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.

Those present were Mayor Gulley, Aldermen Jenkin, Kerr, Mowat, Taylor bud KiDg. The Provincial Department of Public Works reported the road between the north and south boundaries of the city classified as a primary road. Alderman Kerr wa8 asked to obtain further information from the Department relative t-oiihe above proposal. The streets committe reported a breakage in the Twin Creek flume causing considerable damage to the streets. Work is proceeding on the repairs and it will be necessary to re.cover the flume from Long Lake St. to Copper St. l A committee composed of Aldermen Mowat, King and Je_kin was appointed to locate a suitable site for the placing of the guns and war trophies now iu possession of the city. The G. W. V. A. will cooperate with the Council in endeavoring to make suitable arrangements for the formal ceremony which will take place at a later date. The clean-up days were reported to have been a great success and all householders carried out the wishes of the Council in thiB matter.- The next session of the Council will be held on May 23. Grand Master, M. L. Grimmett of .Merritt, accompanied by Major F. E. Glossop, District Deputy, paid an official visit to the Masonic Lodge on-Tuesday night. Quite a number came over from Grand Forks. Don't forget the School Bazaar on June 3rd. The boys and girls will be looking for you at their Sale-of_-Work and Concert in the evening. Bush's orchestra will play for the Dance following, Keep this date open! The accident at the section house last week was caused by the falling bf a box of blasting caps from a shelf. * C. A, Carlson is doing nicely,>but O. Scholberg had to be taken to Spokane and has lost one of his eyes. Oh vFriday night the water flume on Greenwood street near the City Hall burst and for awhile threatened to wash out several buildings in its mad rush. As it is it played havoc with the street. Great praise is due Mayor Gulley, who with" a few helpers worked _unt_il _ after __one o'clock to save further damage from being done. It may be doubted if any rural community in Canada has such an array of musical talent as Greenwood. The district is indeed fortunate in the possession of so many talented musicians and vocalists. An organization such as the Greenwood orchestra is an asset of incalculable value. Like the leveu iu the lump its tendency is to influence the whole community towards a love of good music. Like the magnet it will attract others of similar tastes. Some day . a . choral society may be developed, fit mate for an orchestra which has not only justified Its existence but has undoubtedly "won its spurs," For many .people the cities have, in their opportunities for the enjoyment of music, an irresistable attraction. But population does not count for everything. A dramatic club could be organized for future delectation. Music and the drama have their devotees' and exponents. The future" may yet see literary ' clubs and debating ��� societies in our midst. .One could Wish that those with time, means, inclination and ability for leadership could multiply .among us. The ,field;lies fallow, before them. , Slqcan mine workers have voted to accept a cat in wages of,75 cents per day, thus trying to meet the operators half way in. reducing coats. - On the other b&d the operators have reduced .'the rate of board from $1.50 to $1.25 per day. Kettle Valley Notes Mrs. K. Davies, who recently scalded her foot severely, is able to be about once more.. Mrs. Harrison, of England, is visiting her daughters, Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Roberts. Robfe. Bruce is busily engaged hauling ties once more. He has about 1500 to haul from his ranch on Nicholson creek, a distance of seven miles. Joseph Richter and daughter, Juanita, motored from here to Keremeos on Sunday, on a business trip in connection with the Richter estate. Mrs. Thorburn left the Valley by Saturday's train for an extended visit to England, and instead of a six months trip it will most likely run into the new year. - Mrs. Geo. Lee returned from a six months visit to England, on Friday's train. George didn't say so, but the writer believes he was tired of his own cooking. Dr. Burnett, of Greenwood, "paid a professional visit to tho Valley on Friday for the purpose of oper-. iting on Muriel Thompson who was suffering from a lip tumor. The operation was most successful and the child is well again. On Friday evening Winifred, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.. H. Whiting, was taken to the Grand Forks Hospital. She was successfully operated on by Dr. Kingston for appendicitis, the following morning and is doing as well as can be expected. There will be.a most interesting and well contested Hockey match on May 2_th, between picked teamB from Ingram Mountain-and Kettle Valley clubs. It is understood that each side will use four female and seven male players with Major- Davies acting as referee. A farewell Smoking Concert, for Mr. Ames, was held in the Cooperative Hall on Thursday last as a token of appreciation of his efforts -as manager. A goodly crowd assembled and a real good time was spent by all present. Mr. Ames is returning to his home at Moleon and is succeeded by Mr. Telfer of Ocean Falls. On Friday last, thieves entered the home of Henry Madge, getting away with a new out-fife of clothing and a goodly supply of foodstuff. Luckily Henry was away at the time running bis .new Ford flivver otherwise he might have kissed goodbye to ���it also. Hank- says "By heck! That's narthin,' I'm used to it now." This is the third visitation-paid him"by ~"khig_its~6f the road" In closing the writer wishes to remind all in this district of the Concert and Dance to be held at Riverside Hall on the 13th. An A 1 time is guaranteed, and a fnlly good programme is already doped out consisting of talent from Greenwood and local points, and the Dance���well you all know what a Riverside Dance is. The pro ceeds are being donated to the K. V. School library���a good cause��� the kiddies need the books, you need the enjoyment which is guaranteed you on Friday next. So come one, come all.

