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.

TORONTO t Controlling the Liquor Traffic 'the most efficient, method of controlling lhc liquor traffic with lhc object of eliminating thc abuses end excesses whicli seem to be inseparable from it has long- been lhc subject of agitation and legislation. Possibly no one question has resulted in the passage of a greater volume of legislative, the enactment of more restrictive laws, or the taking of more voles, than that of public control of the traffic in intoxicants. And notwithstanding it all, wc arc still far from having solved the problem in a satisfactory manner. The outbreak of the Great War, and thc imperative necessity imposed upon all nations of conserving their resources in man-power, productive capacity, and food supplies, led to the enactment as war measures of stronger restrictive measures tlian had ever before been generally acceptable to thc masses of the people. Many ardent temperance reformers believed that these restrictive laws would bc continued aftcr thc war, and that in a generation or two thc blight of the liquor traffic would bc an evil of the past. It is.now quite apparent that many of these restrictive laws will cease to function with the declaration of Peace,���which may bc proclaimed for thc British Empire before this article appears in print, and in any event cannot now be long delayed. , One reform brought about by tlie war will, however, prove- lasting; that is, the open bar with all its evils and open temptations, and its pernicious treating habit, has gone never to' return. ��� . Alptual experience- dtering,. lhc' war lias demonstrated that existing pro- ' liibitory legislation is not as conclusively prohibitive as the authors' of such laws'anticipated they "would be. On the.contrary, violations of lhe law arc so-numerous, and are. so .little rer garded by the average person,'that a condition of things has been brought about hi all these Western. Provinces which is little short of a scandal,; ancl , which-is certainly, ^detrimental to a~ propcr respect'fqr'law and-subversive of.good morals.'. ...'.- - .-\ In; the .United .'.States,, the people -���have declared for nation-wide prchibr ition'.of thc..salc, manufacturc/iiupor- ' talion and -exportation of intoxicating liquors -for beverage" purposes.' ��� In Cauada, on the other hand, wc havc no Dominion-wide lav/, nor at present docs there seem much likelihood of such a.law being passed. -For one ;'thingi"th"c Canadian Senate lias" shown very, clearly,that it will not give'approval to ;such legislation, .and' the House of Commons has ever,before it thc attitude'"of Quebec; whicli is antagonistic, to an. absolutely "--prohibitory- law. '������,. - " ��� '.'' Control and'restriction of the liquor "traffic, iu Canada, continues, therefore, to bc a subject for-provincial action, supplemented, by,"such'"F_cderal: action' -..to.assist the provinces a's" the. pfbyih;- ".ccs '-by- vote of':tlieir people'. may-, dc- .-. raaiid. ,.... '.-.'��� .-"""/'"���.-��� . . '���;""- .'���"��� -".According- to. legislation:-passcd at the recent.' special session of Parliament/the manufacture., of liquor, is . prohibited; except for. purposes of cx- ������- port,' iiU.tliosjC provinces which prohibit the sale: Furthermore, the importation of. liquor, into '.individual '. provinces ,can' be ��� made illegal -if; the " legislature of a proyinccasks-by rcsp- . Union that a plebiscite.,vote be; taken , by the'Fcdcral authorities, within such province.; on the. subject of. importa- "tion, and a.inajority of the voters declare in favor, of prohibiting .such" imr portation. But after peace is proclaimed, and until such a plebiscite is asked for and held and a verdict favorable to prohibition rendered, importation of liquor for personal use, but not for sale, will be perfectly legal in all Canadian provinces. Thus thc prohibitions whicli have been in force under orders in council will cease with thc proclamation of peace. So long as importation into a province is legal, it is manifestly impossible for any provincial legislature or government to enforce prohibition of the liquor traffic. It can prohibit the sale of liquor, but that is all. And so long as importation is legally permitted existing abuses against which a large section of the people arc complaining will continue. And at the best it will not bc impossible to stop such importation for from six months lo a ycar. When such a plebiscite vote is eventually held in any province, and if the popular verdict should bc to permit importation}" then thc provincial authorities will have to seriously consider whether it would not be better lo provide for some form of regulated and controlled sale within the province, rather than havc the door left wide open to indiscriminate individual importation of liquor in unlimited quantities. Should thc people of a province declare in favor of permitting importation, most thoughtful temperance advocates believe that some form of government dispensaries based on the mail order system, and patterned somewhat aftcr thc system which at one time was in vogue in Saskatchewan, should be established. - On thc other hand, if thc people declare against importation, then thc utmost care must bc exercised in thc drafting of the most drastic kind of provincial laws to prevent a repetition of abuses which are now unfortunately so general. Whatever thc. nature of thc laws enacted, thcy must havc back of them thc force of a strong public opinion in order to prove effective and beneficial. In thc last analysis it is the people who make the laws, and unless a- law has thc support of the people it will not bc observed and cannot bc enforced.

