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.

The Greenwood Restaurant is now located in the building known as the Thomas Tailor shop. The rooms have been renovated and the dining room is more convenient and comfortably than in the old quarters. Considerable improvements have been made to the Rock Creek Hotel during the past two weeks. This" hotel is now under the popular management of Mrs. Alice Bjorkman who was in charge a few years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Fleming of Keremeos, spent a few hours in town on Sunday evening enroute to Nelson where they will reside. Mr. Fleming is an agent for the Sun Life Assurance Co. and has been transferred to the Nelson field. H. P. Thompson died from a heart attack while reading in the Province hotel'in Grand Forks on Nov. 30th. The late Mr. Thompson was well known in the Boundary, being for the past two years associated with C. M. Tobiasson in the B. C. hotel at Cascade. Oldtimers here will remember Mr. Thompson when he was a proprietor of the Vendome hotel (since razed) in Anaconda. He was in his 70th year. The funeral was held in Grand Forks on Friday afternoon. . The Spotted Horse Mine is receiving considerable favorable comment these days. This mine is being energetically developed the result of which is being keenly watched by the citizens of town. It is the intention of the management to sink a winze in the upper tunnel This work. has already started. A main level will also'5 be driven 70 feet below the present workings just above the old grade. Machinery will be installed shortly. When the main tunnel gets far enough stoping will commence.' It is expected that the winze will produce about '200 tons of ore and will open up over three times that amount, besides what will be taken out of the main level. Most of the ore will be shipped and the low grade will be saved for mill feed for the proposed concentrator. A. Franchie, mining engineer, of Seattle, representing H. C. Myrick who is president of* the Silver Charm .Mining Co., who has bonded the Spotted Horse Mine through C. E. Bartholomew, president xof the Jubilee Mining Co., gave this mine a thorough examination this week and was high in his praise of the property. In an interview with The Greenwood Ledge Mr. Franchie said:tr "After a careful investigation of"' the Spotted Horse Mine at Greenwood I am" more than pleased with the showings and development work, the prospect of a large ore body is proved, all it needs is work to break the ore as tonnage and value is there in the mine. Machinery will be sent to the property as soon as possible probably in a few days., This mine has the- most economical location which , can be desired and it will be a success, it will further prove that the Greenwood district is a rich mineralized zone. Very, shortly a concentrator -will-be installed, as sodnas enough^; tonnage' of milling ore is broken. Then a new life will started in the old mining town as this district has millions of tons of rich ore broken on dumps" and in mines awaiting a concentrator, a skilled metallurgist to handle the ore. The lack of technic has delayed the development of this rich country. The-Spotted Horse Mine will bring in the necessary equipment, and-will be a model for others to mill their ore and develop their mines. The Spotted Horse Mine will put the name of Greenwood on the map once more."

A. WHITE Watchmaker and Jeweler F. J. White, Manager E. F. Keir and son,' Lewis, called at this office on Wednesday and showed the editor a shipment of 10 foxes from Calgary valued at $5,000. Eight of the animals are owned by Matthews Bros, of Grand Forks and they will be taken care of by the Keirs' at the Cedar Glen Fox Farm. The other two were _ delivered to Joe Trombley who is starting a fox farm near Phoenix. Great strides have been made at the Cedar Glen Fur Farm during' the past year as at present there are housed on this place 19 silver black foxes, about 100 Chinchilla rabbits and 20 silver black rabbits. The friends of George Lamb, an oldtimer of this town, will regret to learn that he is in St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver. In a letter to Andy Sater, Mr. Lamb says: "I would .have written sooner but as I have lost a little finger on my .right hand I was unable to do so. I met with a bad accident five weeks ago at Hanson's camp up the coast. A lug out of the front of the machine broke arid the main line struck me. My righl leg is badly broken, the X-Ray picture showing, a main break and eight pieces of different sizes. The doctor has hopes of making the leg... good again, but it will take at least six months." Xy Greenwood Ledge ads for results The regular meeting of the City Council' was held in "the City Office on Tuesday evening Dec. 7th. Mayor Gulley presiding and present Aldermen Taylor, Peterson and King. Several interesting letters to the Council were read from property owners on the outside congratulating the members of Council in being able to carry ori so well and also enclosing amounts of taxes due. The trustee's preliminary report was submitted and it was agreed that all points of city affairs were carefully gone over. The financial standing of the city would have been materially the same as last year but allowance was made for the extra expenditures in connection with building repairs and purchase of the electric light system, negotiations for the latter receiving great praise from the. trustee even though his bondholders would be. paid less than the previous year because of this purchase. Water committee reported satisfactory repairs to broken mains and a good supply of water in reserve. The actions of the Buildings committee relating to the renting of properties and demolishing of some old buildings was approved. Alteration of fire..alarm system was reported complete and system in good working order. An elaborate map from the B. C. Provincial Public .Works Department and letter in connection with the proposed system of high-, way signs was submitted and approval expressed by the Council.

