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.

At a. minimum outlay In minutes you can get ia direct touch with your desired party pdssibly hundreds of miles away where postal' or other tielay would he a decided drawback. Correspondence cannot compete \rith the peed of telephone service, besides which consider carefully the undoubted advantages of personal talk. BRITISH COLUMBIA TELEPHONE COMPANY. One "Against Twelve Hobart Bosworth,' starring in "The Sea CTdu," showing tbis week at the Greenwood' Theatre, can justly be called the champion fighter of the screen. It is probable that no other man in filmdom has been called upon - to engage in th�� number of savage fiet fights that Bosworth has. His brawn stands hitn ia good stead for he insists that there be no faking, and en- CDarages his screen adversaries to attack him wrih every ounce of their physical strength. As Jfels Nelson,' the battling "Sea Lion," he battles single handed with a crew of twelve men in-mutiny. felling thebi one by one with smashing blows from hia mighty fi��ta. The men working with Bosworth in thia scene were greatly relieved to h*��ar that a retake was not necessary, as most of them were confessedly ready to take the count. S -sal tnsrs, The.

Kerr was asked to give his address ou iusilage (sunflower) and the best method of feeding. This address was very instructive and greatly appreciated. Mr. Eveleth followed with his experience and amply proved the great value to the farmers of this district of insilage in a dry belt. It certainly seems to pay. J. It. Jackson then gave a most interesting aud instructive address upon the best class of build suitable for the district which was followed by a general discussion by other members present. The usual business was then taken up. It was decided to hold the annual picnic on Dominion Day, July 2ud at Ingram Bridge and to jnvite the other locals Bridesville and Eock Creek. E. F.

Take ihe League of Xafionr-. as an example. Its critics are to be heard 'everywhere and in every land. l-.'verv weak point in the League Covenant O " is seized upon, continually bur pec upon, and magnified out of all due proportion. The League of Nations is by no means perfect. How could it be? It is a human instrument, and ;.s such has its weaknesses and frailities. It had its birth at a time when ihe passions of the world were af fever heat. It is the work of statesmen who, while striving to do their best, were limited by the fact ihai they had to give heed to popular opinion in their respective countries or be swept aside for those who would bo so bound. And at its iru-eption the League was crippled by the withdrawal of support by one ofthe nations which helped to bring it into being and fo which it had every right to look for its strongest support. A petty insularism, supported and encouraged 'by political partisanship, killed such supnort. Nevertheless, ihe League of Nations, wiih all the handicaps from which li. suffers, has demonstrated itself as one of the most powerful factors in preventing more than one world (.:������..asdrophe since the Great War. It has unquestionably been the means of extinguishing sparks in more than oue in- tlammable portion of the "world which might easily have renewed the awful holocaust which well-nigh destroyed civilization in tiie last decade. Slowly but surely if is rehabilitating certain war-bankrupt countries, as, for example, Austria. Through the establishment of a permanent court of international justice and peace a stop of i^eatculablc importance lias been taken. The chief object of the League, however, is to mould public opinion the world over in favor of the settlement of international differences by reason, arbitration, fair and equitable compromise, rather than a savage resort to force. Iu the development of that funcrion the League requires not merely the active support of our Canadian Government, but of each individual citizen v.ho believes that ils poiiey ior wr.rld betterment and inutuaTundersLaiHling is preferable to war. 7 -, -...''' -���-.".-'":. \'-:'7'-- -',������-.-.'-' .,- As already .-pointed.- out ' i<\ 7-eonneel.iuu..wUl( the.actual ilraf.it.__ of the .League; Co->-enant.--rc,.'iponsilJle''��faftsnie.'n7i.b"e7.world oyer'are limited, in. their .efforts by the :st;tte7of public,-opinion'-in their -respective -countries.- VI f public" ���.opinion hi' Canad.T-.'.is;' informed" ami' aler't VatVdVstaiul -solidly.'- behind file' aims, .aiid ideals ot'��� the Leagiie. n' C;i!in.di'an..7w-ho believe-in the'.League oiieiily support i.r."M re .-;.->��� its. s,i;rong point:, .ajiti seek- to 'strengthen- if w.here'it'is. weak, .if iis .'friends amL.s'upp'n'ters' 'actively "endeavor ,to .win others' to "ils- support,- eumatic pain - less every year Sloan's is rapidly making- widespread suffering- froni rheumatism a thing- of the past.

