VETERAN RAILWAY MAN ENDS FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE
I Forty years of service as a loco
{motive engineer with a clear ca <i
land never to have had a imssonj. .•
lor trainman killed on anyt-ain h
jpiloted, is the proud record of
James F. Fisher of Medicine Hat,
iAlberta, a Canadian Pacific engi
neer, who has just retired on a
pension.
i His first job with the company
wag running a construction engin
ou a track-laying job near Maple
Creek in Saskatchewan in 1882.
Later he spent two years working
on a similar job on the “Big Hill’’
near Field in the Selkirks. Thj
thousands of American touru;i
who travel in comfort and luxury
over tnis marvelous stretch of rail,
way every year, tan imagine the
strenuous labours it took to builo
it In spite of the fact that onl)
light, wood-burning engines were
used and hand brakes only were
avt liable, not an accident occurred
during its construction.
When Fisher brought his wife to
.Medicine I at in 18ft'i, they set up
housekeeping in a bnx.ct provided
by the company. He says it was
v. ; nd comfc- ’ ' le and is still
standing today, housing a Chinese
laundry.

of over sixty miles. Every one
lived in tents for the first year.
There were two wooden note!*,
which Mr. Fisher describes as
“noisy Joints,” where gambling
was run wide-open t.nd where
Whiskey-runners made their he

James Fisher remembers when
the wheat fields i today were
strewn with buffalo carcasses, '.\e
Americans havinK me in t !
slaughtered the animals for their
hides, leaving the carcasses to rot.
Later the bones were gathered up
and shipped to sugar refineries in
Chicago. That is why visitors »

made a dean sweep of them, for

This veteran driver of the iron
horse is proud to relate that he
'ove the engine that took Lord
and Lady Aberdeen westward 'rom
Medicine Hat, Lady Aberdeen rid

He also held the throttle of the
engine that drew the Prince cf

HOUSE GUTTED
BY BAD FIRE
LAST EVENING
Interior Old McCloskey Resi
dence Destroyed—$1,500
Loss — Was Insured.
Fire, causing a loss of about
$1,500, completely gutted tbo inter-'
lor of the five room residence at the
top of the stairs on Fast Front
Street, owned by Janies McCloskey,
last night. The exact cause of the
lire is not known but it is thought
to have been caused from an over
heated stove or the explosion of the
stove. No one was in the place at
the time the fire started and it was
first noted about 7 o'clock. The
alarm was turned in and the fire ex
tinguished about 25 minutes past 7.
The loss is covered by insurance,
Mr. McCloskey taid.
The house has not been occupied
for somo time. Last evening Mr.
McCloskey turned it over to Neal i
Gallagher for oceupance. Mr. Galla
gher built a fire in the stove toi
warm the rooms. He left shortly!
after and told Mr. McCloskey that I
before leaving he turned off all the
dampers. Mr. McCloskey said the)
stove was a hot blast make, and'
probably when tHe dampers were alli
turned off, exploded.
Considerable difficulty was exper
ienced by the firemen in getting the'
fire truck through the heavy snow!
on the streets, especially on the hillj
on Qastineau Avenue, to the foot;
of the Bteps. leading to the burning
house The liremen deserve com-!
mendation for their splendid and
efficient work in fighting the fire/
Mr. McCloskey said.
The house was erected by Mr.
McCloskey about 20 years ago, dur
ing the early days of Juneau, and I
is one of the old land marks of the1
town. Mr McCloskey said today he!
is not yet decided whether he willi
build tile place up.*
