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.

Thoso present were.: T. M. Gulley, G. S. Walters, Major Gray, Mrs. ltoyce, Mrs. King, Mrs. Newmarch, Dr. Francis, H. T. New- march', G. W. A. Smith and Charles King. The minutes, of tho 192(5 annual Hireling were, read and adopted. Tho Financial Report was pre sented by the Secretary-Treasurer, Charles King. .He stressed the difficulty in collecting the accounts of patients'treated ab the Hospital, the amount of outstanding accounts was .$2,350.00,- and in spite of this the Hospital was sound financially, the full liabilities were $1365 00, the City of' Greenwood being the highest creditors with an amount due thorn for light and water of $296.00. In February last the Board of Directors considered it advisable to consolidate the outstanding debts of the Hospital and pay them off, a loan was made at the Bank of Commerce of $800.00, payable back at the rate of $50.00 per month carryingS% interest. This left a balance due to the bank of $750.00, Lhe otlier liabilities consisted -of coal, and general supply accounts; the assets were made up of $32.30 cash on hand ancl estimated half of the outstanding accounts at $1620.00 which amount seemed collectable. This left a balance of $293.13, which proved the Hospital was sound financially. The Sec.-Treas. reported as to the expenditure on the new Hospital, stating that there had been $8,000.00 expended on the building, $300 on furniture, $840.00 on equipment "'and $575.09 on the operating room equipment and these amounts have' all been paid. As.to operating expenses, the average cost per patient had been $3.59, a great deal of the cost of equipment was included in this charge; 233 patients had been treated, with a total of 2221 Hospital days treatment; 194 patients had been cured; 23 improved; 4 sent to Kamloops and 6 deaths. There had been 28 X-Ray examinations and 82 anaesthetics g'iven. The annual revenue from all sources was $7,063.18 and the expenditure $7992.60. Cash in bank January 1st, 1926, $356.20. Cash on hand December 31st, 1926, $62.31. The Sec.-Treas. stated that- he trusted the directors and general public would, appreciate this statement" aud .wished to, inform the general public'- that"' any ""member���of-the, Hospital Society might examine the books of the Hospital at the Sec.Treas. office. The Financial report was accepted. Dr. Francis, as superintendent of the Hospital, stated that the Sec.- Treas. report had covered the working of the Hospital to a great extent, but he would like to state that he considered the class of work done at-this institution would compare favourably with that done in larger cities. There were two doctors always available and they could consult together on any case needing consultation. Operations were conducted successfully covering iI_widej.:ange._The._Hospital;_.he_con- sidered was an institution that the people of the District should be proud of. The entirely new staff of matron and nurses he considered capable and efficieut. The President, T. M. Gulley, remarked as to the date of the annual meeting, as it should have been held at the end of the year 1926, bnt this date was not convenient for the directors living outside of Greenwood and he suggesten that the date should bc altered. It was unanimously decided that the annual meeting should be held on the third week in April ancl this change bo made in the By-Laws of the Society. The President stated that according to tbe By-Laws the. whole Board of Directors automatically retire and a new Board could be elected. He remarked that the present Board had uo representative from Bridesville and eil'orts that had been made to secure had not met with success. He Pacific Hotel Changes Hands one __ _. ^ then called upon the Society to elect a new Board of Directors. Dr. Francis considered the present Board was very representative of/the District and efficiently handled all the work of the Hospital and he moved that the present Board of Directors and officers be, re-elected en bloc. Mrs. Newmarch remarked that she oonsidered the present Board-should be congratulated on their efficiency and wished to second the motion, which was put to the meeting and and carried. / Major Gray regretted the inability of the District Directors to be present at all the meetings and he construed it as a compliment to the Cit'v Directors, as he representing Kettle Valley might say, he considered the Hospital business was efficiently managed by the active Directors and he knew the District as a whole were quite satisfied. Dr. Francis brought up the subject of an annual celebration of the opening of the Hospital, somewhat on the lines of the Florence Nightingale Anniversary. He suggested that a day could be arranged early in May and that sports of different kinds should be held, terminating with a grand dance, and he begged to make a motion to that effect. .Major Gray seconded and promised to help all he possibly could to make, the day a great success". The President considered the matter well chosen aud to guarantee its sue A real estate deal of considerable importance was' consumated in Greenwood' on .Wednesday when the Pacific ��� Hotel changed hands, J. H. Goodeve being the new proprietor. R. Forshaw acted in the negotiations. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Greig who have conducted this hotel, for many years, are leaving for the coast, Mr. Greig's health which' has not been good for some time, will benefit by the change, it is hoped. Mr. Goodeve will take charge in a few days. Rod and Gun Club Busy The Greenwood District Rod and Gun Club have made application for the stocking of Kettle River with Kamloops trout and' the re-stocking of Long Lake also.- with Kamloops trout. The fishw eries inspector commented . very ' favorably on the results of the two previous years stocking Long Lake, 20,000 fry for each year having been placed there. There'is every reason to think .that the application will receive favorable consideration from the Fisheries' Department, and the promise has already been received by the Club's Secretary, Major R. Gray, that' Boundary Creek will this spring be stocked with Eastern Brook Trout. The annual meeting of the-Rod and Gun .Club will be held on a date to be announced in the near future.

