Mother Lode Contract Awarded. The Contract for the grading on the Mother Lode spiirjof the C. P..R. has been awarded to W. P. Tierney & Co., of Nelson. It Will be remembered <! that Mr. Tierney and his son were in Greenwood about three weeks ago in company with E. D. Ireland, one of the fcompany's! engineers overlooking the work.s The contracts cover beside this work the filling iu of several large bridges between Castlegar anjd Cascade which will practicallyl, eliminate bridge work from the! Columbia and Western division pf the CP. R. The company expect to have all bridges on this division filled in this year. The new contract was awarded last weelt by F. F. Busteed, superintendent of the C.P.R. Pacific Divfsioji, and C.E Cartwrighr, chief engineer of the division, j Interviewed in Nelson, Mr. Tierney stated that; his firm would commence operations in a few days and would require a large number of men. | The firm's head office is in.Nelso|n where the men seekiug employment can apply. Death of W. J- Harber The many friends of the late W, J. Harber the first manager of the Boundary Creek Times, learned only this week of his ideate which occurred in Cumberland County, England, on the 7th of Janury last. Mr. Harber started this paper with H. M. Lamb as editor in September,* 1896, their first issue appearing on the 12th .of, th at month,,a.nd xcmaineoLwith it until the fall of 1900, when he returned to England because of the failing health of his , father, who died only a week after Mr. Harber's own death. Deceased was 54 years of agd and came to British Columbia iu 1889. He worked first in Victoria and for some time was part owner of the Vernon News with Angus K. Stuart. He was well knowji throughout the Okanagan district. In Greenwood he was one of the charter members of the Typographical Union and was a very enthusiastic member of Boundary .Val*ev Lodge No. 38, I.O.O.F. He was of a quiet and retiring disposition, devoted to his home, and bis friends, all of whom will sincerely regret to hear of his demise. Mrs. Harber survives him. His father who died a week later was 90 years of age. ADJOURNED MEETING. The first annual meeting of the Diamond Fraction and Texas Development Syndicate was convened on Wednesday evening. April 1st. The Diamond Texas has been making good showing in ground for some time past but the ore has not yet been reached as had been expected. The meeting was adjourned till Friday evening to allow for a careful examination of the property. The subject under discussion at the St. Columba Young Men's Club last night at their semimonthly meeting, was "Which is the better field for a young man to make a success in life, Eastern Canada or Western Canada ?V After an interesting and animated discu3sion the verdict was given in favor of the West, although "that airt" got many hard knocks, No. 30 ACCIDENT ENDS FATALLY Sad Death of Richard E.Bradbury on Wednesday Last- Funeral Tomorrow On Wednesday afternoon, shortly after three o'clock, Richard E Bradbury, a young Englishman aged 23 years, was instantly killed by being pinned by a falling tree sgainst the ptump'of a tree he had fallen just previously. The accident occurred on the upper bank of the first switchback on the Phoenix road within half a mile of town. Richard Bradbury with his three brothers and Ed Spooner had gone up the hill to cut pome firewood, half with the idea of getting something to do. They had fallen one tree, the st.imp of which was less than four feet from the one which caused the fatalty. When tbe second tree was falling it struck a boulder and turning back caught the unfortunate man, killing him. Deceased was the youngest of four brothers in this country. The other three, Horace. Bert and Fred, were with him at the time of his death. He had comte to British Columbia first about three years ago firom bis home .at! Chester House. Brownhills, Wallsall, Staffordshire in England. Though a bricklayer by trade, he had worked at the Providence mine and for the B. C. 