In May 1906, following Rason's resignation, Price was named Minister for Works in the new ministry formed by Newton Moore, although he had been in parliament for less than a year. He resigned in June 1909 on medical grounds, but was retained in the ministry as an honorary minister.[1][3] In early 1910, Price left Australia for what was described as a "health trip" to England.[4] He was taken ill on the voyage, and was taken to hospital once his ship had reached Cape Town, South Africa, where he lingered for two months before dying.[5]James Price Point, a geographical feature in the Kimberley, was named in his honour,[1] as was Price Street in South Fremantle.[6]
