[The Phoenix Pioneer]
BC Historical Newspapers
Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District. The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916. The paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912.

A wedding- of popular interest to Phoenix took piace on Monday, May 6th, at the home of thebride's parents, Grand Forks, when the Rev. M. D. McKee, pastor of the Grand Forks Presbyterian church, solemnized the marriage of Miss Emma Loseke and Wm. Jackson, both of Phoenix. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Annie 219,054 Loseke, while a similar service was rendered the bridegroom by J. S. Hamilton, also of Phoenix., . After the ceremony, the happy couple, who were the recipients of many useful tokens of esteem, left for Phoenix and have taken up their residence on Knob Hill avenue. 220,542 64,095 10,069 4,583 483,272 A pleasure trip* to Hudson bay is being organized in Winnipeg-.

The New Deane Hotel Danny Deane, the popular hotel man of Phoenix, moved into his newly-acquired hotel premises in the Marsh block, on Thursday, evening, breakfast being seved for the first time on Friday. An immense amount of work was necessary before the place was ready for "occupancy, but the 'result is pleasing- in the extreme; in fact so great is the transformation accomplished that it is difficult-to recognise in the well- appointed, decorated rooms and cor- corridors, the once abandoned building, There aie over twenty rooms in the structure, a particularly pleasing feature of which is their lofty appearance, while every convenience is on hand for the comfort of the guests. Downstairs is a large comfortable "dry," with shower bath in connection, while upstairs another bathroom has been installed. As might be expected, special attention has been paid to the kitchen and dining- room accommodation, the appointments of which leave little to be desired. Reviewing- the proposition from the standpoint of an outsider there cannot be much doubt that Mr. Deane intends to prove himself a stayer, and a continuance of that excellent service which has given such satisfaction in the past, and incidentally has placed him in the front rank of Boundary caterers can be looked forward to with every confidence. ten ^dollars was voted, tionjof citizens was in Political heads are falling fast in the Yukon territory, but most remarkable to relate, there are few mourners. . , City Council Meeting There was a full attendance of members at the city council meeting on Wednesday evening, the mayor, J.

The petition was discussed at some length, and a motion by Alderman Jas. Marshall, seconded by Alderman McKenzie, was- carried, to the effect that a committee be appointed to obtain the signatures of all taxpayers who are in favor of the scheme. In regard to the new movement for the eret?tion ��f .a permanent mineral exhibit building- in the town, a committee was appointed to draw up a petition to both the federal and provincial members requesting their, support in aid of the projected building. Alderman A. D. McKenzie struck a patriotic note and called thescity paters attention to the need of au; flagpole for the city hall; the fathers* responded nobly, for on Aid.,. Wm. Prendergast seconding thej motion for one to be erected, the..resolution was carried.

Nixon, pastor of the church, preached the dedicatory sermon, taking- as his subject " The Genius of Brotherhood." The church was taxed to its utmost capacity and the preacher's eloquent appeal and masterly dealing- with his text was listened to with rapt attention and especially appreciated by the members present. Special music for the occasion was rendered by the choir, while the music for the procession was furnished by the Phoenix city band. According to a statement made recently by a prominent official on the coast, the affairs of the I.O.O.F. are in a highly flourishing condition. He stated that the order in America had 17,729 lodges, with a total membership of 1,583,169; 134,614 members have received relief at a cost of $5,423,144.80; since 1830 the sum of $136,698,390.08 has been ^;iicl in sick relief. British Columbia has 54 lodges, with a membership of 5820. The order in B.C. has $12,920 in the fund for building an I.O.O.F. home, while they have already built and equipped a building at the Trauquille Sanitarium. In B. C. there are also 23 lodges of the Daughters of Rebekah, with 985 members, and a fund amounting to $3468.37. railway lands, Department of Interior. The publication, which is known as the Peace River, or Northern Alberta Homestead map, graphically illustrates by a comparatively simple S3'stem of coloring, the land situation in that country, including, as it does, complete information with respect to the disposal of lands, location of timber berths and forest reserves, nature of the soil, etc. An interesting feature of the color scheme is the fact that it enables an observer to procure at a glance a complete grasp of the present land situation, not only with regard to those lands which have been taken up during the past year, but also with respect to lands previously homesteaded, but for which patents have not yet been issued, thus also enabling a person to trace the progress during recent years of settlement in the Peace River district. The aim in the preparation of the map has been to show the land situation up to the beginning of the year. FRATERNAL ORDER OF EAGLES Phoenix Aerie No. 158 Meets in Union Hall, Friday Evenings.