Vanished German Uniforms Iron Pyrites and Clay Deposits Interest Shown by Capitalists in Development of Saskatchewan's Natural Resources Immense deposits of high grade brick-making clay have been discovered at the Elbow, according to Andrews & Cruikshank, analytical and consulting chemists, Regina, who recently analyzed samples brought in by farmers of the Elbow district. It has been further discovered that a very valuable deposit of iron pyrites underlies the clay, so that the men who file on these claims and succeed ih developing the discoveries have a double-barrelled source of revenue. Iron pyrites furnish sulphuric acid, which is a basic acid in chemistry and is worth $35 a ton, while a valuable by-product is obtained in . red oxide. Claims extending over a quarter section have been filed on.and an endeavor is being made to interest capital, says the Regina Leader. A few days before the discovery of thc iron pyrites was madc, an Old Country capitalist, who manufactures sulphuric acid in England, was in the office of Andrews & Cruickshank and said that he would bc willing lo manufacture sulphuric"' acid here if hc could locate a deposit of iron pyrites. Efforts arc being made to get in touch with him. Messrs. Andrews "& Cruikshank informed The Leader that all indications point to a great movement by Old Country capital in the development of thc natural resources of thc West, and that thc next two or three years should see some important in vestments in directions which up till now have been entirely neglected in this province.

Mindful of this.'' one may better understand his position in regard to the four lovely girls who at this time inhabited his haremlik and whom he had taken as his adopted daughters. The kindly old Ottoman had chosen them with care, and had destined .them for better things than the semi- slavery of the orthodox Turkish woman. He had occupied himself with thcir education, and denied them no- ��� thing which it was good for them to have! Also, he had watched and guarded them with the care of a fond parent, and although they were free to come and go, whether on the Bosphorus, in their lacquered caique or Hamid Pasha's small steam-yacht, driving in the landau behind the high- mettled horses which were a cross of Arab and allachian, shopping in Peru at the Bon Marchc���no matter where, they were invariably chaperoned by governess or duenna. They repaid him in affection and the pleasure which he took in-their beauty and accomplishments.

This was his pleasure and repose. Rugglcs read on while Hamid Pasha listened, his eyes resting on thc opposite European shore or wandering wearily from one to the other of the brilliant notes of thc broad panorama spread before him.

Masses of wistaria rioted over the ancient walls, and to the right one glimpsed through a vista in the plane trees a flower garden which Hamid Pasha had surrendered to nature, an en- croachcr on his lordly domain for whom he had great tolerance. This garden was his favorite retreat when in need of an hour of contemplation, and beyond keeping the patli to the central peristyle surrounding an ancient fountain clean and freshly sanded, his gardeners did nothing there.

