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.

Greenwood Branch 1* E. Brawders, Manager Transfigured To careless eyes she is not fair: This verdict careless lips declare, And wonder why, against the charm Of beauty, vivid, rich and warm The face they deem so cold and dull To him should be so beautiful. Are they too dull to see aright? Hath he a quicker, keener sight? Or is it that indifference Than love hath clearer, truer sense? Now is he right or wrong? Oh, say. Doth he behold her face; or they? Her eyes into his own shine With strange illumining; a sign Is on her brow; a palimpsest To his own gaze alone confessed; On him, in gra\ely gracious mood, She smiles her soul's beatitude. This is the face she turns to him, Oh, say not 'tis & lover'a whim That finds it fair; nor are they dull Who says she is not beautiful. For strangest of all mysteries, They never sefe the face he sees��� That face no artist's skill can limn Tha lore-fair face she tarns to h\m.

Western Float Worth Going After A visitor to a small country town lost his dog, an animal which he prized very much. Ku8htng to the office of the local newspaper, he handed in an advertisement offering five dollars for the return of the dog. Half an hour later he thought he would add tb his advertisement the words: "No questions asked." So he hurried off to the office again. When he got there the place was empty save for a small boy, who looked very sulky. "Where's the staff?'" asked the tourist, glancing round the deserted room.

Than Herded Flocks Probably only a small minority of thc sheepmen in this country know that by using a system of fenced pastures, instead of the present open- range herding, they can increase thc size oi their lambs from five to ten pounds in a single season, make the wool��clip from one to three pounds heavier, reduce the acreage now required one-third, and decrease the present loss and cost of handling four-iiftlis, says Robert H. Moullou, iii an illustrated article in the May Popular .Mechanics Magazine. These figures represent the records of co-operative experiments carried on for a number of years by the U.S. Forest Service and lhe Bureau of Plant Industry. To compare the number of sheep that thc range in question would support under the two systems, observations were made To ascertain the grazing capacity of approximately 30,000 acres surrounding thc experimental area. During the first year the herded flocks used from one aud j si;m([illtr a half to two limes as much range per head as the pastured sheep, the second season showing a similar percentage. Thc. lambs were weighed and marked at llic time lliey were turned loose Saskatchewan's Wool Output Steadily Increasing Each Year and Better Prices Prevailing Between 400,000 and 500,000 pounds of wool is expected lo bc handled for Saskatchewan farmers through the co-operative organization branch of the provincial Department of Agriculture this year. In 1918, somewhat over 394,000 pounds.of wool vvas handled by this branch which was an increase over the quantity of the previous ycar. In fact, since a proper system of grading was intioduced not many years ago, thc wool output has steadily increased each year and farmers have obtained belter prices every season. Last ycar Saskatchewan farmers received an average price of JS1/1 cents a pound for their wool, and it is believed lhat similarly high prices will be maintained for some years to eome. "Any ycar is a good year to start in thc sheep business in Saskatchewan," remarked W. H. J. Tis- dale, Professor.of Animal Industry, at the Saskatchewan University, recently, a remark which applies with equal force to all three provinces, notwith- thc present high price of sheep.

Y0UCANTRUB RHEUMATISM OUT It Is Rooted in the Blood and Must Be Treated Through the y -X; "���-���' Blood The pain of rheumatism is.,^something that you cannot rub out. Every sufferer from rheumatism: has been advised to rub this liniment or that on the affected part, bul after all the rubbing the-p;iiu remained. Rubbing did not cure it/arid- can't cure it. yThin blood and rheumatism comc together ,and if .they arc . properly treated" Ihey-ivilf go together. Rheumatism is rooted in the blood, in poor, watery blood.

This is exactly what is done in lhe treatment of rheumatism with Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Acute and muscular rheumatism show improvement as" the thin blood is built up, and when the blood has been re Refugees are Starving Igdir, Trans-Caucasia. ��� A systematic removal and the destruction of crops and food supplies carried out.by the Turkish troops in the southern part of Russian Armenia, even after the signing of the armistice, has - left the country in astatc"~of famine.

The Paris bianch of the great Walkeasy Shoe Company of America was, like all of thc company's retail stores, a splendidly stocked and handsomely furnished establishment which did a steady and profitable business and was thc despair of lhe local trade.

