Montreal Stock Exchange, has for some time been an important factor in financial circles.He came to Montreal in 1889, and, realizing that it was bound to become an important city, invested heavily in suburban real estate.He organized the Montreal Investment & Freehold Company, which acquired a considerable portion of his purchases, including nearly one- -half of the municipality of St.Louis de Mile End, now one of the wards of the city, and a large block adjoining it in Outremont.These constitute what is now known as Montreal Annex, which is densely ~ popilated, although when purchased the only buildings thereon were two old farmhouses.Incidental to his real estate interests, Mr.McCuaig became the largest individual shareholder in the Montreal Park & Island Railway, which was subsequently sold to the Montreal Street Railway Company.About this time Mr.McCuaig became a member of the Montreal Stock Exchange, and, after one or two changes in partners, the firm of McCuaig Bros.Mr.George Durnford.Mr.George Durnford\u2019s name, though familiar to banking and other financial men of affairs, is possibly best known in literary ana philanthropic circles in the city of Montreal.Though \u2014_\u2014 McCUAIG.& Co.was organized, in which are now associated with him D.Rykert McCuaig, G.Eric McCuaig, C.Howard Lewis and Grant Johnston.The firm has branch offices at Ottawa, Sherbrooke, Granby and Sorel, and connections in London, Paris and New York.It does a large local and foreign stock exchange business, and in addition has been prominently associated with the financing of a number of large in- industrial and public utility corporations, such as the Sawyer-Massey Company of Hamilton, the Sherbrooke Railway & Power Company, and more recently the Canadian Locomotive Company.The weekly circulars issued by the firm during the last few years have been prepared with great care and attention to detail.The statistical information they contain is instructive and reliable, and as a result the Financial Press generally quotes freely from them.Mr, McCuaig is a Director of the Ottawa Light, Heat & Power Company, the Sherbrooke Railway & Power Company, the Northern Ohio Traction & Light Company, the Sawyer-Massey Company, and several other important undertakings.born of a military family\u2014his father being a Captain in His Majesty\u2019s 68th Regiment, Durham Light Infantry\u2014 Mr.Durnford\u2019s life training has been mainly commercial.From a shipbuilding firm in Quebec, where he was employed for the two years ending 1856, he entered the Upper Canada Bank in Montreal in his eighteenth year, and later became connected with the Bank of British North America, becoming Manager of its Kingston Branch, which he relinquished in 1880, to become secretary and Treasurer of the Canada Co-Operative Association.It is as a\u201c cHartered acéountint of\" the highest rank that Mr.Durnford is best known, however, and the finality which marks his methods is widely appreciated by a large clientele.Of a naturally retiring disposition, the advice of Mr.Durnford is widely sought after, as being marked invariably by individuality and strong common sense.He is at present Treasurer of the Synod of the Diocese of Montreal (Church of England), which has invested funds of about a million dollars; Treasurer of the Homeopathic Hospital, of the useful Historical Landmark Association, and also of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society, member of the Board of Trustees, Mount Royal Cemetery, etc., etc.Mr.Durnford is a well-known member of the Montreal Board of Trade and a Justice of the Peace, besides being the valued counsellor of pretty nearly every organization or individual which can lay claim to his recognition.When the announcement of the death of the late Mr.Robert Meighen, that great Imperialist and staunch upholder of British connection, was made, the first thought of the Canadian financial world was, that now that the strongest factor in the Lake of the Woods Company was removed, control of the stock might pass into other hands and a merger might be brought about with other milling companies.It is doubtful if the financial world generally thought that Lieut.-Col.Meighen would care to succeed to the position left vacant by the death of his father.But Lieut.-Col.Meighen has promptly accepted the presidency and has indicated in no uncertain manner his intention to be guided largely by the policy of his father.Save for the change in the presidency, and necessary accompanying adjustments, there has been no alteration in the personnel of the management of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company, so that the new president will be surrounded by the men who for so long had been accustomed to the eminently successful policy and methods of his father.Lieut.