'Copper Co., and until he left for a visit to his home in England laBt fall, was a member of Greenwood Miners' Union. He returned frdm~" England���only^---about two- months ago.. He was a member of the Methodist church and while in the city had been active iu its work. He was : very highly re- spected, The funeral will-be held on Saturday at 12 o'clock, noon, from the residence of Geo. P. White, Gold-street. Services will be in charge of Bev. F. J. Rutherford, who will conduct a memorial service for the young man in the Methodist church a week from next Sunday evening, Mr. Rutherford being absent in Nelson this coming Sunday. The brothers of the deceased have the very sincere sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. The members of the Greenwood Miners' Union will attend the funeral of the late Richard E. Bradbury tomorrow at 12 o'clock noon. Case Dismissed ���On Tuesday afternoon a gun play case came up before Stipendiary Magistrate McMynn. All parties to the action came from between Boundary Falls and Midway. A charge of poiuiing a gun was brought by Joseph Car- on against Alfred Clarke, J. P. McLeod appearing for the plaintiff and J. D. Spence for the defendant. Caron's testimony was contradicted by witnesses upholding Clarke and the case was dismissed with costs. Counter charges of assault and trespass were withdrawn. On April 1st, W. G. Gaunce, who has beeu in partnership with E.T. Wickwire of this city for some years, went into business in Real Estate, Insurance, etc., in Victoria in company with O.J. Griffith, formerly of Robertson & Griffith, 106 Government Street, Victoria. It is not stated that Mr. Gaunce intends to leave the Boundary permanently but will probably remain at the coast for the next year. The Phoenix Pioneer Changes Hands. The Phoenix Pioneer, which has since the 18th of November, 1899, been under the guiding hand of W. B. Willcox, was sold on Wednesday of this week to T. Alfred Love, late of Hedley and Vancouver and formerly of Winnipeg and other places in Manitoba. Mr. Love is, according to the retiring editor of the Pioneer, the only kind of a man who will make a poeceRs of a weekly newspaper in this country, a practical printer, a man who knows the business from the ground up. Mr. Love was at one time owner of the Mor- den Chronicle, at Morden, Man. Although it has been understood for some time that Mr. Wilcox was anxious to be relieved from the arduous duties of editor of a mining camp weekly, the Bale (of tbe Pioneer at the time of the Granby's big records, came somewhat as a snrprise. Mr. Wilcox who has a paper this week to edit is not communicative as to what his intentions are. " You may say I am not going to Prince Rupert," he said to The Tim eg yesterday. " I expect to be around Phoenix until about-May 1st. anyway." I If You Wish to Buy DUNCAN ROSS HONORED Dinner Tendered Him on Eve of Departure for West���Coming- to Liberal Convention at Vernon April 14th! Ottawa, March 30.���Duncan Ross, M.P., for Yale-Cariboo was tendered a dinner here tonight by his British Columbia friends on the eve of his departure to attend the Liberal convention at Vernon, B.C., which will be held on April 14,;*to nominate-a candidate for the next election. Among those present. were : Louis Pratt, chairman; R. G." Macpherson, toastmaster; Hon. Wm. Templeman, Hon. Frank Oliver, Senator Bostock, Mr. Justice Duff, W. A. Galliher, Wm Sloan, R.

The funeral of the late Mrs. King Reese took place on Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock. The service at the grave was read by Rev. M. D. McKee and perhaps the longest cortege ever seen in Greenwood showed the very great esteem in which the deceased was held. Interment was at Greenwood cemetery, The pall bearers were Mayor H. Bunting, C. J. Wilson, D. C. McRae, E. H. Mortimer, V. M. Sher- bino and J. L. Coles. Yearly Customs Returns.

