Born in New Hampsh_ire,he was rear-f ed in Vermont. ',His first railroadingi was done on _ the Central Vermont` at St. Albans. About the same timel Mr. Charles S. Mellen, new President of `the New York, New- Haven" andl Hartford Railway, began his career, at the same place and on the same line. D. B. Robinson, afterward, President of the Mexican Nationa.l; W. B. Strong, late President of the Sante Fe, andmany other suceessful railway men, were wrought out among. these" rugged hills; and Judge Prouty,! the Watchdog of `the railway world,` comes-"` from Vermont. I \ `Like his illustrious pred-ecessor, Mr. Mr. .Chamber1in had become prov t cient in many branches of railway 1- work, when Mr. Booth, the lumber 3; king, decided to build a railway from [1 Lake Champlain up `Into the forests of Ontario. Mar." Chamberlain was 1 selected `for this work, a.nd he imme- diately established himself on the job. Charles-. M. Hays, Mr. Chamberlin thrived on work. Camping? at the front, he literally slept in the open until the road was completed. Hei followed the builders, .was. with them and of them from start to nish.j The lumber road was ultimately push- ed westward to Georgian Bay. And when it was nished it was called the Canada Atlantic, and, connectingi` with the Grand Trunk at Cotoau " Junction. began to bid for -business 5 of carrying, people between Montreal 5 and Ottawa. To its older and strong-` ' V I er competitor this seemed like a joke. 1` Time cards were tightened. up and i` the big line s locomotives used to I whistle by the lumber road--whist- ling them -ahead. l ` 1 I .0 I` `I A.`I . When the Vice-Presidency of _'the Grand Ti-unk Pacie Was made va- cant hy the resig?nation of Mr; Frank W. Morse, {almost every railman in `America whofwas in that elass .was mentioned for the position, says The October Canadian Magazine. A It _.was an attractive` job,/ because it meant the personal supervision of the construction` of the westernhalf of a transcontinental railway which pro- mised to'su19.pass'_in point of physical- perfect-ion' any railway on this or any - other continent. The one man who was not mentioned "for that positiong was Mr. E. J . Cham berlin. N i ""i`h;{;n.:f$ the Canada .Atlan- ggageh tic .was ambitious.

Here again he did not seek the place. As a matter of fact he } tried to side-step, but the job was _|a big one, an attractive one, and [Ithere were certain associations, coup-' ,lled .with the" desire to see this great . work completed, and all these. fac- tors and inuences combined to per- suade him to accept the Presidency [of the Grand Trunk System. ' Mr. Ll Chamberlin is a strong man, a strong .`'`character. He has the condence of ;-his Board of Directors and of his of- fcials. Although born in the United ; States, so much of his life work has _:been Canada that he has become rooted invthe Dominion, has a pride in its development and can be de- pended upon, in season and out, to ;work for l the advancement of all thing's Canadian, just as surely as have the. American-_born heads of the 7' Grand Trunk s chief Canadian com- lipetitor. ' . 1 1 -1- 1 0 1 `I -iMr. Chambrlin, having `tasted the exeitementlof Vconslt-ruction, of creat- decided to retire from the road and enter the businas of railway ' building. He had drifted to the -southwest and was engaged in big lwork there when the President of the Grand Trunk System sought him out and asked him to- visit Montreal. ;Very reluctantly the contractor ac- zoepted the Vice-Presidency and Gen- I eral-Managership of the Grand Trunk lPacic_. Now, as in the days when lhe was building the Canada Atlantic, lhe insisted upon going to the front. `Almost the first thing he did was to `pull up stakes at Montreal and trans- fer his oicial headquarters to Win- nipeg. The fa.ct that he did this: re- 3veals a strong characteristic of the" lman--his idea of the importance of being on -the job all the time. , There is an interesting story to the` [eifect that Mr. Chamberlain had re- lmarked, playfully, to a friendt that ihe would enjoy just such a job as building the Grand Trunk Pacic. A. part of this story is that this friend _was the first man to recommend /Mr. 'Chamberlin for this position, bu_t he lhad already been chosen. While hel put his heart into the work, as he al- ways did into all his work, it was.,well known that Mr. Clmmberlin had in his mind the matter of retiring whenl the _Grand Trunk Pacic should be linked up with the Atlantic Ocean. He did not want the job--he did not need the `money. but he felt that this lmuch he owed -to his chief, the late `President Hays. V at the speed of the little line. Pres- ently` the two roads-three, in. fact, "because the Grand Trunk was made a -part of the ro_ute--got together and `s1a_ckenedj the . maddening speed.

The bulk of Mr. Russe1l s fortune was invested" inrea1-' estate and mort- gages, although there was about $22,- 373 in the .bank and some $9,725 in- vested in stocks of various kinds. Eight daughters and one son divide the major portion of the estate. Each of nine grandchildren gets: $1,000 and a nephew gets a similar amount. Another nephew and two nieces, all the children of the brother of the deceased, Thomas Russell, get $500 each. Clem Hanscomb, the late Mr. Russe11 s coachman, is be- queathed $500.

The bulk of the real` estate hold- ings of the estate are in the East end of Toronto. Two: farms adjoining the Kingston Road of 40 and 60 acres respectively and some rows of stores and houses in Queen Street east, are the principal items. The shares of the children are not equal, and this is probably accounted for by the ref- erence in each clause to what the testator has previously given the beneciary. ' Joseph Russell, the son (who is married to a daughter of Mr. Thos. Lowe of Barrie) is left the 40-acre farm in the Township of Scarboro , which is valued at $20,000. Miss Elizabeth A. Russell receives 130 feet of land and the premises on the north side of Queen street immediately east of Logan, valued at $10,300, and the property at the north-west corner of Queen and Verral streets now leased to the Baldwin estate. This property has a frontage of 103 feet on Queen street and is valued at $12,750. Miss Annie Eleanor Russell acquires six houses and four stores at the corner of Carlaw Avenue and Queen street, which property is valued by the exe- cutors at $31,725.
