Lord Shaughnessy, whose passing ljauada mourns today, was 9. man om this calibre, and because -of the in- tangible nature of that essence which memes for greatness and crystallizes leadership, the record of his char- acteristics, his gifts and his achieve- ments must leave much untold.

And this, from the London Times, ever the spokesman for the heart of - that Empire: 'l`h`e\romance,imagina- ' tion and fine courage of the Empire builder are blended in the life story of Lord Shaughnessy. Himself a native of the United States, he lived to become not only a citizen of the Dominion of Canada across the bor- dcr but most essentially a citizen of the British Empire, for his whole- henrted and efficient work was not merely dedicated to the service of his country. Under his administra- tion, the double track branched and extended so as to carry new settlers every year into the farmlands of On- tario, through the gateways of the West into the wheat-fields of the prairies, and beyond the Rockies into the valleys of British Columbia. In building the greatness of the com- pany he served, he helped to build the greatness of his beloved country and of the Empire as well. . . . Oi Lord Shaughnessy it may be said that he was a living instance of the manner in which Britain's overseas domlnious assimilate the many ele- ments of which they are composed. 111: came to Canada from a foreign country as :1 servant; he remained to be honoured by the King, to whom he gave such loyal allegiance, and to be recognized universally among his fellow-countrymen as the first citizen of the Dominion." .... u AA 1..
