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.

This is an unusual occurrence in Greenwood. As far as can be ascertained from the police and police commissioners, the citv has been free from gambling and the gambling element for many months, and it, would be out of place for a newspaper writer to 'make an assertion confraiy to that of men whose dutv it is to detect and suppress illegal practices. If appears that the game last week- was rennrkablo "only fo'r the regularity with whieh one of tho players scooped in the jack-pots. The game must have been '���'straight," for the gentleman who uad a cor-, ner on jack-pots had been a resident,of Phoenjx and^NelsOiffor a "considerable length of time.

A representative of this firm was in Kaslo the past week and bought up most of the zinc in the country, including 2300 tons of Whitewater mill product. In addition, a contract was entered into for the purchase of the zinc output of this pioperty for one year-. The ore will be moved as rapidly as transportation facilities will permit. lieaverdell Tuesday. A car of ore from the No. 7 lead of the Sally is ready for shipnii'iit.

The car_.!,ln|}iueni- was taken from a break in the lend about thirty feet long.

Half guessing the cause of her uneasiness, and feeling more averse than ever to taking part in the matter, the doctor, after a hasty survey of her person, withdrew into the background, and sat where he could not be seen. This brought the short dress into full view, together with the dainty little foot, nervously beating the floor. "She's very young," ho thought; 'too young, by far," and Mnddy's chances of success wero beginning to decline even before a word had been spoken. _ How terribly still it wns for the timc_ during which telegraphic communications wero silently passing between Guy and the doctor; the latter shaking his head decidedly, while the former insisted that he should do his duty. Madeline could almost hear the beatings of her heart, and only by counting and recounting the poplar trees growing across the street could she keep back the tears. What "Ma'ddy' Telt "flip'hot "brodiT'frTieririg to her very finger-tips, the examination had'taken a course so wirWy different from her ideas of what it would probably be. She had never looked inside a Latin grammar, and neain her truthful "I don't know, sir," fell on Guy's ear, but this time there was a half-dosnairing tone in the vonng voice usually so hopeful. "Perhaps, then, you can conjugate the verb Amo," Guy said, his manner indicating the doubt he- was beginning to feel ns to her qualifications. Mnddv knfw wpII what "conjugate" meant, but that vprb Amo. what could it menu? nnd had she ever heard it before? Mr. Remington wns waiting for her; sho must snv something, and with n gasp she began: ('T amo, thou nnioest, he nmocs. Plural: We nrno. ye or you nrno. they nmo." Guy looked ot her aghast for n single moment, nnd then a comical smile broke nil over his face, tolling poor Mnddy plainer thnn could words that she had made a most ridiculous mistake. ''Oh, sir," she cried, her eyes wear- ins the look of the frii'htened hnre. "it is nol'rijht. T don't know what it means. Tell me, teach me. What is it to nmo?" To most men it would not have seemfd" a very disacreenble task, teaching young Madeline Clyde "to amo," ns she termed it. and some such idea flitted across Guy's mind, ns he thought how pretty nnd bright Guy brought her the easy-cn'air from the front room and placed it for her by the window. With a fnint smile she thanked him and said. "You are very kind," but the smile hurt Guy cruelly, it -was so sad, so full of unintentional reproach, while the eyes' she lifted to his looked so grieved and weary that he insensibly ���������murmured to himself: "Poor child!" as he left her, and with the doctor repaired .to the house, where Agnes was impatiently waiting for them. Poor, poor little Madge! Let those smile who may at her distress; it was the first keen disappointment she had ever had, and it crushed her as com pletely (is many an older person has been crushed by heavier calamities. "Disgraced for ever and ever," she kept repeating to herself, as she tried to shake off the horrid nightmare stealing over her.