The Consolidated company's production for March last, according to figures recently made public were: Ore smelted, 27,913 tons; value, $544,500, of which 52 per cent was gold. This is a record for the present year. A supply of $5 and $10 Canadian | gold pieces has arrived in Vancouver. B. C. Co's Smelter Increase The wholesale system of breaking down ore at the British Columbia Copper Co.'s Mother Lode property in Greenwood, i.e., by gigantic blasts, is now regarded as the settled policy of its mine supt., E. Hibbert, both of the two previous trials having been pronounced a striking success and now considerd by the company's experts to be the most economical scheme yet devised for operating the huge deposits of low grade ores. In this connection it is probable that the recent heavy blast may have had something to i\o with this week's smelter receipts, the tonnage (14,205) being so far a record for this year.

It was of coarse linen, but very, white from, many bleachings in the sun. Upon. tills Hans wrote in large letters \vith. a piece of burned wood ��� "Please, Volir Majesty, Help Mother." Carrying It very carefully on the morning of the great day, he ran. across the fields to a part of the road, where he knew no one else would bo, and; sifctingdpwn undpr the hedge, ha waited. By-and-by ne heard a sound Of cheering, and knew that tho cavalcadq was passing the farm. Then he heard the trampling of horsos' feet and the rumbling of wheels, and suddenly round the bend of the road came the gleam of bright harness and the colours of brilliant -uniforms. A company of soldiers came first, and behind thorn the King's carriage drawn by four horses, with officers riding on each side Hans wa.ited till the soldiers had passed, then he sprang up and running Into tho road, held ���up his petition with both hands, in full .bight of Uhe King, quite hiding himself from view. His Majesty stared for a moment, and then cried���"Halt! "What's this?" An officer with a long grey moustache pulled up his horse, and saluted. "May lit please Your Majesty, \ think. it's a pillow-slip." Tho King 'ay back in his carriage and laughed heartily. "A pi'llow-slip, General? But Whftt'a. on it?" . Now, the General was a. kind old 1 gentileman wlio hail grandchildren Ol his own, find he had caught sight i>t little Hans's face. The tears wer-9- running down it from pure excitement. So the General said: ��� "May It please Your Majesty, there's." a boy behind it, und I think he's In distress." "Dear, dear!" said the King; That Is serious. Let me see him." So the General took the petition from Hans, and . the little feliow clasped his hands and gazed anxiously at the King. "What's your name, boy?" said the latter. ��� "Hans Petersen, Your Majesty." "I -had a forester of that name," said' the King", 'who was killed by the fall of a tree.'.' "It was my father, sire," said Hans, "and my mother's Ml and we've no 'money, and I want to go to school, and the farmer's wife is very kind to us." . . ��� "This should have been seen to before," said the King, "but I'll attend to' it when I pass this way to-morrow, boy." ' And, as you may believe," he saw to it very well, for he gave the poor woman a pension and a house in Z to live <in, so that Hans and 'his sisters, could go to school.

"The knave," said the Mayor. "Oh! I can give your honour a good description of that, if youi honour won't be angry " "No, I will not,' 'said .the Mayor, "if you will not term me the knave." "Well," said the soldier, 'the greatest that I know of is the sergeant of the cdty who brought me liere, "I don't know," said the Mayor, "that he is the greatest knave, but' I am sure he is the greatest fool."

Bar Stocked with Choicest Liquors and Cigpars CENTRALLY LOCATED ON CORNER BRIDGE AND KNOB HILL AVENUE Titanic's Chinese Passengers The wreck of the Titanic and the heroic conduct of her crew and male passengers, both millionaire and peasant, have been the theme for many a sermon and the subject of some really inspiring poetry and. prose, but we have searched in vain for some word of explanation from the leaders and friends of the new Republic, to account for the presence of those seven or eight wearers of pjgtails who were discovered, packed like sardines, under the thwarts; of one of the ill-fated vessel's lifeboats. .."This unpleasant incident, seemingly forgotten, leads one to assume that the knightly and chivalric .qualities are not fostered or even inculcated in the schools of the land of chopsuey and noodles, and thoughtful people-in British Columbia are wondering what would have become of the women and children passengers if: the same large percentage of Orientals composed Atlantic crews as that which exists on the Vancouver Pacific steamers. Would the Oriental crew emulate the manly acts of the Titanic's crew? We ���-, think not. Would they run all over the vessel calling out for "any ladies and children " to come and take their places in the boats? Not on this side Parliamentary Vacancies There are now four vacant seats in the House of Commons, following the action of the trial judges in declaring the election in Richelieu county nullarid void; the seat was filled by J. A. Cardin, a Liberal. The other three seats vacant are: Kootenay, B. C, through the appointment of A. S7 Goodeve to the railway .commission; Macdonald, Manitoba, through the appointment of W, H. Staples to the grain commission, andSduth Simcoe, through the elevation of Mr. Haughton Lennox to the bench. There is considerable talk among the Liberals of Rossland about contesting the nomination of A. S. Goodeve and the names of several gentlemen have been under consideration for some time. The chaHces, however, for any Liberal success is very remote, Mr. Goodeve's large majority,; coupled with his conduct in the House would seem to preclude any possibility of his being turned down. The late provincial election gave strong indication of the way the wind was blowing, while the recent Taft-Roosevelt reciprocity correspondence will not enhance the Liberal chances for the-success of their candidates either in British Columbia or elsewhere. and Confectionery BADLY ULCERATED LEG.