' UONTREAL TOflOHYO WIN NITEd EDMONTON VA..COt_VK�� CM.GARY The Sal es Tax Spokesmen for tlio various organizations throughout the country which are advocating reductions in Federal taxation, including abolition of the Income Tax,''are'stressing, noL so much the need of reducing tho��� burden),borne by the individual taxpayer, but the necessity of encouraging��� investment'in productive enterprises and in national'-worksof development. Their main; argument Is that the Income Tax penalizes enterprise, drives people out of the country because of the levies imposed on them; and discourages investment in industrial and development works, leading people rather to invest in non-speculative bonds and securities. If this is the chief end to be achieved'through a further reduction in taxation, and if the all-important consideration is- the stimulaion of-business anil consequent-greater employment of labor throughout. Canada,, then the Income Tar is not the only one which should be carefully examined to ascertain its effect on business and economic conditions., The Sales Tax, which imposes a five per cent Government levy on business should be .nquired into as .well. ' The Income Tax is one. which the wage earner, the-man* on. a salary, the farmer, the manufacturer, the financial man, and.those who are living on the interest from investments, cannot pass on to anyone else. They must pay to the Government on their personal incomes, and pay'proportionately large or small amounts dependent upon the size of their income. In. this respect it must be admitted that a properly graded tax on incomes is a fair method of taxation. The Sales Tax, on the other hand, is,' in the final analysis, paid by the ultimate consumer, and the manufacturer, the financial magnate, the investor in bonds, mortgages and other securities, only pays to. the extent that he is a consumer, and despite great wealth and large inscome it is only possible for a man to eat so much, or wear-so many clothes, just as the average wage earner or. man on a salary. True, his /clothing! and food and furniture may cost more, but the extent of his purchases are more or less regulated by his needs." s ; The manufacturer of a given article fixes his selling price. To that he adds five per cent Sales Tax which'he ,1s obliged;to remit to the Government. But he collects this tax money back again from the jobber, wholesaler, the merchant to. whom he sells his product. The manufacturer does not pay the Sales Tax himself. In like manner the jobber, wholesaler and merchant passes it on to the ultimate consumer, all as part'of the -cost of the a.rticle7 Tlie consumer, therefore, pays theiax to the Government, thc others being middlemen in the, process of collection. j', W-W,- *--.-.��� This Sales Tax, therefore, operates directly to enhance-prices in Canada J2J1/J,- .consequently, to decrease tlie purchasing power of the' whole people. It likewise imposes additional expense upou all business- concerns in the matter of bookkeeping,; collection, remittance, and interest paid ou outstanding moneys. :" W ��� It is a self-evident proposition that the removal of the Sales Tax would result in saving to every person'iii'the Dominion, hecause;all, are consumers, whereas the rem'ovarof the tax on incomes would only beuefit a comparatively email proportion of the population, arid that portion.which is best able to pay. : The removal of the.Sales.'Tax, aiid the consequent loweriug of prices which would automatically follow'; wquld increase the purchasing power of people, ieading'fo larger sales, and necessarily increased production and more employment.** " .���.'���'���������'���) ' In a word, the effect of the removal of the Sales Tax would be just what the advocates of Income Tax abolition desire, namely, an 'added impetus to -business, to production, lo employment wliich would keep people in Canada, and to, the. whole all-round developmentof the, Dominion,, including the bringing of its ' wealth of natural resources into use through development., ____==^On-the=other_band,=if=tlM The Strength Of Radium Floor Alive With Emanations 'After Repeated Washings When Small Quantity Was Spilled Once in a laboratory a tiny tube containing less than two thousandths of an ounce of radium was accidentally dropped on a hardwood floor and broken. With a camel's hair brush they swept up the radium. Then they washed' the floor with ordinary water to get the rest of it. But enough remained to render necessary another washing, this time with acidulated water, and still another, with soda water, and a fourth time, with hydrant water. Each washing ��� yielded about ��100 .-worth of radium, and still the floor was alive with radium emanations, and no -accurate scientific measurements could be made in that room. Finally a carpenter came and scraped the floor. Throe years later the shavings were burned, and the ashes were found to be strong in radium emanations. - GIVES STRENGTH tained, it will result in lowering tlie taxation imposed on/accumulated and invested wealth without in the slightest degree benefiting the wage earner and man on a small salary, or that huge body of our population whose income's are below taxable amounts, but, these people will all still "contribute heavily through tlie Sales Tax, which would continue as a drag on business expansion and national development. " . *> IT the financial requirements of the Dominion Treasury can stand it, reduce ilie Income Tax by ail means/and, as proposed in a previous article in this column, provide for continued .gradual'reductions over a/period of years. But if one la x is to be abolished- outright and, tho other retained, the removal of: the Sales. Tax would appear to confer the greater benefit, not only ori business enterprise and works of development, but on the people of Canada as a-whole After Acute Diseases the Blood Must be Built Up Before (( Recovery is Complete Fevers and other acute diseases like pneumonia and influenza, leave the patient weak, with thin blood and unstrung nerves.-.". The:-.period' of convalescence is often long and trying, and years of poor health have frequently followed so brief an illness as an attack of influenza or pneumonia. Much o.f this sort of misery could be avoided by taking steps to build up the blood so that it can carry to the nerves and other tissues of the body the elements they, need to restore their normal functional activities. To build up the blood and restore it to its rich; health-giving vigor, no other medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. From first to last it is their mission to improve tho blood and thus restore good health and vigor. The value of these pills In conditions described abo^e is shown by the statement of Mrs. Rebecca O'Brien, Pembroke, Ont., wlio says:���"In Nov., 1923, I was stricken with pneumonia, and .at the/ time but little hope was held out for my recovery. However, with the best of care I was able to walk about after some months. But I did not recover my strength. The doctor told me I was anaemic. My appetite was poor, I grew nervous, and restless, I'was deathly pale and practically gave up hope of eArer being strong again; "....However, remembering ihat in my: girlhood I had taken Dr.. Williams.'.Pin^c Pills/with decided success, I decided to try them again. By the. time I had used two boxes there was no doubt the pills were helping . mo. Continuing their use I "was soon able'."to'attend to my household duties. I continued taking the pills, however, until'I..had used twelve boxes, by which time I was en-joying ���better health than at any time iu the previous ten years. In gratitude for what the pills' have^ done for me. I give this statement in the hope that it may point the way to health to some oher weak, despondent woman." :You can get these, pills from any medicine dealer^ or by mail at 50 cts. a box from' The Dr. .

