    Barker Letter Book Volume 1 Page(s) 1 - 4 AEmilius Jarvis November 8, 1905 McKinnon Building, Toronto, Ont. Dear Sir:- None of your valued favors unanswered. I have heard nothing recently from Mr. R. Kelly regarding any action taken by Mr. Sloan, as the result of your meeting the Government. As I informed you, I called on Mr. Kelly immediately on receipt of your letter containing the memorandum of what the Government agreed to do, providing Mr. Sloan endorsed it, and the request that he wire his endorsement, or better, that he go East and stay there until the Order in Council was made. I told Mr. Kelly that our Company would guarantee any expense attached to the trip. The next day Mr. Kelly sent up for a copy of the Memorandum for Mr. Sloan: I sent it together with extracts from your letter, and asked Mr. Kelly to arrange for a meeting with Mr. Sloan, as I would like to talk over the matter with him, but have heard nothing from either Mr. Kelly or Mr. Sloan. I however, have seen both the Wallace Bros., and Mr. R. Drainey and they have seen both Kelly and Sloan, they and the Bell-Irvings have given me to understand that they have endorsed all we have said and done. I have seen Mr. Sweeny several times since his return, he seems to agree with what has been done, but seems to think the newly appointed Commission should act in the matter and that the Government will follow their recommendations. In the meantime the people who intend building at Rivers Inlet and Skeena are going ahead with their preparations.

  • Advocates Push for Passenger Rail Stop in Blaine | the Northern Light
    Advocates push for passenger rail stop in Blaine | The Northern Light https://web.archive.org/web/20190718003404/https://www.thenort... JJuullyy 1177,, 22001199 Bookmark This Site Advocates push for passenger rail stop in Blaine By Jami Makan Advocates of an Amtrak passenger rail stop in Blaine met over the weekend, but organizers cautioned that much work remains to be done before it becomes a reality. A meeting hosted by rail advocacy group All Aboard Washington (AAWA) took place on July 13 at the Semiahmoo Resort. The turnout was high, with many in the audience arguing that an Amtrak passenger rail stop in Blaine is long overdue. On the Amtrak Cascades service, there are currently no stops between Fairhaven Station in Bellingham and Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, B.C. The event featured presentations by Bruce Agnew, director of the Cascadia Center; Dr. Laurie Trautman, director of Western Washington University’s Border Policy Research Institute (BPRI); and others. Audience members including Blaine city manager Michael Jones, Blaine mayor Bonnie Onyon, state representative Luanne Van Werven and White Rock city councilor Scott Kristjanson also addressed the gathering. The consensus was that a rail stop in Blaine would not only serve north Whatcom County, but would also serve those living in southern B.C. According to statistics presented at the meeting, there are almost a million B.C. residents who live south of the Fraser River. “That’s bigger than Snohomish County, which has three rail stops,” said Agnew. In order to determine how many of those B.C. residents would use a Blaine rail stop, the next step is for an “investment grade” ridership 1 of 3 2/5/20, 10:23 AM Advocates push for passenger rail stop in Blaine | The Northern Light https://web.archive.org/web/20190718003404/https://www.thenort..

  • Research Note SS Beaver on the Lower Fraser River Route, 1898
    Research Note The Cruise of the Steel Steamer: SS Beaver on the Lower Fraser River Route, 1898–1926 Trevor Williams* n British Columbia, newly named vessels earn the “Beaver” mat- ronymic under the weight of great expectations. This single word swells with the spirit of colonial-era trading and exploration, arising from the first such-named vessel, the original Beaver, a steamer built in I 1835 England in and owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company. This wooden side-wheeler plied the rivers and oceans of precolonial British Columbia before being marooned upon the rocks at Prospect Point, near Vancouver, in 1870. As she rotted and was slowly looted, this much- photographed steamboat was only beginning to be transformed, through the tributes and eulogies given by historians, into a cultural icon of the frontier explo- ration and conquest of British Columbia by newcomer settlers. Because of the heritage and culture embedded within the name “Beaver,” only one paddlewheel steamer could be given the same name of this evolving cultural icon, and such a boat had to be known as a special vessel, even before it was built.1 In 1898, at Albion Iron Works, in the inner harbour of Victoria, British Columbia, “a new shipyard has sprung into existence, in which the first stern-wheeled, steel vessel ever put together in this province is to be built!” This was an unprecedented year for shipbuilding in British Columbia, where several new sternwheel boats designed to conquer the Yukon rivers were being assembled in Victoria and New Westminster. Of course, most boat builders were also woodworkers, but this new steel steamer being built for Canada Pacific Navigation (CPN) mainly needed ironworkers * Thank you to Jude Angione, Merlin Bunt, George Duddy, and John MacFarlane for their assistance.

  • Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project EAC Application: Part B Section 7.1
    PATTULLO BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT EAC APPLICATION PART B SECTION 7.1 HERITAGE RESOURCES 7.1 HERITAGE RESOURCES Heritage Resources - Summary of Assessment: . The Project is located in an area that has a long history of human habitation and therefore has very high archaeological potential. The designation of New Westminster as the early Colonial Capital increases the post-AD 1846 heritage potential of the study area. Heritage potential was modelled using information from a range of sources including; Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge, known archaeological sites, information about named places, ethnographic and historical sources including letters, gazetteers, and other post-AD 1846 sources. Potential Project-related residual effects on tangible and intangible aspects of heritage resources could arise as result of: o Disturbance of protected heritage resources o Changes to landscapes o Changes to land use o Changes to Fraser River scour and deposition and its effect on shoreline heritage resources . Key mitigation measures will include: o Inclusion of Aboriginal Groups in the research, planning and execution of ongoing heritage assessments, the development of management recommendations, the development of a Heritage Management Policy, and an Interpretive Plan. o Implementation of a Project-specific Ancestral Remains Protocol, which is currently being updated in consultation with Aboriginal Groups. o A commitment to minimize impacts to significant intact archaeological resources and to focus, wherever possible, on previously disturbed corridors for construction. o A commitment to avoid protected historical heritage resources within the Project area wherever possible. Where protected historical heritage resources cannot be avoided they will be documented and impacts appropriately offset . No significant Project-related residual or cumulative effects on heritage resources are expected.

From the head office of his resource-based empire's foundation, the British Columbia Mills Timber and Trading Company (hereafter the BCMT&T) in Vancouver,1 he presided over a host of activities. One of these, the Vancouver, West­ minster and Yukon Railway Company (hereafter the VW&Y) has a particular interest for students of British Columbian and Canadian busi­ ness history, for it involved him in complex negotiations with real estate speculators, railway promoters, steamship company owners, wholesalers, manufacturers, American lumbermen and governments at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. Examining his promotion of it, therefore, sheds much light not only on one businessman's modus operandi', it also conveys a sense of the manner in which businessmen generally sought to get their way in the difficult world created by large companies, rival political parties, conflicting jurisdictions and a belief in the almost limit­ less opportunity open to them if they acted with speed and efficiency.