A Midnight Romance - The Greenwood Theatre, on Saturday, May 14, will^ present Anita Stewart in "A Midnight Romance," a thrilling story of mystery, romance and bewildering situations. This is' the second of- the'series of new special feature, productions in which Miss Stewart is starred. On behalf of the City Council I desire to take this opportunity of thanking all those' citizens who so-loyally answered~the���call on clean up days. It is most encouraging to myself and councillors to see the interest that was manifested and I am sure all feel the better for having joined in making Greenwood look brighter and healthier. There are still a few. outstanding places that have not been touched, but those places will be cleaned up when the owners can get round to it. Again thanking you, I am Yours sincerely, ' T. M.

L. ritten Exclusively For This Paper When Mary returned from boarding school to the white cottage where her mother lived in thc little country town about sixty miles from a large city, she was just nineteen, vivid, strong and beautiful. Her mother, who. had struggled through the years in a vain battle with poverty looked her over approvingly, appraising her youth, bloom and vigor as so many assets in the marriage marke't _t'was to this end that Mrs. 'Valentine cultivated thc acquaintance of James Holcomb, a blase man of the world with keen, humorous, discerning eyes, but with a heart which was old, much older-than thc fifty years to which hc privately confessed. And so trying to call back the youth which age, in an unprofitable life, always regrets, James Holcomb, attracted by Mary's fresh bloom and beauty assiduously courted her. And as hc showered his attentions upon her and plied her mother with gifts Mrs. Valentine smiled approvingly, "Thank God," shc thought, "Mary shall never know the meaning of grinding poverty, and perhaps it will come to an end for me," But Mary had already giyen her heart, Since shc was a tiny, white frocked mite shc had been friends with Tom Daly who had grown into a tall upstanding six foot young man of twenty-three. Tom was a mar- ke.t gardener.. To see the- two' saunter down the Main'Street of the little town on a warm .summer afternoon, she sweet and,fresh and lovely and hc upright, --.well-made' and. vigorous. was a-sight-upon, which -the' Gods might smile. - Arid Mary as she saw" the v/hite"firc of the" glance "which hc" sometimes bent.upon her knew that he offered' her thc most acceptable and beautiful' thing in the world,-the first love of his young manhood. ..But he was.poor and Mrs. Valentine .'bade her sternly to put him put of her ���he.was only nineteen and her| comb containing a jgift-.'of $100,000.00 as __._-, wedding . .present' and .-.asking' them-,' in their' happiness, io -sometimes remember him. .'- " ~ .V "'' :". - '���'- ""* ". -'���'* '���' '���"* - V *' '.-'���' : : .And .the, cottage of the Daly's con- -taiiis much of human happiness.-Mary" insisted upon'" living there,- for: a year at least/because ..she;knew.;that.

