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.

Favoured with ideal weather amid beautiful surroundings, the Dominion Day Celebration was an unqualified Buccese. There were huge crowds from all parts of the district and the United States and cars were continually travelling up and down the road. The town- site of Midway lends itself admir-. ably for celebrations, and the town certainly looked gay, with all its flags and bunting. Of Midway it might be said that she's little but Bhe's wise, she's a terror for her size._ These lines seem to fib in very well for the committee in charge had left nothing undone to take care of the-large crowd and to see that there was something doing all the time, such as baseball, horse! racing, foot races for boys and girle, old and young. Ice cream and refreshment booths were erected and a large dancing pavilion and these were much appreciated and well patronized. Dominion Day was a red'letter clay in the history of Midway and the sports. ..were equally as good as those of pre-war days. The liberal prizes offered attracted many.competitors. Four teams entered for the baseball prize���Curlew, Greenwood, Molson and Grand Forks. These teams occupied the diamond from 10.30 o'clock till well on in the afternoon, Molson taking home the money. In the first game Curlew .defeated Greenwood, 22-5; in the second MoUon won from Grand Forks, 19-1 and in the final Molson was the winner over Curlew, 15-1. Not a hitch occurred to mar the day's sports although it was-a fearfully warm day. The programme of sporta .was carried out as advertised and they, were "pry good. In the evening by the moonlight, a large airy pavillion, erected for the purpose, a most enjoyable dance brought a delightful and exciting day to a close. Bush's orchestra was in attendance and they were in fine form for never were they heard to better advantage and never did they play so well and that's going some for this now famous orchestra is hard to beat. Everybody was loathe to quit when the Home Waltz was played, Great interest was taken in the ball game between the Boy Scout9 ofMidway and "Green wood- This was a very close and hard fought game and was won by the Midway boys by a score of 12 to 11. All the committees worked strenuously to make their particular part of tho day's proceedings an unqualified success and it is largely due to their untiring efforts that the celebration was bo successful and as a result an endeavour is being made to hold a celebration at Midway on July 1st every year. Great praise muBt also be given to all those who did volunteer work without which much of the preparatory work would have been left undone. The committees in charge were: Chairman, H, A. Nichols; Secretary, Ewart McMynn; Advertising, R. A. Brown, W. B. Stewart, E. McMynn; Sports, Gordon McMynn, Bruce Gray, R. N. Evans;. Grounds, Dick Hielscher, G. Thompson, J. Zurfluh.

GrREENWOOD, B. 0. * Be Vigilant Eternal vigilance is (he price of liberty. This is a maxim (rue ln all walk* of life, but it is especially true in the lives of Western Canada farmers during these admittedly trying years. Fanners with years of experience in these Prairie Provinces have come to understand conditions and well know what should be done, and can be done, better than anyone else, but the fact must be recognized that here in the West hundreds, yes thousands, of men are engaging in the work of agriculiure who are more or less new to this country and have not yet gained that, experience of conditions here -which will enable them to combat adverse conditions with the largest possible measure of success. It may, Iherefore, not be out of place, and, indeed, of some value, to emphasize one or two factors which are assential to success in this country. At the time of writing agricultural conditions ln Western Canada ave distinctly favorable; more favorable in fact than they have been for some years. According to mid-June reports from all parts of the West the growing crop is most promising. Alberta has more moisture than in any season for five or six years past, and both Saskatchewan and Alberta have been visited with copious rains over large areas, with tlie result that all grain-is making splendid growth. Tlie reduction in the acreage sown to wheat in some sections is fairly well offset by increases in other grains. But, let it be repeated, eternal vigilance, is the price of liberty, and liberty for the Western farmer at tlie present time means security from the many dangers wihch threaten the growing crops. Some things he cannot prevent��� hail, for example. But where it is impossible for him to adopt preventive measures, he can provide some measure of security through insurance. The wise man will make such provision. If Iiis crop escapes, he can well afford to pay the premium; if lie suffers hail losses, he is the gainer and all is not Jost. In recent years (he West has suffered enormously from the grasshopper pest. Experience has now shown how to successfully combat this scourge, and preparations for so doing have been made by Governments and municipalities on a large scale. It remains for the farmers, individually and collectively, to unite their forces and through the most effective co-operation with ofllcial agencies fight this scourge to a finish. As the^ motto of the Rotary Clubs say: "It can be done." It remains for tlie farmers during a comparatively short period to put up a fight. It is a fight which, if waged successfully this year, will likewise bring results in improved conditions in the years to come. Then there is the weed pest. It, too, must be fought. Unless it is, it will conquer in the end, and, -unfortunately, it is not merely the slothful, lazy, indifferent farmer who suffers from ir, but his industrious neighbor as well, and the community as a whole. In districts where the late, wet spring made cropping of the land impossible, farmers should this year wage unremitting warfare on weeds, and the neglectful farmer in this respect should be brought to book by municipal authorities. If the individual farmer who allows his land to run to weeds suffered alone, it would be serious enough; but when through his slothfulness and neglect whole districts are threatened lie should and must be made to act in the public interest if he will not in his own. As the season advances, and the grains and grasses ripen and dry, all possible safeguards against fire should be provided. Last year property loss in Canada from fire totalled over ?-15,000,000, or more than ?5.00 for every man, woman and child in Canada, not to speak of ths even more serious loss of life and others injured and maimed for life. Fire in these Prairie Provinces is a serious thing because such a large proportion of the population live in rural parts where it is well nigh impossible to provide efficient fire- fighting appliance. Prevention is better than cure, especially in the case of fire where too frequently there can be no cure. At harvest and threshing time especially, let it be repeated, that in the matter of freedom from fire, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Parliament and Legislatures, spurred on by the farmer representatives and organizations, are struggling with the grain marketing problem, seeking 1o devise ways and means whereby the farmer will receive an adequate monetary reward for his toil and husbandry, but their best, efforts will hardly net as substantial results as can be achieved by many individual farmers for themselves through the taking of absolutely necessary precautions and thereby preventing losses against which legislation will not protect them. ��� Constant vigilance, and the taking of simple, commonsense precautions i'or a few short summer and early Fall -months may easily, result in larger gains than all the legislalion in the world can provide, and without which all legislation is futile. . . . .'