All of us whose incomes are fixed or relatively inflexible havc been growing steadily^ poorer since 1914, and we bear this the harder because wc know that, sprinkled over the face of the country are favored individuals who have waxed enormously rich. Did not these individuals do thcir utmost to hoist prices to their profit and our bane? Of course thcy'did, and if, having thc power, wc fail to make them disgorge, wc arc fools. But let us not suppose that thereby wc shall have solved our problem of making ends meet smoothly. The profiteer rode into his fortune on a tide quite too stupendous to be ascribed totally personal chicanery or wizardry. From Patagonia to Cape Nome, from New York all round the world, thc cost of living has climbed to an unprecedented level. We fret over our 91 pcr cent, increase (up to May 15; it has risen/ since). Australia, lost in the distant^occan, got off with a 40 pcr cent, increase. Canada had to stand for an increase of 104.5 per cent.; Great Britain, 140; Paris, 148; Sweden, 234.

To Wear Old Clothes A novel solution for bringing down tlic high cost of living- in sonic particulars al least, was just put forward at thc last meeting of Vimy Post No. 4, Grand Army of Canada. It was that returned men, and others, if they felt so inclined, should refuse to buy new clothes so long as they had anything at all to cover their nakedness and keep them warm enough to withstand thc Canadian winter. To lhat end il was suggested tliat the returned incit should have their khaki suits and overcoats dyed, should use thcir arm> shoes and tho like. Doubtless 'if all the returned men did thus il would have an appreciable effect on thc sale of clothing. Thc resolution was put forward in all seriousness and carried without a dissenting vote. Vitality of-Snails Snails have remarkable vitality. A naturalist once revived some specimens after they had apparently been dead for fifteen years, and one that had been glued to a card in a museum returned to life after being immersed in warm water.

When they reach their destinations, these hulls will bc dismantled and delivered as lumber. The hulls and cargo" of each ship will represent about 50,0007000 feet, it was said.

The youthful glints, tints and color are again in your hair. "Danderine" is a lonic-beautifier. Besides doubling the beauty of the hair at once, it checks dandruff and stops falling hair. Get delightful Danderine for a few cents at any drug or toilet counter and usc it as a dressing and invigorator as told on bottle. Successful Experiments Have Been Conducted in Saskatchewan That the manufacture of binder twine and felt from fibre of Saskatchewan flax grown for seed is commercially feasible is thc report lo thc Provincial Department of Agriculture of F. W. Van Allen. Experiments were begun some ycars ago at thc expense of thc Provincial Government and thc carding and finishing processes have been completed in lhc East. Samples of both twine and felt have been received. One of thc twine samples is 55 foot twine, three-ply, which tests have shown has a breaking strain of 65 and seven-tenths pounds. The other sample is 600 foot twine, three-ply, with -an average breaking strain of 45 pounds. The experiments will havc an important bearing on- farming as many thousand tons of flax straw arc annually destroyed after threshing. If a woman wants lo cut a man's acquaintance she may look daggers at him. It's a shame thc way some young widows break into thc game again and don't give tlic maids a chance. Those who dwell in other people's memory ought to live cheaply. Wlien there is work lo be done the buzz saw is alwaj-s ready to take a hand. Making Farms Out of Swamps Reclamation of Several Thousands Acres of Swamp Lands Near Golden, B.C. Work on thc reclamation of several thousands of acres of swamp lands in the Columbia Valley, near Golden, B.C., will in all likelihood commence early next spring. An inspection of the proposed work is now being made by Senator B. C. Prowse, of Prince Edward Island, who is vice-president of the Golden-Win- dermcrc, Limited, a company capitalized at $2,000,000 for thc pui pose of acquiring and reclaiming the lands in question. Senator Prowse made a close examination of the lands between Golden and a point fifteen miles to the south, and was favorably impressed by their fertility. Hc expressed himself as being confident of thc success of thc proposed undertaking. The company, proposes to divide the lands into fifty-acre tracts, and Senator Prowse estimates that eight hundred_familics-will-be-scttlcd upon them, Figuring from thc average Canadian family of six persons, this would mean au addition of some five thousand to thc population of the district. In 1917, $400,000 was available in England for the purpose of financing the preliminary operations of thc company, but thc British ticasury regulations would not allow thc money taken out of England during the war. These restrictions have now been removed. "I Cannot Go" LLIGUS headache spoils many an expected enjoyment.