He will wear a cream-colored overcoat grilled with huge brown plaids, a square-tailed evening suit of dark blue worsted and a narrow- shouldered,' .full-bodied sack coat reaching as far down as the fifth rib. He will blossom out in gtiy colors ,.,.-. , , ,, - . , 1,'lttt corset which ho wore last win- after tilling her chubby hands with ter���������or should have worn, at was he waiting for, she wondered, was the entrer face upturned to hie, and, at last summoning all her cour- | the pure white forehead, suffused age she lifted her great brown eyes (with a faint flush, the cheeks a crim to Guy, and said, pleadingly. "Would you be so kind, sir, as to begin?" "Yes, certainly," and electrified by that young, bird-like voice, the sweetest save one he had ever heard, Guy knocked down from tbe pile of books the only one at all appropriate to the occasion, the others being as far beyond what was taught in the district schools as his classical education was beyond Madeline's common one. Remembering that the teacher of whom he had once been for a week a pupil, in the town of Framingham, had commenced operations by sharpening a lead pencil, so he now sharpened a similar one, determining as far as he could to follow that teacher's example. Mnddy counted every fragment as it fell upon the floor, wishing so much that he would commence, and fancying that it would not be half so bad to have him approach her with some one of the terrible dental instruments lying before her, as it was to sit and wait ns she was waiting. Had Guy Remington reflected a little, he would never hpve consented to do the doctor's work; but, unaccustomed to country usages, especially those pertaining to schools and teachers, he did not consider that it mattered which examined tnat young girl, himself or Dr. Holbrook. Viewing it somewhat in the light of a -- joke, he rather enjoyed it! and ns thi Framingham teacher had first asked her pupils their names and ages, so he, when the pencil wns shnrpened sufficiently, startled Madeline by asking her name. "Madeline Amelia Clyde," was the meek reply, which Guy quickly recorded. Now. Guy Remington intended no . irreverence; indeed, he could not tell ^ what he did intend, or what it was which prompted his next query: "Who gave you this name?" Perhaps he fancied .himself a boy again in- the Sunday school, and standing before the railing oj the altar, where, with others of his'age, he had been asked the question propounded to Madeline Clyde, who did not hear the doctor's smothered laugh as he retreated into the adjoining room. In all her preconceived ideas of this examination, she had never dreamed of being catechised, and with a feeling of terror ns she thought of that long answer to the question, "What is thy duty to thy neighbor?" and doubted her ability to repeat it, she said: "My sponsors, in baptism gave me the first name of Madeline Amelia, sir," adding as she caught and misconstrued the strange gleam in the dark eyes bent upon her, "I am afraid I have forgotten some of the catechism; I did not know it was necessary in order to teach school." "Certainly, no: I do not think it is. I beg your, pardon," were Guy Remington's ejaculatory replies, as he glanced from Madeline to the open door of the adjoining room, where was visible a slate, on which, in huge letters, the amused doctor had written "Blockhead." There was something in Madeline's quiet, womanly, earnest manner which commanded Guy's respect, or he would have given vent to-the laughter which wns choking him, and thrown off his disguise. But he could not bear now to undeceive her, nnd, resolutely turning his back upon the doctor, he snt down by thnt pile of books nnd commenced the examination in earnest, asking first her age. "Going on fifteen," sounded .older to Madeline than "Fourteen and a half," so "Goiri2 on fifteen" was the reply, to which Guy responded: "That is very young. Miss Clyde." "Yes, but Ivfr. Green did not mind. He's the committeeman. He knew how. youhg I was," Madeline said, eagerly, her great brown eyes growing large with the look of fear which came so suddenly into them. Guy noticed the eyes then, and thought them very bright and handsome for brown, but not so bright or handsome as a certain pair of soft blue orbs he knew, 'and fe.eling a thrill of satisfaction thnt sweet Lucy Athorstone