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.

The Clerk will also draw up a report as required from one of tbe bondholders concerning the mining possibilities of the Greenwood district. J. A. Thomas the newly appointed Fire Marshall under the Fire Marshall Act passed by the Legislature last December and with head office in Vancouver, .notified the Council that the various sections i of tbe Act must be strictly enforced, otherwise the Municipality would have to bear the cost of one of the Fire Marshal staff undertaking the-^work. The Fire Chief T. Jenkin and the City Clerk were ordered to inspect hotels, stores and public buildings and report on same as required by Section 17 of the Act. The building committee reported excellent progress on the removal and cleaning up of various useless buildings. It was decided to ask the Liquor Vendor to make application to the Liquor Control board for the win-1 dow of the store to be painted and furnished with the well-known lettering of the Board. The Clerk reported certain com- plain ts of cattle and horses being at large and a nuisance in the city. The Found committee will -have a special meeting to decide the best methods to be undertaken to- have this nuisance abated. Methods on clean-up days were generally discussed and a special appeal is being made to all citizens to help to have this work done as thoroughly as possible.

Last PoBt at 9.30 p.m. ot Greenwood has had the privilege of liBtehing to such an excellent revue as that given on Friday night by the Rock Creek Amateur Dramatic Society, when they presented -'Magic Pills" to a crowded house, in aid of the Premier's Own Boy Scouts. There was no excuse for anyone failing to enjoy it from start to finish and the general verdict is that it was far better than the majority of professional shows that are travelling around the country. There was no long waiting between acts and the array of versatile talent, tbe beautiful singing and acting, the gorgeons scenery and costumes, vindicated the previous reports of this splendid revue. Much has already been said of the Bock Creek Amateur Dramatic Society, but really not enough praise can be given to each and everyone of the actors and actresses. There are 32 in the cast and although all did remarkably well and acted to perfection the parts alio ted to them, it is impossible to do justice ,���to the individual members in so small a space. The dancing was novel and attractive, the local hits were quite I in order, and the solos, duets, [ quartettes and choruses showed that no time and patience-had been spared to make them the best possible, and proved that Bock Creek is in possession of good artists. The scenery and costumes were particularly good and the final scene displayed a wonderful wealth of colour, when all the participants were on the stage at one time making a tableau that to the unitiated looked like the --League of Nations." Beantiful Spanish and Egyptian ladies, dainty and adorable Gheishas, flower girls galore, j dancing and singing and chatting with Brigands, Chu Chin Chow, Silk Merchants, Constantino, Tore- dors and Tourist Guides. This spectacle alone was worth seeing and Bock Creek need not be afraid to repeat, this performance in some of the larger cities." (The revue opened in au office in New York, CO.

The harbinger of a mining boom has started in Greenwood. Where there is smoke their is fire. There is much optimistic mining talk on the streets, many rumors and a number of leases and bonds taken.