-Col.Frank Stephen Meighen has been in business fully half of his life of forty-one or forty-two years, and is becoming well-known in commercial circles.Being born wealthy, he was relieved from the necessity and pressure of circumstances which ordinarily force men into business channels, irrespective of any personal tastes they might have.Nevertheless, he worked his way through the offices of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company with credit to himself; and in all probability, previous to his arrangement with the company, had served in other business concerns.He eventually became the treasurer of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company; but he never appeared to covet the prominence in commercial circles to which his position, if nothing else, «\"Weuid-haæve entitled him had he regarded business as the prime occupation.It is unsafe, however, to form any conclusion from all this.It should be remembered that his father was a man of very great energy and unceasing activity, that he loved to mingle with business men and to discuss with them the topics of the day, and that, withal, as the head of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company he ever took precedence and was its only mouthpiece.Frank Meighen is in many respects the exact opposite of his father.He has made no effort to take a prominent position in business.He goes about town minding his own business, and not mingling to any great extent with others, either of high or low degree.He is apparently little of a club man, although he belongs to clubs, and in fact almost owns one of his own.This, by the way, is a polo club out at Back River.Polo is the sport which he particularly patronizes.He keeps fifteen or sixteen polo ponies, besides other horses, and takes a great messe, (Ml LY (MR inexpensive.Drop in and You wouldn\u2019t care to try to get along without an electric toaster if you ever had one.There\u2019s no good reason why you

it is said, of about $10,000 a year.It is one of his pleasures to entertain there other polo lovers and his friends.As his title indicates, he has taken a very considerable interest in military matters all his life, eventually becoming Lieut.-Colonel of one of the battalions of the 5th Royal Scots.During the past few years, P.LYALL & SONS LIMITED General Contiactors Offices in : Toronto, Ottawa, Regina\u201d Moose Jaw and Calgary MONTREAL however, he has dropped out of military life, and has interested himself mainly in the arts.He has contributed freely from his purse for operatic purposes and for the drama, and Montrealers have to thank him more than anyone else for much of the good opera they have had the privilege of listening to during the past few years.Lieut.-Col.Meighen is a great reader and possesses one of the finest libraries in the city.Not only does he own books\u2014he knows them.He has also a penchant for languages and has devoted no little time to them with unusually good results.Besides his native tongue, he is said to speak French and Italian fluently: besides having a good knowledge of Spanish and German.Being thus a man of \"cultivated mind, and having time and much money at his disposal, it is only to be expected that he would have travelled much.As a matter of fact, he has spent much time abroad, à + | and no doubt his interest in foreign languages has been due largely to this.A few years ago he spent the winter in Italy with an Italian count, where he not only made himself proficient in the language, but became acquainted with the life of the country.Frank Meighen has been spoken of as one of the closest examples in Canada of the best type of the leisurely English class.No one would ever associate him with the around- town moneyed group.He géëéèms to be devoid of any desire for publicity, and no one could well be less ostentatious.Having money at his command, he might have gone the pace with the smart set, instead of which he has rather lived the life of a retired gentleman.\u2014 2-2.Field-Marshal Lord Roberts was 79 years of age on September 30th.Los Angeles, in California, has mounted a squad of policemen on

Canada.He has devoted considerab'e time, and \u2018with good effect, to charitable work in Montreal, particularly to that in connection with the Royal Victoria Hospital, of which splendid institution he is a former President.He is also a Director of the Montreal Sailors\u2019 Institute, and a past President of the St.Andrews Society.He: is connected officially with McGill University as a member of the Board of Governors, is a governor and ex- President of the Fraser Institute and a governor of the Montreal Numisatic and Antiquarian Society.He is a Director of the Bank of Montreal, the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., Dominion Coal Co., Dominion Bridge Co, the Northwest Land Company.and the London & Lancashire Life Assurance Company, Mr.Angus was married to Miss Mary Daniels in 1854 and they are the parents of nine children, Mr.Angus is a member of the St.James's and Mount Royal Clubs\u2014 Montreal; Forest & Stream Club, Dorval; Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club; Rideau Club, Ottawa; Toronto Club, Toronto, and Manitoba Club, Winnipeg, is also a Knight of Grace of the Order of St.John of Jerusalem, and is a Past Master of St.Paul Albert Joseph Brown, K.C.Mr.Albert Joseph Brown, K.C., the recently elected Batonnier of the Montreal Bar, whose picture The Standard has much pleasure in reproducing in the Connaught Art supplement, has shown by his work in