ontario sir donald mann 7 died on saturday continued from page one pleted sir donald departed for chile where he spent a year fighting spaniards and indians and constructing a railway for the government again associated with sir herbert holt when his work in chile was completed sir donald re turned to canada and went west again on this occasion to build the regina long lake railway 250 miles from regina to prince albert for three years the same group continued railway con struction in the west building the calgary edmonton line and the line from calgary to maclepd when it was apparent that all possible railway lines in the west had been built by the mackenzie mann company and the canadian pacific railway group mr mann turned to british columbia as the avenue of his endeavors there for three years until 1895 he devoted himself to mining and the development of natural resources he opened up several mining properties which proved to be successful in 1909 sic donald and bis partner secured bond guarantees from alberta and saskatchewan to build lines in the two provinces they also negotiated an agreement with the british columbia government for a guarantee of canadian northern funds to complete the- line from yellowhead pass to vancouver at a cost of 535000 a mile sir donalds career then became the career of a great canadian developing a transcontinental system tne firm of mackenzie mann com pany gradually controlled 5000 miles of railway including lines in ontario with its railway system it built two ocean going vessels named the royal edward and the royal george which were at the time the fastest in the british- canadian service as the work proceed ed sir william raised the finances while sir donald directed the actual work it is a coincidence