H. L. T. Martin as lover and tutor to the wife it quite amorous In his affections and after many comical and hair-raising situations finally elopes to England with the wife, which compells the silk merchant to take another pill. Miss Gane, Mrs. Beed and Mrs. Hock as friends of the wife did their parts well and their singing was very much enjoyed.1 The Gheishas girls were Miss Debney, Mra. Bock, Miss R. Madge and Miss N. Beed. They looked very pretty in Japanese costumes and their dancing could not be better, j The Egyptian scene was an elaborate one with Commander Lewis as Chu Chin Chow, the chief of a band of robbers, and the chorus aung by the chief and his band of cattbroats was undoubtedly the best rendered of the whole lot. In this act the Misses M. and J. Caldwell danced beautifully a tambourine dance and brought forth much' favorably comment. Miss Hookham had an intricate part to act in this scene but she rose to the occasion with flying colours and her eastern dance in eastern coBtume came np to expectations as Miss Hookham's fame has already spread far and near. Mr. Norris and Mr. Bock sang solos acceptably. Mrs. E. Bichter, as Guila the stall keeper did her part well and her Egyptian costume was favorably commented upon. S. Pittendrigh took the part of the silk merchant bat the enormous wealth of Chu Chin Chow, was too great a temptation for his wife and so he had to take another pill, waking up In Spain. Special mention must be made cf W. Hatton whose singing and acting was par excellence. Between the first and second act he brought down ths house with --McGiaty's Goat" and also sang all the leading Creek might well feel proud of. Between the third and fourth acts the wolf cubs gave an exhibition of the cub howl. The scene of the final act was in Spain, here W. Hatton took the part of the silk merchant and had great difficulty in keeping track of his wife Carmine (Mrs. Atkinson) who was in love with Pedro, a Toreador (Capt. Atkinson) and tbe love scene by these two was very pretty as well as their duet, "If you were the only girl" Mrs. Atkinson and-Mrs.-Gane -danced - very gracefully, while the -'Cigarette Song" by Mrs, Bock and Mr. Hatton brought back fond memories by all present. At the end of the play P. H. McCurrach, as president of the Boy Scouts presented Mrs. Fen- wick Wilson, the author and who was .largely responsible for the huge success of the undertaking, with a beautiful boquet of pink and white carnations. Mr, McCurrach congratulated Mrs. Wilson and her troop on their Bplendid entertainment. ��� Little Tommy WalniBley, the youngest wolf cub presented the flowers. Commander Lewis fittingly replied for Mrs. Wilson stating the many difficulties there were in training such a large crowd but Mrs. Wilson's indomitable goodwill and perseverance surmounted all obstacles. Much credit is also due C. O. Bodman who did much of the $hankless work, such as arranging and getting the scenery and a hundred other little things incidental to getting snch a magnificent revue. Tbe dance following was also an enjoyable and successful affair. The Greenwood four piece orchestra made its first official bow. They had all the latest dance music and kept splendid time. The thanks of the public is also due to Mrs. B. O. Fisher whose playing on the violin was a treat rarely heard indeed, and to Mrs, Stapleton, Miss Shillcock and Gordon McMynn for filling in during the supper. An excellent supper was provided by the ladies of Greenwood and very dsintiy served bv - the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts are to be congratulated upon ths success of their efforts. They left nothing to be desired and it was owing to their hard work that everything went off so saecessfuliy not a hitch occurring in any of their plans.

GREENWOOD. B. 0. Keeps Fresh rant ia the Sealed age Giving Good Measure Men <ure ror Hard Ti lmes Business conditions in Canada are not good -at tho present time, and, while this Dominion is probably in better shape than most countries, that in itself is poor consolation. Instead of endeavoring to find excuses for present conditions, the chief business of every individual citizen should be to And a remedy and effect an improvement. And the hopeful feature of the situation is that "an improvement is not contingent on what Governments, Banks and big financial and industrial corporations may, or may not, do. Betterments will be the result of the actions of individuals. Somebody made the remark a short time ago Lhat hard times had come. This is challenged by one of the most widely travelled and best informed men in Western Canada who says that tlie person making such a remark was in error, and that he should have said "soft times have gone." AVe are not bo sure that: even this is the correct way of putting it. Rather we would say that too many people are acting on the assumption that soft times have come. ' ��� . ���. There is only one remedy for the existing economic ills from which all are suffering, and that is work. Not work by a few, but work by all. Not a minimum of work, but the full maximum of work of which oue is capable. Not work as it is advocated by the six-lo-eight hour day, five days a week, agitators but work as understood in the biblical injunction "six days shalt thou labor"���that is a hard, honest, day's work. A financial man who recently made an extended trip throughout Western Canada studying conditions, states that wherever he went he heard such questions as, "What are the banks going to do?" "What are the manufacturers, tlie railways, thc Governments, the farmers, going to do?" But in | no single instance did he hear a business man or artizan say what HE was going to do. There is, as this-man said, a mighty serious epidemic of "Let George do it" sweeping tlie country at the present lime, and many business men have the disease in a more or less virulent form. Commenting on the situation as this man found it, a writer in one of the trade journals says: "It has got so that the popular indoor and outdoor sport of today is 'passing the buck,' and yet we are wondering what is the matter with business. We are all waiting for the other fellow to start something, and feel deeply offended when he signals for us to make the first, move. The world has grown so used to play that it cannot settle down to work. The boss is talking and thinking golf. In a fe\vL,wceks he will be playing golf, Prosperity Will Come When Fully Earn Money Paid Two unemployed men asked permission the other day to chop up some firewood that was lying in a man's backyard, and agreed to do it for ?2.00. They worked quickly and got it done sooner than they expected. Although a fixed bargain had been made, they seemed to feel that they had not given a full equivalent for their $2.00. So they asked the owner if there was anything else he wanted done, and they took hold and did some more work, cleaning up rubbish until they were sure they had fully earned their $2.00. Such incidents are encouraging as they are in striking contrast with the spirit so lamentably manifested during the war. There are many more of these conscientious people, who are determined to give good measure, than some of us realize. Illustrating the other spirit, a man who supervised some accounts at one of the army cantonments during the war, says that one afternoon he found that a plumber and his helper had both lain down in the building where Ihey were supposed to be working, and both had gone to sleep. Yet zh-i A Shark Tannery Will Tan Hides of Sharks at Plant on Vancouver Island 0 It is planned to start a shark tannery on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The plant will be on a large scale, two boats being engaged in the operations. The hide of the shark is suited to the manufacture of leather of superior quality, for use in gloves, bags, purses and shoes. A very fine oil is extracted and- used for medicinal purposes and lubrication. The fins' are used in making gelatine. There are many sharks on the west coast, and the industry should become a lucrative one. Artificial Daylight Surprising Results are Obtained by Use of Special Colored Glass . One of the most interesting problems in illumination is. to provide an artificial source of light which will exactly reproduce ordinary daylight. Such a source of light is invaluable in the textile industry and for the m: ing of fabrics. One way of obtaining the desired result is to filter the light of an electric or other lamp through special glasses, but a British inventor recently produced another form in which all the light is reflected from an umbrella shaped reflector on which patches of certain colors are painted All the light used comes from this reflector and is modified by the colors to give a very exact imitation of day light.

