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.

Rory McLeod, of Ainsworth, has promised to ride on a water wagon for seven months. In May the Ben Hur mine at Republic shipped 750 tons of ore to the Greenwood smelter. The real estate peddler is dead, and his mantle is being worn by his brother, the oil stock fakir. The moving picture men are slow. As yet they have no. pictures of the oil boom in Alberta. Dr. Hamilton, of Victoria, was fined $40, for driving an auto too fast through the streets of Duncan.

It is down 850 feet, and struck hot water at a depth of 600 feet. At the Lanark mine, 32 miles east of Revelstoke 12 men are working. This mine was staked in 1886 by J. Boyd. This month 21 years ago, Burke's bank in Kaslo failed, and the depositors have not yet received any of their money. Volney D. Williamson, whose wife sued him for a divorce in Spokane last week, kept a cigar store in Kaslo 22 years ago along with Evan Jones. He made his start towards a fortune by grub-staking a prospector in the Slocan by the name of Doherty. Later he made a large Bum of money in Bo__laad. W. L. McLaughlin died in Kaslo last week aged 82 years. He was an old-timer in the west, having been in the gold rush of '49 to California. A Greenwood man recently found a rich mineral lead in his potato patch. He covered it up for fear that a boom might be started in the town. Three foreigners got into a fight over a poker game in Clinton the other day. They were fined $100 each, and the chap with a gun in his pocket was fined $20 extra. At China Rapids, on the Fraser river, between Fort George and Qnesnel a scow recently upset and marooned 13 men on a rock. They were rescued by the steamer Hammond. TheSicamous, the new C.P.R. steamer on Okanagan lake cost $180,000. It has a speed of 19 miles an hour, and a capcity for 400 passengers, and 900 tons of freight. Captain George Raulston died in Republic last week. During the Civil War he was with the 24th New York cavalry. For 15 years he had owned mining claims near Danville. Ed Corning runs an hotel in Revelstoke, and can mix 49 different kinds of cocktails. One day his cook rushed into the bar, and told Ed that he was out of wood. Ed went to the lumber office and ordered all the slabs they had at the Three Valley mill. The next day he had 17 carloads of slabs at his back door, and he did not run out of firewood for four years. It is reported that the C.P.R. is losing ��75,000 a month in District No. 3, with Nelson as headquarters. Last year it was reported that the C.P.R. was losing a million dollars a year in B.C.. The C.P.R. figures the wrong way. The B.C. lines area part of the entire system. If the entire system pays, the B.C. roads must pay as part of that ... system. If the entire road does not pay, shut'..'er down, and give us back the pack- train. The best assortment of fresh groceries in the*'city at: Smith's. Advertising Neglected (From the Winnipeg Commercial) Here is the argument advanced by many merchants in the smaller towns. "Our advertising does not pay and we just advertise to keep up the local paper." The very fact that the local paper should be kept up is an in- dieation that the paper is an actual benefit to the town. A town without a local paper certainly lacks something and a town with a good local paper certainly has an asset which thetown should be proud of- and which the local merchants could and should use to advantage. Most any merchant who has a sense of pride in the town in which he lives and in which he conducts his business would be willing to pay to the local paper as much: as five dollars a month just as a matter of support even if he carried no ad at all. But the trouble is that the average merchant looks on this newspaper space as a donation and simply means "any old thing" for an ad. and changes his copy when he happens to think of it. The trouble lies here: The merchant neglects the advertising end of the business entirely. Then, after displaying the most absolute disregard for this phase of his. business he insists that hisjadvertislng does not pay. Suppose that the merchant paid as little attention to his customers as he does to his ads. he would soon have no customers. If your ads. are not read it is the fault of your neglecting this important part of your business. If a merchant admits that he does not expect his ads. to pay how much effort and energy is he going to give to them.? The same old ad. about the same old store, with nothing new from week to week and month to month, will indeed never be read. ���-->; Invisible suspenders���a necessity and comfort for warm days.