Chinese Women Progressive Are Becoming a Factor in Readjustment of Their Country The women of China will he a factor in the readjustment in that country, according to' Mrs. Grace Thompson Seton who spoke before the Women's Press Club in New York. Describing the achievements of modern Chinese women, Mrs. Seton said one woman author had published 3-iy hooks.

From a state of complete subjection to men women are fast emerging, she said, and banks for women arc being established, i Celebrating-Canada s Jubilee The celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of Confederation should be -well and fittingly observed by all citizens throughout, the length ancl breadth of the Dominion, and no' community however small should fail lo lake advantage of this historic date to review the progress of the country and to strengthen in the minds of all, especially the young, a determination to render worth-while servico to Canada and mako it a still belter land in which (o live and a real power for good among the nations of .tlio world. A strong national committee has boon created by Parliament to give direction to this celebration in its largo national aspects, and Provincial committees aro iu process of formation in each of tho nine provinces. The chief national ceremonies will, of course, bo held at Ottawa, the Federal capital, ancl it is proposed that in each of llie provinces striking ceremonies should bo held at the provincial capital cities. But every city, town, village .and hamlet should likewise organize to commemorate the event. While in the observance of this diamond jubilee,' sports, concerts, fireworks, and other forms of recreation aud pleasure will and should find a place, it is to be hoped that something of a more lasting character will be done or inaugurated that -will materially assist in tho continued and greater development of Canada and advancing it along the path to true national greatness and strength. The Dominion-wide oratory contest no"w iu progress in the schools of the Dominion under tlie auspices of leading daily newspapers is a concrete example o!f what we have in mind. Id is educational, inspirational, and ��� cannot fail to induce a true pride in Canada and its achievements, and help to promote a fine and helpful "national spirit. The study which participation in this contest imposes on lliousauds of students will leave a .lasting "impression, while the training in public speaking that results will prove a real asset to the Dominion. A suggestion has also becn advanced that tiie national committco should create a national prize in literature to be awarded each year lo the best Canadian literary production of the year. Such award might fittingly be announced on each succeeding Doiniuion Day. A really -worth-while" prize would undoubtedly havo tho effect of encouraging a higher standard in Canadian literature. Cannot tlie idea wliich prompted this suggestion be extended to include ���each community throughout tho Dominion? Most of our cities, towns and villages experience a lack of something ol' a public nature wliich could easily be provided at comparatively small expense if the residents would unite thcir efforts in making provision for it. Some lack a community centre; in orhers the absence of a public library is a real losa to tho peoplo; some places have as yet Tailed to make adequate provision, possibly no provision at all, in the shape of parks or playgrounds; many liave neglected to plant trees or create beauty spots to' improve the appearance of the community in which thoy pass their lives. What could be bettor prove, a more fitting observance of Canada's jubilee than the creation of a Confederation Dark, a Jubilee Library, n Canada ���Community Hall, or a Confederation Avenue of trees, o'r something of beauty or of public service along somewhat, similar lines? The above suggestions are merely intended to direct attention to ihc idea and to provoke consideration of it. Each community will be aware of its most pressing need, ancl of its ability to supply that need. Each community, no matter how small in numbers, can do something. AU that^ .is necessary is lhat some thought and consideration be given to the matter, and one or two "live" leaders can quickly secure tho cooperation of all, with the result that something really valuable^ and of lasting'benefit will result in commemoration of tho Diamond Jubilee of Confederation.