wns not obliged to sit there in that doctor's office to be questioned by him or any other man, he said: "Of course, if your employers aro-satisfied it is nothing to me, only I had associated teaching with women much older than yourself. ' What is logic, Miss Clyde?" The abruptness with which he put the question startled Madeline to such n degree thnt she could not positively tell whether she hnd ever heard that' word before, much less could she recall its meaning, and so she answered frankly. "I don't know," A girl who did not know what logic was did not know much, In Guy's estimation, but it would not do to stop here, and so he asked her next how jrirj.nv cnaoa..there "were in Initial... son hue, and the pale lips parted slightly as Maddy appealed to him for.the definition of "amo." "rt"is a Latin verb, nnd means 'to love,'" Guy said, with an emphasis on the last word, which would have made Mnddy blush hnd she been less unxious and frightened. Thus far she hnd nnswered nothing correctly, nnd, feeling puzzled to know how to proceed, Guy stepped into the ndjoining room to consult with the doctor, but he wns gone. So, returning, Guy resumed the examination by asking how "minus into minus could produce plus." Again Maddy was at fault, and her low-spoken "I don't know" sounded like a wail of despair. Did she know anything, Guy wondered, and feeling some curiosity now to ascertain that fact, he plied her with questions philosophical, questions algebraical, and questions geometrical, until in an agony of distress Maddy raised her hands deprecatingly, as- if she would ward off any similar questions, and sobbed out: "Oh, sir, no more. It makes my head so dizzy. They don't teach that in common schooltj. Ask me something 1' do know." Suddenly it occurred to Guy that he had gone entirely wrong, and mentally cursing himself for the blockhead the doctor had called him, he asked kindly: "What do they teach? Perhaps you can enlighten me?" "Geography, arithmetic, grammar, history, and spelling-book," Madeline replied, untying and throwing off her bonnet, in the vain hope that it might bring relief to her poor, giddy head, which throbbed so fearfully that all her ideas seemed for the time to have left her. This was a natural consequence of the high excitement under which she was laboring, and so, when Guy did ask her concerning the books designated, she answered but little better than before, and Guy was wondering what he should do next, when the doctor's welcome-step was heard, and leaving Madeline again, he repaired to the next room to report his ill- success. "She does not seem to know anything. The veriest child ought to do better than she has done. Why, she has scarcely answered half a dozen questions correctly." This wns what poor Maddy heard, though it was spoken in a low whisper; but every word was distinctly understood and burned into her heart's core, drying her tears and harderiing-her,into a block of marble. She knew that Guy had not done her justice, and this helped to increase the torpor stealing over her. Still she, did not lose a syllable of what was saying in the back office, and her lips curled scornfully when she heard Guy remark: "I pity her; she is so young, and evidently takes it so hard. Maybe she's as good as they average. Suppose we give her the certificate." Then Dr. Holbrook spoke, but to poor, dnzed Maddy his words were all a riddle. It was nothing to him ���������who was he that he should be dictating thus? Tliere seemed to be a difference of opinion between the young men, Guy insisting that out ol pity she should' not be rejected; nnd the doctor demurring on the ground that he ought to be more strict daffodils and early violets, wended her way to the office, the door of which wns partially ajar. Peering curiously in, she snw the crumpled bonnet, with its ribbons of blue, and, nttrncted by this, advanced into the room, until she enme where Mnde- line wns lying. With n feeling thnt something was wrong, Jessie bent over the prostrate girl, asking jf she wns asleep, nnd lifting next the long, fringed lashes drooping on the colorless cheek. The dull, dead expression 'of the eyes sent a chill through Jessie's frnnie, nnd hurrying to the house she cried: "Oh, Brother Guy, somebody's dead in the oflice, and her bpnnei is . <illwi>immpd '_'.' - (To be continued.)