Miller. The fiscal year in the customs department ended with March 31, and though the returns for t.ie year cover practically only about seven months, they amount to a very respectable figure. Since the shutdown of the smelters the customs collections have fallen off about 75 per cent. The collections for the fiscal pear ending March 31 sb at the port of Greeuwood are ��45,- 454.G9, and for inland reveuue 815,304.76, making the total collections for the Greenwood office $G0,769.45. The intelligence of the death of C. E. Miller, owner of the block in which the store of P. W. George & Co. is situated, came as a very great shock to his many friends in Greenwood on Friday last. Mr. Miller came to Greenwood in its early days and was a partner in the Wallace-Miller Co, which had the store now conducted by P. W. Gearge&Cp. On the dissolution of. the partnership, Mr. Miller took over the block in part payment of his interest in the firm. Last fall he spent some months here installing a heating system and making several other changes. His lasfe visit was only about six weeks ago. His death occurred at 11:15 on Thursday evening a week ago. In the afternoon he had been working in his garden and had strained the nerves of the heart. About 5:30 he called a physician, who was nn- able to do anything to prolong life more than a few hours. The deceased was about 45 years of age-and came to the West from Western Ontario many years ago, going to Moose Jaw first and later ou to Brandon, where he was in the dr}r goo��ls business for some time. In 1896 he came to Nelson and for Beveral years conducted a men's furnishing biisinf-s on Baker street there with J. H. Wallace, retiring from that business about three years ago. Mr. Miller was the owner of a tine ranch on the north shore opposite 5-Mile point and also considerable real estate. During his 12 years residence in Nelson Mr. Miller took an active part iu business affairs, -itud was an enthusiastic launcu- [���i.iii. A very large number of friends attended the funeral of the deceased in Nelson on Saturday afternoon, the ceremonies being conducted by Rev. J. T. Ferguson, Presbyteriau minister. Mm. Miller will have the sincere sympathy of many friends in Greenwood iu 1 her bereavement.

D. Macfarlane <���> ICi'^j1 y^n> FRIDAY. APRIL 3. 1908 ical advantage above the welfare either of country or of empire. Brit^h Columbia wants the exclusion of the Oriental. It has not been found possible to mix Jap or Hindu with our population. They are not of value to us because we cannot have with them the desideratum of all nation ��� builders ��� a homogeneous country. Yet British Columbia will undoubtedly be better off ten years from today if while excluding these people or preventing their ingress from passing a negligible minimum, she is able to retain their markets for our products. In every step, the Laurier Government has shown very creditable appreciation not only of the a difficulty and importance but of the possibilities of the situation. It is difficult to regard the reappearance of Hon. Clifford Sifton with another of his direct and vigorous speeches with other than pleasure, Whatever his tailings, Mr. Sifton has always ignored the petty side of politics and when he has spoken in the House or on the hustings, his has always been the definite, unequivocal statement of a man who had something for the advancement of the country to talk about. The part of his latest speech that will attract most attention is devoted to a reform of the public service. The abolition of the patronage svstem is tbe keynote of this reform. There is nothing truer than his statement, surprising to some people as it may be, that "It is an entire mistake if anybody supposes that dealings with these questions (of patronage, etc.), is of any advantage to the party in power and it is no political advantage to the member of parliament." The hope and the sentiment expressed by Mr. Sifton will be general that "Canada will outgrow this system pretty soon and that the people of Canada will demand that it be changed." It is hardly necessary to say that Mr. Sifton discussed this question as a matter of privilege, it being already on the order paper of the House in the name of the Hon. the Minister of Railways and Canals. Hon. Geo. P. Graham. An engraving of the first load of lumber taken into the town of Camrose. Alberta, is found in tbe. Canadian Magazine this week. Camrose is the town that last year spent $1,700 in advertising. As a result it is now known from one end of the Dominion to the other. It pays to keep your town before the public. Mr. B. P. Smith was responsible "Would you advise that Mr. Smith be removed from his position?" Mr. Brodeur asked. The point of this is that Mr. Smith's politics and Dr. Sproule's are of the same stripe. The worthy doctor shied at once and nothing coherent could be obtained from him in regard to it. The Opposition in this as in everything else pointing to good government have taken the insane position that they only oppose��� obstruct. And in the face of this. Hon. Mr. Brodeur deserves double credit for every effort tie makes to��relieve his department of brushwood and the government has earned the congratulation of the Canadian people by having the matter thoroughly inquired into by a vigorous and non-partizan commission. By first thoroughly advising the entire people of any inaccuracies or faults in administrations seems the only way under the party system of government of accomplishing the removal of the people responsible for these things. The Government deserves every encouragement in its policy to reform the Civil Service and we have faith enough in the people of Canada yet, to think that when such a question is put to them in a straightforward way, their