney, whose body was hor- iibly mutilated. A long veil was tightly wedged in her moutli and the police are confident she was murdered in the compartment of a train on which she was travelling and her body thrown from the car. The fact that all the doors of the train on its arrival at Rod Hill were closed is considered to prove conclusively that it was not a case of suicide. Miss Mooney left her home on Sunday, saying she would not be gone long. Ohe by-law passed the-people, - council'would find a lot of delay' a loss. >.n Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster the electric light was furnished by steam plants and those plants wcre not being operated at a loss. - Aid. Blair��������� I-believe we could get water power if we tried. The Mayor���������Aid. Blair, we have had one of the most capable men in the country to investigate the water proposition and he says if would be an unsnfs investment for the city. A private .company which, a year or two ago .made thorough investigations say it is impossible. I cannot- understand why it is that Aldermen Blair and Beveridge, after passing the by-law, are now offering objections to it. Why is it? Aid'. Beveridge said he-could not see where the money to'operate a steam plant, was coming from. There was-fuel and five,men to be>paid. for. At thc public meeting the Mayor had been reported as saying the need not engage a man to act as city Wolllcl derive a rcVenue from the construction superintendent,., but they strcet, [-glits ,,llt hp> the speaker, wanted to know where the money to could ascertain the terms of a capable man, and if thc by-law passed, t-hey could engage him forthwith. In reference to the question of fuel, and site for the proposed plant, thc council would piofil considerably . by having all information on these subjects when the time came for awarding the contract. They could not afford lo waste time. , If the people' voted for the-by-law, it would be the duty of the council to get "the. plant constructed and the city supplied with light without unnecessary��������� delay. - Aid.

A number of people objected to steam, and were of thc opinion that the possibilities of obtaining, water power had not been properly looked up! Col. Tracey had said it might be possible * to store water, but the council had not gone into this question'. For his part, he would vote against the bv-law if that a steam plant would be run at j to write to a capable electrician and ascertain his terms to supervise the construction of " tbe pfarit. n the- event, always, of the people voting in favor of the by-law; also to write to the Wellington ,Col'liery Co. ,to find out what arrangements they would" be willing to make for supply ing fuel to operate the proposed plant and also to ascertain what sites suitable for the same arc avail-; able. Aid. Bryden, chairman of the street committee, reportedHhal he had been unable to discover .'the owners of thc building standing on Gal-i- crc sfcreet; above First ~A venue. Nobody locally claimed it, but he had heard that it belonged to Mr. Yar- wood, of Nanaimo. The people living in close proximity to the. building desired it removed,- as, standm-g whe.re it does, it raised''the insurance rates on the adjoining property. Aid. Blair thought it would bc n good idea to move the building to the Market Sqiiaro and use it as a pound shop. Mr. Blair had a cold last, evening, ond everybody present thought he said "Pawn Shop," and a dca.il silence followed his remark. After a time one of thc aldermen setting at the further end of Mutable was heard to murmcr "A pawn shop, -Aid.-Blair;, what docs the city want with a pawn shop?" "' Aid. Blair explained.. He meant to convey the impression that it.would be . a good idea to convert (he ex- tinsmith shop into a place in which stray; cattle anHtaglcss dogs could be kept. The proposal was rejected and the clerk instructed to communicate with Mr. .--Yarwood regarding the building. The road foreman's report was received and filed,, and accounts including school teachers' salaries amounting to $5*90.50 were ordered''to be paid.

As will be- seen by the subjoined letter to the secretary of the Board of Trade, the Joan will begin on Saturday, ' tbe 30th, regular trips from Ladysmith once a week to Vancouver. It is not yet given out just how tin's will be done, but it is quite likely it will be via Nanaimo both ways.

The Washington Stevedore Sompany bid 38 cents for unloading lo the wharf and 50 cents if lighters are to be used. Mr. McGowan*s bid was 3S cents straight.