A similar opinion is held by Ben Hoy, who has been conducting pruning classes ln Penticton and the Similkameen.

Model of British Locomotive Took Approximately 21,000 Hours /Steady Work to Make In the Brighton Art Gallery there is a model which is described as one of tho finest in existence. It is of a passenger locomotive, and its manufacture took 21,000 hours. The engine was begun more than 30 years ago, and thc period covered, by its mtiking was 30 years! It is all ex- rtuisile piece ot work, and enthrals not only school boys, who arc always "keen" on railway engines, but adult visitors.

SUFFERED SO FROM HEART AND NERVES LIFE WAS A BURDEN packet V% Ib tin If you roll your OWTV; askfor foboii tstynr thin ami poor in the not enough of it and spring shows tlie effect. Take notice and see how many people are pale and sallow at this lime of the year. They complain of being easily tired, their appetite is poorV and they are often depressed and low-spirited. That, is mother nature urging them to improve, their blood supply; but often their digestion is weakened so that they cannot turn food into blood without help. Here is where modern medical science comes to the rescue. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a direct action on the blood and enable you to get full use of-the blood-making elements in your meals. You soon feel their effect���your appetite improves, your nerves tire steadier, color returns to the cheeks and'lips, you have more vim and energy aud can worlc with loss fatigue. The above statements are borne out by thei experience of Mr. J. P. Greschuk, Tanow, Man., who says:���"Very recently I found myself in a badly run down condition. My stomach was quite out of order; . I could eat but little and what I did eat did not appear to nourish me. -I did not seem' to have enough blood; my service for Canadian wheat raisers at just about.one-half the figure charged by American railroads, says tiie Omaha WorlU-IferaUl. And llie Canadian farmers are complaining that they do not get a square deal. Western American farmers are paying from 50 per cent, to 100 per cent, more to get their wheat lo the lakes than Hie Canadian farmers have to pay, but how? Nobody seems to know. The three great lake ports for western wheat are'Fort William for Canadian farmers; Duluth for Northern American farmers; and Chicago for central farmers. All three of these ports are at the head of tho lakes. Fort William is some 200 miles from Duluth. All three are about equal distance from Buffalo.

To Abolish Penny Banks Thc Penny Bank is due to pass out of ihe public school system of Toronto, ,For some time the Board of Education" l(as been deliberating on this slf-p, and it was slated that the trustees arc just, about ready to take the step. They fake the v'iqw that the teaching of thrift may beGOine too expensive a process. ��� The main reason for the proposed abolition of the school banking system is that it interferes loo much with" the regular routine of the school work. In speaking of the diseases and infections of tho body that arise from the teeth, it is not intended to give the impression that .the teeth are invariably the cause of infection, but these cases are explained in order io show the results of neglecting mouths. Until recent years we had not realized the danger of neglecting the mouth and teeth���because digestion was so seriously interfered with, billie inability lochew, and because appearance and distinct speech were ruined, and because pain of many kinds and of great intensity was a very frequent occurrence, and because broken roots and open cavities retained decomposing food and mucus, with a resulting bad breath. These wera a few of the things that caused the more cultured people to have their mouths put in order. The researches of tho great institutions that are devoted to the study of disease have shown us that the results of neglected mouths are far more serious than we had at first believed; and tliere, is just one way lo avoid these serious results.. That'is to take care of the mouth in time. Begin with the children, and if thc child is trained to have its mouth in good condition and to know the comforts that follow a good mouth condition, the child will make very siren-, iious efforts, in,later life, to hare those same physical comforts. One of the most embarrassing as well as serious of the widespread diseases of this country���a condition that is becoming "more and more frcquent��� is goiter, which is the enlargement of the tliyroid gland which lies in the interior portion of'tiie neck.- A swelling of this gland produces a very unsightly enlargement of- the iieck, many times causing a series of what is known as thyroidism. Thyroidism is attended with sleeplessness (or insomnia), nervousness and excitability, twitching and rapid heart action. It..was.: lound' that in large numbers of goiters the infection in the thyroid gland was a certain bacteria that is found in abscess sacs at the ends of roots of diseased teeth in the mouth of the patient; and in many instances the treatment of the teeth, or fhe ex-" traction of the teeth and curetting of the sockets, relieved the goiter en- I irely. It is therefore advisable lo have a careful X-ray examination of the mouth in all goiter cases. Cuticura Heals Face Disfigured With Itchy Eczema "Eczema broke out in watery pimples on my face and head. Later my cheeks and head became so bad that they "were covered with large scales.

