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.

City Council The City Council metiu regular session on Monday evening, Mayor Gulley presiding and present Aldermen Kerr, King, Morrison, Mowat and Taylor. After transaction *of routine business the reports of different committees were considered. The inquiries made by the solicitors of the City Trustee of Vancouver regarding the electric power franchise had been satisfactorily dealt with by the chairman of the Lighting committee and the City Clerk and the Council endorsed the correspondence. The activities of the Water committee during the past month were shown in the detailed report presented and great credit is due for the manner in which the water question was handled during the extreme hot weather and consequent water shortage. Twin Creek reservoir proved to be the safe standby for water supply and by well-thoughtdut manipulation of the differeut mains it has been possible to keep a steady reserve .of water for emergencies with the minimum inconvenience to the public. " Aid. Mowat, as chairman of Streets committee brought forward a strong recommendation for the erection of silent policemen at the principal cross streets. After- a thorough discussion the Council decided to accept the recommendation and the work will be put into effect after fin.a.1 details have , been settled. The Councillors* were unanimous in their decision to put down speeding through the town and the dangerous cutting of corners by careless ", motor drivers. The chief of police was instructed to investigate and., act upon acomplaint made of interference with the poundkeeper whilst in the performance of his' duty, this being a serious' offence and entailing a .heavy fine as penalty. A vote "of thanks was passed to the ladies who interested themselves in the cemetery.upkeep,and to the willing workers who went out on a "working bee to-~the cemetery on July 16th. Matters pertaining to the Fire Department were dealt with and recommendations as.put'forward wfere approved and the work of repairing hose-houses, etc, will be carried out. An application for purchase of Lot 9, Blk 4, Map 34" was refused owing to the purpose for, which it ,was_ intended using the- lot,- being at variance with'the policy laid down' by the Council concerning-same. A request from the Union of B. C.

I can't tell of the pride il. would'give me lo think 1 had done something tot' Hilr country, for which my pride is unspeakable." These words came at lhe'conclusion of an address filled with optimism for the ninny of Canada, but urging .as an essential, national unity and the I>u(citi�� of Idealism into the minds of the rising generation. "f know'that Canada is going ahead," declared His Excellency, "and that the spirit that emanated Irom small pla'-es where the Canadian units formed and spread to baua'icns nd divisions overseas, slill exists among the Canadian people. But ve mu.-.i *.������.��� eye to eye, for without unify Canada cannot become a real nation." It 7!aror P-yug. an Englishman, whose duties necessitate his residence in Catiada for .wily five years, feels this way about llie Dominion, and is imbued whit thij dos-ire to do something lor Canada, how much more intensely should" uaiiM-borii Canadians, and ihose who have chosen Canada by adoption as their pirmaneut homeland, fuel towards this .Dominion, and how anxious they should be lr> "do something for Canada." And, after all, that is just, what Canada needs, that her sons and daughters should strive to do someihing for her. For" a time a tendency.towards paternalism swept over -t.hi.t- country when the doctrine-seemed lo find ready acceptance that it was ilie -business of the Government or State to look after ihe p.-'oplc nil her than that the people should look after and promote the wei- fare of the Slate and thereby promote the well-being and advancement of all. No doubt lhe war was largely responsible for this tendency, because, while that grim confiicl'-was being waged, it becam.e necessary for the State to call upon the entire citizenship to fight for ils and their preservation, and while in lhe army every man's slighlost want was'provided for by Govern- nie.n and Ids dependents cured ior by Government in his absence. War made these things necessary, but a continuance of war policies would mean national bankruptcy, aud Slate paternalism carried io an extreme inevitably means nuMonnl disintegration. Fortunately, popular b"Iiof in the efficacy of State aid for this, that and tho ether thing is on the wane. People-have learned that the Government is, after all, themselves, and that it is impossible to lift oneself by the boot- straps. The slogan of today is r.ol "Wait and'sec what the Government will do." but "Do something yourself, for yourself, and for the counlry." H is selfish doing for oneself only.

