BC Historical Newspapers
The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

[HE PERKINS F Mr. Perkins Brings His Philosophy to Bear on Fishing. 'WHY CATCH THEM?" HE ASKS Puts tho Problem Up to Mrs. Perkins. Calls His Word Mere . Sophistry. There Is No Place Like Home For a Philosopher. [Copyright. 1907. by P. C. Eastment.] Mr. Perkins, family philosopher and take It easy, hud been smoking his cigar and reading the evening paper for U*rr minutes wheu Mrs. Perkins, who bud liecu sketching over a book, laid it aside and said: "Mr. Perkins, do you realize that the Mirnnier- is about >;oiie?" "Perfectly, my dear; perfectly," ho replied. "That's a way summer has had ever since I knew anything about Ihe seasons." "Last Deceiubei*. one night when the mow was knee deep and there was a "XOU ARE TOS3ED TWENTY FEET HIGH ON HIS IlOltNS." perfect gale blowing, we sat right where we do now, and you spoke up and said that if you ever lived to see another summer you'd go fishing at least ouce a week and take me with you. Perhaps you can recall your words?" "Last December! Last December! Let me consult my memorandum book. A great many things have happened since last December. Let us see. Here under date of Dec. 22 I And the following entry: " 'Snowing and blowing. Winter in earnest Wife and I are as cozy as you please. Just observed to her that if we live to see next summer we'U go fishing every week.' "That's what I find entered, Mrs. Perkins. And did you wish to pass any remarks on the record?" "Yes, I do. Ilave we been'fishing one single time this whole summer long?" "Not that I remember of, my dear." "Haven't I spoken about it twenty different times?" "I should say twenty was about the number." "And each time you've said you'd sec about it, and we didn't go." "You are correct." "Well, have you any explanations to make?" "Um! My dear, I have often told you never to make explanations when you could avoid them. Explanations may explain or they may not."- They may reuder everything clear or mix things worse than before. If you feel that you could get along without explanations it would be.a favor to me." "But I don't feel that way. We were to go fishing most every day this summer. We haven't gone a single time. Why haven't we?" On Philosophical Principles. "My dear Mrs. Perkins," said Mr. Perkins as he laid his paper aside, "we shall have to go into this matter as a whole and decide It on philosophical principles. We will do it at once and have it over with. And. by the way, I promise you any number of sleigh rides now for next January." "And you will keep that promise as yon have kept this one?" she retorted. "First and foremost, why do people go fishing? The natural answer is, to catch fish. We have been fishing thirty times and never even had a nibble. Twenty times did not discourage me, but thirty did. "Why. catch fish at all? You will answer, to eat them. You catch them, bring them home, dress them, fry them, serve them, and you taste a mouthful nnd throw the rest to the cat: It has cost you at least $3 to get what you could have bought at the market for 50 cents. Notice the. economic problem here presented." "Oh, I'm noticing!" replied Mrs. Perkins. "Voir are already paving the way to make a sneak." "But we go fishing and don't catch any fish," he continued. "We nro out our time and tlio cost of bait. Wo have several squabbles whilo fishing. Wo have more coming home. We have still others after arriving. We are tired. We are sunburned. We are mad. Moral, don't go fishing. "To go fishing we must ride two miles on a street car and then cross a field with a bull In It "Fuses blow out and set street cars on fire. "Street care have a way of running off the track' and killing passengers. Conductors carry guns. They may go off by accident "If wc escape all the dangers Ind- flent to street cars we still havo the 'null to reckon with. One can never tell when a bull Is going to take exceptions to your hat, your clothing or even your gait He decides that he doesn't love you a bit and comes for you. You are tossed twenty fret high on bis horns, and when you come down the vital spark has fled." "The vital nonsense!" contemptuously exclaimed Mrs. Perkins. "Suppose, however, that the bull takes no exceptions to our clothes and gait and permits us to pass on.' We climb two rail fences and reach an old wharf. We tempt Providence by standing c*JL We U>li fur hours uud cutcli no'usm By Innuendo 1 can you aMioo- doo. By innuendo you call me a liar. I at once begin to think of the cheap tombstone I shall buy you at your death, and yon at once begin to wonder if you've got to put up with me for five or ten years longer." "Your words are mere sophistry, Mr, Perkins. You can crawl through the smallest knothole of any man I ever saw." "But let us go back a little, Mrs. Perkins���������let us go back. I was thinking one day last May that we'd go fishing next day when I happened to open a medical pamphlet. There was a treatise in it ou fish." "Oh, of course!" "It was stated that the fresh fish of this country were responsible for 200,- 000 deaths per year." , "I will never believe it���������never!" As to Fresh Fish. / "Fresh fish, according to that treatise, are liable to various forms of blood poisoning, nnd when eaten they communicate the ailment to the eater. You may congratulate yourself on escaping some form of blood poisoning, Mrs. Perkins. You may have escaped death itself." "What's the use of listening to such twaddle!" exclaimed Mrs. Perkins as she rose up. "Sit down, my dear," he replied. "You wanted to know why I didn't take you fishing this summer, and I am trying to give you a lucid explanation. I had my doubts of the truth of the article In the pamphlet, and I called on an eminent physician. He corroborated till the statements of the writer.