JOHNSON Proprietor '���f A Brilliant Failure" There will be little regret manifested in Canadian, government circles over the recent newspaper announcements of the departure last week, for Australia, of- the Right Hon. Jas. Bryce., British Ambassador to the United States, for of all the distinguished " mis- representatives " of recent years who have filled that exalted office (he was a little worse than the rest), to him alone adheres the stigma of having exerted his influence to further his own pet political ideas, and this while acting as representative of His Majesty the King. The indiscretion was even worse than that of Sackville-West, for while the action of the latter was perhaps thoughtless and nothing more, that of Mr. Bryce's was a deliberate move to advance thc doctrine of Free Trade and administer a setback to the tariff reform cause in England. It was a lamentable piece of folly to remove him from the sphere of letters, of which there can be no doubt he was a brilliant and shining light, but the recent Taft letter in reference to reciprocity must have convinced Mr. Bryce of his unfitness for the office of ambassador and also shown him that reciprocity was not the sole end and purpose of the measure. One would have thought that his appointment as British representative at Washington would have severed his connection, at any rate for the time being, move about and do my work. I persevered with. Zam-Buk, with the re- sidt that the wound is now perfectly cured, while the limb is as sound and strong- as ever. To any person suffering from ulcerated sores I would say, "try Zam-Bnk." Zam-Buk is just as good for piles, abscesses, boils, scalp sores, blood poison, festering wounds, cuts, bums, scalds, bruises, eczema, eruptions and all other injuries and diseases.

On the following day he travelled to Grand Forks, where the impressive service was' repeated in Holy Trinity church. Rev. Henry Steele, Rural I Dean of Grand Forks, Rev. L. Lee and John Mitton accompanied him to the Forks. The end of the era of wood;burning stoves and heaters seems to be in sight, and another step tending towards the preservation of our forests, has been made by the placing on the markets of the Boundary of the splendid product of the new Princeton collieries/ The coal is of excellent quality and the supply inexhaustible. As an evidence of its popularity in Phoenix, a" recent shipment of several tons was disposed of by D. !>.. McElroy within a few days after its arrival in town. - Brighten things up a bit! [. This is the season of the year when everybody should give the home a chance and brighten things up a bit. The walls and ceilings stare you in the face every hour of the day and are entitled to more consideration than most people give. Try the effect of new wall papers, and allow AI. Almstrom to show you some of the new designs and submit estimates for your consideration. It is difficult to convey without actual seeing, any notion of the attractive patterns he has recently placed'in stock. : In various cities throughout the province, a day or a portion of one has been set apart and devoted to the cleaning up of yards, gardens, alleys, etc. Nelson has just held her cleaning up carnival, and a recent arrival in Phoenix, who was in Nelson during the operation, was agreeably surprised at the manner in which the citizens of that town co-operated with tho municipal authorities in cleaning up and beautifying their alleys and lots. Now, Phoenix outside of the work on the. streets, has never counted a cleanup day on its municipal calendar, and judging from the disreputable condition of its alleys, a half day could be profitably spent in putting them in shape.in order that they can be used for the purpose for which they were originally intended. - - -���. One of thc ladies comprising the Manitoba party which recently passed through Phoenix, appears to have had some difficulty in locating a church on Sunday evening last. In her dilemma she applied for information to at least fifteen young men at the Brooklyn hotel, but without success; seeing another gentleman on the street who had. the appearance of being an old- timer, she applied to him for guidance. "Don't know mum," was the reply. " Do you mean to tell me that you don't know where the church is! How long have you been in this town?" queried the searcher for a tabernacle. "About ten years muni. You seel never'tend church," was the apologetic reply of the sinner. " Well, it's aoout time you commenced." Was the parting words of the astonished lady. Later an intelligent looking young man was found who conducted the ladies to tlie K. P. Hall, only, to find that there was no evening service of the Presbyterian church.