It is passion and not love, that creates jealousy, Thinking Themes The toll for speed, upon land and sea, makes millions weep. You cannot be real lovable unless you are healthy mind and body. in He who works for money alone never reaches the highest point in any profession. Some people save their lives by procrastination. They just miss the boat that sinks at sea, Three shell men could make millions in Calgary, if they could put the police to sleep for a week. After a while they may have oil to burn in Calgary, Just now all they have is money. There is enough paper made in Canada in one day to keepQThe Ledge going for 1,700 years. Nature is extremely wasteful of the material at its command, It turns out one man to a million misfits. IT will be 99 years next Thursday since the battle of Waterloo. It was an awful battle, and not a survivor is left to tell the tale. Speed was the cause of the recent great disaster on the St. Lawrence river. If both boats had stood still no lives would have been lost. No Risk Whatever He had risked his life to rescue the fair maid from a watery grave and of coarse her father was duly grateful. "Young man," he said, "I can never thank yoa sufficiently for your heroic act. You incurred an awful risk in saving my only daughter." "None whatever, sir," replied the amateur lifesaver. "I am already married." Good for Ducks Some time ago an Irishman pre sented himself before a Liverpool magistrate to seek advice. "Sorr,', he said, "I kapes hens in me cellar, but th' water pipes is burst, an' me hens is all drowned.'' "Sorry I can't do anything for you," said the magistrate; "you had better apply to fehe water company." A few dayB later Fat again appeared. "Well, what now? What did the water company tell you?" queried the magistrate. 'They tonld me, ye honor, to kape docks," wae the reply. What money is in your pocket, politeness is in your soul. Neither may add to your real worth, but both help in your dealings with your fellows. Every normal person wants deference, consideration, smiles and the appreciation from other persons. "��� The only way to get these things is to give them. Smiles are bought with smile., and the price of kindness is kindness. Five cents worth of affability will get you more esteem than a dollars worth of ability. I do not say this as it should be; but it is as it is. To say that you do not care what people think of you, usually means that you prefer that they think you rude, proud and uncivil; and that you are so morally diseased that you enjoy the pain- that this gives you, as a chronic dyspeptic enjoys the pain in his stomach. Sane and healthy souls want to be loved and admired. And this end is attained only by politeness and agreeableness. "Even with virtue, ability and irreproachable conduct says La Brayere, "one can still be insupportable. Manners which one neglects as a slight thing, decides after all what sort of an idea people are to have of you.'' The polite, agreeable person owns the earth. He is the spiritual millionaire.���Dr. Frank Crane. Orchard Lands and Scenic Charms of the Kettle Valley Solomon's Cynicism A ten-year-old Philadelphian was asked by his Sunday Bchool teacher to write all he knew about King Solomon, and to hand in his paper the next Sunday. As per instructions, the lad submitted the following: King Solomon was a great and a wise man. He had one hundred wives. After that he did not believe in God." One Missing The following story is credited to Senator Sbafrotb, told while discussing the currency bill ,and its misreading: The superintendent of a Sunday school repeated to the children the text. "Arise, and take the young child and flee into Egypt." Then the superintendent showed a large picture illustrating this text in bright colors. "Isn't the picture fine?" he said. "Here is the mother. Here is the young child. There's Egypt in the distance. Isn't it fine?'' The children, however, looked disappointed, and finally a little boy piped out: ���'.".-.:��� "Teacher, where's the flea? We are not sent into this world to do anything into which we can not put our hearts. We have certain work to do for our bread and that is to be done strenuously; other work to do for our delight and that is to be done heartily; neither is to be done by halves or shifts, but with a will: and what is not worth this effort is not to be done at alL���John Buskin. ( British Columbia fruit growing districts claim particular attention just at this time of the year when the growing season is in its infancy. How will the crops tarn out and what of the markets? In the more advanced sections of the province the indications are that this is to be a banner year in point of production, and, under organized and co-operative efforts, it would appear that a solution of the marketing difficulties hitherto experienced has been reached. The day when the Canadian market for Washington and Oregon is past, and the home grower finds that his brother on the prairies and in the large cities throughout the Dominion gives the preference to the home product whenever the grading is at least, equal to that of the foreign competition. -.GRICULTUEE, MINERAL AND TIMBER As in the Okanagan Valley, the remarkable success attained by its fruit growing and agricultural industries have made the Kootenay and Boundary countries famous the world over. Confined within its bounds there are great [areas of mineral aed|timber wealth as well, which together with superb climatic conditions throughout the year, picturesqua scenery unequalled in extent and