And it mentions Regina and Kenora as places which changed their names. No doubt, says the Toronto Star, Regina was quite right in deciding that Pile of Bones was not a suitable name for a city that was destined to become the capital of a province, but when Rat Portage changed its name to Kenora, ir evinced a finicky spirit and, for most of us, somehow, Kenora has never stuck out on the- map as one of the salient points in Canada the way Rat Portage did. As for Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat. we hope .they will stick to the distinctive names they bear.

Pythian Sisters Dance Communications One way to forget other people's faults is to remember your own. 1 ��� They that are fervent to dispute are not always able to determine. Dont speak your mind unless you have a mind to say something. A man with a grievance never misses an opportunity to mention it. Yotr cant tell by the suit a man wears how many holes he has in his socks. L Tastes differ. Some people can see beauty in a looking glass, while many others cant.

Vwo projects singled out for critic- \<ai were the Schaake Machine Co., 'vid.the T. J. Shore Bolt and Nut -Works, both of which concerns received loans from .the government. For a while it appeared as though a loss might be incurred, but these plants have been sold, for $140,000 and the government's claims, for principal and interest, met in full. 1 The claim is also made that 20 per cent of the loans made by the department since its inception three years ago will tarn out badly and that $250,000 at the most will cover the losses. Even Conservatives are ready to admit that this sum of money was a small one to see the province through the strenuous post war crises, when returned men had to have assistance to re-establish them in civil life and the unemployed were demanding relief.

It is safe to say, however, that they never had a more brilliant assembly than the one given on Friday night. Werner's four piec�� orchestra came over from Grand Forks and their music was said by many to be one of the best ever had here. Brilliant ladies in beautiful gowns were there in large numbers. Ladies outnumbered the gentlemen, but everyone got plenty of dancing. Supper was served in the rooms upstairs. It was very nice land nicely served. A large number of prominent people from'"'Midway, Kettle Valley and Riverside were present as well as some from Ferry and Torodo Creek, Wash. All these visitors contributed not a little to the charm of the evening. The enthusiasm was kept till early morning and the enchanting music attracted many spectators all through the night.