the past that he is possessed of exceptional qualities as a Lawyer, and has earned distinction in his chosen profession.He is entitled to credit for a full share of the progressive methods through which during the past decade the profession has advanced.He was attracted to the legal profession from his early youth, and his enthusiasm has caused his rapid advancement.Albert Joseph Brown was born July 1861, at Windsor, P.Q., son of Shepard and Jennet (Shanks) Brown.Father was of Canadian birth and mother was from Scotland.The family of Brown can be traced back to the year 1649, in Massachusetts, U.S.Albert J.Brown received his education at St.Francis College, Richmond, P Q.; Gill Morin College, Quebec, and Mec- Montreal, University, where he Mr.Samuel H.Ewing.A busy career has been that of Mr.Samuel Hamilton Ewing, whose picture The Standard has pleasure in reproducing, but this and advancing years have brought no d\u2018minution in vigor, and he is still as active as the youngest man in Montreal.In fact, we might say, if Mr.Ewing missed a day down town or a board meeting, comment would be general.Montreal has a great regard for this gentleman, considering him as one of her foremost citizens, and a man who has added prestige to the commercial, public and charitable reputation of the Canadian metropolis.Mr.Ewing was born in Ireland in 1834, coming to Canada, with his father, in 1845.Hie first businesg venture was in the wholesale grocery business, and in the early 60%s he joined his father in a coffee and spice business, under the name of S.Ewing and Son.In the course of ttme Mr.Ewing, Sr.retired and the firm of S.H.& A.S.Ewinz was formed, which for many years continued to be the leading coffee and spice firm in the Province of Quebec.In the vear 1885 Mr.Ewing retirel from this firm and devoted the most of his time to the different matters he was interested in.Finally in 1897 Mr.Ewing was made senior partner in the present firm of S.H.Ewing & Sons, Coffees, Spices and Corks.In 1908, S.H.Ewing & Sons absorbed the old firm of S.H.& A.S.Ewing, which had been run by Messrs.Royal & Stuart Ewing for a few years after the death of their father, Mr.A.S.Ewing.The firm of S.HA Ewing & Sons are to-day by long odds the largest of their kind in the Province of Quebec and are trading from Newfoundland to Victoria.Mr.S.H.Ewing has always taken an active interest in mercantile matters.He is President of the Montreal Cottons, Ltd., a newly formed $10,000,- 000.00 concern, which under his management for several yearg back has prospered greatly, resulting in distribution of a share for share of stock in August of this year.He ig also President of the Birkbeck Co., of Toronto, the Levis Street Railway, Cornwall Street Railway, Vice-President of the Molson\u2019s Bank, Sun Life Assurance Co., Director in Crown Trusts Co., Il- linois Traction Co., Canada Accident Co., and many other concerns.Mr.Ewing for years took a deep interest in the Montreal General Hospital and up to a short time ago was treasurer of that institution.He, along with the late F.W.Thomas, on two different occasions, collected very large sums for the hospital.He is also a member of the Board of Trade, the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, Natural History Society, member of the St.James\u2019s and Canada Clubs, and a member of St.Andrew\u2019s Presbyterian Church.Life Governor of the Montreal General Hospital and Verdun Hospital, Mr.Ewing has never taken any active part in outdoor sports of any kind, but ig fond of music, particularly grand opera, and also is an admirer of fine pictures, of which he has several in his residence, \u201cSeaforth,\u201d Cote des Neiges Road, where he has lived s'nce 1868.He has always been a Conservative in politics and is a strong upholder of the National policy.+» v» Farquhar S.Maclennan, K.C.Farquhar Stuart Maclennan, K.C, received his preliminary education in the Williamstown High School, in the County of Glengarry, Ontario, and (n the Brantford Collegiate Institute and graduated in the Law Faculty or Mc- Gill University as a Bachelor of Civil Law.He was admitted to the Bar of Quebec in July, 1884, and became a Junior partner in the then well-known legal firm composed of Donald Maec- master, K.C., now a member of the British House of Commons for Chert- sey, Surrey; Mr.Justice Hutchinson and Mr.Recorder Weir.Mr.Maclennan was an alderman in the city of West- mount for two Years and filled the position of chairman of the Police Fire and Health Committee and of the Library Committee.Wihile occupying the latter position, the Children\u2019s Department of the Westmount Library was built and opened.Upon retiring from the Council he wag appointed attorney for the city of Wiestmount graduated in 1883, with the degree: of B.A.and in 1886, with the degree of B.C.L., winning the Elizabeth Torrance gold medal.In this latter year he became a partner in the firm of Benjamin & Brown of Montreal.In 1887, after the death of Mr.Benjamin, the firm of Chapleau Hall Ni- colls & Brown was formed.At the present date, Mr.Brown is the senior member of the legal firm of Brown Montgomery & McMichael.In 1889, Mr.Brown was appointed