Only Tom Daly did not discuss thc matter; only he remained silent when the others chatted. Some of them knew of his wound and some were sorry, but the general opinion seemed to be that he had aspired too high; that Mary could never have been happy with him, but in thc stubborn pride of his youth he thought lie could havc made her far happier than she could ever bc with her elderly suitor. But he would make no move, nor say one word hc thought doggedly. He was poor and Mary wanted riches. If she had only been willing to wait, but no, shc didn't and he felt that his life was wrecked,. * .. * :. That evening hc sat smoking quietly before his little open fireplace. Tlie shadows were falling outside and everything was quiet and still. He often _at like this of late until thc dawn, conjuring up pictures of Mary as he knew her and loved her, Marias lie heard of her in her triumph in the great city, and most darkening thought of all, Mary as that other man's wife. To outsiders he was stern and non-committal, almost unnaturally so for such a young man,, but sorrow is a great teacher. Now, however, he laid his pipe on the table and let his head sink into his hands. It was thus that Mary saw him as she crept up thc garden path and look-id in at the lattice window. When she saw him she opened the door and rushed in crying. "Tom I couldn't do it, I couldn't keep it up. If it gave me so much misery for a few months just to bc engaged it suddenly came to me what carry it on through the years, and so a heart-breaking thing it would bc to I came. Mother is at home now. 1 could not wait until morning though, I had to come to see you tonight." .- And for the first time Tom held his heart's desire in his'arms, and the light, that never .shone on".land or sea shone on both .their youthful faces, -,. And so instead of a wedding,in the big city, .Mary, and Tom were very quietly married at, .the - parsonage. Thcy would be very poor Tom knew' and he could'not-help a pang as he rcaclizcd how much Mary' had given up for, him',-but'he-determined that never had'man worked as'he would work to make it.up to her. ...Then they bo.th received -a great -surprise in the shape, of a.lcttc'r from-James Hol- Is Second in the List of the World's Lumber Producing Countries.

Canada is second in the list of the world's lumber producing countries, her annual production being about 4,- 000,000 M.F.B.M. ' The total exports of pulp and paper for the, last current year arc valued at $1.3,000,000. If pulpwood exports arc added, it brings thc total to $178,- 000,000 as compared with $107,000,- 000 for 1919. Thc government estimate of last current year's total mineral production is $200,000,000. Thc estimated .value of gold production is placed at $16,000,000 and thc estimated value of coal production is $70,000,000. Agricultural products take first place amongst Canada's exports for the 'last twelve months, according to the trade statement from thc Bureau of Statistics for period ending January 1921. Thc total value of agricultural products exported was well over $550,000,000, in a total exportation of Canadian- products valued at $1,235,- 000,000.

HABIT Copyright, 1921, by Rea Proctor McGee. Habit is simply cultivated instinct. It is jusi as easy to cultivate good habits as it is to cultivate bad ones if you start right. Thc habit of cleanliness is one that stays for life, because it is comfortable and gives a feeling of respectability. Every child that has been taught to take care of its wonderful little body, to wash hands and face and ears and teeth and take baths and to know<the happiness of clean clothes, will carry that- habit through life. The personal habits that we form in our first twelve years are thc ones that mould our personality. That is one of thc reasons for beginning good habits early, particularly with the teeth. Children's mouths should bc examined every three to six months. All cavities should be filled and every stain should be removed. If temporary teeth are allowed to decay, food will pack in between them and make thc gums sore. Then thc food will bc chewed upon one side of the mouth until thc other side becomes tender and thc poor little fellows try to mince thcir food with their front teeth. It is impossible for anyone to masticate���that is, to chew his food���properly, with his front teeth alone. If thc food is not well chewed and mixed with saliva, digestion is very difficult. . A great deal of energy is wasted in trying to digest food that is sent to thc stomach in chunks. Nature tries to develop every child into a healthy adult.

