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.

It will not be long until these Springs are ns popular as the Banff resort or those of Halcyon. Mrs. John "Wereley was 74 last Thursday, and holds her age better than any one in the camp.

James Wilks, vice president of the Western Federation of Miners, who was in Hosslaml lor the voting, has gone home,and il is believed that if the strike were can ied he would have remained to conduct the campaign.

"Is the game over?" excitedly asked the man at whom her disgusted remark was thrown, "No, but the score is nine to nothing now, and lots more coming. There's one fellow down there I'd just like to punch." and she proceeded to describe the errors into which tliis particular fellow had fallen. "Who's goal?'' "Oh, Jack Vaustone, and he's no better: he does nothing but fall down Those Medicine Hat fellows just know how to play lacrosse. I'm ashamed of our boys.'' "Our boys" certainly did not distinguish themselves in a very creditable manner, for, as one of the visitors ob- ^li'^^i^yj^iy "either play lacrosse Rome time ago a professor in the Northwest University told with pride that ie had never kissed a woman, nor indulged in any of tho innocent follies of love. And now we are told of a Miss Bertha White, of the same institution of learning, who refuses to allow her lips to come imo actual contact with those of a man. And Miss White isn't an ancient rose, either. She is a sweet, bright-looking, voluptuous maiden who will one day make some man supremely happy. But it is evident that she, has missed something somewhere somehow, if she had ever been plunged into the ecstasy that comes from Ihe kiss that thrills she would not he loth to trv it nor fight, though thev tried hard to do hot!.. Lessons in the art of suffering defeat gracefully should be administered in large doses until they learn to play. 4- ■ John Houston. M. P.

When the first attempt, was made to release the Younerers years ago, Colonel Waters came to Northfield to talk over tho matter with the prisoners. The case appeared hopeless because of the popular prejudice against the Young- ers in Minnesota and Colonel Waters cautioned Cole, the eldest brother, to be careful about what he said. The Colonel tells the story thus: "I am getting the worst of it in the newspapers," said Coleman, "and I have tried to be courteous, too. The reporters insist, on coming to see me, to ask me to give them stories about our exploits. I can't tell them anything that seems to interest them,and they write a lot of stuff that prejudices my case." "Why don't you tell 'em a lot ot stories about robbing the rich and giving the swag to the poor?" I asked him. "I don't know that I ever did that," he replied, "but I came very near it once." "How's that?" I asked. —.,^t..M'»s_do.m)_Jii^ porter that came around. If you; haven't got any more as good as that, ' I said, make up a few and have them I in stock. There's nothing that so ; quickly popularizes a man as a repu-1 tation for taking from the rich and I giving t.i the poor. It a half dozen j stories like that get in circulation j they will let you out and run you for j governor, I haven't seen the story ' in print, but I suppose the Younger boys have acted on my advice, for I see they are going to be paroled, TINES PLAYKI) OX liOlH.DKRS. ht»99 en_|->- OB-AM Or T-BTA* POWO-W •PR; ( j 1890 j Established in Nelson 1890 Upper Bucljs county has long been noted for its many natural curios- CREAM IMING ities. Within a radius of a few miles is to lie found the Durham cave, as yet unexplored to its full extent; the Palisades of Pennsylvania along the Delaware, the "Scheppen Dall," the iron mines of Durham, the ore of which is the richest in the United States*, the Ringing Rocks of Nocka* mixon, and the Ringing Rocks of i Stony Garden, the two largest fields in Pennsylvania, the area covered being not larger, but, the ringing sounds much better, There are three fields of these rocks at Stony Garden, situated at the foot of Haycock mountain, in Haycock township, 620 feet above sea level. The largest of these fields covers an area of a quarter of a mile long and an average width of 200 feet, the other two covering about an acre and a quarter each. The Garden is considered by geologists to be the i "Ot of an extinct volcano, which, while in a state of ebullition some 4l0,C00 years ago (geological reckoning) upturned these stones of feldspar formation and left them heaped up in weird, fantastic forms, making a most deso late looking spot on the mountain side, for, although surrounded by heavy timber and growing verdure, not a tree or shrub can be found within the Garden, and no soil can be seen between the crevices ot the rocks. These rocks are supposed to have their bed l.GOO feet underneath on the Archaean or primitive rocks, and hninuicr~theii' Highest Honors, World's Fair Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair Avoid Jinking Powders containing uluw.

At a meeting of the Buckwampun Historical and Literary society, hold at the Garden, he gave selection on the rocks,accompanied by a full brass band, among which was a composition of his own, entitled, "Sounds from the Ringing Rocks," and the clear, bell-like tones could be distinctly heard ringing out high above the notes of the horns. The Ringing Rocks of Nockamixon are situated about a mile and a half from Bridgeton, opposite Milford, N. J., and, while the field is not so large us at Stony Garden and the rocks not of such clear tones, they are more picturesquely located. In his climb to reach the ringing rocks the visitor is greeted by many cheering inscriptions along the way, such as, 'Is this the way to heaven or ?" and as he scrambles along in the hot sun he feels as if it was "or," and he is reminded of the legend that this desert spot was made by his satanic majesty himself.

'Lord,0 she cried, ''come down and help Thy poor servant.' She told the Lord all her troubles. Her son had been employed by a merchant in town and had run away with some goods or money and the merchant had got judgment and was going to sell tho widow's horse and cow to make good 'he loss, I looked around and saw that an auction sale had been advertised for that day. Just then the woman cried, 'Show your presence here, Lord, now um\ help— I broke into the yard and answered, 'Here 1 am, I'll take care of your case ' 'The woman started to %et down on hi>r knees to thank me, but I wouldn't let, her.