For recent point in question: A few days ago I was informed "by a reliable eye-witness" of n male" person carrying home 82 trout varying in size from 4 inches to 14 inches, caught in Boundary Creek. (Fishing in this district opens May 1st and 8 inches is-the legitimate size of the trout) The said witness was unwilling to give me the" name of the poacher in question or I would have same published, Mr. Editor it is not possible io inetil the idea of conforming to the game and fish laws of this Province into the heads and minds ofthe law-breakers we Irive i:i this district ' except by prosecution and fines. The Provincial Police who are the ones io' charge of such observances at the present time, cannot possibly give their time aud attention from their other duties to enforce the above mentioned laws and it is to be' hoped tbat tho recommendations of the Game Conservation Board, recently passed, will result.in men being, appointed who can givejtheir attention^to the enforcement bf the laws which are now so easily evaded. A Eod and "Gun Club" for this district to my mind would be able to have a good deal of influence in the proper carrying out of the regulations^-which true -Canadians and sportsmen observe at all times, but, which same endeavors are nullified by breaches of the law made by unscrupulous persona who will not recognize any laws or regulations regarding game and fish in season or out of season except by fear-of punishment, which without �� doabt'is long "delayed in being administered. A few special constables appointed to enforce the fish and game laws would have the effect of making the' too ready law breakers realize that their, period of self-satisfied defiance and non- observance of the laws of-their adopted country is at an end.

ABEX, TROMSI.E7. Applicant ��� Dated 3rii April, l��l IT has been said that the modern ocean liner is a floating hotel, and this is probably the best description 'that can bc given. A modern hotel is a city in itself, and a modern ocean diner of the type of the Canadian Pacific "Empresses" is. certainly no less. When a couple of thousand or so of passengers are cut off from land to spend a week or more on. the ocean, they must have every convenience and comfort' that land can provide. Thc ship ��� must, be self sustaining in every* particular. In ���this respect Canadian Pacific ships arc as complete as'modem' invention can make them, and whether their trips extend for one week, or six weeks as does the cruise of the Mediterranean which thc "Empress of France" made this winter, or even for three months as in the case o�� the' cruise around the world to be. made by the "Empress of Australia" this year, nothing is lacking to ensure the complete happiness of all on board. As an instance of the way in which ..modern liners arc equipped, the newly installed laundry of the "Empress of France" is well worth comment. Jt cost $25,000 and its complete plant and large staff of workers make it probably the "finest of its kind afloat. In addition to. the large amount, of work undeftake.il for.- passengers at shore prices, it deals with 7100,000 pieces of ship's linen per week. This new. department: is -under the management of G. Dawe, junior, who controls its .staff of six'men and thirty women. Three washing machines form, part of theV.equipmcnt, and one of these, the' largest ever fitted;.to "a' liner, is capable of dealing with 3,000 pieces of linen at a time, each piece being subjected to the entire washing process without removal. There is also a huge ironing machine "which will iron and dry sheets at the rate of 400 per hour after thcy have bcerT passed through a power wringer. This 'machine is operated by a team of nine girls. The higher class of laundry work is done by skilled ironers with press machines and electric irons, while shirts and collars, etc., are starched and finished by machines specially fitted for the purpose.' All the machinery is electrically driven, and there are elaborate electrical controls for starting, stopping and regulating the machines, ln the case of the washing machines, electric motors are fitted to the top of them, controlled by an electric timing device which regulates _ the ��� revolving and reversing of the inside cylinders. The oil-burningV-^Empress of France" has a length of 571 feet, beam 72 feet, depth 42 feet/and gross- .tonnage: of ..18,481. ; The speed which made her such an asset to the. navy during .the war is still maintained, '���' and; Captain John Gillies, her commander, is the hero of, many an ex- citing'.race to port; Once.aboard the "Empress" one has nothing to do; but enjoy life while, awaiting the' end of the journey which usually arrives all too soon. She<is a beautifully appointed ship with seven first class public rooms, including -a lounge, smoking room, card room, and library. Provision is made in the second-class quarters for three public rooms, and spacious deck space affords all passengers more than sufficient room for open air games and exercise. Her. steerage accommodation is in many ways about equal to" the cabin accommodation of Atlantic liners of a few years ago, and her first and second-class provides every comfort that has been devised. v Mining Notes Frederic Keffer, mining engineer, returned a few da\s ago from a visit of inspection" to property of Jack Paul Miniog Co., near Eock Creek, Boundary district, B.
