description: The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919.

The Independent Labor party is entitled to unstinted praise for the able manner in which the campaign was managed, and it might be stated right here that the mud- slinging old party campaigners might take a- few lessons in campaign ethics from the Slocau Labor party. Wm. Davidson demonstrated that, while he is not an orator, he is cool headed and conservative: hi« campaign speeches mark him a plain, blunt, honest man, without any frills, and with a mind broad enough to allow other men to have idoas of their own. and to be riglft.
