It secured very little from the: public till--$l3,003,000 altogether during;; the construction period and $l5,l42_.000;` later by way of loan from the Dominion on which no interest was ever paid. The contractors, sub-contractors and officials. made fortunes at the expense of the ,stock- ' . l holders. One of the early officials drew`) ! 840,000 in a single year, 310,000 more ; I I ': than Sir Robert Peel was then receiving as? : `Premier of Great Britain.

Q Builders of. the Railway _Sentimentally thcrewill be a pang of l regret at: the passing of the Grand Trunk? Railway as a separate corporation and its 3- absorption into the Canadian National Rail-' ways.

The plan, which was altered later after ne-' got-intions with the Laurier Government,` originated in the mind of President Hays' in 1902. He contemplated -the construc-' tion of Grand Trunk tracks from North Bay to the Pacific. The line east of Win-; nipeg was finally located far to the north of North Bay. and was built from Mono-2 ton to Winnipeg by the Dominion Gov-`5 ernnieiit. The Grand Trunk became re- sponsible for the line from Winnipeg to the Pacific, but failed utterly in'its efforts` to finance it, and in subsidies, loans, in-` vestinents "in G.T.P. securities and guar-' antees the Dominion had become responsible 4 for over $l14.000;000 before the G.T.P: be f came bankrupt and had to be taken over by the Minister of Railways as Receiver, and operated as a publicly owned railway. | In nnnnnf.

The directors had "a passion for ex- pansion by the acquisition of subsidiaries. It is on record that---largely in the decade 1880-l890-.+t-he Grand Trunk prior to 1890 absorbed or secured control of seventeen railways in Canada and fifteen in the United States. . Hardly any ofthese acqui- sitions proved profitnble, and some of them,` particularly the lines in Michigan. have had large yearly deficits, met from the net`; earnings of the road in Canada. A recently published memorandum indicated thatthe` relatively small mileage -of the Grand: Trunk System in the'United States account-i ed for the major por`ion. of the deficits that i have. had to be made good in recent years! by the taxpayers of Canada.

But a glance at their names shows that the co-operation of leaders in business and. finance of that day `was sought by ' those handling the project, just as a group of daring and forceful men undertook the construction of the Canadian Pacic through the Western prairie and moun-' tain wilderness to the Pacific a generation later." The Grand Trunk was incorporated in 1852 for the development of Central . Canada, and the Canadian Pacific was a `creation of the 80's_.- being completed in ` 1885. The latter invoked ' the powerful `minds and wills of a group of men, most 'of whom lived almost to-the present day, including "George Stephen (aterward Lord `Mount Stephen), Donald A. Smith (after- ` ward Lord Sttathconal, J. J. Hill and R. B. Angus, while Sir Hugh Allan was closely ;coune'cted with the project in its early stages. 9/! lrn \- `g The names of Grand Trunk incorporators ,7 likewise include men of prominence in their day, like Sir George E. Cartier and Sir A; T. Gait. both fathers of Confederation , and powerful instruments in carrying that ;projoct in Lower Canada. Cartier was in politics nearly all his life. He was a de- .scendant of Jacques Cartier. the earliest :French explorer in Canada, and he took part in the troubles of 1837, after which he escaped and was exiled for sometime.
