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.

':��7 McLean Cuts B.C's Budget By Million Perhaps, the chief feature of any session of the British Columbia Legislature is the budget. On Monday of this week Hon. J. D. MacLean, minister of finance, made his first budget speech, and ife was ono of the most illuminating documents ever presented to the Houpe in Victoria. _ Most important of the announce^ ments contained therein waB that the estimated expenditures of the next fiscal year have been reduced by $1,103,315. The salary list has been cut 8142,477. The estimated revenue is given as only $19,246 lees than i'or the current year. Provisions have been made for sinking funds on Pacific Great Eastern Railway guaranteed stock outstanding, which will retire the debt in forty years. The assets of the province over, liabilities are given by the minister of finance as $25,935,000. Assets on agricultural lands, buildingB and mercaofcile timber of the province are shown as $700,- 000,000, or $1,334 for every unit of population in British Columbia. Hon. Dr. MacLean gives^fehe net debt of the province as $41,622,402. He shows that a saving of $798,- 413 has been effected by refunding short term:.six per cent, bonds into long term issues.. The debt redemption debt is $19,882,730, or $26 for every $100 of gross debt. Other provinces of Canada combined have only redemption provisions of $3.50 per $100. The budget speech shows that direct taxation oh taxpayers amounts to only 40 per cent, of total revenue. The revenue for the year ending March 31 last exceeded the estimates by $858,632, while the revenue-producing debt brought into the treasury last year 8798,351. Municipalities received grants amounting to 22J per cent, of the total provincial revenue, and Hon.-Dr. MacLean shows that the municipalities received grants amounting.to.'$304.3147 more than was collected within municipal boundaries. - The progress of British Columbia is shown in tbe statement that since 1914 there has been an increase in provincial revenue of 139 per cent. _ During the same period municipal grants have increased 226 per cent. The cost of education has doubled since 1917^ Provincial grants. to .municipalities which may be used for educational purposes have increased.; 165 per cent." 7 ''..-��� ���"; 7 ���-'- ".

U.S. MAY SOON BE PURCHASIN FARMpDUCTS Washington. ��� President Coolidge declared in an address before tho annual meeling of the Association of Land Grant Colleges, that the government would omit no effort to prevent a repetition of recent misfortunes involving agriculture, but assured them that the farmer also must readjust his methods of production and marketing "until he comes witli In sight of the new day." It was the lirst public address .Mr.. Coolidge has made since the election,, and was devoted to a discussion of agriculture, which is the principal subject before the college representatives, at their conference. The immediate problem, the -president said, is to bridge over the difficulties' resulting from abnormal and war-stimulated surpluses, while, he added, preparation'must be made also- for the" time fast approaching when, "wo are likely to be one of the greatest of the agricultural"buying nations.'" "The hope lies," he declared, "in organizations and methods whicli look to economies and efficiencies in producing and distributing." , . Meanwhile, the president urged that the educators and farm leaders turn their attention to scientific marketing.. The agriculture problem today, he insisted, is not on the side of produc; tion, but on the side of distribution.. Too little thought has been given to- this phase, he added.

The First Scout The following is takeD from the Sunday Companion and tells how General Baden-Powell commenced tha Scout movement: "Jimmy Jenkins lived in Islington���at least, he lived in a part of it which was crowded with folk, most of whom thought themselves ���well off if they had two rooms for their family. That didn't leave much Bpace to play in, so Jimmy played in the streets.

" When Jimmy Jenkins came back he'd caught the complaint. He'd learnt the Scout Law. Ho'd learnt to act with other people, in a kind of league. He'd learnt to aim to do one good deed every day. And he came back different inside. There were forty of them in his company, and thoy were al! different, too. Ah, his mother couldu't make it out! And when he hung about to see if he could be of any use, and offered to run the errauds and peel the potatoes, ahe looked at him as if she thought he was too good to live. Yes, THAT was how they changed Jimmy Jenkins and thousands of others in all our big cities who were like him. They did it in Australia and Canada and America and France, and���oh, everywhere. And this league of boys that they called the Boy Scout movement, caught on all over the world, for the idea which once was only an idea in General Baden- Powell's mind���the idea that boys who could act together for mischief, and become hooligans, could be got to act together in Scout leagues��� had worked wonder?. The little first band has become a mighty army of millions. We came to rely on them during the War for many things. They flew through the Btreeta after a raid, sounding the "All Clear'' signal on their bugles. They curried messages. They proved a blessing all round. Yes, these very boys who once might have been hooligans. Why, only a few weeks ago many thousands of them came to Wembley from all parts, and there they camped out, drilled and had a great review. And afterwards the Prince' of Wales spoke to them, and pointed out that now they were all bound together in the League of Boy Scouts, they w��re like a bundle of sticks which, so long as it held together nothing could break. But if they were separated they could be broken easily. And he begged them to hold together, to do.grand and useful work in .the world, and to stand against wrong, arid when they heard him .they, just cheered themselves hoarse.';' Hospital.