King's Counsel.On May 1st, 1911, he was made Batonnier, of the Montreal Bar and on June 21st, 1911, Batonnier of the Province of Quebec.Mr.Brown is a member of the following Clubs: The Mount Royal, the St.James, the Forest & Stream, the Royal Montreal Golf, the Montreal, and the Garrison of Quebec.He was married, December 27th, 1888 to Jose- phine Home of Quebec.which office he now fills.or.Maclennan is a lifelong ive and is president of the Liberal-Conservative Association \u201cHe was the first president of the West.mount Municipal Association ang is a prominent member of St Andrew's Church.He is the senior in the well.In politics Conserva- Hanson, of the well-known firm of Hanson Bros.is one of the more noticeable.Mr.Hanson stands out the more conspicuously because, amid the rough and tumble of a long career associated with numerous pioneer Canadian business enterprises, he has preserved the characteristics of the well-born English gentleman\u2014a fine courtesy, a quiet modesty, and a cultivated speech and manner that are quite as refreshing to Canadians as the breeze and bluff and hail-fellow- well-met of the average Canadian is to Englishmen.Of Cornish birth and education, Mr.Hanson came in early manhood to Canada, and got his bearings in the commercial activity of the Dominion by acting as the cashier of a wholesale dry goods house in London, Ont.London, however, could not hold him for long, and in 1883 we find him in Montreal, where he formed a partnership with his brother Charles, and established the house of Hanson Bros.This partnership was continued for ten years, when his brother Charles retired, and another brother, William, entered the firm, which from then till now has been constituted of Edward and William Hanson.;

President of The Canadian Car and Foundry Company and numerous other important corporations, is one of Canada\u2019s really big self-made men, and one whose success is well deserved as he was not born with the proverbial gold spoon in his mouth, but made his way in the world by his own ability, and he made a fortune for himself because he had tre ambition and the energy and acumen to do so.Receiving but an ordinary common school education in King's County, N.S., supplemented by a course in a business college in the Western States, he apparently had no show with the college-bred vouth, but his subsequent career proved that the higher education was not necessary to the welfare and success of a young man of determination, ambition, health and ability, and so Mr.Curry succeeded where many failed.Nathaniel Curry is a native of Kings County, Nova Scotia, where he was born March 26th, 1851, a son of Charles Curry, a farmer of Scotch-Irish descent and Eunice (Davidson) Curry of English ancestry.At the tender age of 15 young Curry started to learn the woodworking business (1866) and four years later he went to Boston, Mass, remaining there for a period of one year.He then crossed the continent seeking his fortune at a time when there were many hardships to endure and worked at his trade at Carson City, Nevada, later with the Virginia and Truckee Railroad as Assistant Foreman and Millwright in shops; this position he remained in until 1877, MR.NATHANIEL CURRY.tia, and founded the firm of Rhodes, Curry and Company, which has since become well known as leading woodworking manufacturers and building contractors all over the Dominion.In 1893 the company was incorporated and bought the car business of J.Harris and Co., and the business continued to expand.In 1909 together with the Dominion Car and Foundry Company, and the Canada Car Co.they were merged into the present corporation under the name of The Canadian Car and Foundry Company, the largest in the Dominion, and Mr.Curry was chosen as its President, which position he now holds.Mr.Curry is also President of Canadian Steel Foundries (formed this year).Mr, Curry was elected Vice-President of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association, 1910; President, October, 1911; is a director of The Canadian Light and Power Co., of The Bank of Nova Sco- tia, of the Montreal Trust Co.of the Canadian Coal and Coke Co., of the Travellers Life Insurance Company of Montreal, of the Maritime Coal Railway and Power Co, and various other corporations in the Dominion of Canada.Mr.Curry is a member of the Mount Royal, The Engineers, The Canada, The Royal, The Golf, The Cale- donian Curling Clubs of Montreal, of the St.Andrew\u2019s Society, and of The National Club of Toronto.He was married September 17, 1881, to Mary Hall, of Amherst, Nova Scotia, and they are the parents of five sons, Victor G.Curry, Eric M.Curry, Leon H.Curry, Ivan Curry (deceased), and when he went to Amherst, Nova Sco- Hon.C.J.Doherty.It is given to few lawyers to have had a successful career at the Bar, and then on the Bench, and to be able to retire while still but little more than fifty years of age, but that is what the Hon.C.J.Doherty has done.The fact that although he is a retired judge he is still in the prime of life explains the reason why, on taking leave of the Bench, he entered upon another career, becoming at a single bound, one of the leading men in the