magnificence, and, perhaps, more important than all, its exceptional railroad facilities, which bring the district nearer to markets of the Middle West than the growers south of the international boundary. High cost of transportation is an obstacle which is being surmounted, and though it may, to a certain extent, have prevented distribution of all produce on a profitable basis, it may at least be said that it equally militated against importation. Thns, in a measure, it .fiorded .home protection to the men who were doing the pioneer work of building up the principal centres of the coon- try. NETWORK OF RAILROADS Glorious panorama, containing farm houses and cultivated ranches are in the Boundary and Kootenay districts. Natnre was in her happiest mood when she smiled upon the luxurious environment of these districts. But there is something more than the scenic charm and agricultural possibilities behind the growth aod importance of this section of the country. With seven working lines of three railroads in operation, the opening of the Kettle Valley line near at hand and the Great Northern and C.P.E. connections between Grand Forks and Princeton and Grand Forks and Hope, the district is not only on the eve for greater development than it has hitherto enjoyed, but will continue to hold iu an unmistakable way the premier position on the railway map of the Kootenay and Boundary country, With the completion of the Kettle Valley line the coast cities will be afforded direct communication with the Similkameen, Okanagan- and SPRING SUITS MADE TO YOUR MEASURE Now is the Time to Order Your NEW SUIT We Have Them in All The Latest Weaves And Colors SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Boundary districts and, in conjunction with the C.P.R., will provide an. alternative main line through SouthernSBritisb Columbia shortening the run between Vancouver and Winnipeg by many hours. Thus, the fruits and agricultural products of the Grand Forks district will be expeditiously shipped to outside parts, aud coast wholesale houses will be enabled to compete ou more favorable terms than exist at present, large portions of the interior now being regarded as the territory of business rivals in Spokane. RANCHERS FAVOR MIXED FARMING Land is still plentiful, and to be had at a figure nearer the financial reach of the average man than in some of the more advanced sections of the province. Nature's gifts are lavishly dispensed. Apples, pears, plums, prunes, cherries and all small fruits, as well as vegetables, yield abundantly, but profits are by no means confined to fruit and vegetable production. Far-sighted ranchers have favored mixed farming as far as possible, anyway, giving room for poultry and hogs. At present the ranch is, perhaps, the main centre of interest, but time will prove that the great possibilities of the mining camps in the immediate vicinity Fear Fear is the most destructive emotion that afflicts the human mind. In epidemics of contagions diseases it has been estimated that four per cent die of fear. Through fear impressions are often made on the minds of children of so appalling a nature that they never recover from the shock. Children have been shut in dark rooms a few hours to punish them for disobedience, and when liberated were found to be idiots, Others have been frightened just as a joke, which proved so serious that they died instantly, in some cases, and expired within a few hours in others. Fear {causes the sonl to shrink within itself and all its sacred centres to grow dark aud dead; while the auric emanations take on au ashy gray or ghastly color and quiver like a mass of jelly. What excuse can be given for allowing sensitive children to listen to Bill Sunday's sermons on eternal damnation in a lake of fire and brimstone? To see lovely little girls from six to ten years of age whose mimls have never entertained a Binfal thought, come marching down the isle, with tears streaming from will place the Boundary country | feQeir eyes, to take his hand and among the leading mineral areas of the Province. Well may thiB thriving district go ahead. Nothing can hold it back from the success it merits���the prosperity it is bound to enjoy.���Victoria Colonist. Mr. Harper was very much better. 80 Mrs. Harper allowed th_ nurse an evening off. As she herself was to keep a very important engagement, she told Bridget to watch the sick room and gave her several orders which, she impressed upon the Irish girl's mind, were very important. .Returning later than she intended, she h eard Mr. Harper moving restlessly, and after quieting him, she sought Bridget for imformation. "I wonder what makes Mr. Harper so restless. He was Bleeping very soundly when I went out. Do you know, Bridget?" "No, mum," said the conscientious girl, "unless I disturbed his mind when I woke him np to give him his sleepin' powder." 'seek salvation from imaginary sins, as a result of having listened to his terrible description of the hell of esernal torment���is it not an awful sight? If he were to brand those beau- eiful children on the cheek and disfigure them for life, the audience wonld rise in vengance and mob him. And yet the brand on the cheek would pass away with the body at death and the spirit bear no soar when it reached the other shore. But to Bhock the tender cortical cells of the brain with those terrible descriptions of eternal torment, causing the fountains of grief to well up, burst their bankB and flow in torrents o'er those lovely faces, leaves a scar on the immortal sonl which will remain.- Ernest B.