ACTION OF ALCOHOL The Seven Stages of Drunkenness a/id the Results. According to the evidence given re- -ently by Dr. it. T. Williams, an English physician, in a London police court, says the Literary Digest, he dl-itln- i?tiishes si'ven stages of drunkenness- irritable, mellow, pugnacious, affectionate, lachrymose, followed, if the total doses were large enough, by collapse and death. It Is noted by the British .Medical Journal, from which this report Is taken, that other authorities have formulated these stages In different ways. Says this paper: "Magnan. who was one of the first to begin the scientific study of the physiological action of alcohol, dlstin gulshed Ove stages���������first, slight excitement and a feeling of well being, In which speech and gestures became more animated; in the second stage ideas became crowded together and confused, (he mood.being, without any very obvious reason for. the difference, gay or sad or full'of tender emotion; in the th.'rd stage the confusion of ideas was greater and accompanied by incoherence, perversion of'. taste and smell, illusions, thick speech, vacant countenance and staggering'gait; the fourth stage was coma and the fifth death. Magnan's second stage has been graphically described by Claye Shaw as 'a loss of the sense of awareness of surroundings.'" CHINISE HEAD TAI'^ Nova Scotia Court Practically Annate Its Payment. If a decision recently given by the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia in the case of the China* *en who wore smuggled into Cape x-i-etnn a few weeks ago is sustained, Celestials who' have been paying five '-undred dollars head tax on entering Canada will be kicking themselves that thoy did not sooner seek the arbitrament of the law courts. The Chinamen were arrested in Cape Breton on arrival from Newfoundland, chnrged with nonpayment of the head tax. On argument before the court, Mr. O'Conrror, for the accused, claimed that no offence was committed in the non-pay'-' merit of the tax, which could be sued for. The court quashed the conviction, holding in effect that it was no offence for a Chinaman to enter Canada, that ho could not be arrested for the nonpayment of the head ta.x.-birt could be sued in a civil action therefor, his case being analogous to that of a commercial traveler who entered a municipality where a special tax was imposed.

FOR DISEASES OF THE S TbePB Is No Treatment So Certain To Relieve the Itching and Hsa! the Sores As DrD Chase's Ointment THE FLAGS MUST WAVE. Education Department Out West Takes Steps to Enforce the Law. The Department of Kducntiorr has notified the sccretiiry-treasurcr of each school district in Manitoba that a declaration by the tencher with regard to flag-flying must In* completed and returned along with the regular half- yearly return nt tire close of the term. "Without this declaration we will not be able," says the Department, "to recommend the payment of the legislative and municipal grants." The teacher has to swear that the regulations respecting the flying of the Union Jack at tlie school have been complied with during the term. And that the Union Jack in use in tlie school district i.s in good condition and repair. If the condition of the flags Hying over some of the city schools is any indication of the state of the flags through that province the teachers in- most districts, it is thought, will have some difficulty in making oath that, the flag is "in good condition and repair." A school trustee in a rural district near Winnipeg, speaking of this circular, sard that they had already supplied two' flags to their school house., and that the' second one was now in rags and tatters. The one common feature of nearly all skin d'seasos is itching, annoying and ��������� oftentimes nlmosL^u*nendiu*able itching. The strong point about Dr. Chase's Ointment i.s that by reason of its remarkable soothing cmnlities it relieves itching from the', moment it is a.pplied. But Dr. Chase's Ointment does more than this, ft is composed of the, greatest nealing ingredients known to science, and its' healing powers are often described as magical.

Dr. Chase's Ointment is the most effective treatment for 'eczema and salt rheum that was e*>ei' discovered. There are many kinds of eczema, and nearly nil itching skin diseases come under this head. In children it is known as teething eczema, and many a forrcl mother will tell you"with' heartfelt gratitude, of how her little one was rescued from torturing, itching eczema by the use of this great ointment. Mrs. Joseph Urickman, Gilbert Plains, Man., writes:���������"! have used Dr. Chase's Ointment with good success.. For fifteen years I was troubled with itching burning skin disease, and tried many-remedies,-all-to'no avail, until I used Dr. Chase's Ointment.