Consignments arc now being madc regularly East aud West, to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts as well as overseas and to some of thc largc cities in the United Slates. The high standard of qualities originally adopted is being surpassed. Now all three provinces recognize a standard superior to thc first. This is called "special," and il is 'as near as possible to an ideal quality. Of lhc butter graded iu Saskatchewan last year, seventy-five per cent, graded "first," while an additional fifteen per cent, was in thc "special'.' class. Thc educational plan consists in getting thc. farmers to send thc very best cream to the creameries, anel in showing ihem ways and means by which this uul can bc accomplished. To the. dairy farmer thc natural advantages of many parts of Western Canada arc-not surpassed anywhere, and the educational work of the provincial government is showing dairy farmers how to make - best -usc of lit esc advantages. Handling Hogs profitably How Rancher Prepares Hogs Economically ' for -Market In connection with the record price of $23 a hundred pounds recently paid on the Calgary market for hogs, it will.be,interesting to learn how one well-known Alberta farmer anel rancher economically prepares big hogs for market. Thc farmer referred to is George Lane, the well-known Alberta horse breeder. Hc is besides an extensive wheal grower anil cattle randier, and also raises a largc number of hogs evcry year. The brccel he prefers is thc Berkshire^ and hc tries lo keep as closely as possible to this breed and type. Only one litter a year is raised from each sow. These litters arc farrowed in thc months of March, April and May and both sows and litters run on pasture during the summer months. Oats, barley and rye furnish thc summer pasture. Some grain is given in addition. Cribs arc built so tliat the young pigs can havc access lo thc small self-feeders where oat chop is provided, but thc sows arc kept away. Aftcr weaning thc pigs arc given a stronger grain ration by the addition of barley, and as they near the finishing period the ration is almost entirely barley. During thc finishing period the pigs arc divided into carload lots accorel- ing to weight and condition, f.nd fed from self-fccdcrs. zMl the clean water thcy'can drink is supplied to tlicm in troughs, and theyr rapidly reach thc desired market weight by taking all 'the grain they can cat. Thc plan represents a ��� thoroughly practical plan of hog raising under lhe carlot system. By these methods hogs arc raised at a minimum expense for labor, buildings and equipment. These hogs arc usually sold direct to one of thc packing companies at Calgary. Thcy arc ready for market at regular intervals, and consequently must bc marketed .very largely irrespective of market conditions; but by having some ready at all seasons of thc year, the chances are that a fair price willbe obtained throughout thc ycar.

Lord Jellicoe's Victory British Navy Entitled to Claim the Battle of Jutland "More than a hundred years aftcr the hattie of-Trafalgar and after a century of controversy, thc admiralty considered it desirable to appoint a committee to decide" whether that action was fought iu accordance with the original intentions of, thc commander-in-chief, as embodied in his famous memorandum." This sentence in the preface to his "book on "The Grand Fleet" is the only allusion which Jellicoc makes to the Jutland controversy. And mc think hc is right in leaving to history the verdict on that b'attle. To be accused of faulty leadership, of errors of judgment, of indecision, and even of timidity before the enemy has/been the fate of every clistiiiRuishccl-^ Biitish sailor from the earliest, days of our naval! annals. Nelson himself did nol escape;' there was a particularly ficice outcry against him when the French fleet succeeded in leaving Toulon. A month or two before Quibccon llawke was burned in effigy. Rodney aud St. Vincent were hotly- attacked by thc armchair critics of theii day. ft is, therefore, quite iu keeping with precedent that Admiral Jellicoc, who commanded our main licet during the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and who shattered beyond repair the naval power of Germany, should bc bitterly assailed in bis turn by the ine- pressiblc amateur strategist. Thc charge against\Admiral Jellicoc is that he failed to annihilate the German licet at Jutland. Unfortunately for thc critics, the" enemy himself has since confessed that, though thc^imu. jorily of his ships escaped from that battle, the fighting spirit of his seamen was completely broken. "On June 1, 1916," wrote Capt. I'crsius, "it was clear to everyN-thinking "person that this battle must and would be the last one. Authoritative quarters said so openly." That admission, confirmed as it was by subsequent events, entitles the British navy to claim the hattie of Jutland as an absolutely decisive victory, and as commander-in- chief during the battle, Lord Jcllicoc's icputation as strategist ntul tactician is established for all time.

There are, however, difficulties in country canvassing such as arc not encountered iu town. Seeding season in rural Canada is thc most important timc "of the year, when every hour lost means a loss of dollars. It is inconvenient, if not impossible, for the canvasser, even in thc worthiest cause, to interview the farmer in seed time. It is impracticable for the farmer, at the mid-season between seedtime and harvest, when cash is scarcest, to make any cash outlay until hc knows how he will "stand" at the end of seeding. _.. Owing to these conditions, the campaign of the "Y" in the country will be extended. It will not be possible lo consider it over until well on in, June, as a great many intending subscribers, who recognize the value of lhe Y.M.C.A. work and are eager lo have llie "Y" extend it.scoperations into the rural places and villages, would be thereby excluded. The rural municipalities have accepted their allotments willingly, and there is' no doubt lhat thc country people are behind thc Y.M.C.A. One of the association's oiganizcrs, Rev. Mr. Rowel!, went into the district of Sleinback, Man., where a local adviser had told him-it was futile to go. This district, partfy English-speaking and partly French-speaking, gave Mr. Rowcll $576. - In ils work 'of campaigning, the Y.M.C.A. has li caret minors of criticism. Sonic of these, as rcpoitcd by tlic organizers, the "Y" has had an opportunity to answer, and has done so successfully in every such case. In this connection, it .may bc said that analysis of most of these criticisms has revealed thc fact that lhc Canadian "Y" was not included in the criticism. n It would be quite impossible for an organization the size of thc Canadian Y.M.C.A., performing work tinder thc difficulties the "Y" encountered, to proceed with absolute faithlessness. give you W.S.S. for iour Yictorv. p,.:������ ��� i ..��� . . , - bcing.a human organization, the Can Bond thcm. mtcicst coupons.