Reglsi* Why Canada Owns aine U.S. Built Million Dollar Fort' on Wrong Side of Border The operations of rum runners In the Richelieu River, really using old Port Montgomery as a base for operations at the fool of Lake Champlain, recalls one of tho historic blunders of the Government following the War of 1812, says the New York, Evening World. ' ' ' The Government built-a million dollar fort on a GOO-acre tract, erected emplacements for two tiers of guns of that period and then had its attention called to he 'fact that he whole fort was in Canada. It's slill there, a monument to the blunder of engineers and statesmen, and Is referred .to. by the army" as Fort Blunder. Later on tiie British Government agreed to the changing of the line, hut it was a great laugh on the Government, and tlie army particularly. Old Fort Montgomery, which has figured' in the news lately, was authorized while ihe country was at war with Great Britain in J812. Some one sold President Madison and the War Department tho idea of an army post -above Lake Champlain. Congress passed the, bill, but the Government was too busy to get right lo work at it, so construction., was delayed - for some years. The engineers drove tlie stakes and il. is supposed the contractors did the rest., It was some years building with Its' wonderful terraces of solid masonry, and after it was all done the discovery came that it was not on United States soil. _ What happened when the United States had its attention called to tbe fact that it didn't own the ground Fort Montgomery stood upon is tucked away Iu the archives. The affair was -taken-up-diplomatically-and-GreatJBri-. tain acted very decently.' John Bull was open to suggestions. Uncle Sam suggested they get up a trade and matters went on until 1S-12, when the Webster-Ashburton Treaty was signed. The United States gave up a part of Aroostook County, Maine, to Canada that that country might share.the hon ors of growing,the best'potatoes_in -America with the State of Maine,'and. Great Biitain changed' the .boundary so that Fort. Montgomery, was on United-States soil. Hunting Germs With Airplaiies - Profitable Sport Undertaken by the Royal Canadian Air Force. Hunting germs with'airplanes is the latest sport of'the Royal Canadian Air Force. It is'a sport which promises , to bo very profitable to the farmers t v _ of Canada and-the United States. Ever since the close of the war the Royal Canadian Air Force has heen employed in peaceful services of an outstanding character. ��� Patrolling thousands of square miles of forest, mapping by-photography the rich mineral lands of--northern Canada, and now 'hunting 'germs. The hunt is being conducted as part of the effort being made-by-the Canadian Government to stamp out Jhe'dis- ease of rust in wheat... In coHfeection with the Dominion Rust Research Laboratory at j Manitoba Agricultural College investigations are being made by the Air Service as to the existence of rust spore :in the atmosphere." By means, of'devices for the purpose the. planes havo succeeded in trapping spores'at'an altitude as high as 5,000 .feet, ahd, sometimes at distances moro than 300' miles from the nearest wheat-growing area. Tlie .Canadian Department of Agriculture has already succeeded in- producing, early ripening.*-;varieties of wheat which have forced' the 'wheat line further and furl her .north until Canada has become the greatest wheat exporting country in the world. It is believed that means will also be found to stamp out rust, and farmers of the whole continent will be placed'under a furtlier debt to scientific research.

Goes After Rare Birds Rogue Rat in London Zoo Has Destroyed Many Valuable Ones Just now there is an intensive campaign at the London Zoo to capture a "rogue rat" which infests the..Parrot House and murders- beautiful little Jhings such as love-birds.