Tho ��������� death occurred recently at Edinburgh, at the age of 28, of Dr. A. Mactier Pirrie. a brilliant young scientist, who, after gaining distinguished honors, including the Carnegie research fellowship in an thro- | pology, was appointed anthropologist to the Wellcome Research Laboratories at the Gordon Memorial College, Khartoum, and wont out to the Soudan in the autumn oi 190G. Dr. Pirrie made two expeditions up the Nile, penetrating to the remote parts of the liuhr-ol-Ghazal and to the borders of Abvssiuia. On both occasions he passed throwrh some of the most pestilential regions of Africa, in connection with his investigations of tropics*-! diseases. He contracted tropical fever, and was compelled to return to England. He presented .a paper on his expeditions at th������ last meeting of the British Association, but was prevented from being present on account of his illness. At intervals during his illness he was engaged on his report to the Carnegie Institute, arrd the Wellcome 'Research Laboratories, Khartoum, for which institutions he acted jointly in the important work he carried out in the Soudan. The "Languag-j" of Animals. Huxley thought that because of the absence of language the brutes can have no 'trains of thoughts but only trains of feeling, and this is the opinion of most comparative psychologists. I am myseli quite ready to admit that the lower animals come as near to reasoning as they come to having a language. Their various cries arid calls���������the call to the. mate, to the young, the cry of anger, of fear, of ���������alarm, of pain, of joy���������do serve as the medium of some sort of communication, but they do not stand for ideas or mental concepts any more than the .various cries of a child do. They are the result of simple reactions to outward objects or to inward -.vants, and do not imply, any mental proce-r.-s whatever. A grown person may utter a cry of pain or fear or pleasure with a mind utterly blank of any ideas. Once on a moonlight night I lay in wait for some boy poachers in my vinsyard. As I suddenly rose up clad in a long black cloak, and rushed for one and seized his leg as he was hastening over the fence, he uttered a wild agonized scream precisely as a wild animal does when suddenly seized. He told me afterward he was simply frightened out of his wits. For the moment he was simply an unreasoning animal. King Gave Medal.

This Province flays Duncan Ross is an irresponsible political parasite. Duncan may bo a false alarm, but even if he was a genius somebody .somowliere would have occasion to roast him. Ho does not mind tlio arrows that are shot at him,' Boing big and fat and thick-skinned, u hot roast will Tn an interview last week, Attorney-General Bowser said to a representative of the Vancouver Province that he was anxious to meet Duncan Ross ou a public platform. It is not probable that Mr. Ross'or any of the other federal members from , B. C. will voluntarily meet Mr! Bowser on a public platform to discuss the .Natal Bill or,' in fact, any public question. Bowser may look easy 3,000 miles away, but at short range politicians, as a rule, do not class him among the "soft snaps." It is not improbable that Mr. Ross has got in this jack pot behind the opener, with a pair of deuces. Following is Mr. Bowser's interview in the Province : "I have already made arrangements to put into immediate operation the new Natal measure the very hour it receives the assent of Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmuir, und I now challenge Duncan Ross to meet me on the public platform and substantiate his charges. 1 think this is some proof of my sincerity in- an effort to have a Natal law in this province." Immediately upon his return to Vancouver today the attorucj'- general sent a messenger to the office of the Canadian Nippon Co. requesting Mr. Gotoh to call at the office of Bowser, Wallbridge & Reid, but the word came back that Mr. Gotoh left for Japan three weeks ago, and will not return before April. " When Mr. Gotoh docs return I shall have him make a statement, regarding this charge by .Dunca'i Ross. Iu the meantime 1 challenge Duncan .Ross to meet me at a public meeting in Vancouver at any date that may suit hfm. If he refuses to meet me here, I will go to his home city, Greenwood, or I will meet him in Vernon, Ash- croft, Kamloops or any other city in his constituency of Yale-Cariboo "I want him lo prove the charges he has made. Second, I will discuss with him before the people my sincerity "on the present or the last Natal bill, and 1 will also dissuss with him the sincerity of federal Liberals upon legislation for tbe exclusion of Asiatics. ~"\Ee can't,' decline, for he is bound to come into his constituency in .the approaching federal campaign, and I shall get upon the platform where he speaks. Dun- crn Ross has either got to prove his charges or publicly retract sooner or later." Regarding the new measure, the attorney-general stated that no time would be .lost in passing the bill and presenting it to the lieu- teuant-governor for the signature that will make it law���������at least until it is vetoed by the federal authorities, which������-ivill be a period of not less than ten days. The government will have special officers under the supervision.of the provincial police, and not a single Asiatic emigrant will be allowed to enter British Columbia unless he is able to pass the educational test provided iu the bill���������������������������to read and write in English or any language of Europe any test submitted to him by the officer appointed by the act.

Apropos of the growth of new towns in the west, a locomotive engineer relates the following, says tho Epworth Era : One day I was driving my engine across the praiiie when suddenly a considerable town loomed up ahead where nothing had showed up the day before. What town's this ? says I to my fireman. Dunno, says Bill. It wasn't here when we went over the road yesterday. "Well, I slowed down, and directly we pulled iuto the station, where over live hundred people were waiting on the platform to see the first train come in. The conductor came along up front and says to me : , Jim, first thing wo know w-e'll be running by some important place. Gee this town down on your list and I'll put a brakeman ou tho rear platform to watch out for towns that spring up after the trains get by.