sympathies will be wi+h the Government in this work. ��� of the Dominion to know the civil service from the inside. Mr. Courtney is almost seventy years of age, and a member of an old Cornish family. His brother, well known in British politics as Mr. Leonard Courtney, now Lord Courtney of Pen with, -was one of Mr. Gladstone's associates in the day8 before the Home Rule split. INDIVIDUALITIES. "This extremely difficult, intricate and possibly dangerous sitiuation"���these are the words used by the Right Hon. John Morley, Secretarv of State for India, in describing the Hindu problem on British Columbia's Pacific coast. Coming from Mr. Morley, who is one of the sanest, most keenly intellectual men in Great Britain they demand attention. From everyone interested in the welfare of his country this immigration problem demands that consideration which he gives to things most vitally affecting his own most sacred interests. The making of this province a place which shall be the home of everything that seems to bim to be good ought to be felt as a personal duty by every elector���by every person who takes from it his sustenance. Appeals, simply to prejudice such as we haye heard so often in this last six months are certainly anything but in line with a desire to make the province prosperous. They have served only, as they were intended, to increase the difficulty and the complexity of the problem the Government at Ottawa had to handle. They have been the acts of men who prefer a slight polit- The abominable procedure under which a man who has had rights of citizenship in another province of the Dominion can live thirteen months in British Columbia and still be refused a vote is being done away with by the Dominion Government. And because it touches the Tory Preserve Pot, the Vancouver Province must set up a wild cry that independent voters are to be sandbagged. The Conservative party in the Province must be al its wit's end when it has to use such marked perversions of the truth to make political capital. The system the Government is introducing in Manitoba and British Columbia is iu force in the other provinces and gives uniform satisfaction. It is manifestly ridiculously unfair that a man who entered the province on October 1st last and who was Canadian born and had every claim to the rights of citizenship in the Dominion should have no vote at an election to be held in November this year ���thirteen months afterward. The truth of the matter is that it is the B.C. system that has been so stiff that it disfranchised men who had a right to vote. The measure is an excellent one. The Report of the Royal Commission to enquire into tbe conditions of the Civil Service will despite a few glaring inaccuracies .pointed out by Hon. L.P. Brodeur in reference to his own department, do a great deal of good. At present a Minister entering a department inefficiently organized is put in a most difficult, and almost hopeless position. To dismiss any officials in the service, will almost certainly bring upon him torrents of abuse and ridiculously absurd but none the less damaging villification from his opponents iu politics. In the department of Hon Mr. Brodeur we have a striking example of this. His department is officered very largely, by men appointed under the Conservative regime. In the report brought forward, it is shown that these men, in some cases,have been unfaithful not so much to Mr. Brodeur as to his predecessors in the department. Sir Louis Davies and the Hon. Mr. Prefontaine. Rather than disavow responsibility for the faults in the administration pf his* predecessors, Mr. Brodeur.has patiently bore a great deal of blame. Mr. Brodeur's own course in the department is not under criticism. He has asked for a specific and thorough inquiry into his department which will enable him to carry'out the difficult policy he has already undertaken of thoroughly organizing it. The help that the opposition will give the Minister in removing these fossilized servants of their own political stipe was illustrated well in the debate following the presentation of the report. Dr. Sproule, the head of the Orange Order and a member of cabinet rank in the Conservative party was attacking some piece of administration for which Fanny Crosbj*, the writer of so many beautiful hymns celebrated her 88th birthday on Tuesday week. She is now living at Bridgeport, Conn. So consistent has been the attitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier since the Liberal government came into power that whenever any reflection is cast upon any of his ministers by any reputable party, the public expects the Premier to demand as soon as is just to the minister, the latter's resignation. Sir Wilfrid is the only Prime Minister in the last quarter of a century of whom that could be said. Herbert H. Asquitb, who has been leading the Government party in the British House of Commons is not only a comparatively young man being only 56, but comes of a stock distinctly commercial. His father was a manufacturer in a small way at Morley in Yorkshire. His success is purely of his own making and the reward of merit. His wife is one of the most brilliant women in London, ia many ways The Chairman of the Civil Service Commission which has just handed in a most vigorous report is perhaps better known by name than any other civil servant in America. On millions of Dominion Notes appears the signature of J. M. Courtney for he held the office of Deputy Minister of Finance for 30 years. His service to Canada goes back to the days of Confederation, and from 1869 till 1878 he was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Board. Practically, therefore, he has been in a position during the whole history Hotel... Ladysmith Close to the Smelter.

