In the historical organization of the railroad, Mr. Baker was one of the principal actors. Before he | B died, the former secretary put down on Paper, as the last sur- viving member of the original group, just what were the cir- cumstances surrounding the begin- nings of the great company's or- ganization. he company was formed on February 15, 1881, and the organization meeting of the board of directors was held two days later. Charles Drinkwater was named secretary of the com- pany, the first official to be ap- pointed, according to the account of the historical event as related by Mr. Baker. Mr. Baker's Story Duncan McIntyre, later rirst vice-president of the company, was a member of the "Syndicate' which had iilg the organiza- tion of the C.P.R. He had made a promise to Mr. Baker some time efore that, if the 'Canadian Paci- Late W. R. Baker, ¢ cv. 0. » | fic Railway venture" came to any- thing, he would 'remember him." In his account of the matter, Mr, Baker recounts that 'the matter had passed out of my mind" when on the night of February 18, 1881, he received a message from Mr. McIntyre. "I was the Faste at night, in my office in the Eastern Block at Ottawa, preparing the estimates for Parliament, when a boy walked in with a telegram," Mr. Baker related. Following the instructions con- tained in the message, Mr. Baker went to the "Bank cottage"-- the little house attached to the Bank of Montreal for the use of members Yisiting Ottawa--and there met the little group of great builders of the great road. There seated at a table Yrere Donald Smith, later , Pn Strath- cona; George Stephen, Is later Lord Mount Stephen; Angus and Duncan MelIntyre. The upshot of his interview with these historic figures was that he went to Winni- peg with A. B. Stickney, general superintendent of the C.P.R. west- ern division, as accountant on construction, and auditor of opera- tion. "The salary was 50 per cent. better than I yas a gelling in the civil service," aker explains in his autobiographical account, By I said at once 'I will 5° wher- ever you want me to go.' On the way to Winni; ipeg there were short stops at Chicago and St. Paul, where Mr. Baker had an opportunity of looking into the American system of railway ac- counts. A special tran took the rty to Winnipe, Those with . Baker were: A. B. Stickney, | gSneral pvr ilo Bord William arder, assistant traffic manager, Joel May, superintendent, and F. C. Butterfield , master mechanic. "This party was 'the original traffic organization of the Canadian Paci- fic Railway," Mr. Baker recorded, "Before we arrived at ipeg," he continued, "Mr. Stickney de- cided that he wanted me to By as his assistant and I was accordingly _ appointed to the position of assis- taht, to the general superintend- en! Various Appointments In Winnipeg, Mr. Baker held several positions successively in the C.P.R. He was, purchasing agent, assistant to general manager local treasurer, assistant to general superin iepdent, executive agent and filled several other Positions. He was also connected with the Manitoba and North West Rail- way. In 1901 he left Winnipeg for Montreal. On that occasion he was presented with a solid silver service by the business community of the western city. During his connection with the railway, Mr. Baker came into con- tact with several royal personages. He was in charge of the royal train over the C.P.R. lines during the several visits of the Prince and Princess of Wales, now the reigning monarchs; Prince Arthur of Con- naught, and Prince Fushimi. In returg for his services to these royal visitors he was presented with several testimonials and re- ceived several titles. Among his titles were: Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, Com- mander of the Order of the Sacred Treasure of Japan, Esquire of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and Freeman of the City of York. He held audiences with Their Majesties King George and Queen Mary at Buckingham Palace in 1911. of "it is yi in i Ee a i to specimens a full- new hotel'is to be built at Kentville has been received with enthusiasm, not if commercial men but travelling public as weil in Nova Scotia, At the same time the Dominion Atlantic Rail- enforced by the act of 1870 ana THEATRE MANAGER the managers are going to test the legality of its present enforcement.

There are 1,259,987 tele- phones. in Canada, recently pub- lished statistics disclose, allowing for a 'phone for every eight per- sons. If all the conversations that took place during the past year were placed end to end they would be heard in Mars, for every citizen held on an average of 221 conversations during 1928. Pre- sumably this does not include wrong numbers, One of Montreal's first big bufild- ings that was demolished to make room for one of the latest sky- scrapers downtown has appeared on an entirely mew site, to the amazement of the citizens. So care- fully was the building taken down that scarce a score of new stones were required to complete its re- construction on its new lot. Up to December 31, 1928 the Canadian Pacific had spent in co- lonization and Canadian develop- ment work, land settlement, etc. nearly $85,000,000 of its own money. Sir Charles Gordon, GBE, president of the Bank of Montreal, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Canadian Paci- fic Railway to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr, J. K.

A shipment of animals that will resemble the cargo of livestock on Noah's Ark will take place shortly from Moose Jaw Wild Animal Park, when a number of buffalo, mule deer, elk and other animals will be sent to the Rocky Mountain National Park at Banff, Alberta. Everyone in Canada is worth $2,700 ! That at any rate, is what government figures show, the ag- gregate national wealth for 1928-- $26,691,482,000--working out at that amount per person. Agriculture is the largest single item, and the western provinces come first in the highest per capita wealth of any part of the Dominion. The Canadian Pacific Railway, in co-operation with the Manitoba Department of Agriculture, Seed Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture and the Manitoba Agricultural College, has provided two good seed cars and a poultry car, which is travelling through that province. There are demon-. strations of grasses, clover and corn, and poultry displays, 'while . accompanying lecturers talk on the importance of good seed and forage erops, and lecture on the rearing of chickens, turkeys, etc, , PURE SILK Supersilk Announces A New Full- F ashioned Silk HOSE at $1.50 pr.
