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.

They declare the general trend is downward. "Keen sorrow is felt at the loss of Mrs. Margaret Wood who died suddenly in Winnipeg at the home of her niece', Mrs. J. T. Beattie, on Wednesday evening, June 14th at the age of 79 years. She was Jhe wife of the late Robt. Wood, the father of Greenwood. Mrs. Wood left here last February and had improved in health wonderfully, taking a great interest iu-theichildren and was quite happy. _ The day of her death she was up and around as usual but in the evening com-' plained of a pain in her side" which she thought was indigestion. - After dinner she was chatting with her sister, Mrs. Minkler -and suddenly dropped back while in the middle of a sentence. It was a' terrible shock to all, but they have the consolation in knowing that her end was peaceful and merciful. God touched her 'with His finger and so she slept, but not until a beautiful life was lived, a noble example of patience, fidelity to truth and faith were given. Not until visions of a heavenly life had cheered and illumine'd the valley of the shadow. And now that she sleeps, memory takes up'the harp of life,* and smiting the strings, finds that her virtues melt into music. K So it ever is when a life is nobly and divinely lived. The late Mrs. Wood was one of the early pioneers coming here when there -were only two other white.ladies in the district. The burial service took place in Vancouver on Tuesdayv morning and she was. laid to rest beside her dearly beloved husband. - l Her sweet face. made sunshine in a shady place. If strangers felt the charm of her rare court-, esy and ioyous sunny temperament,'--how"" mucbf more so' the members of her household upon whom she lavished. all the sweet earnestness and careful culture of her mind and nature. The spirit of her love was not weakness, but strength. The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken, the dust has returned to earth as it was; the spirit has retumed;to God who gave it. - Visit of City Trustee Next week the pictures will be held on Friday June 3oth owing to the celebration at Midway on Saturday., Hon. John Hart,1 minister of finance, Hon,- T. D. Pattullo, minister_of-lands, -Hon.-W.-Kr Sutherland, minister of public works and W. K.

D. of Westminister Church, London, Eng., the distinguished preacher aud Bible expositor, who is making a speaking tour through Canada will address a mass meeting at Grand Forks Theatre on Monday evening at 8 p.m. Several townspeople are looking forward to making this trip. Gurney T. Randall, who has been with the Bank of Montreal during the past year left'on Sunday morning for Victoria where he will spend a few weeks prior ar4to sailing for England via the Panama Canal. Gurney was a general favorite with the younger set of Greenwood and took an interest in all their sports. He was secretary of the baseball club and wiil be greatly missed by his numerous Greenwood friends. The most beautiful of all the seasons of the year has come around once more, but somehow men in the country fail to appreciate the beauties that are spread out "before them. We must recognize the fact that beauty does not appeal to the toil worn laborer as it does to the maiden in love. Neverthless the hard "working farmer and the less busy villager should" learn to appreciate the gleriss 'of June. This month comes nearest to the glories of Heaven of all months in the year. Mr. H. S. A.wrey, the Trustee, for the City of Greenwood, and appointed pn behalf of the bond holders through provisions of the City of Greenwood Relief Act passed by the ' Provincial Legislature last November, was in town last week on one* of his periodical visits. Mr. Awrey is taking a great interest in the welfare of the city and is extremely anxious to help in the inauguration of a basic foundation for a steady payroll in the near neighborhood. A revival of the mining industry appeals to him as the best course to follow, although the ranching and lumbering possibilities should not be overlooked. During hie stay he visited several of the neighboring ranches and was highly pleased with the amount of acreage under cultivation and the extensive hay meadows bordering on Boundary and Eholt creeks looked to him to be equal to the better known Fraser Valley meadowB. The Trustee is a firm believer in advertising and-pointed out how splendidly Greenwood was situated for catering to tourists, being in the midst of., the very best of fishing and hunting country, with magnificent roads, and in his opinion, the fine hotels in the place could work up a great business by judicious catering and making 'use of the^ unlimited accommodation at their disposal, if only the travelling public were made aware of the comfort and > attention awaiting them, and the'same travellers have an" open invitation to make use of the tennis courts, 'baseball .and athletic grounds iu the city." He noted the fine site converted - into an auto park and also the beautiful places on the outskirts of the city suitable for camping grounds. *; .A deputation of the local mining .men held an interview with Mr. "Awrey and outlined a project for developing some of the large*bodier of low grade silver-lead ore near the town with a view to the erection of a concentrator for treating the ore when sufficient tonnage had been blocked out to warrant the mill, construction. Although nu- fandiliar with mining,^ visit to the properties' o'n "Jwhich"- extensive work"has already T_een done, con-' vinced the Trustee that milling ore was even more, important on a large scale than high grade ore in smalljqaantities chiefly by reason of a greater pay-roll being-created. He was greatly interested in the succrss accomplished at the Bell and Sally mines near Beaverdell and expressed his appreciation to Mr. Duncan Mcintosh of the Bell mine for so kindly staying in town an extra day for the purpose of consultation regarding mining matters. The Mayor and Aldermen held a special session with Mr. Awrey who had previously examined the city acconnts and financial standing generally and had als inspected; the reservoirs, lighting plant andbuildings owned- by -.the eity. The members of the Council were congratulated on the manner in which everything was being kept in such good shape considering the limited funds at their disposal. The Trustee made particular mention of the general clean appearance of the town and noted the marked improvement by reason of the cleaning out of several dilapidated buildings since his last visit. He spoke very strongly about the enforcement of the pound bylaw and pointed out how detrimental it was to the status of the city for visitors to note the presence of straying animals on the streets besides the damage occasioned to the sidewalks and the danger of garden plots and lawns being damaged. School matters were up for die- Kettle Valley Notes* Dr. Coultas (dentist) of West Summerlaud is spending a week at Riverside.

