" The Western Division of the Canadian Pacific Railway." ' By the late J. C. James and Ai-an Macdouqalt., M. Inst. r.E., F.R.S.E. The first line of railway to cross the American coutiiiont was the Union Pacific, completed in May 1869, and the construction of this was justly entitled to the praise meted out to it ; it was an under- taking of great magnitude, and, to a large extent, an experiment. The railroad was built at the rate of 1 mile per day in many portions ; this rapidity of work not being confined to short sections, but extending over considerable distances. One of the most sur- and prising circumstances connected with its progress was the rapidity with which track was laid. It was an unequalled engineering success at that time. This road was similar in many respects to the Canadian Pacific Railway ; it entered an uninhabited and un- explored country, all labour, supplies for man and beast, and track materials had to come from its eastern end ; and, as the lino progressed, the field of action was always receding from the base of supplies. On these points there is a common comparison between the twq systems. During the working season of 1881 the progress of the Canadian Pacific Railway far exceiled that of any railway hitherto built ; satisfactory as this was, it was completely eclipsed by the progress effected in 1882. The Canadian Pacific Railway was originally projected by the Government of the Dominion on the Confederation of the Province of British Columbia in 1871, to give an all-rail route on Canadian territory. It had also another and equally important project, namely, the colonization of the extensive tracts of fertile land • Additional information, particularly as to the estimated cost of works, is contained in the following reports which will be found in the Library of tho : — Institution " Canadian Pacific Railway ; Report of Progress on the Ex- plorations and Surveys up to January, 1874,'' by Sandford Fleming, Eugineer- in-Chief. Also " Report on Surveys and Preliminary Operations up to January 1877;" and Reports 1879 and 1880. B 2 JAMEB AND MACDOUQALL ON [Selected forming the great North- V^eBt Territory. Surveys were com- menced at once and extended over several years, under the charge of Mr. Sandford Fleming, O.M.G., M. Tnst. C.E., who issued several reports on the country and the various projected routes. The line finally determined upon was located 20 miles to the north of what was then called Fort Garry, now the site of the city of Winnipeg, in continuation of the lino from Lake Superior. It took a north-westerly direction, passing to the east of Lake Manitoba, and crossing it at the neck of land near its centre ; then passing to the west of the lake and south-Avest of Lake Winnipcgoosis, till parallel 62° north latitude was intursocted nejJr 101° west ' agi- tude. Its route is thence westerly to Fort Edmonton, about 113° 30' west longitude, 53° 30' north latitude, till it enters the valley of the River Athabasca, 117° 20' west longitude, 53° 30' north latitude ; which it follows up to the Yellowhead Pass in the Hocky Mountains, about 118° 45' west longitude, 52° 50' north latitude. A good deal of Avork was done on this track, and the telegraph line erected as far as Fort Edmonton, and operated for several years. While these explorations were being carried on, the route from Thunder Bay, on Lake Superior, to Selkirk, the point north of Winnipeg already mentioned, was determined, and the contracts were let.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

    457 MAIN STREET CONFEDERATION LIFE BUILDING City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings & Resources Committee Researcher: M. Peterson April 2020 This building embodies the following heritage values as described in the Historical Resources By-law, 55/2014 (consolidated update July 13, 2016): (a) This building was completed by 1912 during the early years of Winnipeg’s dramatic growth phase that lasted until 1915; (b) It is associated with Confederation Life Association, influential international insurer; (c) It features a wealth of architectural detailing and is an excellent example of the Chicago Style of architecture with Sullivanesque detailing; (d) It is an important example of steel and reinforced concrete construction and and terra cotta cladding; (e) The building stands within the Exchange District National Historic Site and has defined its rounded corner of Main Street since construction; and (f) The building’s exterior has suffered little alteration. 457 MAIN STREET – CONFEDERATION LIFE BUILDING Winnipeg’s Main Street had its beginnings as a winding, approximately 32.0-kilometre trail, 40 metres wide, running north-south along the Red River connecting the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) posts of Upper Fort Garry and Lower Fort Garry.1 Referred to as the King’s Highway, the Garry Road and Garry Street, it was used by horses and Red River carts during the fur trade era to automobiles in the 20th century.2 Regardless of the mode of transportation on it, Main Street developed into one of regions most important commercial thoroughfares. Until 1849, the HBC enjoyed a complete monopoly on trade in the region, which prohibited citizens from operating private commercial ventures.

Box 1000 Concorde, ON L4K 1B9 Attention: Alan MacDougall, P.Eng. District Superintendent Dear Alan: Re: Highway 404 Extension crossing the CN Bala Subdivision, East of Pefferlaw The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) received approval under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) on August 28, 2002 for the Extension of Highway 404. The EA consists of 45 kilometres of new four-lane freeway from Davis Drive in Newmarket to Highway 48 east of Pefferlaw, as well as the twinning to four lanes of nine kilometres of the existing Highway 48 to Highway 12 / 48. Two kilometers of Highway 404, from Davis Drive to Green Lane, was opened to traffic in 2002, based on an approval obtained by York Region. In March 2004 MTO retained URS Canada Limited (URS) / McCormick Rankin Corporation (MRC) / Ecoplans Limited (consultant team) to undertake further engineering and environmental work on the Environmental Assessment approved alignment to obtain a decision under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) and clearance under OEAA. The MTO contact for this project is John Klowak, P. Eng, who can be reached at (416) 235-5533. I will act as the consultant contact for technical issues. The EA proposes a grade separation over the CN Rail line west of Durham Road 23. During the EA process CN was contacted and advised of the study and to provide the study team with the long term plans for the rail corridor. This resulted in the conceptual plan shown in the EA.
