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.

Dropping the reptile at Mrs. Hillyard's feet the cat ran away. In twenty minutes it was back with a dead blacksnake in its mouth.

Rkokxt events prove that there is many a slip between the ballot box, and the House of Commons. apples arc of tho sustonauce of tlie soul and whose leaves are for the the healing of the nations: and that thing is���������the Truth. God help the poor fools who live in a little world of their own, full of ardent credulities, firm loyalties, strong enthusiasm���������but without Facts. I'd rather know the Truth in a barnyard than love a Lie in a temple. It was the Liberals who defeated Laurier last week. With their vote tho result would be entirely different. Next week the leading excitement of Greenwood will print a real bear story that happened in the early days of Nakusp. Now both English and American capital will flow into Canada, and the whole world will have confidence in this broad and glorious Dominion. Fon the first time in the history of Canada the Government ,bas been defeated in good times. Evidently the Canadians have become a thinking people. Ix one hundred years from now there will be more than one hundred millions of people in Canada, and no living man can disprove this statement. Fuo.m reading the Grit papers before the 21et of this month, we were led to believe that it was impossible to defeat the Laurier Government. .However since the agony is over we are inclined to think that it is better not to boast before your chickens are hatched. The 'election last Thursday proved that there is nothing more uncertain than elections, unless it is horse racing. No one expected that the Government would be defeated by such a large majority, and it is plain to be seen that the Canadians did not wish Taft and Laurier to finish their work. Thinking Themes Conscience is a good thing and, like all good things, dangerous. The crimes that have been committed by men who knew they were doing wrong have not been so fearful an the crimes by those who thought they were doing right. Canon Goto said a wise thing when ho declared that "a man's duty is not to follow his conscience but to educate it." A little soul holding on like a bulldog to the tail-end of a great principle, and whip-cracking about among his fellows as he follows that principle around in its huge curves, is a deadly menace. That supreme, life-and-death loyalty to the right, which has been so much praised, is not always good. Sincerity, faith and devotion are essentially relative terms. And whether they are of service to the soul itself, or to the race, depends entirely on that which is tho Object of the said devotion, faith and sincerity. There's only one thing in this universe of men and near- men that is always Good, full of health, soundness and poace, whoso Potatoes Wanted. The Provincial Government has decided to make a display of potatoes at the American Land and Irrigation Exposition to be held at Madison Square, New York, on November 3rd-12th. Asabel Smith of Ladner has been appointed Commissioner to arrange for the collection and preparation of this exhibit and will also accompany it to New York. The preparation of the exhibit will be undertaken at New Westminster, from which place tho exhibit will be shipped to New York. In order to allow latitude to Mr. Smith, who will have charge of the preparation of tho exhibit, it will be necessary that he receive at least fifty ponnds .of each variety of carefully named and selected potatoes and these potatoes must be chosen having reference to smoothness of skin, uniformity of size and flushnpss.of eye, and absolute freedom from all scab or blemish, and all potatoes must be received in New Westminster not later than October 14th. It is desired to make this exhibit as comprehensive as possible. The Still well Trophy Award, value $1,000, will be given by the Exposition to the best collection. It is the desire of the provincial department of agriculture that a big effort should be made to capture this trophy. This can only be done by the co-operation of the growers. The exhibit will be made up of as many varieties as possible, and not less than half-a-bushel of each variety. The yield of each variety per acre, which acre must be officially surveyed, must be sworn to by the growers and attested by two.or more reputable witnesses. Officials appointed by the department will bo considered sufficient authority iu surveying the land from which potatoes are taken. Arrangements are being made for two or three men to cover the whole of the province and visit the growers who wish to compete, in order to officially measure the ground from which tho potatoes are taken. Any potato growers in this district who aro willing to assist the department in making this exhibit are requested to communicate immediately with Asahel Smith, Ladner, B.C. The winning of this trophy will mean a great deal to the district in which the potatoes are grown, and the department hope to receive tho hearty co-operation of all potato growers in order to make the exhibit a success. Letters from Jane Ann Skibbokidok Nkuk Sjtha, N. B. Deak Ma,���������You better put a fatted calf on order and pull yourself together, so lo speak. I'm saying Good-bye to everybody and coming home once* more. I shan't shed no tears much over leaving Scawtland, ma, 'cause for one thing I'm getting fed up with nursing other people's kids, aud then Bert and I want to see a bit more of each other before the fine weather goes, and so on and so forth. One young person 'here said on account of me being so well known aud all that, it would be proper for jme to travel in cog., whatever that is. She reckoned I ought to go as La Princesso de Skibboridge. I had to tell her if that was meant for fun���������all right, well and good, but if not, she might have to travel in splints till her face got soled and heeled. ' Only fancy, mother, I'm a lot heavier than I was, only I don't seem to look it. One thing, when I get sat down somehow I can't get up-so quick's I used to, so p'raps the wait's got settled in some place where I don't notice it. I reckon Bert'll find me a handful, speshally if we go on the swings. Now, ma, I want you to see to the enclosed for me.