' H 9 BARELY LIVED THROUGH IT A terrible experience had Edw. J. 0'Connor,..of Sault Ste Marie. From boyhood.hc writes: "I have been a constant sufferer from 'Asthma and Catarrh. My nose and throat was often stopped up, and I liad disagreeable droppings from my throat. When j elements have no coherency. [ ly demanded of the wise men that they. make known the dream and its interpretation. Because of their failure the 'king was very furious and commanded all the wise men of Babylon to be slain. II. The Revelation of the Dream (vv. 14-35). When the decree was in process of execution Daniel was sought out to be slain. He sought an interview with the king and obtained time. Note: 1. The prayer meeting in JBabylon (vv. 14-18). Daniel was the leader in that 'prayer meeting. He called his fellows together and most definitely prayed to God. Their lives were at stake; their need was great. 2. Daniel's ascription of praise to God (vv. 19-23). God heard their prayer and Daniel responded in lofty strains of praise to God. 3. Daniel before the king (yv. 24- 30). Because he had been with the Lord and had obtained wisdom, he was confident before the great king. 4. The content of the dream (vv. 31-35). Daniel made known to the king that in his dream he had beheld a great image with a head of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron and feet part of iron and part of clay. He beheld the image smitten by a stone and the stone became a great mountain. III. The Interpretation or the Dream vv. 36-46). 1.

These A Terrific Sea-Change Hyphenates of United States Have Now Something to Think About Mr. Hearst's admirers among the guild of hyphenates must look upon him as lost to them forever. Hardly had he landed from the British ship that carried him to perfidious Albion than he was taking luncheon with David Lloyd George, and oh Monday in .Paris he made this astounding statement: "The English seem to have forgotten their war antagonisms more than any other country and to have -set to work more seriously to bring about Europe's reconstruction. With them, apparently when war ends business begins, and they are right." The admission that the English are right about anything: is evidence that Mr. Hearst has suffered a terrific change. Lloyd George must have given hiin a most potent luncheon. The "hyphenates confront the amazing defection of their former spokesman. Hearst singing the praises of England is a spectacle calculated to fill his dupes with frenzy.���New York Tribune. The majority of centenarians have been poor people who have lived a simple life. .

It has a.J'rame resembling thc frame of an ordinary bicycle much elongated, and mounted upon bicycle wheels. From-the front and rear ends of the frame, posts are erected vertically (the front post being Y shape) and the^e support a small plane. At the rear of the machine are two propel- lersVwhich are caused* to revolve by the rider's operation of the pedals. There is also a rudder controlled by a steering wheel.. He starts off as. he might on . an ordinary bicycle, sitting, on the seat and working the pedals which -drive the propellers. The latter give, motion to the machine and when sufli- cient speed" has- been attained, the rider pulls a lever, which gives the- plane an upward lifting angle, thus causing the air-bike to~rise into the air.

It is very common in young girls and in persons who are overworked or confined within doors. It makes its approach in so stealthy a manner that it is often well developed before' its presence is recognized. " But taken,.in time there is a (onic me'dicine which increases the number of rod blood corpuscles thus enabling the blood to carry the life-giving oxygen to all the tissues of the body, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, havc had much success ih the treatment of this stubborn trouble because of this wonderful property. -, The correction of anaemic, conditions by Dr. Williams' Pink pills is as.certain as anything can. be. 'Take as an .example tho case of Miss Mary D:"Kelly,' Charlottetown- P.E.I.,' who says:���"My blood was thin and wat- ���ery and my system very much run down. I could not' do any work or walk upstairs without resting., l.suf- fered greatly from headaches my appetite was poor and E was also troubled, with indigestion. I began taking Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and in a short time the results* showed they were just, the medicine I needed.