RIGHT HAND OR BOTH HANDS. Four-Fifths of the Babies Said to Be Ambidextrous. Many reasons have been advanced for the prevalence of right-handedness. It is by some said to be the result of nursing and infantile treatment, to be due to early practice in writing and drawing, to be the outcome of warfare, education, and here-' dity, the result of mechanical law and other remote causes, according to The Strand. Sir James Sawyer declares that the preferential use of the right hand is due to the fact that in primitive days man used the right hand for the purposes of offence, so as to keep the heart���������the vital spot- as far as possible from the assault of an adversary. Recent experiments and observations, however, prove that single-handedness is merely the result of faulty or restricted education. It is a curious instance of human contrariness that should one eye, one ear, or one leg of a child show signa of diminished vigor the parents would instantly seek the cause of and if possible remedy for that lamentable condition; yet for some inexplicable reason or prejudice the left hand of the average child is ruthlessly and deliberately neglected, until in mature years it is an undeveloped, useless, and almost unnecessary appendage. Careful observations have shown that out of every hundred persons born into this world eighty are congenially ambidextrous���������that is to say, they will instinctively reach for an object with either hand and only require proper instruction and training to develop both hands and arms to an equal degree of strength and skill. Of the remaining 20, 17 will be right- handed, while the other three will show a natural bias toward the left hand. The cultivation of ambidex' terity, therefore, offers no insuper able difficulties, and the economical, physiological, and psychological advantages are enormous. It is said that the Japanese soldiers can use their weapons with equal skill in either hand, for they are trained to be ambidextrous from childhood. At school they are taught to write and draw with both hands. In drawing and painting no supporting device whatever is used, the entire arm being employed. The German educational ^authorities, too, are at present giving consid- As erable attention to left hand work, A Severe Case of Rheumatism Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills "For many weary months T suffered untold agony. I could not walk, could scarcely raise myself to a sitting posture. I was under medical care, but in vain. Finally I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they have restored me to my former healthy condition." This strong statement was made to. reporter recent'y by Mr. Charles S." Keddey, formerly of KignsTon, N.S., but now living at Port Maitland. Mr. Keddey is a carpenter by .trade and is now able to work every day. He adds: "I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Williams' Pjjik Pills, as they cured me after other medicine failed. While I was living at Kingston, N. S., I was seized with rheumatism in its most violent form. I was compelled to take to my bed and for months was an invalid.- "I was "so weak that it was difficult for me v raise myself to a sitting posture. It is impossible to tell how much I suffered day and night, week in and week out. The pains were like pi������rc- ing swords. I had medical attendance, but it failed. Then I tried medicines advertised to cure rheumatism, but with the same result��������� money wasted. One day, when hope had almost gone a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I told t him my experience with other medicines but he assured me that these pills would cure rheumatism, so I sent for a supply. After using a few boxes I was able to leave my Because of Scarcity and High Price. of Feed. Under the caption, "A Lean Year for Ontario" tho Weekly Sun says: Roughly, we have nino million (acres ilevoted to the - various field crops ���������jrown in Ontario. Of this total, about three million acres are in hay, and two and three-quarter millions in oats. Thus well over sixty per cent', of the entire acreage given to field cultivation is in these two crops,, and, these two main crops are the .poorest in many years. Hay will not give over two-thirds of the- tonnage per acre this year that has been harvested in recent years���������probably not over half. Oats are likely to be nearly 35 per aent. below the average yield, and this is' equivalent to cutting, off twenty-five million bushels on . this one crop alone. On the other hand, the hay which has been harvested "hns"'been exceptionally well saved, and com, which can be largely substituted for hay, has of late been making splendid progress, while the area in this crop is larger than usual. There is only about one-sixth the acreage in corn that we have in hay, but the tonnage per acre is six times as great in one ease as in the other. If we have~a������v open fall, thus permitting of the full maturity of the corn, the increased yield in this crop may pretty well offset the shortage in the other coarse fodder. Peas, which had been steadily de- slining in acreage up to 1904, have Bince shown n rapid increase, and tho area in this crop in the present sea-' 9on will probably be one-fourth greater than that of three years ago. At present, the promise is for an excellent yield in 'peas. Barley again, of which we will probably have 800,000 acres this year, seems- as- if it will go somewhat above the average in yield per acre. If the season had been a normal one for all fall wheat we would probably have had'eight hundred thousand acres in this crop, but a great deal of the land intended for the production of fall wheat has been drilled in with barley, and this, while it means a shortage in flour, will add considerably' to the available supply of feedstuffs. But after all allowances are made, there will undoubtedly be a material shortage in feed in. 1907, as compared with recent years. So far as grain is concerned ' Ontario will, ^is our correspondent "Vim" said recently, have practically none for export this year. Our,- dependence in products for sale will have to be on butter and cheese, bacon and beef cattle, and the cost of making these ,will be higher than usual because of the high "values which will undoubtedly, be placed on feedstuffs. On the whole, this will be a lean year for Ontario fanners. THE POISONS MUST BE REMOVED From the System���������Both Kidneys and Bowels Are Restored To Action By DR.