From the information received, Mr. Awrey is now in a position to inform the bondholders of the inadvisabilifey of making any alterations at present. The Trustee complimented the' City Clerk on the manner in which" he fulfilled his various and numerous duties and the excellent judgment used in carrying out the wishes and instructions of both himself and tbe council, and-this tribute he also extended to Mayor Gulley for the keen interest and attention shown at all times in eity affairs. Mr. Awrey left for Vancouver on Friday morning and looks forward to his -next visit which he hopes to make early in the Fall when he anticipates going over the district to the west of Greenwood. - YE OLD TIME RATION 1DWAY, First Class Line of Sports Horse Races, Foot Races, Baseball, T^g-o-War.

(I <r -**1 Burning Up Money The fire loss in Canada during 1921 amounted to more than ��45,000,000 and exceeded that ot any previous year in Lhe history ot the country. Returns for the present year indicate that conditions are going from bad to worse. During the first lour months of 1922, losses have amounted to ?79,- 2*06.000, or almost $5,000,000 per month. The above figures are taken from a new publication called "Fire Control," published by the Department of Insurance at Ottawa, which has been forced to take notice of the rapidly increasing fire waste in Canada and has become impressed with the necessity of calling public attention most forcibly to it. If the enormous fire loss in Canada each and every year is to be lowered it is imperative that the general public be aroused to a greater sense of individual responsibility for existing conditions. It is estimated that directly nnd indirectly, without taking into account loss oT life and injuries resulting from fires, Canada's fire burden in 1921 totalled the enormous sum of ?9S,435,-I70. This great sum of almost one hundred million dollars is paid directly by property owners, but subsequently, through the channels or business, every individual in Canada" bears his. or her share of the burden. So distributed iL amounts to ?11.25 per capita of the population and constitutes a tax of more than $50.00 per annum upon the average family. Other taxes produce something in the way of service, but, this fire tax of one dollar per week per family yields no return. There is a popular notion that the loss sustained in fires is, in the vast majority of cases, fully covered by insurance. Newspaper accounts of fire invariably concluded with the words: "Loss fully covered by insurance." We take.it for granted that this means there is complete compensation for all waste and destruction caused by the fire. Tliere is no greater fallacy. The losses resulting from a fire extend in so many directions that they can never be fully covered by Insurance. Insurance, at the most, can be collected only for the goods and property actually destroyed... There is no insurance covering the cost of cleaning up the debris preparatory to re-building; none for time., lost in productive work while re-building or seeking a new location; none for profits lost on work that might have been done but which, owing to the fire, went to a competitor; none for the costly disorganisation of business which results; none for loss of employment suffered by employees; none for the public who through decreased production may be called upon to pay higher prices. Yet these losses have to be paid for. Who pays if the insurance~eompanies do not? Why, the public of course. And even if such losses were covered by insurance, the public would still pay through still heavier premiums. -The only way for the public to escape these charges is to reduce "the fire waste. In the Western Provinces of Canada where the bulk of the population live in rural parts, and where therefore it is difficult, and frequently impossible, to supply adequate fire-fighting equipment, it is especially important that all possible precautions against fire be taken and the utmost care exercised at all times. If a fire starts on the farmstead, or in a small village or hamlet, the total destruction of the building is almost a foregone conclusion because| there are not, and .cannot be, the efficient fire-fighting apparatus