“The Old P Pion

Charles (anvine) Harvey, born in
Tioston, Mass., on October 15th, 1850.
After travelling extensively through-
out the United Staes and Mexico, do-
ing many jobs, he came to Canada in
188%. Here he worked, _ pioneering,
opening up counry, prospecting, farm-
ing and. finally landed in. Hazelton in
1903. Old timers remember generous
hearted Peavine when he had a real
estate office and hotel in Hazelton

from 1910 to 1918. He was owner of

the Hazelton hotel from 1011 to 1918.
While in the real estate business Pea-
yine twas eaptured by ‘the grace and
charm .of his stenographer and joined
in matrimonial wedlock in 1912, and
marriage was followed by the arrival
of son, Gordon Harvey, in 1916, In
those days, at 64, Harvey claims, and
old timers confirni his statement, he
could heat any boy in Hazelton in a
hundred yard dash.

Acquiring wealth, but apending it

lavishly, Harvey stated that he used

to be a playboy. But he never spent
an cent but what: he was glad of it.

Construction days Inred the man of
iron to Smithers in 1913 or 14, He
was the first man te have a Crown
Grant in Smithers, staking a pre-emp-
tion which he sold to the Jate Jas.
Cronin, The farm is now operated by
Mrs. Chas. Chapman.

Peavine states that, he also jaid the
stukes for Nelson, Canoe River, Wood
River, and varjous other towns ant
cities, Unfaillng in henlth, active in

During the celebration, - feeling us
young as ever, he had a: grent time ul-
hnrdening ‘his views of life to the old
timers. Rich in common sense, awizen-
ol ly experience, hardened by hard

 kieeks, bis statements contain logic,
If Harvey had a minute In which to!

address the world he would probably
say. “Washington never saw 2 enllege,

Asked the -preseription to jong life
Peavine replied, “No more liquor than

Ve also attributes his long ‘life to his
‘vcnerous ‘eense of humor. At 88 the

“Late N. R. Cary |

Norman. Robertson Cary of Hazel-

‘ton passed away in the Smithers hos-

pit] last Friday morning, Auguat 12th.
Recently discharged from the Hazel-
ton Hospital as a patient, he was
feeling so much better that he went up
to Smithers on the 5th to spend a holi-
day at Lake Kathlyn while he regnin-
ed his strength. The excitement of
the celebration in Smithers and the
fire on: Sunday proved too great a
strain on him and on Monday he was
taken to the Smithers Hospital where
he was given every attention, but died
the following Friday morning.
‘The late Norman Cary was © native
of ‘this province, having been born in
Vancouver in July, 1893. He came to
Hazelton in 1910 and workedsein Cun-
ningham’s store for some years. and
then was with the Dominion Tele
graphs for a-time until he joined the
staff of the Hazelton Hospital in 1917
as engineer in charge of the power
plant. In that position he remained
until his last illness. He suffered a
strain to his heart some years ago, but
i¢ was not serious until last winter
when he had a long seige in the hos-
pital. But he recovered from that and
resumed duty again with the help of
his oldest son. David, but in the early
spring ‘he suffered. another spell, and
it was due only to’ the skill of Dr.
Kirkpatrick and the care of the nurs-
ing staff that he again pulled through
and was able to get about again,

In 1921 he was married to AMisg
Snrah “(Molley). Phillips, RN, whe
was on the hospital staff, having come
out from Toronto in 1918. Mrs, Cary

the closing exercises. His subject was

causes of loneliness among the people

that the only solution for loneliness
wads faith Mz. Ponter is a very im-

Stayed With Boat

at Avelling Conl Mine on Sunday, A.
J. Rutherford end Bob Dunlop made
up a trio bound for Pine Creek cross-
ing where they were to survey a loca-
tion for a bridge. Work was comple-
ted on the near side of the river, but
when they were to‘eross to the other
side Wilson suggested that. he and
1 Bob go first as-the hout would hold
only two. But Rutherford persuaded
Wilson to take him. first. ‘They start-
ed and were nicely on their way when

ped. Atvay went the boat with Wil-

rovks. -Wiison wanted Rutherford to
jump, but. nothing doing Hke that for
Allan, We :stayed with his transient,
his menns of making a living, So the
two stayed with the ship. The ripids
were bubbling angrily in their de-
sire. to. swallow the men. The men
were going faster and. faster. Mad
awaves splashed into the boat, but Wil-
‘son paddled on. Dunlop, on shore, did
not appreciate the danger for some
time. Later a search party was sent
out for the surveyors and found them
abont nine o’elock at night. Wilson
and Itutherford had a narrow squeak.

creamery at Teikwa. Lots have been
selected and the building is to be erect

the plant will be in operation in the
spring. This will be a great boon to
the farmers of the Bulkley Valley,

Glacier a Picture

Quite a number of families and
cainpers take. refuge from the burning
stn in-Smithers and spend their holi-
days in summer resorts and tents at
Lake Kathlyn. This lake, formerly
known as Chicken Lake; is the beauty
spot of the Bulkley Valley, presenting
as it does, a perfeet view of the large,
blue, snow covered glacier, This gla-
cler, perched between two hills of the
Hudson Bay mountain, about three
miles from the lake, is noticeably de-
minishing.. The ice has gradually
melted down-and the marks of its or-
iginal size can be seen. Th glacier is 3
miles long, bending behind mountains
out of sight. ‘Visitors from the south
gaze at this in wonder and exclaim,
“Scenery like this compensates for the
bumpy. roads, *