Wonderful Flyers Butterflies Which Cross the Ocean in the Spring The most wonderful ocean flycis arc the butterflies whicli cross the ocean in the spring.

Wc want that brotherhood right the way through; between rich and poor; between _the various religious bodies in the country, and graduali3' but surely betvicen the nations of thc earth. Let us establish it at home, and wc shall than greatly influence the world as a whole. I am not afraid of the working classes iu this matter. If wc in Birmingham- read with any care the accounts of thc conference of the Industrial League-in this city, we must have been struck with the great capacity and the great idealism in those workers gathered from all parts of our land. They were the leaders of, at any rate, a great section of the employers and employed of Great Britain. The note struck was comradeship and co-operation, and I am quite certain that if these men can only get hold of the rank and file of thcir classes wc shall have thrift once more regarded as something of which a man need not "be ashamed." Immense" Area _Has an Altitude Over 5,000 Feet To thc elderly reader Central Africa conjures up thoughts of slaves and slave-hunting;. lo the middle- aged, ivory, malaria, ostrich feathers, thirst, rubber and sleeping-sickness. To thc younger generation, however, it bespeaks imported thoroughbred stock, hardy cross breeds and "three- days-dipping" to kill thc rinderpest and Texas fever bringers, ��100 a ton coffee and Burgundy mixture to check a dreaded leaf-disease, hundred acre stretches of wheat and rust lesisting wheat breeding stations, bacon factories and swine fever scrum, as well as thc better known tropical products, such as cocoanuts, rubber, coffee and sisal. It is not realized that an immense area iu Central Africa has an altitude of over 5,000 feet, where white men live in comfort. At this elevation all the temperate zone products can bc grown, and today, in spite of poor means of communication, European homesteads are springing up m the midst of semi barbarous natives, often a hundred miles from the nearest railwaj o waterway.���Uganda Herald.

"Common Sense Wins" A great victory has been won by common sense over prejudice. Gumption has triumphed over 1 ultra conservatism and inertia. World Trade Club of San Francisco and the Metric Association of New York has just received a classification of the petitions mailed within the papt few months to President Wilson and national American legislators, and by them referred to the Bureau of Standards, Dopartment of Commerce. These petitions relate to the ex- elusive use of metric measures by the United States of America. 99% of the petitioners favored this essential progress. Less than 1% were against. This is a great victory for common sense. It shows that thinking people are practicully unanimous in recognizing, the advantages of metric weights and measures because of their simplicity, logical relations, world-uniformity. . Now it is up to the Legislators of the United. States of America to put the measure thru. . - -..

The Zinc Industry On the new zinc developments in the Kootenay, the Financial Pest, Toronto , says: "The recent prophecy made by J. J. Warren, general manager of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting company, that Canada could easily increase its production of zinc to supply one tenth of the world's demand, which he estimated at 780,000 tons, focussed attention on the developments on the Consolidated properties in British Columbia. The company is plan- nimg a 10,000 ton concentrator at Kimberley to handle the output of the mining ore from the Sullivan mine, and it is expected that this unit will be ultimately increased to 20,000 tons a day. When finished the plant will be the largest zinc concentrating plant on the continent. The developments will tend to make zinc production in Canada a truly Canadian industry, for up to the present a large proportion of Canadian zinc ore has been sent to American smelters for treatment. Up to 1916 no zinc was produced in Canada at all being exported to the United States for treatment. With the establishment of the Con- solidated's smelter at Trail, zinc treating began in Trail. In 1916 the production of refined zinc at the Trail smelter was [less than_ 3,0.00 tons, which in 1917 had risen to nearly 10,000 tons. There is little doubt that the British Columbia mines can keep the, proposed smelter busy. The Sullivan mines is the world's greatest zinc mine, and last year produced ore containing an estimate of 26,704,806 pounds of zinc metal."