The reproducing point of the new Edison Cylinder Phonograph is a diamond It was appropriate that when Mr. Edison was seeking the utmost perfection in sound reproduction he should find that this power lay in the diamond. He discovered it in the course of more than 2,500 experiments, always looking toward rarer sweetness, mellower, stronger tone. He has equipped every new Edison Phonograph with a diamond-point reproducer. When this marvclously impervious tip rejts upon the surface of the unbreakable Blue Amberol Record, the heavier pressure can produce but one result���wonderfully increased volume combined with rarer sweetness.

NUMBER ONE) �� "I always take care of 'Number One." said one of a troop of boys at the end of a bridge, some wanting to go one way and some another. "That's you out and out," cried one of his companions, "You don't think or care about anyone but yourself, you ought to be called Number One. "If I dont take care >of Number One, who would, I should like to know?'' cried he. True, Number One was right. He ought to take care of himself���good care. "But does not that smack a little, of selfishness?' the boys ask. "Number One thinks of nobody but himself." Nobody but himself! that certainly is selfish, and therefore wrong. Yet Number One is committed to our own care. What sort of care is the all important question. Take care of his habits. Make Number One industrious, persevering,, self-denying and frugal. Give him plenty of good healthy work to do, teach him how best to do it, and keep him from lounging and all idle company. Take care of the lips of Number One, I^et truth dwell on them. Put a bridle on his mouth that no angry, backbiting tale shall come from it. Let no profane or impure word escape. L,et the law of kindness rule his tongue and all his conversation be such as becoming a child of God. Take care of the affections and feelings of Number One. Teach him to love God with all his heart and his neighbor as himself; to care for others and share with others; to be lowly in mind, forgiving, gentle, sympathizing, willing to bear and forbear, easily entreated, doing good to all as he has opportunity. This is the care to take of Number One, and a rich blessing will he prove to his home and neighborhood, and himself. Boys! you all have Number One to take care of; and a responsible charge it is. . * * * ��� ���. ���*' DEFINITION OF HOME.

At the same time we are putting in a] sawmill to cut the lumber for our mining requirements. The property is looking particularly good on the 200-foot level."

It is being developed by a local syndicate composed of Messrs. Perkins, Timms and Ryan.���Kaslo Kooten- aian. War Realities General Cronje, the old South African war hero, shortly before he died, referred to the deplorable struggle as follows: When the war broke out, I went, as every Boer who was a man went, and faced the foe that was seeking to destroy the liberty of my country. After many victories I was defeated and captured. I never disgraced my cause or my beloved nation by my surrender. No man could have done better than we did at Paaradeberg. ] was sent by the British to St. Helena, a prisoner. When I returned to the Transvaal, after the conclusion of the war, I found nothing bnt desolation and ruin. My conntry was still black with cinders and stained with blood In the battle of Paardeberg my wife was wounded as she fonght in the trenches. That wound bled out from my heart. I thought I had felt the worst pain. Alas! when I saw the scarred face of my poor conntry, the wound in my heart opened, and bled ont my hope! I looked into my dear old wife's care-worn face and then across the mired veldt. I could not hdpit.;^ I cried. Since that day I have not been able to stand straight. I was old and weak, hungry, and homeless. My children had all died in defense of onr conntry. There we stood, my wife and I, supporting each other in onr misery. How lonely we were! how much alonel I was too old too fight again and strike another blow for onr liberty- too old to walk behind the plow���almost too old to lrve. Vancouver harbor. If it is the intention to send them back to their own country, why nofe do so at once? The immigrants from Europe into Canada in the past eighteen years have not been as a rule, the class of people who make a nation. They are cheap wage earners who leave their families in Europe and send their earnings home. When they have obtained sufficient money to keep them .they return to Italy, Austria, Greece, and their places are filled here with others who wish to make a stake, Canada is simply being exploited to make permanent homes ia Europe for these people. Tho Chinese, the Japs, the Hindus, are here for the same purpose, and as a consequence millions of dollars are taken out of