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.

Bright Future for Osoyoos *.���'������ -* On Wednesday G. S. Walters accompanied by Mrs.; Walters, Mrs. Thomas and W. C. Wilson motored to Osoyoos on a tour of inspection of the "Big 4" ranche. This property is .owned ��by G. S. Walters, Frank Fraser, Major McLaren and W. C. Wilson and is the largest cantaloupe-ranche in the Province. Twenty acres, being devoted to this one product.' In addition early ��� potatoes, corn, etc., are grown. The company owns a Sampson tractor with agricultural equipment and js prepared to grow cantaloupes on a large scale. The work is in charge of Mr. Frank Fraser who has made a wonderful showing in a short time.. On March 1st the property was raw sage brush land which has been cleared, fenced and plowed. It now presents a picture of. a going concern with the cantaloup'e planters busy in the fields. X Osoyoos is the lowest point in the interior of B.C. and decidedly the [earliest for agricultural products, the crops being marketed many days before 'their co mpetitors an d there fo re obtain the highest prices. The irrigation system is the finest in the whole Dominion providing an ample supply of. water at all times. This section has a wonderful future as the ranchers are able to get such large returns from their early produce. Last year Mr. B. Plaskett obtained Sl,400.00 from three quarters of an acre -of cherries while cantaloupes returned an average of $375.00 per acre. On returning from the "Big 4" property the two Greenwood gentlemen we're very enthusiastic over the possibilities of Osoyoos. While in the Valley autos could be- seen in various directions conveying parties of land seekers. In the near future this section will all be settled and form one of the most beautiful and prosperous communities in B.C. jor K. R.

Andrew Nelson and son, Jay, returned from Spokane on Saturday evening with a '2-ton Nash truck, which they are now using to haul ties from the Rock Creek Land Co.'s sawmill near the Bridesville road to the railway at Rock Creek. A considerable number of Green- woodites visited Beaverdell during the week-end and wJfiile there took in the ball game between Beaverdell -and Greenwood, the former winning by 7 to 2. It was a very interesting game. A return match is expected. The teams played on the field across the river and the diamond is one of the~Best in the interior.

Boundary after all, and expects to return as soon as he gets, his "year's experience on the big fox farm. . ' H. T. Newmarch and Charles King visited Beaverdell on Wednesday and renewed acquaintances with the-majority of the citizens of this progressive burg. They were court- esly entertained by. Messrs. Mcintosh & Lee of the- Bell mine," who escqrted them through, the mine and all its numerous - tunnels and workings, showing the different veins of ore. The new compressor was started for the first time on Wednesday and the owners expressed their satisfaction at r.He successful operation of the new plant. ".;.- _ The'Auction at Kettle Valley -was a great success. People attending- it were well repaid by the exquisite view- seen from the hill top,-one of the most striking and beautiful panoramic views to be seen in the district. Tliere were about 250 people present', five or six cars from Grand Forks increasing- the crowd, many' well ktmwn_and_promini* ent citizens being present. The prices obtained for the furniture, &c.,u were remarkably good, the total amount realized exceeded all estimates, The cattle and farm implements were!all disposed of at good prices. This was without doubt one of the most successful auction's held in the district. Midway News Potato planting was dustrv here last week.

' .- The meadows are in the Valley. - -Joe Christian was a visitor to West- bridge on Thursda3r last. Esther Noreu has gone down to the Steeves ranch to help Mrs. Adams for a week or two. Mrs. Cochran went down to West- bridge on Friday to meet Mr. Cochran who has been working near McCulloch Job Printing at The Ledge all winter. It was thought that the heavy frosts last fall and this spring would have killed the fall wheat, but such is not the case. It has come through in excellent shape. It is time prospectors around liere got busy oh the Main Kettle River. The Brewer Creek Claims show that the ore is here, and the natural outlet for it is down this Valley. .More people are going in for dairying up here.