available in cities and the larger towns. ' " . �� However, with the now general installation of rural telephones connected with local town and village centres, it should be possible for adjacent rural districts to unite wi'.h the town or village in providing a light auto fire equipment, combining a chemical and pumping engine and hose carriage, which would provide protection not only for the small town or village but for .a considerable section of the surrounding country as well, and the rural population, thus be reasonable sure that a telephone call will find the nearby town or village fire department equipped and ready to serve them promptly. The small town or village cannot, of itself, stand tho expense of providing such equipment, but through a union of forces with the adjacent rural sections such equipment could be provided without imposing too heavy a burden on anybody. Farm homes can easily be equipped with automatic chemical extinguishers at very low cost, a very simple apparatus which can bc used by a woman, or a child if necessary. If a blaze is started it can, through such means, be quickly smothered before it'gets headway where nothing can check it. However..there is no better way of avoiding loss by fire than to prevent fire. Once again, it may well be urged that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The adoption ,o_ all reasonable precautions against a fire ���being started is, after all, the cheapest and most effective of all measures to reduce the fire waste which today constitutes one of the heaviest taxes imposed upon the people of this Dominion. Human Magnets Experime/its Have Proved Certain People Possess Magnetic Powers Some experiments that are being carried out by a German doctor show that certain people possess magnetic powers like those of an ordinary magnet.

It is ! quite probable that' the writer of the letter lived to see his fears confounded, to see every city and-large town in the country lighted by electricity, | and to see it used in almost every urban home. Perhaps he changed i his opinion about it; perhaps he was one of those individuals that would still maintainHliat the old days wore bcsl. The letter is typical of a type of mind that is afraid of anything new, the mind that lacks vision, that has not the courage to branch off into new paths. With that type ol mind prevailing tliere would be no progress. Fortunately, these are not the people who control. It may be that thcy serve a useful purpose in putting a check on those who would rush in i before the time was ready for the, advance.

' Literature Issued , by Department of Immigration and Colonization Attracts Attention The Department of Immigration and Colonization are admitting some elation over the fact that one of the regular advertisements issued by the department and appearing in a pi'Qin- inent agricultural paper published in Iowa has been the occasion of one of the prizes offered by the publisher of the paper mentioned for letters on the best advertisement apparing in his paper. The prize letter suggested by the advertisement of the Canadian Department of Imimgration and Colonization reads as iollows: "Western Canada offers health, wealth and 160 acres larm tree, fertile land at fifteen and thirty dollars per acre, is, in my opinion, the best advertisement in the April issue of the Iowa and Corn Ben Farmer. Health, wealth, land and a home, is thc goal that every man and woman ot ambition is striving for, and it all can be found in Western Canada. Land is the basis of all wealth, and all other advertisements would be useless if it were not for the wealth created from tho soil. Government land and homestead grants have been a..thing of the past in Iowa for over forty years, fertile land at fifteen and thirty dollars an acre for some thirty years. And the next generation will never read an advertisement like ,Can- ada offers. This Canada land advertised by the Canadian Government may never reach five hundred dollars an acre, but who knows? "Little did father think in 1S41, when home-stcading land in Iowa and paying the Goveranfent $1.25 an acre,- that this same land, would sell in 1920 j for ?300 an acre." The letter was written by A.