It seems a shame, don't it, aunt, 'cause everything so poeceful here, and when I go for walks and see naychur and things, I don't know how I shall manidgp. when I part. Though of course I shan't part till the last minnit, and not then if I can help it. I never do. You'll be glad to know I don't take no heed of worldly things, auntie. As for young men, what I say is, the more you see of 'em the less there is to look at. How some girls can go dotty about having a sweetheart I reelly don't know. Is'pose Adam's to blame for a good deal of it. Tho way he and his missis made <i mess of things ought to be Iw-son enough for anybody, I should think. Only try as you will you can't make some people see things in a right light. Of course, everybody's not like that. Poor father often used to see things in the dark, plain as anything. Used to tell us what they were like and ask us to shift 'em. Still, for all that, I think fifty's quite soon enough for any girl to trouble her head about getting married and so on. If mother had only consulted me I wouldn't have given my consent a day earlier. I shall be coming to see you soon's I get home, auntie, and if you want blistering or your chest rubbed; when the cold nights come, I'll always try to spare an evening. Your niece with fondest love, J. A. Hardwoods - Canada is dependent for its lumber supply on the soft woods of the forest much more than is the United States, as seen from the 1910 Forest Products report compiled by the Dominion Forestry Branch and shortly to bo published. Of 1910 Canadian Lumber cut amounting to nearly five billion feet, only one-twentieth consisted of hardwoods or broad-leafed trees, worth barely five million dollars; on the other hand almost one- quartor of the lumber cut in the United States consists of hardwoods, which country had far greater hardwood forests than ever did Canada. Canada is already feeling a shortage of the hardwood supply and makes up the national deficiency by importing annually from the United States, hardwood lumber to the value of seven and a half million dollars. Thus the value of the hardwoods imported into Canada during 1910 exceeded by 50 per cent, the value of the hardwoods manufactured into lumber. Nearly all of these imports are from the United States and consist of the most valuable species such as oak, hickory, tulip or yellow poplar, chestnut, gum, walnut, cherry and a large amount of hard pine which is so frequently used as a hardwood. From these above figures it is seen that we are becoming more and more dependent upon the United States whose available supply for export is surely and rapidly decreasing. Whatever can be done to improve the resources of Canada by the elimination of wood waste, aud particularly by the development of the small wood, lots of Ontario, Southern Quebec and the Maritine provinces, should be done with all possible speed.

Richard Harris, who lives at Sandy Grove, N.Y., was almost stung to death and drowned at the same timo. A cherry tree stands on the brink of Boyes Lake, near Ross- ville. Harris, who is a man grown, climbed the tree to pick cherries. After he had filled his pail he started to descend, and stopped upon a limb which broke beneath his weight, precipitating him and the fruit into the lake, which, near the bank, is from six to ten feet deep. On the tip of the limb was a large and active cojony of hornets, whose nest also Vent with tho limb, which float/1, while part of the nest was wet. The hornets resented the wrecking of their home and attacked Harris, who was struggling to swim ashore. So fierce was the attack that ho could not swim and fight the enemy at the same time. He had to keep himself afloat and repel the insects simultaneously. Occasionally he would duck his head under, but he could not long remain there.