Virtually every foot of it has be.en the subject of controversy���the same kind of controversy that Europe knows how to settle only by. war���and in every ��� instance Coming from Illinois Renewed Interest Being Taken in Western Canada by American Farmers (Special'. Correspondence by C. C. Porter, of Winnipeg) Chicago, 111.���Illinois, the great corn State, has sent many stalwart fanners to tlie Canadian prairies in other years, and this year the prospects are better than ever, C. J. Broughton, the Dominion Iimmigration Agent here for twenty-five years, told the writer today -that he was most hopeful this spring for" a renewal of the interest in the farms of the Canadian Northwest. Conditions are ideal in this State for the movement northward. Ten-, ants here must not only pay one-half of their production as rent, but must in addition pay the taxes and keep all buildings in repair. The burden is dri/ing some of the best farmers in the State to look for new fields. In discussing the matter Mr. Broughton said, "I would like to see the" Government establish agents at 'u.r- . J important centres like Brandon, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and' other points to whom we immigration agents down here could give letters of introduction. It would be a big improvement over present plans | and organizations. Such an agent I would have the time lo see and talk to these people on arrival, also the data, maps and information a proposed immigrant must have if he is to intelligently decide the big. question of mov; ing into a new farm home. . In nearly every western daily paper here, there are special articles by stamen who have been sent into rural centres for the purpose of ascertaining thc feelings of the farmers about sticking to the soil and remaining at home. When one hears of crops lost in some, sections of Western Canada by being, "blown out," some people imagine that this is an evil not known elsewhere. While'in Kansas recently, I saw scores of references to sec- lions-that would produce no wheat this year because the grain was blown from the wheat last tail., A .miller at Newton, Kansas, told me that the U.S. milling industry is figuring on $1.75 wheat before the new crop is harvested. Tenant farmers are resentful because the grain they had was sold in process of liquidation last fall at from 70 to 80 cents, while now the same grain is quoted at $1.30, and yet' the. co-operating grain growers own and control one-half thc grain elevators of Kansas.

So definite was this vision that the prophet remembered the very time of its occurrence. It meant so much to him that he could ever look back to it as a day when his ministry took on a new meaning. 1. He saw the Lord on His Throne .(v. 1). I Though the death of Uzziah left Judah's throne empty it w*ii made clear to the prophet that the throne of God was occupied. The Lord was high and lifted tip, showing that He is above all kingdoms. This was a peculiar preparation., of Isaiah for his work. The one who has really seen God can never be the same again; life has a fuller meaning ever afterward^ 2. He Saw the Seraphiums Above (vv. 2, 3). Just who Ihese beings are we do noi know. The word signifies "fiery," "burning." They were glorious beings whose business was to waif upon the Lord, to go on errands for Him. They had six wings���two for flight; two lo cover their face, showing reverence; and two to cover their feet, showing humility. These three pairs show that reverence and hirtnility are of equal value before God, Willi activity. Thc song of tlie seraphims shows lhat they saw holiness as God's supreme attribute. Tho thrice "holy" perhaps refers to the Trinity. The first choir sang, "Holy, holy, holy," and the second choir responded to tliis by saying, "Thc whole earth is full of His glory." 3. Tho Manifestation or Majesty (v. ���1). "The posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and tlie house was filled with smoke." The smoke, no doubt, signified God's wrath against man's sinfulness (sec Psalms 18:8; 74:1). II. Isaiah's Conviction of Sin (v. 6). The vision of God brought the prophet to see himself. It is only in the light of God's holiness that we see our holiness. AVhen Peter got a glimpse of who Christ was he begged Him to I depart from him; saying, "Depart I from me; for I am a sinful man, O CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears ^m/? ��� - Signature of ��#&*&/&<&0Z( London's House Shortage by Peculiar Stories Told in Court Homeless People Remarkable stories concerning the house shortage in London were told in the Bow Street County Court during the hearing of a batch of possesions summonses.