Public-discussion of the tariff changes centres almost exclusively on the :lowering of the duties on automobiles of the cheaper types. The immediate ���effect has been a reduction in automobile prices, welcomed by the public geu- ;,'(.-rally, but which some automobile manufacturers insist means the closing ���of Canadian factories because they cannot compete with those in tho United .-Stales. This remains lo be seen, because no less an authorUy than Henry ;t"ord ssates thai, his linn can manufacture just as cheaply in Canada as in the United Slates, and tliat. they have .been getting higher prices in Canada sim- iply because it was possible, to get them by reason of tariff protection. The --tariff reductions may mean asmaller .profit per car to the manufacturer,'hilt, ���-according Lo.Mr. Ford, cheaper cars, means more cars, sold, and the more cars .-sold, the larger the manufacturers' proiils./ Further, up to'a certain point, .(he.more cars manufactured,, the lower the cost .of; manufacture per car. A.-idc from the relief occasioned by the Iludget reduction in taxation,- people aro interes'led in (learning what national developments have taken place to, inaiic these reductions possible.' Apparently there are two main '.factors. '��� In lhe fir-si'-' place, there has been a notable improvement in business cou- 'dilions throughout I.he Dominion, with a large increase, in the trade--of-the ���country, increased, industrial activity; ami a lessening in unemployment. The ^bountiful crops of last year were largely instrumental in effecting this im- vprovement. As a result, government roYonues have been substantially��� iii- ��� creased, thus assisting to make tax reductions possiblfc. The second .main factor .is the decided 'betterment in the finances of thc 'Canadian National Railways. A few years ago this'system was national in name only. It consisted of a lot of separate railways, several of Ihcm more ���or less at loose ends, and the services being provided were a subject of sharp .criticism and even ridicule.

The Britisher Will Take Chances Britain Prepared to Limit Military and Naval Protection to the Limit The continental powers still present a speclacle of war psychology, a kaleidoscope of international rivalries and a phantasmagoria or political suspicions. Vour Britisher, however, has set to work upon his own business. He wants to make things'heller for himself. -"-- Ai the same time, he recognizes that ho cannot achieve complete success ln thai'way urilil things are made better for others. ��� He looks upon the others not so much-as possible competitors as possible customers. - lie, of course, occupies a specially favored posilion. He knows that, ancl is ready to leave it to his military and naval and aerial ridvisors-to determine what is the minimum of protection he. requires. But ho insists il should be the'minimum. He is, lu fad, \villing to Lake chances, becauso he has come to,.the conclusion that sensible people do not want-another Armageddon. 7 . '*'. In other words, he has- had more than enough of the tortuous roads'.of war, and he wants to tread the paths of peace. He is rc'ad��y to credit his continental neighbors, with similar desires.

C.'s Financial Progress Victoria, May Sth.���Details of the financial progress of British Columbia during-the last decade have just been made public here. These' show in brief that for S100 bond the Province sold in the financial market ten years ag-o it only received S86.20 in, cash, while ever since 1919 provincial credit has improved to such an extent that the average value received in cash for the same S100 bond' works at 598.10.' * " Other statistics included in the statement show that in 1916 current obligations unpaid amounted to; S2,- 000,000, that accrued obligations unpaid amounted to a similar sum, that Pacific Great Eastern bonds were guaranteed to the extent of $2,060,000 and no sinking fund had beeu provided, that Canadian Northern Railway bonds also had been guaranteed to the extent _o_l$48,ogo,000, that there was a short- ��� age of sinking funds of no less a sum than ��628,000. .*. It is also a fact that a Civil Service salary list at that time absorbed something like 28 p.c.��of the revenue of the Province, that an anticipated deficit of ��5,000,000 on current account for the year had to be faced, aiid that there -was only the small sum of 854,000 in actual cash in the treasury. " The "situation today, however, is entirely different. All the current obligations of the Province are paid in full, and all. its accruing' obligations are satisfactorily provided for. The sinking funds are also paid up to date, and there is a surplus of SI,100,000 in that particular account. A further evidence of the progress made by the.Province in the last decade" is similarly shown in the following statistics: (1) School population has increased 65 p.c. (2) Agricultural production has doubled and mining production increased 43 p.c. (3) Timber production has increased 130 p.c. (4) Pulp and paper output has increased 80 p.c, >and (5) the industrial payroll has increased 25 p.c. in the last three years.