Did we learn our rule of. three and our Euclid from IpdiaY- Researches have brought to light astronomical tables In India which-must have been constructed by the principles of, geometry. Some are of the opinion that 'they have been .framed from observations made not less than 3,000, years before the Christian era, and' if this opinion be well, founded,the science of geometry must have been- cultivated in In-' dia to a considerable extent long before the period assigned to Its origin In the west, so that many of the elementary propositions may have been brought from India to Greece. The Indians have a treatise called the "Surya Sidhanta," which professes to be a revelation from heaven communicated to Meya, a man of great janctity, about 4,000,000 years ago. This book contains a rational system of trigonometry which differs entirely from the Hrst known In Greece and Arabia. In fact, It Is founded on-a geometrical theorem which was not known to the geometricians of Europe before the time of Victa, about 200 years ago. And It employs methods of demonstration unknown to the Greeks, who used others. The former have been attrib-- uted to tlie Arabs, but It Is possible they have received this improvement in trigonometry as well as the numerical characters from India.

King Edward and his Government, as well .as t>"3 Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Society havt' just administered a very severe snub to King Leopold by declining to take any part whatsoever in the International Polar Congress, which the Belgian monarch ha'S- endeavored to organize at Brusse's, and for which he had addressed invitation to the vari ous foreign Governments and geographical societies. This being tht- case, the project will come to grief the more so as several other foreign Governments are certain to follow thf lead of King Edward in the matter. King Edward and his subjects arf prompted in this- affair not only bj their strong disapproval^ of the polic> -of-King-Leopold,-with -regard-to-thr Congo problem, which is becomim more and more acute, but also b?-' cause theydo not see why he should have any voice in an internationa. polar congress. Belgium is not, strictly speaking, a maritime power. But if the congress- were held in"his-'capital, and neces sarily under his presidency, it would be difficult to exclude him from par ticipating in the deliberations orfron. the advantages accruing to the na tions represented at the convention What these advantages are may b- gathered from the fact that the object of the congress is nominally for th������ organization of-a system of international expeditions of discovery to thi Arctic and Antarctic regions, but 'in reality to determine the ownership ol Spitzbergen and other no man's landf in the polar regions, participatinp them among the powers most* chiefly concerned���������such as Great Britain, tb" United States, Norway, Denmark and Russia. King Leopold with his insatiate greed for land, would, if the polar con gress were held at Brussels, find sorw means, throuch intrigue, of establish ing a foothold in the Arctic and An tarctic, and after the experiences of Great Britain and the other signntor ies of the Berlin treaty of 1834 witl- Leopold in regard to the Congo there is none of them'4hat would be will ing to entrust him with the adminis tration of land, even'in the frozer wilds of the Arctic and Antarctic circles. The common ailments, while few, are liable to.arise at any time. The best-kept horses, and those receiving the least care, are ^ alike liable to the ordinary troubles," as spavins, ringbone, splint, curb,--'lameness, cut3 and bruises. It is well _ for horseowners that these diseases all yield -to the same remedy. This dependable remedy which is very inexpensive-is Kendall's Spavin Cure.'