A woman said it was now customary to read the obituary notices and then enquire at the house whether the death meant accommodation for a. lodger. Another man told the court he had been married two years, but had never lived with his wife because his landlady refused to have her in the house.

A Record Casting The largest iron casting ever made ln Great Britain and one of the largest ever produced in any country, was recently turned out in a British factory. It weighed about 110 tons and the mould was built in a 16 foot pit. Seven hours were occupied in melting the metal, and the casting was poured in just under five minutes. Three weeks were occupied in cooling the' casting. Owng to its enormous size and weight the casting had to be delivered by road, six traction engines being used for haulting it.

The fire that consumed the sacrifice was holy fire. AVhen a sinner gets a vision of God in* Christ, the Holy .Spirit applies thi merits ol Christ's shed blood and cleanses from all sin. IV. Isaiah' Call (v. S). Immediately following his cleansing came the call. Men must be cleansed from sin before they shall bo called to God's service. Though God has many angelic beings who willingly go on errands for Him. yet lie has errands upon which only cleansed human beings can go. The only ones who can really declare the gospel of God's grace are those wiio have experienced its - saving power. Go'd is asking this same question of men and women. Isaiah readily responded io his call by dedicating himself lo Ihe task. lie said, "Here am I; send me." V. Isaiah's Commission (vv. 9-13). 1.

This Man CouM Not Walk a Mile WILLIAM GRAHAM SHOUTS THE PRAISES OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS Examining Fabrics by X-Rays Can Test Fibre in Automobile Tires by this Process X-rays have been employed in recent years for many other purposes than that of examining the tissues of the body. They have been employed in the examination of metals and of manufactured articles such as aeroplane parts. One of thc latest and most interesting applications is in the testing of the fibres of the canvas used in the manufacture of pneumatic motor tires. In order to give a distinct X-ray photograph the yarn or canvas must be soaked in very dense materials which absorb the X- rays. This treatment is apt to damage the fibre, but a British company has managed, after many experiments, to produce a solution with which the material can be impregnated without any deterioration. The X- ray examination shows the extent to which the warp and the woof stretch, and it also reveals the changes in structure and in strength which a canvas undergoes when soaked in rubber solution. By means of this highly scientific treatment it is possible to determine how the canvas should be woven to _ remain square and strong. 25= Herbal Saps & Juices, blended & concentrated by scientific means. <jive extraordinary healing t, skin-purifgiitf) powers w awn HEALER Many Lost Articles Are Not Claimed London Drivers Profit by Indifference of" Owners Scotland Yard, natural'/, is a clearing house for lost articles, and in a city of this size it may easily be surmised that the lost article feature of the metropolitan policeman's business Is somewhat extensive. However, it is not the large number of things lost that is of special interest, bat the apparent indifference of many of the owners as to whether they ever get them back or not. Most of the losses occur in public vehicles. Umbrellas, of course, lead the list, a fair average year's gathering in of these useful, if despised articles, being 23,000. ..- Everything found in a public vehicle and not claimed within three months is returned to the driver who handed it in, if on a final appeal by the police, just before the three months expire, the owner is not forthcoming. If the goods are claimed, the driver gets 12 1-2 per cent, of the value thereof, except as to jewelry, upon which he gets 15 per cent, up to the value of ��10, after which the percentage dwindles down. The police notify the public through advertisements in the newspapers, yet last month 500 articles were distributed among the drivers of vehicles because there were no claimants for them. Among the lost articles which have been in the. cupboards of the police for almost three months are' an ostrich plume fan and a beautiful fur stole, worth ��100. These are certainly worth claiming if the owners are still in London, which may be doubtful. One of the "lost" things picked up by the police not long ago was an African tree bear, which its owners left asleep in a taxicab. However, the owner turned up the next day and recovered his pet.