circulation in this province annually thafe should be spent in making homes and supporting families here. The railway companies are principally responsible for tbis class of immigrants. When their hundreds or two miles of construction are completed the immigrants engage in other work. If they cannot get work in any other way they buy a job from the foreman, the superintendent or manager of a concern, by a stipn lated amount monthly returned to fehe employer. The white man��� the home builder���is turned adrift by the unscrupulous manager, superintendent or foreman feo make room for the foreigner, In mining, this system is responsible for the majority of the failures, for in the end it is the shareholder who is the loser from the employment of unskilled labor in the mines. These people are a constant; menace to the lives of men working in a large mine. A short time ago, in one of the largest "mines in the Slocan, a white man had occasion to make repairs in fehe inside of a shoot. He told the car man on ^the level above nofe to dump any ore in the shoot nntirhe was [through with the repairs. The man answered yes, yes, as if he fully understood instructions. A few minutes afterwards a car of ore came down the shoot. Fortunately the man making the repairs'was out^of the shoot at the time. The bohunk who came nearlykkilling the white'man is still employed at the mine, the whiteman is not. | This is one of the almost daily occurrences in the mines in British" Columbia through the employment of unskilled labor. Occasionally a man is killed, frequently men are in j ured. In cases of death the usual verdict is "ac cidental." Had;;the man in the shoot been killed, thej-ohunk on top would have denied receiving instructions, and the verdict would have been "accidental death through not giving instructions to man on level above." The real cause of many of the accidents in our mines is the $5 or $10 a month bribe given by the foreigner to the man in charge.���Slocan Record. A False Light. Socialism is in the air. It has conquered the rankB of labor and excuse for admitting the Hindus I permeated the schools of learning, now being held on board ship in j and now ife marches on the erstwhile citadel of individualism, the clear eved and - iron-hearted band of the great captal of industry. The brainy organizers of finance, trade and manufacture, who have denounced trade unionism and scoffed at the sentimental utterances of pulpit and fiction and pedagogue���these, at least, are tired of competition, and have set themselves to kicking down the ladder on which all achievement, rang by rang, in pain and loss and strife, has come np. They may nofe succeed; bnt if succeed they will fail, and in the crash of that failure will go down the most colossal ruin of human history. One civilization after another has failed, Egypt, Nineveh, Babylon, Carthage, Greece, Rome, and this great Teutonic-Celtic fabric of mechanical industry may crumble to the duet as prone as any. In fehe day thafe fehe competitive system is Jthrown away, onr doom is sealed. Without incentive, ambition "will die away. Without rivalry, exertion loses its point. Without competition, improvement becomes needless and impossible. Without straggle the very faculties atrophy, nerve fails, and muscles are enfeebled with disuse. When onr "harmonization." become complete, nobody will need to build new railroads, or improve facilities, or invent new machinery or study economy, or reward exceptional fidelity or energy. We shall fall to dead level of mediocrity, stagnation, and then decay. The agencies that have built us np will be destroyed, the props will be withdrawn. The great machine will revolve awhile of its own accumulated momentum, and then it will stop. And npon the ruins of what is left the survivors will erect another system, still imperfect no donbt, bat purged of this insidious error of Socialism. Through some such dread experience as this we may have to pass, for Nature will make her lessons understood, afe whatever cost is necessary to those who would set her afe defiance. The process of creation is not to be reversed because some of fehe participants are tired of the struggle.