C, | fmimmimmmmmmmmmmiimmiM Lemons Used For Food'and, Medicine There are few fruits which contain so many domestic virtues as the lemon, and yet, apart from its use as a flavoring medium as applied to one of the-many branches of culinary arts, the familiar yellow fruit meets with but scant appreciation by women of this country, says the London Daily Mail. The extracted juice has invaluable soothing qualities for persons suffering from throat or chest troubles. One of the homeliest, but not on that account to be despised, remedies for a cold is to drink a glass of lemonade as hot and strong as it can be swallowed when in bed at night. A profuse perspiration follows,- and provided the remedy is taken in time it is a famous cure. Lemon juice and honey are beneficial for coughs. The ordinary method is to mix the juice of the fresh fruit -with, equal parts of honey, but the better plan is to bake a large lemon in the oven until it is thoroughly soft, and then add sufficient strained honey to the pulp to produce a thick' syrup. This should be kept warm and a teaspoonful taken every quarter-of- an-hour will greatly relievo the patient. Pure glycerine may be substituted for the honey. An old stillroom recipe for the alleviation of an obstinate sore throat is as follows: Strain two teaspoonsful of lemon juice into a wine glass, add the unbroken yoke of a new-laid egg, then more juice, the whole to be swallowed without beating the mixture. Golfers and women who indulge iu outdoor exercises are often worried with tired and swollen feet. They will derive much relief if they rub their skin with equal parts of lemon juice and alcohol, well blended. The most obstinate corn can be cured, it is said, by the application of a poultice made of bread crumbs and lemon juice. A thin slice of the fruit takes the place of the poultice during the day, the process to be repeated as often as necessary. Eub chilblains with a slice of lemon dipped in salt. A small bottle of fresh lemon juice should be kept on every toilet table. It is useful to allay irritation caused by the stings and bites of flies and insects. A dash of it in water forms an excellent mouth wash, whitening the teeth and preventing the formation of tartar and sweetening the breath. The following is a simple recipe for a shampoo:���������Extract the juice from two lemons and boil this with r the peels for ten minutes. Strain the juice oh two ounces of salts' of tartar, add two quarts of warm water and a few drops of any approved perfume. Use as an ordinary shampoo wash and note the beneficial effect on the hair and skin. Women who are inclined to be "too, too solid," or who suffer from rheumatism or torpid livers, should take the'juice of half a' lemon squeezed into half a tumbler of water (without sugar) every morning instead of the customary early tea.

Tlie formation in the Big Tunnel changed during the past week, and the face is now all porphyry with considerable water coming in, the first encountered in 1,200 feet. This tunnel is now in over 3,000 feet, and work was stopped on Tuesday until the dozen or more stringers showing along tho tunnel can be developed with a view of shipping several carloads of ore. | B. C. MINING NEWS 1 Monty Davys will return to his homo in England next mouth. The Lilly B on Springer creek in the Slocan is under bond to Spokane men who are sinking a shaft 200 feet. Twelve men are ���������working with George Long as foreman. Intense excitement has been created at Hazelton by the arrival of Philip Han kin and Frank Martin, two prospectors from Hudson Bay mountain, in the Bulkely valley, with large samples of native silver, aud other samples weighing ten pounds,' 20 per cent, native silver. The operators of the Sterling mine at Yinir have just encountered over four feet of high grade ore, showing some galena, having got in under the rich showing exposed on the surface. The vein on the Jennie Bell has been found'in place and rich ore encountered, containing some galena. A recent assay gave ������119.50 over all, $57 of ���������which was in gold. The mining outlook at Yale is distinctly .improved. The early stories of rich strikes proved to be tho result of enthusiastic imagination only and many citizens were disgusted at what seemed certain to bring only discredit on the district. 'But now the local mining industry has at least three solid basis, the Yale Mining and Development company, the Si wash Creek Mines, Limited and the Hidden Creek, on a tributary of Si wash creek.���������West Yale Review. A Gordon French, the eminent mineralogist who was a factor in revolutionizing oro extraction in South Africa, has announced that tlie experiments which he has been conducting in Nelson, B. C, for some months, with a view to discovering satisfactory treatment of refractory zinc ores, ��������� have been crowned with success and that the recently formed^ French Complex Ore Reduction Company, Limited, has determined to erect at or near Nelson a large smelter for the treatment of ores by a new proces. Perhaps the most prominent feature of the present revival of interest in mining is the fact that so many of the old time mines are being reopened. The cause for this no doubt lies in the changing conditions of the day; in the fact that lower grade deposits may now be worked at a profit. This means also that as new deposits are opened up, they