Medicine Hat is already the home of some of the largest industries in Western Canada, including flour mills, iron.foundries, clay products plant, rolling mills and several other manufactories. But iu addition to this it is one of the most beautiful cities in Western Canada. The Western Canada Irrigation Association has chosen Medicine Hat for its convention this ycar, to bc held during the first three days of the week beginning August 4th. It may at first seem strange that, a city primarily associated with manufacturing should be selected as a convention point by an organization whose work is-so closely related to �� agriculture.

Beer drinkers drop off with what should have been mild aud easily curable diseases. Even moderate beer- drinkers have a poorer chance of recovery, especially from blood poisoning and pneumonia, than the. total abstainer. Thc first organs to be attacked arc the kidneys, and then comes Bright's disease and. dropsy, certain to be fatal. Over thirty years ago a number of medical men began advising their patients that, they had better leave beer alone and drink whiskey instead, and there are few reputable physicians who would not give the same advice today. ��� A few years ago Mr. J. H. Adams, on behalf of the Baltimore Sun, investigated the working of prohibition in some of thc Southern States, and he concluded that whiskey produces more violence than beer, but that beer decreases, much more than whiskey, the aggregate prosperity, happiness and efficiency of the community. He said "the beer trade, ten times moi'e than the whiskey trade, produces thc evils belonging to the sale of liquor as an institution." , The brewers are going to make a desperate effort to compel us to return to the old drunkard-making bar room.

"Ccrtainlj there will always bc an unequalled market in these provinces for all thc honey that can bc produced. There is no question about that. To give sonic idea of the returns from bec-kecping"' it may be stated that in 191S in Manitoba 14,736 colonics of bees produced 944,000 pounds of honey, an average of 64 pounds per colony.

" ' - ., -- SAT UP IN BED TO GET HER BREATH Palpitation of the heart, -shorlncM of breath, inability to lie on the left side, feelings as if smothering, oppressed feeling in the chest, dizzy and faint spells, tired, weak, worn out feeling, involuntary twitching of thc muscles, sleeplessness, restless, etc, all point to the fact that either the heart or nerves, or both, are not what they should be. Any of these conditions should be remedied immediately so as to avoid a complete breakdown of the whole system. Milburn's Heart and Nerve PilU~ will bring energy to the weakened constitution, strengthen and regulate the heart, and tone up the tired, overstrained nerves. Mrs. William Steeves, Chemical Road, N.B., writes:���"I have been a great sufferer from nerve troubles and palpitation of the heart, which was so bad I had to sit straight up in bed to get my breath. I could not lie on my left side at all. I tried doctor after doctor, also several different rencdies, but got no help from them. My mother insisted on me trying Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. By the time I had used one box, I was feeling very much better. 1 took.in all three boxes, and now I am in perfect health and can enjoy a- good sound sleep, and can lie on iny left side without any trouble."

A school girl,'' I imagined her to be, for under her arm were her books. She held a saucer of milk in her hands. "Here Murphy, Murphy," she was calling. I must have looked rather curious, for she gave me a bright smile and exclaimed, "He always does run away feo see Ruth, across tho street.- I have such a time getting him, even at lunch time. Here he comes iiow." A little "gray maltese Angora ran oufe into the road, but just as, he waa scampering across, a huge machine darted around theQcorner. Before the poor little cat could turn either to left or to right, it had broken his back. "With a despairing cry he lay very-still. My little school friend- dropped her befoks and the milk. She -turned pale and trembled, then sank down upon the steps, sobbing as if her heart wonld break. I tried to comfort her in vain. " "He's all I had," she sobbed,' "and I loved him so!"

Tonapab and Cobalt, the fewo' big producing districts in North America, have ��� passed the peak of their production and the fact that there has been a general slowing down of copper and lead, with which silver has been an important byproduct, has resulted in a nearly exhausted market and opens tbe way for a quick rise in the white metal when costs can be adjusted.