The contract was # let to Jno. Carlson and Hans Lof, who have already started to work. The terms of fhe contract call for the completion of the work by July 1st. As the route is for most part an easy one there will not be much trouble in making the date. This was the last piece of right- of-way to let between here and Hedley, the whole line been now under way. -Several grading camps are established between Hedley and Bromley's, Jack McLean and Pete Laurisetto working on the grade near the latter place.

If it is, and the seam is thick enough to work to advantage, copper prospects on Moresby Island are worth more than they were before the coal was discovered, for it means that the ore can be smelted on the ground which nearly always means a saving in treating low-grade ores. At the annual meeting of lhe Hall Mines Company, Limited,in Nolson last week, it was shown tbat the 18 month of operation uf their properties the Silver King and thc Emma showed a profit of $30,000 but the balance was transferred to the wro.ig side bv mismanagement at the smelter.

They are worth the while The Granby mines at Phoenix shipped in March 110,223 tons of ore, just 23,512 tons more than, in any single month last year.

Mrs. M. D. Mcintosh, wife of M. D. Mcintosh, superintendent of of the Mother Lode mine, and Mrs. W. S. JackHon, of Greenwood, arrived here on Sunday, They were the guests of Mrs. Roland Gosse and Mrs. George Sutherland. On Monday evening Mrs. Sutherland entertained Mrs. Mcintosh and Mrs. Jackson, inviting a number of friends to meet them. Mrs. Jackson is a graduate of a leading Eastern Canadian conservatory of music and shines as a pianist. Accompanied by H. Schorlemmer on the violin, she rendered a number of selections, classical and otherwise, in a finished manner, reveal- Plans for the Crescent. A telegram from Col. Dickason, Chicago,president of the Crescent Mines, Limited, advised the stopping of work in the Crescent mine, to awai-t further instructions by letter. Accordingly the work was stopped on Wednesday night of this week. For the past month Manager Feeney has been stoping at about the 120 foot level and it is thought that perhaps the directors are ready now to advise work which will ultimately lead to operations oa a much larger scale. So far however defin- i<e instructions have not yet been received by the management here and they are not able to state anything as to the future policy of the Company. Former Greenwood' People The difficulties ot the Marys- ville smelter of the Sullivan Mining company were brought to a head last week by the seizure of the smelter at Marysville, at the instance of E. F. Mackey, cashier, and formerly stenographer with the B. C. Copper Co, at Greenwood. Until a conple of months ago Mr. Mackay was in the Sullivan company's offices at Spokane. About that time Le was sent to tbe Marysville office. The following dispatch explains : Spokane, March 26.���A dispatch from Cranbrook, B. C, says: Deputy Sheriff F. R. Morrison has seized the Sullivan smelter at Marysville and the mine and mine equipment at Kimberley, under execution and judgments upon the suit of E. T. Mackay,, formerly cashier at the smelter, for $872, and H. W. Newton for 8785. The amounts covered by the executions represent iu both cases amalgamation** of various debts due by the company to certain of its workmen who had received np pay for about two. months previous to the closing down of the property. When the hands were laid oS at the mine they received no time checks but mere written acknowledgements for the time they had worked without wages. Ibis understood, however, that the annual meeting of the company held later in Spokane settled the difficulty. AT THE CHURCHES Anglican���St. Jude's. Rev. John Leech-Porter, B. D., pastor.

Title | Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1908-04-03 |
Description | The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