will in all probability return greater profits than' would have been tho case a few years ago. ���������Daily Mining Record. On the subject of diamonds in the Tulmeeu district Mr. Camsell, who was the discoverer, says he scill has hopes that a means will be found of saving them. Hitherto, when released from the pressure of the rock in which they are embedded, they have crumbled. Prof. Johnson, mineralogist of the department at Ottawa,, has savpd a few small ones by the simple device of enclosing them at once in a raw potato till the crystals adjust themselves to a gentler pressure. Mr. Camsell believes tha^wherever in British Columbia rock similar to that in tho Tulmeen occurs, diamonds will be found, but ho is still doubtful of their ever being profitably saved for commerce. EDITORS BE GOOD Postal cards are being'sent out from Halifax containing the following valuable advice to the editors of Grit journals: "Financial disturbance and social unrest is coming over Europe and America. Its effort on Canada will largely depend on you, the editors, as public teachers. If you condone corruption and propagate falsehood, whether through fear of mon or for gain to yourself or party, you are a blind leader of the blind. Honor God in your paper, aud he will shelter the country, for your sake, in the coining storm. Righteousness, not Riches, exalts a nation. What shall it profit a country if it gain the trade of the whole world, and lose the soul of its best ideals? By thy word thou shall be justified, and by thy words thou shall bo condemned." . Bird Protection tile GREENWOOD'S FAIR Nestled between hills in a fer- valley although somewhat narrow in places is situated Greenwood, B. C, the gateway city to the Similkameen valleys of British Columbia; a place that surprizes European visitors for its well built brick edifices, its many substantial and beautiful homes, its electric and water supply equipments and the up-to- date smelter and converter plants employing many men in the works and adjacent mines. What Nelson, B. C. is to the Kootenay country as a supply point, Greenwood is to the Bouudary. It is the district headquarters for the federal and provincial law courts and was one of the sections of the country drawn on by Spokane mine operators of a decade or more ago, that built the sky scrapers and palaces of the' mill iouaires of that burg of western boosters. The business men of Greenwood and vicinity organized under the provincial laws the Greenwood Agricultural Association and will hold their first annual fall fair in a hall built during 1910 at a cost of over $7,000. Substantial prizes are offered for fruit, poultry, vegetables, farm produce, live stock exhibits, fancy work, fine arts, floral, and home preserves displays. Amusement and entertainment will be afforded by football, horse races, foot races, children's games and sports of all kinds. A hearty welcome is extended to all visitors, and committees will be in attendance to receive and secure accomodation to all desiring the same. Visitors to the Spokane fair can purchase fare and a third tickets either coming or going via Midway, B. C. The dates for the Greenwood fall fair are Oct. 3, 4 and 5 next.���������Nelson News. Bjornson, the Norwegian poot, in a lecture on "Animals, Education and Religion," said: "At home, in Norway, we do not murder any of ��������� our song birds. Our children have for years banded themselves together in clubs to protect the birds' nests. But what we gain by this for our fields, gardens and woods is as nothing in comparison with what we gain for the education of our childron in weaning them from cruelty and making them tho protectors of the little birds. It teaches them to control their feelings,' and awakens enthusiasm for worthy causes. Their love of destruction we'change to magnaimity. We teach them to respect the economy of Nature as well as the life and property of others, thus giving their minds a direction which will one day promote the solidarity of nations." Up to the Times. When Colonel Roosevelt was in London, on his way back to the United States after his African hunting trip, he went to a luncheon given in his honor by some of the literary men and journalists. Before the guests went in to luncheon they stood around smoking and talking, and the Oolonel was presented to each in turn. One man there was a large, beefy- sombre leader-writer on the Times. He had the fate of nations on his shoulders aud looked as if he felt the responsibility. When tho Colonel was presented to the leader-writer ho bowed ponderously. The Colonel shook hands with him effusively, greeted him enthusiastically and then placed his hand on the leader-writer's shoulder. "Come," said Roosevelt to the leader- writer, -���������' you and I are IN' PRIZES IN PRIZE3 1ND OTHER ATTRACTIONS Do Something Jim It was an ambitiou s young fellow who left home and was not heard of for three years; at the end of that period he returned, and said that he had become an actor: in fact, he had procured a splendid engagement with a gentleman named Henry Irwin. The father was so overjoyed that he mustered a large party of friends, and they attended in a body at the Lyceum, which it* a theatre somewhere in London. The first act ended, but that man's son had not put in 'an appearance. The second act ended. Same result. The father was in an agony^of prespiration.

