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.

A Note of Confidence In these days of unrest, of speculation as to thc future, of foreboding even as to what thc future holds for Canada in the face of a period of economic and social upheaval and reconstruction which will likely be marked by much unemployment and in which an enormous increase iri taxation must be laid on thc shoulders of the people, it is gratifying to find a note of confidence and reassurance sounded. And such a note has been sounded in the most unexpected quarter, sounded not in words, perhaps, but in a more convincing manner���by action. It is notorious that capital is timid. that financiers are fearful, that bankers and banking institutions are ultra- conservative, yet it is the chartered banks of Canada which at this time of uncertainty Have sounded a note ���f confidence and are taking the lentl In a forward movement for the future. It is so surprising and unexpected coming from such a quarter as to cause amazement and lead one to search for the reason of it. The attitude ot the banks of Canada today is in sharp contrast to their attitude five or six years ago. Then ihey were enforcing curtailments of credits, ;and in the summer and winter of 1913 put rc- ��� Strictions on all commercial borrowings.. "The land boom in the West had collapsed; the great era of transcontinental railway construction and general building activity and largc municipal undertakings was: over; the banks were "carrying" many of.the great industrial and . commercial houses' of Canada: thc -money markets of Great Britain were practically closed.to further Canadian borrowings; New York-financiers and financial'journals _ were, openly hinting at. disaster tind bankruptcy ih the Dominion; our export trade was -not keeping.pace with our increasing volume of. imports. The , banks shut down.on all-schemes of further expansion. Then came the war; ..-Nevertheless the Canadian-banks stood the strain well, and .were able not only to finance the business of the country arid, the requirements of thc government, but advanced huge credits of hundreds' of millions of dollars to Britain. Much criticism of the banks is heard���no doubt partly justified���but it .must be ���aid to their credit that they proved a tower of-strength to Canada and the Empire' throughout the. war.. . Thc war is all but over. The. time ,.��f, reconstruction, . readjustment, is Upon us with all its possibilities of trade recession, unemployment, and general commercial uncertainty. . -Yet it is aj this time that the chartered banks of Canada arc arranging to increase their, capital, increasing ; dividend's, opening. ne\v branches through- ' out the. country, and, most significant of all, opening branches in France, Russia and the countries of South America. If existing capital was sufficient tb enable the banks. tp "carry On" during the strain of the. warand a period of tremendous industrial activity, why do thcy now require more capital if trade is' to be restricted? Docs not their present policies of expansion indicate that, from all the sources of information at their command, the head officiate of the banks arc rather convinced that a new and greater era of business development is opening for Canada? It would certainly, seem so. It is beyond all question that during the war Canada increased her productive capacity enormously, in agriculture, in manufactures, and in other directions., Manufacturers gained valuable knowledge in. the technique of production and vastly improved their methods. Even with a considerable falling off from the high water mark of war exports during the past ycar or two, their exports would still far exceed those of pre-war days. As a result of the war, and the splendid .part played in the grim struggle by this Dominion. Canada has gained for herself a new place in the eyes of thc world. This country is "on the map," so to speak, as* never before, and nations which all but ignored Canada in the past are almost certain to look our way and trade with our people to an ever increasing extent as the years pass and conditions become more normal. At least the banks seem to think so and are preparing for it. Possibly the greatest criticism of our banks in the past has been that they did not appreciate the full importance of assisting agriculture nor recognize the necessity of adopting a more sympathetic and liberal policy in extending credit on reasonable terms to fanners. It is to the credit of tlic Canadian banks, however, that mQiicy has and is. being supplied to agriculturists at more reasonable rates of interest than has .been supplied our neighboring farmers across the border, the latter being obliged to pay from 10 to 12 per cent, for, moneys borrowed, from the State banks. If, in the v forward movement upon which they are embarking and in their new policies of expansion, the banks make adequate provision for thc rapid development of agriculture thcy will do. much to remove existing grievances and go far tovvards silencing critcism. At thc pa mi' time they will be materially assisting in laying a solid foundation for the future prosperity-of. Canada, and a foundation upon which a strong in��� (lustrial and commercial structure can bc safely erected. Fuel Oil in England London. ��� Important discoveries of fuel oil have been made on thc Duke of Devonshire's estate at Chesterfield, Derbyshire, where exploration has been carried on, on a large scale and under official sanction. The supplies are described as vast. Experts are convinced that several other rich oil fields are in thc country. An authority says there is more oil in England than in the whole state of \ .

See if tongue is coated; this is a. sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels arc clogged With sour waster a definite official fact: Great Britain insists that these ships be destroyed. This proposition, it is understood, will be put before the supreme war council as a part of the British pro- sals for definite peace terms. The published assertion that these ships will be destroyed would seem premature since there is considerable opposition to. this plan, especially on the. part of France. Opposition has been voiced in various quarters to the destruction of thc ships on thc ground that they represent not only a military force, but also material required for industrial purposes. In this connection one important feature of the British plan has not been published. Great Britain docs not propose to destroy the engines or other parts of thc ships whicli have industrial importance. She would remove these parts and then destroy the hulls and armament.