A Wonderful Bird Builds Nest of Vegetable "Matter that Engenders Heat An Australian bird, the Meg'apod- ious, no larger than a .partridge, builds an enormous- nest 14 feet high and 150 feet in circumference, in which about eight eggs are deposited.

Assign the following characters the ���Sunday after: Asa, Joash, Jehoiada, Uzziah, Isaiah, Hezekiah, Hilkiak, Jeremiah, Baruch, Jehoiakiin, Ebed- melech, Zedelciah. _ IV. The Summary Method. ""This method ciills foi* the salient facts of each lesson with a statement of its outstanding teaching. Note the following-suggestions: Lesson 1. Asa cleared the land of idolatry and called upon Judah to seek the Lord. Because he rested upon the Lord, God gave him victory over his enemies. v Lesson 2. Athaliah attempted to destroy the seed royal and then usurp the throne. Jehoiada checkmated her by hiding away Joash-for sikv years. At an appointed time Joash was crowned king and the usurper slain. Every attempt 'to thwart Gods purpose fails. Lesson 3. Jesus arose fronii the dead, showed himself to His disciples and sent them forth as ..witnesses for Him. Certainty of the 'resurrection of Christ is essential to witness for Him. . .. } .., _ -, .. Lesson 4. ' - Uzziah made a notable civic and military record, but in his pride he presumptuously intruded into the priest's office. ' As a judgment God smote him with leprosy. "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Lesson 5. Isaiah's vision, of , God brought him to a sense of his sinfulness. Man's supreme need today is a vision of God. - Lesson 6. Isaiah foresaw the end of all strife in the world through the establishment of " Chris't's kingdom. Peace and restoration shall come to the earth when Chrlsf'sh'all come and remove from men's hearts- the cause for strife. Lesson 7. Hezekiah led his people back to God. This he did by means of the passover feast. The only way for a sinning and divided-people to~get back to God and-be united'is around the crucified Lord. Lesson 8. Through the* repairing of the temple the law of God was found. Wnen it was read before tlie king it brought penitent sorrow. vGod accepted his penitenance and postponed the evil day. ( Lesson 9. Jeremiah was arrested, and brought to trial because he boldly proclaimed God's word to the nation. The one whom God calls to proclaim His word should faithfully discharge his duty regardless of what men may do unto him. Lesson 10. Jehoiakim tried to destroy God's Word by burning it.' Trying to destroy God's Word will not avert His judgments. Lesson 11. Because of Jeremiah's flde'lity to God he was cast into prison. Casting the prophet into the dungeon will not turn aside God's judgments. Lesson 12. Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem and carried away the people captives. Though God's judgments tarry they eventually fall. Lightning Harmless to Airplane Air'Pilot Escapes Injury When' He Me��ts Current at 100 Miles an Hour Captain E. D. Heme, a cross-channel air pilot, has had the extraordinary experience of striking the path of a flash of lightning while in flight at a speed of 100 miles an hour. Captain Heme recently- made a record double trip between London and Paris in a' single flying day. While passing along the airway to Paris he observed heavy .thunderclouds above the channel. He was skirting these when he suddenly saw two- or three vivid flashes of lightning near the machine. .'The aeroplane seemed to shudder and hesitate, then, recovering- itself rapidly, continued smoothly in flight. Captain Hearne called up the nearest land station" by wireless telephone and asked whether they-thought tlie trailing wire of his apparatus might be connected with this phenomenon. They advised him to wind it in temporarily, which he promptly did. It has often been a matter of speculation what would happen should an aeroplane in flight come In the path of a flash' of lightning/ Some experts declared���arid Captain .