���Harvey Scott. Granite Creek Before the passage of the present strict banking laws in Wisconsin, starting a bank was a comparatively simple proposition. The surprisingly small amount of capital needed is well illustrated by the story a prosperous country town banker told on himself, when asked how he happened to enter the banking business: "Well," he said, "I didn't have much else to do so I rented an empty store bnilding and painted BANK on the window. The first day a man came in and deposited a hundred dollars with me; the second day another man dropped in and depohited two hundred and fifty; and so, by George, along about the third day I got confidence enough in the bank to put in a hundred myselfl" ��� Placer mining1 here is about on a standstill, water on the creek is yet keeping high and hindering work laid out for the Golden Gate Syndicate. Manager R. A. Lambert is waiting patiently with part of his crew on the claim. Patience being a virtue that R. A. has exercised and we all wish him a long, dry and successful season. Above Mr. Lambert on a bench are Messrs. Anderson and Gordon, two more placer miners who have trouble with seepage water at this time of the year. "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick," yet through thick and thin these men plod on with but little oncour- agement for all the work thev have done and certainly their's would scare the ordinary mortal. Success must finally be their portion. Above them on Newton creek, Ja. Pollock, Robt McArthur and J. Stevenson are prospecting, and placer mining is interesting all of them. Gold, platinum, diamonds, copper, and silver lead ores too, what a variety this section contains for the prospector, (who will say that radium cannot be found here?) On the morning of the 30th, at 2 a.m,, a man started an attempt to enter the store here. He broke the front window and extracted a small axe from the inside and was attempting to enter when Miss Emily Cook startled him so much by screaming, that he gave a scream too and hit the window in the excitement aud ran'off. His hat and a pair of wet slippers were picked up just outside of the window and later in the day the small axe was found behind some bushes. Constable Woolford arrested him at Coalmont in the afternoon of the same day and after a hearing before E. Waterman, J.P., at Pririceton, on Monday, he was1 committed to Kamloops for hearing at the assizes. This store is also a Post Office and less than two years ago it was broken into and the cash till robbed, the party caught, and at a preliminary hearing the prisoner pleaded guilty, but when the case came up at Kamloops it was thrown out of court by the Grand Jury. From Nighthawk Garry McBrand and John Gilles have just completed development work on claims recently located, and have opened np a fine vein of silver-lead ore, fully four feet wide. Assays as high as $60 in gold and silver' have been obtained, while samples across the ledge run $47. The strike has attracted the attention of mining men through the country and the owners have received a number of flattering oflers for the claims. They are negotiating with a British Columbia mining and smelting company, that wants to install a diamond drill on fehe property. Besides from fehe vein of high-grade ore that has been opened there is an 8-foot quartz ledge carrying a considerable amount of lead, upon which a 30- foot shaft has been sunk. Values have increased wifeh depth. Ife is on the ledge that the company desires to drill. The recent copper strike in this camp ia adjoining this claim, and ife is confidently expected thafe copper values will be encountered at depth. If the company is successful in obtaining fehis property much work will be done in fehe camp, with the chance of the biggest and best mineral showings ever made in this district this summer. ��� , Hogan���"Did�� Clancy's wife get a separation," . Grogan���"She did; four cops tore her off him." Charge the Enemy General Basil Duke of Louisville commander of Morgan's cavalry following the death of his brother in-law, General^ John Morgan, told this story at a re-union of the ear vivors of the battle of Shiloh. He said that during one of the Tennessee campaigns Morgan's men surprised and drove back a regiment of Federal troopers. In the midst of the retreat one of tbe enemy, who was mounted npon a big bay horse, suddenly turned and charged the Victorious Confederates full tilt waving his arm and shrieking like mad as he bore down npon them alone. Respecting Bnch marvelous courage, the Confederates forbore shooting the approaching foe, but when he was right upon them they saw there was a different reason for his fool- hardiness. He was a green recruit. His horse had run away with him.

"Please, teacher, we've got a new baby t' our house." "Oh, have you Bosie? Isn't that fine? What's the baby's name?" "Ikie." Several days later the teacher remembered to inquire about the new arrival. "Oh, Bosie, how is Ikie today?" The child looked bewildered: "Oh, teacher, we ain't got no Ikie." "Yes, You told me you had a baby." A gleam of intelligence appeared on Bosie's face. "No, teacher, his name's is Mose; his name ain't Ikie. We found we already got one Ikie." | PANAMA HATS | I OXFORD SHOES OF ALL KINDS �� | Stanfield's Underwear. | | Bell's Shoes | 1 Mallory Hats | I Semi-Ready Clothing 1 J^_ ��� ~*m I P. W.