He didn't know whether the Colonel meant Samuel Johnson, Ben Jonson, Lord Jeffrey, Baron Jeffreys, or whom, so he stuttered and stammered and gave it up.

"To my amazement and distress and shame I now see the magnificent work of a generation traded away for a childish sentiment, the splendid commercial and industrial position we have'reached and our proud independence bartered for a few wormy plums, and I feel it my duty to join in the protest which is started from every station in the country, Today we are in an enviable position with a commerce three times as great per capita as that of tho United States, and without a cloud in our sky save the on'e which has just now been raised. Does not commonsonse fell u& to stay where wo are and to lot well enough alone?" RUDYARD KIPUNQ The Greatest Living English Author A small man, tanned and bronzed to a clear light mahogany, squarely built, with broad shoulders, keen blue eyes, heavy stralgbt eyebrows, a thick dark mustacho and square resolute jaw, dressed In clothes that shout defiance to fashion plates���������this is Rudyard Kipling. Alive, alert, aggressive and intense, quick in movement, a bit cynical and quizzical, ho at first suggests one thoroughly self-satisfied; ono who is his own court of appeals. At Bombay, the most cosmopolitan city of Asia, Kipling'was born in Christmas week of 1865. His father was an Englishman, a professor of architectural sculpture in a Bombay college, and, when Rudyard was six he was shipped back to England to be educated. At thirteen he entered the Untied Service College at Westward Ho, under tho direction of old Indian officers. The atmosphere was military and Indian, and was doubtless a potent factor in coloring the mind of the boy, who acquired more by unconscious absorption than by direct study. It is true that he carried off the prizes in English literature in a matter-of-fact kind.of a way, as if it were his assigned share of the plunder; but otherwise revealed no symptoms of genius. At seventeen he went to India to work on the "Civil and Military Gazette" at Lahore, where his talent began to be recognized in a-.half patronizing way by the editor-in-chief. Strange, however, the "Plain Tales from the Hills" which gave him his first European success, and his "Departmental Ditties'" were accepted under protest, to humor tho boy, rather than for any merit tho editors discovered. ���������'-'--' A man of supremo individuality, he has .the splendid courage of his convictions. He dared to lash England into a fight when tho Boer war seemed to him imperative; ho scourged the country ho loved for hor treatment of her ���������soldiers; he inspired thoso soldiers by his stirring, tingling llnps and martial stanzas, while Alfred Austin, tho Laureate, was writing pink-lemonade verses guaranteed to offend no ono. Then came his magnificent "Recessional"���������a new classic added to oiir literature. Kipling Is tho apostle of tho stronuous; he loves color and paints it with Jove; ho is thrilled by struggle, by power, by conquest. Ho shows man with tho primal instincts and passions, nature unvarnlshod. He is often blunt to brutality, fearless to the point of frenzy, but always sincoro, and always be.it when he lots the Oriental in his naturo keep him close to the India ho has r'o- "calcd to tho world as no other English -writer has over dono. <:i'������rnd icconlliiu to Ac! of tlm nirllunanl of Canada, la Uie /ear lUH.hy W. 0.