'-Constructive Colonization Project Gn iapre than one occasion during the past two or three years, in fact ever since the signing of the Armistice turned men's thoughts and energies from war back to the pursuits and activities of peace, articles have appeared in this column laying emphasis upon the importance, yes, the urgent necessity, of a large increase in the number of living upon and producing from the land. Thc.view has been advanced without the slightest fear of successful contradiction that the only solution for Canada's huge national problems is to be found in increased population; that is, increased population definitely and actively engaged in the primary industry of producing new wealth out of the undeveloped natural resources of the Dominion���the; chief and most easily, worked of which are the now unoccupied but fertile agri- '" cultural lands of the West, It requires no great far-sightedness to arrive at the above opinion. Any intelligent student of conditions and affairs cannot help but sec it, nor need . he be a very deep student at that. Canada's billions of public debt occa- ;: ���= sioned by; the war can only be carried, and ultimately liquidated, through the taxes paid by tlie people. But taxes cannot" be paid unless people have - money, ard money is not made merely by the act of trading in existing ... commodities. New wealth must bc created, and it can only be created by /��� production from, first the land, and secondly, from the other undeveloped natural resources���thc mines, the.forests, the fisheries, etc. ���, Every new settler placed on thc present unoccupied lands of Western Canada means��� ������ '��� ���-._.,��� An additionaL produce* of new wealth. -,. \ 2. Another taxpayer to carry a portion of thc public debt whether that \ debt bc represented'by the national war bill, (b) provincial, (c) municipal, (d) school. 3. Increased ability and 'power to provide needed facilities such as schools, highways, bridges, telephones and other public services. 4. Closer settlement, with doctors, hospitals, nurses, churches, postal��>j services, and all the advantages of modern community life nearer at hand. 5. An assurance of an increased volume of traffic for railways and other transportation systems, and consequently largely increased revenues ; and decreased operating deficits, and at the same time reduced, passenger .'.- and freight rates. . V 6. As the natural and inevitable sequel to the above, added value to every acre of land in the whole country. If thc settlement of the now, unoccupied lands.pf thc West means the ' bringing of these decided reforms and advantages, and the solution of now ' heavy pressing national problems of finance and taxation, surely all Governments, public bodies, and people generally, should not merely welcome, but unitedly support anything and everything carefully designed and or- ... ganized with the avowed object and sole purpose of encouraging and promoting colonization and settlement for productive use of thc unoccupied lands of this-country... In thc daily and weekly press during the past week there appears-the full text of a ������������memorandum recently submitted to the Provincial Govcrn- -' m'ents of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta by the managing director of the Western Canada..Colonization Association, in which arc set forth the . '���> studied convictions of that organization as to the steps it is now ne'eessary to take in order to turn the tide of immigration of experienced agriculturists , to Western Canada. .That���'memorandum is deserving of.thc careful study of every man in these Western Provinces who has his own, his neighbor's, j and his country's success and prosperity at heart. It is to be borne in mind.that the Western Canada Colonization-Association is not a money-making, dividend-paying concern. By its charter .' from Parliament it is precluded from making any profits for itself, Rather- it is like the Exhibition Association in these. Provinces���abody of men who "havc contributed money with a public spirit and a broad vision. Ex-' hibition Associations cannot pay dividends; ihefr work is the fostering and . "developing of their, respective communities. Men who take. a share of stock in an Exhibition Association and give of their time and effort to the success of such undertaking; do so wWi the knowledge that their return '.: and reward can, only come through the advancement and increased prosperity of thc whole community. In that way, and that-way only, can thcy reap profit from thcir money and thcir work.. > So, too, with the Western Canada Colonization Association. Only in its case the whole West.is its field. The plan outlined by this Association is not fantastic, but plain and simple and practical. It is asking no money J ."grants from Governments; only for practical co-operation through Icgisla-j "��� ' tibn^arid Government departments.' Its"plan certainly appears to be worthy i . of a trial, and to merit the support of Governments in the first instance,, and sympathetic co-operation by the people once the plan is officially adopted and the machinery for thc carrying out of thc scheme'actually set in motion.

As a body it has many members, each with a definite 'ministry or function.--. Many members are essential to a body or organism. So it is with the church. Each member has' its own gift and office. The proof of this oneness is that by the-sovereign act of the Holy Spirit all bclievcTS are constituted one body'(v. 13). A multiplicity of organisms does not make a body, but a multiplicity of members with their separate functions. There is no room for jealousy or discontentment among them (vv. 1-, 16). It would be as reasonable for the foot to complain of its lot and refuse to ���function as a foot, as for one member of a church to envy the place of another.