The late Dr. Steinmetz, before his death, claimed that the average bolt of lightning wv.s no greater iu power than the energy stored up in, a pint of gasoline. At the rate paid for electric lights in cities with which he was familiar the average streak of lightning was not wo'-lli ?l; on the basis of prices paid for power, uot over 20 cents. .i_. The same authority had it figured out that a person with a very small gas engine could make as much electricity for 80 cents worth of gas as was developed_in an average thunderstorm, e It's very interesting to have it all worked out on that basis; it might even make a timid person resolve uot to be afraid of any GO-cent electrical storm, yet there would be the tnental reservation that.it would be much nicer to make one's own supply of electricity rather than have it shot at him from the heaven3.���St. Thomas Times- Journal.

As a lion was the father this remarkable animal will be known as a "liger," and as it is a freak and very rare it ought lo be of great interest to visitors. Owing to the natural distribution of-the lion and tiger, hybrids are rarely bred outside menageries, and it is extremely diflicult to get llou and tigress���or a tiger and lioness���to agree together in captivity. The Zoo has never tried the experiment .of putting-lions and tigers iu the.same cage, and there is so much natural sympathy and antipathy between Individuals that it is often diflicult to find suitablcy mates for the large cats even among their own kind. 'i'liis particular liger has come from Prince Itanjltsinhji's estate in India, where it was bred" and reared, and where lions are- preserved and often kept with tigers. These hybrids vary a great deal tn appearance and temperament, some favoring one parent more, some the other. The Zoo's liger is a particularly fine specimen, being beautifully proportioned, and as tall, if not taller, than Rajah/the largest of the tigers at the Zoo. AL a glance he looljs most like a tiger, for he inherits Iiis walk and tho shape of his body from his mother. But the color of his head' and body is the sandy-brown of thc lion,, with tiger stripes showing in parts. ' His head is an odd mixture of both parents. It is shaped like that of a tiger, but the eyes are the amber eyes of 'the lion. On the head and round the neck are a few- hairs that would like to" be a mane, and very distinct on this sandy head are the black and white striped ears thai, so characterize the tiger. Thc tai" is shaped like a tiger's, with the well-known lion's tuft ���on. the end. He is a young animal, and may not yet be fully grown, and; like all cats borr in captivity or semi- captivity, he is a little spiteful. He has been given an outdoor cage, at the Zoo, so that he will have every chance of keeping'well, and healthy. Unfortunately, he refuses to show himself at present, and sits in his box gazing at ��� the crowds ..through the small hole. ._i ���. :< .: this beverage has individual ity-r- distinctive charm.

Where Divorce is Cheap Russians Cali Obtain Them For $1.50 ���" ~ f n-Few-Minutes���; ������ ' Soviet Russia offers far more advantages to persons seeking easy ancl quick divorces than perhaps any place in thc world. Under a new decree a divorce can.be had within five minutes at a cost of $1,50, provided both parties agree to the dissolution of the marriagt. ties. If, however,.one party object^ to dissolution, the case muse be referred to the courts, which" will decide the question on'its merits. - Misconduct does not constitute a valid reason for the annulment of marital ties, butf, desertion, religious superstition, exesisive religious piety, incompatibility, of temperament and divergence in. political views are held to be sufficient causes. No Russian may, obtain, a divorce and re-marry more than three times within one year. tn coKsequvnce of the flexibility of the Soviet civil code covering domestic relations, divorces in tho Moscow district increased by"43 per cent, dur ing the first six months of 1924 .as compared with' 19?2. 7 The Only Elixir Of Youth' There-is but one elixir ofvouth that is any good.

Theee has been much controversy as to the advisability of encouraging nature study in our schools. Many seem to think it so much time", wasted when the teachers spend and hour or so pointing out and explaining the beauties of Mother Nature, to our children. Yet how much more pleasure will they find when out walking or,, picnicing to know the wants and habits of the various birds, insects, flowers and trees. It also teaches them to be kind to. these little creatures when they have, an in -teresfe and understand, their ways. How often have we seen, boys in . particular, illusing birds, and other, creatures simply .thru', ignorance, whereas had they been taught, the various uses these little people .-of the air and earth,,they would-have fa greater respect and love for them. That grand old 7gentleman the late William Ewart Gladstone said "I thinkthatthe neglect-of Natural History was the; grossest -defect7of our old system of .training, for.the ^youngV.and further fthat,.little or ; nothing has been/done by the way of. remedy for that deefct in the 'attempts made, to alter or reform that syetem."