Poincare, "but we cannot ignore ' the ferment of hatred which is brewing against France in Germany." No visitor to Germany, could ^-possibly ignore it, and it is well that the fact is plainly realized in Paris. , This hatred developed after the armistice. Before that German war hatred was centred on England, and " to a lesser degree on America. But as time has gone on, these hatreds have virtually disappeared. On the other hand, toward,Prance there was. so -American .observers ' report, no hatred at the,time of the armistice. Why has tfiis reversal taken place? - Fundamentally, no doubt, because Great Britain and America soon lost interest, in enforcing.the reparation - clauses, while France adhered firmly to the treaty.' Partly, no doubt, because Germany, :in her humiliation, had to have a scapegoat.���New' York World. No such city as Troy, or. people as Trojans, were known in historic times. Uniting the Empire Bond Strengthened by King's Visit to War Graves The British Empire seems at times too vast and shapeless- to be reai, and sometimes the imagination wearies and falters before its dividing seas. But how real and close and ^united it becomes as^ one reads of the words which the King spoke in Ter- linchthun cemetery. The spirit .which broods oyer-that-sacred resting pla"c"e is of unity as well as of peace. The men who lie there came from the uttermost ends of the earth, hut the cause for which they fought is.stronger even than death. The King's pilgrimage, then, must (juicken that feeling of kinship and brotherhood which 3s the Empire's very; life- blood.���London Morning Post.

Christian Valley Prospectors are numerous in the district coming from all over. There is a splendid school and a first class wagon road to the railroad. This is the hunters paradise, game of all sorts abounds in the hills and the lakes and creeks are full of fish. Jim Graham and Colin McLaren of Deadwood, were in the district last week en route to Lightning Peak. Christian Valley is little known even to the people of the Boundary, yet within a very short time this district will be one of the best populated and flourishing spots in the Boundary. ' There are 15 surveyed pra-emp- ' tions ready for settlement in this section. These lands are of the best and late frosts are unknown. , Settlers can have application forms made out by the local Notary Public, E. V. de "Lautoar. E, V. de Lautoar, of Christian Valley, spent a few days in Greenwood this week baying material to erect a home on his farm which he recently acquired. Mr. and Mrs. de Lautoar aad family moved here a short time ago from Okanogan county, Wash., where he was forced to give ap terming on account of tbe dry season. Before locating here he travelled over matib of B.C., but a&w no place that took his fancy as the beaatf- fal valley which ie hmtrom frosts and has plenty of moisture. Mr. and Mrs. de I-actonr* Add loo? children are welcomed to the district. Midway News Mrs. C. O'Handley of yaiicon- ver is the guest of Mrs. H. H Pannell.

BOY SCOUT MEET At 10 a, m. on Saturday the citizens, of Midway were roused with the merry shouts of the Greenwood Boy Scouts who were motored down through the kindness of R. Lee. Previous to the baseball game 24 scouts gathered at a camp by tbe river side, prepared and cooked their own dinner and indulged in a few games and scout crafl*. At 1.30 the the two patrols marched to the baseball diamond where the Midway and Greenwood teams met in the second game, of the series. The Midway boys were determined to stage a come back after the defeat of the week previous and tbeir consistent daily practice was to be rewarded. The opening inning was a "merry go round" for the local boys, some of whom scored two runs each, for a total of 16. The Greenwood boys were not down hearted but fought gamely to the end. Bush and Thomet the winner's battery played an excellent game holding the visitors to a few scattered hits. The Greenwood boys were very weak at the bat but with more practice and team play should-improve before the final play off in July. A happy and .good natured crowd turned out and applauded the efforts of the youthful players. Ewart McMynn, the Midway Scoutmaster and Eddie Morrison handled the game satisfactorily. The day's fun was not ended with the big* game but another treat was in store for the Scouts and Cubs when they marched over to-Mrs.��� J.��� LT��� Bush where-icecream and cake provided by Mrs. Bush and Mrs. McMynn was served. After three hearty cheers were given for the Midway Scouts and the ladies of the town, tbe Greenwood boys were ready at 5.15 when Mr. Lee was again on band to take the boys homo and it is reported that two record drives, were made between the two towns on Saturday.