Short Course for Publishers - Wretched from Asthma. -. Strength of body and vigor, of mind are iiajsvit-. ably impaired*, by'th'e visitations or ] asthma.- --Who'..'can- live under lhe | airy dining hall, is. an ideal place for Great Interest Being Taken in Conference of Western Weekly 'News.'V paper Men Thc first Short Course and Conference for Newspaper Publishers, which was held at Manitoba Agricultural College in August last ycai*. provided four days of interest, value and enjoyment to the newspaper men who attended it and was the successful beginning of a cohimunitjv service of importance" to the West. It is. now an assured, certainty that this year's Short Course andv Conference, which likewise will be of four days' duration, beginning Tuesday, August S, will bo still more interesting and enjoyable and of -greater value to those attending it. It will bc a greater success, a success on a larger scale. Governments and all other human institutions exist for thc purpose of serving, tho community, and their justification for existence can be measured only by the value of their service to the community. The Department of Agriculture of Manitoba .provides community service of _many kinds and in varied ways; a large proportion of this service has Manitoba Agricultural College as its centre and "basis of. operation, and the improvement of agriculture, the betterment of the conditions of life and work 'of thc men and women engaged in the. basic industry, of this country' 'as its purpose. Every agency, method and system which serves that purpose serves and promotes, the-progress .-and prosperity of the country as a whole. ' Nothing is more important in this connection than the promotion of a .vigorous ""community' spirit in every district. The-local newspaper is, or should be, the voice of thc community spirit. In co-operating with the local newspapers by means of the Short Course and Conference, Manitoba Agricultural College is thus,doing a public service of inestimable value. ... The committees jn charge are making plans for the Short Course and Conference next August which will provide, . as has been noted above, even more varied interest and-enjoyment for each day than characterized last' year's Short Course and Conference. The newspapermen who bring their wives with them will be doubly delighted,���and���so-^ will- their-wives. There- will be no lack of-entertainment for either. ��� ; ���". Manitoba Agricultural.

They- include flint weapons, adzes, boring tools, a. scraper and other relics of the period. Probably the most valuable find is a profile portrait of a woman on ah inner flake of flint, the features being shaped by numerous small cuts, giving indisputable proof of secondary working. It is similar to other specimens found several years ago, when the late Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace described.them as a distinct addition to our knowledge of primitive man. Some of the articles, it is claimed, establish continuous o��cupation of tho site for many centuries before Christ. The discoveries have been made by David Chambers, who has submitted several specimens to. the British Museum, from which reports havo been received, confirming tho antiquity of the finds. Eat Horses and Dogs Over 5,000 Dogs suid 145^000 Horses Consumed fn Germany "Hot Dogs" is right, Is an announcement from Berlin. Official reports say that 5,500 real barking dogs were transformed into Germany's "hot dog" supply last year. That only counts, the ones that passed the slaughter-houses, not those that were home-butchered. The same reports say that 149,000 horses went the same* way into "hot dogs" against only about 6,0.00 a year before the war. In pre-war days, there is no official record of any dogs reaching the sausage grill. German writers say that this consumption of horse and dog meat in Germany shows that Germany's prosperity cannot be judged by the food served in the hotels, but that Germany is so poor that the poor cannot g.et any meat save" dogs and horse meat. cloud: of'recurring attacks and keep body and mind at their full efficiency?

City Council met in regular session in tlie Council Chambers on Monday, July 3rd, Mayor Gulley occupying the chair aud Aldermeu Kerr, King. Mowat aud Taylor being present. The Council received a letter from Kelowna asking for their cooperation in an effort to have the road completed from Carmi to Mc- Cullough aud so provide a direct motor route between the Boundary district and the Okanagan. The necessary gap to be completed is about five miles at an estimated cost of S15000. This road is a pro- joct that has already been under discussion and the Council decided to uso their best endeavours in furthering tho scheme and tlie Greenwood Board of Trade will also be approached for their support. Tho water committee reported the water supply to be holding out fairly well, but advise consumers to be as sparing as possible in the use of water as the extremely hot weather during the past six weeks has lowered the creeks to a far greater extent than is usual at this time of the year. Some repairs to Twin creek reservoir will be carried out very shortly and by reason of this expenditure the committee hope to ensure a good reserve of water for the rest of the summer. The clerk was instructed to find out what householders were using sprinklers without paying for same and to have the service cut off entirely unless payment was promptly forthcoming as it was felt that the extra expense tq.. be incurred in the endeavour to improve the water supply should not be for the benefit of anyone not prepared to pay the usual sprinkling rate, and it is" also probable that later on in the season the. hours for sprinkling will' be restricted..-' .- 7 Certain lots owned by the city on the west side of Copper "St.. and east side of Silver St., were named forreservation for ��� street /purposes, A: by-law. for authorization to sell lands' and.properties, owned by the city and same to -be" subject to the approval of the City Trustee was submitted, and; passed its'- 1st and 2nd reading."- ..-, ��� ; .- .-"V ' '"-: ..The pound committee {reported progress- in the - vyorking of--- the pound"by-law and many favorable comments have been made by the citizens regarding the. absence of animals near.their properties.* , 7 .