Receiver for Forest Mills In December, 1918, with the ap jroval an endorsement of the gov- Hospital Phone 90. Residence Phone 69 .^rnment of the live great powers Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan and the United States, a committee of their Red Cross Societies was constituted, "to formulate and propose to the Eed Cross Societies of the world, an extended program of Red Cross activities in the interests of humanity." As a result, a League of Red Cross Societies is today organized, and in addition to the five powers already mentioned, it now includes in its membership, 26 of the other civilized powers of the world. This League of Red Cross Societies was created to: Organize and stimulate, throughout the world, Red Cross peace activities; establish close co-operation between all Red Cross Societies; fight dit eases and spread health; develop existing Red Cross Societies and build up new ones; serve as universal clearing house for Red Cross work in peace time. It has directed and developed anti-typhus campaigns In Eastern Europe; organized membership campaigns for Red Cross Societies; instituted nursing services; created public health scholarships; sent out missions to study means of relief. It is organizing a world campaign against communicable disease; promoting child welfare; training public health nurses for service where most needed; building up in both hemispheres the Junior Red Cross; spreading public health propaganda through pub lications, films, lectures, etc., etc. It will enlarge tbe field of Red Cross work.; mobilize relief workers in case of national calamities; keep Red Cross Societies in close touch with one another; ensure the universality of the Red Cross; create a new sense of human fellowship. For the first time in' its history, therefore, civilized humanity, as a whole, is declaring relentless warfare against disease, famine, and the other devastating forces which are working for its downfall. In this fight, the League of Red Cross Societies serve as a general headquarters to direct the campaign. Communication The announcement of appointing a receiver, for the. Forest Mills and the authorization of, the receiver to borrow $100,000, has come aa good news to loggers and others, . on the. Kettle river. . In . referring to the Forest Mills;Ltd., ., a Vancouver report says: "G. F; .Gyles, Vancouver .manager of Price, Waterhbuse & Co., has been appointed receiver of the Forest Mills of British Columbia Limited.. The latter, incorporated in 1912 with a capital of $500,000, is owner of extensive timber limits in southern British - Columbia and sawmills at Taf t'." and Tree River, on. the main line^'of the C. P. R. near Itevelstoke and at Nelson. None of .these mills have been operated for some years, .but. the company is operating a mill' near Cascade on the Kettle river. . .

The continual, supply of logs .is essential if thp mill's.operations are notto.be interrupted..T . On."-.behalf."of Sir; Lionel it was contended before7Mr. Justice Morrison, who;made the receivership order, that the realizable assets of the company comprise sawn lumber .and.this could only be sold at the present time at. sacrifice, prices. - Because of the mortgage and trust ���deed the company has found great difficulty in borrowing from the 5 banks.-,. ��� The court authorized the receiver to borrow" $100,000,. which is.to be used! in liquidating the"demands pf the logging contractor. Sir Lionel . Fletcher offered to arrange the loan of this sum as "an advance to the receiver. .'. V When ���'".the v onler, was. made couaselannounced to faislordship that payment; of the debenture stock would not be accelerated, and thai tbe appointment of a receiver was solely for the purpose of reorganizing the company." Deak Mr. Editor, Please allow me a little space in your valuable paper. Why is the Curfew Law not enforced? lam sure that, ouiv jBLouprable Mayor and Councillors, understand what it means for children to be on the streets until a very late hour. .1 know they realize it, that is why 1 .am appealing to tbe'm, and I am sure they.will do everything within reason for the future welfare of the boys and girls of.Greenwood. Now Mr. Editor. I know our boys and girls are not any different here than in other towii8,- they love to be out in God's great "out of doors" but the question is,. "Sow. long will they stay ont', where are they and what are they doing?" This is the thought .of a great' many mothers, so jet us hope-that in the very near future we shall hear thfe .ringing of the Curfew Bell, calling oiir boys and girls into their homes at a decent hour.
