On Feb. 14, 1914 nurses held a Valentine’s ball in the partially -furnished hospital to officially open it and to make up for the Christmas party they couldn’t hold due to on-going construction. According to Prince George historian Ted Williams, the pioneer complex, including a cook house and dining hall as well as the hospital, was built by railway contractors, Foley, Welsh and Stewart, for railway construction workers designated to begin construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (BC Rail) south to Quesnel, Williams said. Construction of the PGE line begin on schedule in 1913 and the spring of 1914, but the first world war (1914-1918) broke out and the project was delayed. A top man of those days in charge of locating railway sidings and stations was James C. Anderson, an engineer with GTP Railway. He arrived here by scow in 1912 from Tete Jaune Cache and set up his railway camp along the Fraser River where Taylor Drive is now located. Williams father, George, who worked for the GTP Railway, was a member of the crew who helped move Anderson to Prince George. During the winter of 1912, Anderson did a topographical survey of the area for the GTP from the Fraser River west to what was then known as Fraser Street (Carney Street). In the spring of 1913, Anderson’s camp moved to Miworth and he continued surveying the area from Miworth east to Carney Street. “Then the GTP officials in Boston took the topography study and developed it into city plan,” Williams said. Anderson, who spent many hours with Williams relating his early experiences in this area, died at age 94 in Vancouver in 1986. Prince George pioneer and land surveyor Fred Burden applied the Boston plan to establish lots and streets which first went on sale in the fall of 1913. In the spring of 1914, large numbers of lots were purchased through a world-wide promotion and that’s how the city of Prince George got its start. . .and that’s the truth. ★ ★ ★ Because February is Heart Month, local B.C. Heart Foundation representative, Carole Chalmers passed along this “nice thought for a good cause.” She said William Brons, a Prince George resident who died recently from a heart attack, was honored in a special way this month in Cranbrook. It seems his musician nephew, Greg Brons, and the other members of his dance band, donated their time, in honor of William, to play for a heart fund-raising dance. They played five hours at the Curl-A-Thon event which raised $12,000 for heart disease research and public education. “I just think it was a nice thought and good cause,” Chalmers said. ★ ★ ★ Mr. P.G. will temporarily lose his sight later this month. Watch for him to sport a gigantic white cane and outrageous dark glasses to help promote awareness about those with impaired vision. White Cane Week in Prince George, sponsored by the Canadian Institute for the Blind, will be held Feb. 22 to 27. ★ ★ ★ Prince George pioneer Tom Payne received a lot of good wishes from around town when he turned 91 years old Monday. He’s well known here as a founding member of the Artists Workshop and for his participation in action events like walkathons and the Terry Fox Run. ★ ★ ★ In the better-late-than-never category, the Cluculz Lake Community Association has announced the winners of its Christmas Raffle.