Today this Itussian idealist, Anatol Josepho, of New York, has ?l,000,000 iu cash because his idea has been translated into tortus of money. In payment for the invention, which resulted from the idea, Henry Mor- gcnlhau, former United Slates Ambassador to .Turkey, acting as "the head of a syndicate of about a dozen Now York business men, handed Josepho a check for ?1,000,000 in the Sulgrave. Hotel, Park Avenue and 07th Street. The stroke' of Lhc pen that transformed Josepho within a few seconds from a struggling photographer to millionaire did not, however, change bis' socialistic conviction. He plans to use half of the million for charity ancl part of the other half to asisst iu- venlors like himself. 'lhe device tliat. brought Josepho the million is the little-automatic machine that takes a strip of photographs for 25 cents. Josepho conceived tbe idea of the machine when ho had a sniall studio in China, and eked out a bare existence by making cheap "ping pong pictures of th.e natives. But lie had boon a photographer long before then. Horn .at Omsk, in Siberia, 32 years ago', he studied at the Engineering Iustitutc there, and before he was twenty had perfected and patented many .improvements in photographic processes. Vitaglass Is Newest Idea Does Not Exclude Ultra-Violet Rays Like Window Glass Scientists have discovered, at a date if somewhat belated, that glass windows, from the standpoint of health, are one of the greatest evils from which humanity suffers. Thoy do act as a preventive to cold winds, draughts and clamp, but they only give the illusion of light and warmth. The Medical Research Council corroboi- itos tbe fact that when light passes through a window of ordinary glass it is entirely robbed of the beneficial ultra-violet rays. It gives a sensation of Varmih, but, apart from this, it can have no effect on bodily efficiency and well-being. The remedy exists, however, foi both light and the ultra-violet rays are provided by vitaglass, the. invention oi" a Birmingham scientist, Mr. E. E. Lamplough, It has been installed in several hospitals in Great Britain and in the Smithwick Borough Council Schools. Tho installation, it is claimed, has had remarkable results on tlio health of tho pupils. The Morning Post says that vitaglass possesses the property of transparency to tho curative ultra-violet rays of natural light. Wo quote: "Up till quite recently it had been found that quartz or fused silica were tlio only known substances Lhat possessed-this properly of transparency, and their high cost had rendered fhe possibility of their application to windows quite prohibitive. The cost of vitaglass is, however, very little moro than ordinary ^window glass, and so tlio question of its installation in factories and industrial centrbs becomes of considerable interest.

I Canadians Heavy Tea Drinkers Dominion Stands Fourth Among Nations of World in That Respect Each Cauadian drinks over four pounds of tea per yoar, or practically five-times as much as our American cousins to tho south of us. Great Britain .(including Northern Ireland) leads fhe world in point of consumption by using yearly over 400 -million pounds (nearly , S% pounds per capita). Then comes the Uniied Slates with 100 million, but only nino- tcnths of a pound per capita. Next comes-Australia with 49 million, and Canada with 36 million. ��� No reliable statistics are available for China or Russia. Both these countries consume a large amount of tea, but the per capita, is very small. A great deal more tea would bo used on this continent if the public were educated to demand fresh tea. Old tea is flat-and unpalatable. Tea is a very delicate vegetable growth, which deteriorates unless kept sealed. A b.ottle of ginger ale soon loses its flavor-if exposed to tho air. This is exactly what occurs iu the case of tea. A Model of Cleanliness U.S. Will Have Big Exhibit - Hon.

