This railway, which was absorbed by the C. P. R. in 1881, had been incorporated in 1861 to build a railway from Lake Huron to Ottawa. via. <â€" Pembroke and Arnprior, and from Ottawa to Montreal. A further connection with the idea of a transâ€" continental railway occurs in his apâ€" pointment in the same year as joint secretary with M. de Bellefeuille of the original Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way Company, the charter of which reverted to the Canadian Governâ€" ment. Mr. Baker, however, temporâ€" erily left railway life in 1874 to beâ€" come A.D.C. and private secretary to the Marquis of Dufferin, Governorâ€" General of Canada. From 1878 to 1881, he was assistant secretary to the Treasury Board at Ottawa, but when ths famous Syndicate took up the work of completing the construcâ€" tion of the Canadian Pacific Railway be left the Government service and foined this great enterprise as assisâ€" tant to the general superintendent and local treasurer of the Western WDivision at Winnipeg.

These were pioneering days in the West. and the C. P.