New Anaesthetic Discovered Physicians Expect Bromine Preparation Will Supplant Ether and Chloroform -Ether and chloroform -ir.il take second place as anesthetics if tho claims i of noted surgeons at a meeling of tho Berlin Medical Society in regard to tt new discovery called "107" are sustained. ^ The invention is a bromine prepara tion which js introduced into, the intestines through an enema in the form of- a solution which produces complete anesthesia in a very short time. Dr. Ernest Unruh, director of the .Rudolph Virchow Hospital, reported that 300 tests were entirely successful. The doctor contended that the tiew preparation is an important pro. gress and superior to ether and chloroform. Patients treated with thc new anesthetic fall into a deep-sleep, while tho lieart pulse action and blood pressure remain normal. Tbe most important advantage of the discovery Dr. Unruh stated as the fact (hat the now anesthetic does noi endanger tho heart, lungs and nerves, Jind makes operations possible .even In severe cases of pneumonia and advanced tuberculosis. "107," it was said, may ,be used without danger of narcosis in old people, and permits operations on the face," nose and throat because an inhalation mask is not needed. Patients on awakening are'not troubled by tho excitement and vomiting common after tho application of other and chloroform. ��� The optimism of tho reporting physician i3 dampened'by thc admission that it.is slill too early to pass final judgment, on account of only 500 tests baying been made so far, but the doctors, agreed that .there i3 a strong possibility, of the'new method eventually supplanting inhalation, though use of ether is fatal in _onlv one case 'ti 10,000. Machinery Tested la Huge Padded Ceil Underground Chamber Enormousiy Strong and Provided With Means ' for Observation A padded cell to protect people from loose nuts, though not of the human variety, has just been completed at the works of the Metropolitan Vickers Electric Company, of Manchester, England. It-is a protection not only against loose ,nufs," but against bolts, gears and screws ah well, for the "cell" is a chamber lot testing high speed machinery, whicn is. liable to fly to pieces under tin? strain. e When a piece of such machinery is completed, it is tested in the chain ber, which is underground and has walls nine feet six inches in thickness, composed oi' wood, steel, bags of sand, air cushioning space and reinforced concrete. It is large enough lo lake "rotors" _M Jeet 6 inches in diameter, or shafts 40 feet long. High speed motors turn thc machinery un der test, which'is watched from outside by moans'of various electrical devices and fast cameras. In addition, by means of a hole bored through it shaft, a special telescope permits ac tual scrutiny of flu* interior of a moving part. Tho need-for such protection is emphasized in a recent issue of the scientific magazine, Nature, where il is staled that in a 25,000 horse-power, electric generator driven by a water or steam turbine, and running at 3,000 revolutons por minute, the rotating part weighs about 20 tons, aud the energy is about" tlie samo as that develo'pcd in a head-on collision between two railroad trains each' carrying fourteen cars nnd running af 35 miles an hour. . - ���' rary fn Danger Of Collapse Galleries in ��� British Museum Not Built to Stand Increaoinrj Weight Tlio "Iron Library", of .the British Museum, with its '1,000,000 irreplaceable'volumes, is in danger of collapse because of the increasing woighl ot new publications that-ara added daily.

The festival itself, is? both commemorative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and as a memorial to the atonement wrought by the death of the Master upon the cross. It is hailed with great acclaim in all the Christian Churches of -tho world. In Greek and Latin and in the languages derived from them, Easter was known as "Padcha," "Pasch,"" "Pasqua," ' "Pascua," "Paxues," etc., from the Chaldee word, "Pascha," the equivalent of the Hebrew "Pcsach." T h e "Destroying Angel's act is recalled by the same name in "passing over" the households of the Hebrews: when he f=mote the Egyptians, as disclosed in the twelfth chapter of Exodus. This year Easter will fall on April 17th. The way by which Easter is determined is that after the first Sunday after the paschal full moon���the fourteenth day of the calendar moon, or the full moon which happens upon or next after March 21; and if the full moons happens on a Sunday, then'Easter-day is the first Sunday following.