Conservative party.No man in recent years has caused so much comment and even criticism, on taking up politics, as did Mr.Doherty when he announced that instead of taking the part of an armchair critic according to the \u2018tradition of retired judges, he intended to join the colors for his party, and take a place in the firing line of the Opposition.Those who criticized his action were men who did not know him \u2014 men who pictured a judge as a kind of doddering individual, instead of the alert and virile personality that Mr.Doherty is.The Conservatives were frankly delighted to have a man of such ripe experience allied to such robust manhood ag his, and none were more delighted than Mr.R.IL.Borden, who, soon after Mr.Doherty took his seat in the ranks of the Opposition, select- N.N.R.Curry.amid a chorus of approval from colleagues and press alike.A Montrealer by birth, Mr.Doherty comes of \u2018an old Irish family.He graduated from the St.Mary's Jesuit College, took a law course with flying colors and a gold medal at Mc- Gill, and within eleven years was selected a member of the council of the Bar and created a Queen\u2019s Counsel, following this up by taking over the chair of Civil Law at McGill University.Four years after becoming a Q.C.he was raised to the Bench.During his legal career Mr.Doherty officiated in many of the most celebrated caseg of the day.Always a man of exceptional activity, Mr.Doherty has from the first been associated with every movement in Montreal making for the welfare of his Irish compatriots, and he was one of the delegates chosen to go to the Irish N'ational Convention in Dublin in 1895.At one time he held a commission ag captain in the 65th Regiment, and he served with that corps in the Rebellion in the North West Territories on 1885, A man of fine presence, great culture, and possessed of an attractive style of platform oratory, he seems destined to go far in national politics, especially as since he joined the Conservative party, that party has entered into power.el Trials by Water., Throwing people into the water to leit it determine their innocence or guilt was widely in use in the seventeenth centuries.A synod of West Prussia forbade its use in 1745.Sporadic cases, however, occurred during the whole nf the nineteenth century.Professor E.P.Evans wrote in 1895 of its use in Dalmatia, where in some districts it \u2018was still customary to throw all the women into the water on a specified day to see whether they would sink or swim.A rope was attached to each in order to save them from drowning those who proved their innocence by sinking, while those believed to be guilty because they floated were also rescued and made to promise to forsake their evil ways on pain of being stoned.A traveller has described a modern survival of the ordeal used in detecting thieves in Southern Russia.All the servants of the household where a robbery occurred were assembled, and as many balls of bread were made as there were suspected persons.A sorceress then addressed each one of the number, saying that the particular ball of bread which she held in her hand would sink or swim as the party addressed was guilty or innocent.She then flung it into the water.Boiling water was used in ordeals by the Persians, and it is referred to in the Avesta.It contained both the sacred elements, water and fire, suggesting the leuge past and the fiery doom of the future.In the simplest form of the hot-water test the bare arm was plunged to the wrist in trivial cases, and to the elbow in more serious trials, usually to bring out ed him as his right-hand henchman, rings or coins thrown therein._ Mr.George G.Foster, K.C.One of the best known legal authorities On the city of Montreal is Mr.George Green Foster, K.C., a partner in the firm of Foster, Martin, Mann, Mackinnon and Hackett.As an advocate Mr.Foster long since made his name; in fact, he is a K.C.dating back as far as 1896.He has made a special study of company law, and his advice has been sought from time to time in connection with some of the biggest undertakings launched in the city of Montreal.He himself has taken an active interest in financial and industrial affairs, holding among other positions, that of President of the St.Lawrence Power Company, director of the Eastern Townships Bank and of \u2018the Dominion Guarantee Company, vice-president of the George Hall Coal Company, director of the Aluminum Company of America, the Northern Aluminum Company of Canada, the Montreal Street Railway, the Canadian Light and Power Comp'any, the Imperial Realty Company of Ottawa, and the Johnston, Richardson Company, Limited, and vice-president of the Orford Mountain Railway Company.Taking a healthy interest in politics, Mr.Foster has proved a great strength to the Conservative party, not only as a platform speaker, but also in the work of organization.He has done particularly good work as the president of the Eastern Township Conservative Association.At the request of the party he came forward in opposition to the Hon.Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture in Brome County at the general election of 1896, and although he was defeated at that time, he came out of the fight with honors to himself and the party.Mr.Foster is a graduate of McGill, and a n\u2018ative of Knowiton, Que., where he has a country residence bearing the inviting name of Blarney Castle.He was married in 1896 to Mary Maud Buchanan, daughter of the late Mr.Justice Buchanan, of Montreal and he has one son and one daughter.li \u2014 Mr.D.Lorne McGibbon.There is no man in Montreal who has had a more meteoric career than Mr.D.Lorne McGibbon, An American by birth, he first became known on this side of the line as the manager of the Laurentide Pulp and Paper Company at Grand Mere.From this position he came to Montreal to take over the general managership of the Canadian Rubber Company of Montreal, a huge concern that was languishing somewhat, but which, under his direction, took on a wonderful new lease of life, and by absorbing other concerns in the same line, became one of the biggest rubber manufacturing plants in the world.His next success was in the Cobalt silver field, he becoming the president of one of the biggest wealth-pro- ducing mines of the wonderful group whose fame is world-wide.Since that time Mr.McGibbon with the cooperation of some of the brightest young business men in the city, has reorganized and assumed the control of many big enterprises, the group of which he is a member being known as the most aggressive and most successful business alliance in the metropolis of the Dominion.There was a time in Mr.McGibbon\u2019s early manhood when symptoms of tubercular trouble gave him great anxiety.He went away into the Adirondacks and averted the threatened trouble by means of the open air cure.Ever since then he has had a particularly sensitive heart for sufferers from what is now known as \u201cthe white plague,\u201d and has done much for them.His greatest effort in this direction has been in connection with the great sanatarium for consumptives which was recently opened at Ste.Agathe\u2014an institution brought into existence as a result of his initiative and generosity.Mr.McGibbon is greatly interested in every movement for the welfare of young men, and he was one of the largest contributors in the whirlwind campaign which made \u2018possible ithe building of three new Y.M.C.A.struc- tures in the city.7 x Sketches of Canada\u2019s Prominent and Successful Business Men who are Assisting To Make Montreal One of The World\u2019s Greatest Cities The Bank of Montreal opened for business on Monday, 3rd November, 1817, in premises in a building belong- in to the Armour Estate, situated on St.Paul Street, between St.Nicholas and St.Francois Xavier Streets, with a paid-up capital of $350,000.The first president was John Gray, and the first cashier was Robert Griffin.In the year 1819, the capital was increased to $650,000 and in the following year to $750,000.In 1829, the capital was $850,000; in 1841, $2,000,000: in 1845, $3,000,000; in 1855, $4,000,000; in 1860, $6,000,000; in 1873 $12,000,000; in 1903, $14,000 000; in 1905, $14,400,000.In the first full year (1819) of the Bank\u2019s operation, a dividend was paid at the rate of 8 per cent.per annum, and since then (with the exception of the years 1827 and 1828, when the Bank did not pay any dividend), the annual dividends have ranged from 6 per cent.to 16 per cent.(or say a dividend of 12 per cent.with a bonus of 4 per cent.), according to the earnings.But of late years 10 per cent.per annum has been the rate paid.After 8 per cent.had been paid as dividend in 1819, a balance of $4,168 remained on hand, and was laid aside as a REST.From that date of small beginnings the REST has steadily grown.In 1825 it was $30,780, going down to $12,064 in the following year, and then up again to $107,084 two years later; in 1830 it stood at $31,360.Five years later it stood at $80,660, reach- THE BANK OF MONTREAL.ing $197,828 in 1837; in 1840 it showed $89,480; in 1850, $120,192; in 1860, $740 - 000; in 1870 $3,000,000; in 1880, $5,000,- 000; in 1883, $5,750,000; in 1884, $6,000- 000; in 1900, $7,000,000; and now it stands at $12,000,000 and there are additional Undivided Profits amounting to $1,070,735.06.On the 1st January, 1858, the system of decimal currency was adopted in the Bank of Montreal, and since that date all monetary transactions have been recorded in the Bank\u2019s books in dollars and cents.Previous to that date, the Bank\u2019s books were kept in what was styled Halifax currency\u2014 pounds, shillings, and pence \u2014 the pound being of the value of $4.00.On the first of January, 1858 the Montreal Branch was established as a distinct and separate business from the Head Office, Mr.E.H.King being appointed as its first manager.In the year 1862, the designation of the Chief Oficer of the Bank was changed from Cashier to that of General Manager Mr.David Davidson was the first General Manager.In 1863 the Bank of Montreal was appointed Banker in Canada for the Canadian Government, and on 1st January, 1893, Mr.E.S.Clouston being general manager at the time, the Bank became their Financial Agent in Great Britain also.Arrangements are now being completed by which the Bank\u2019s Paid Up Capital will be increased to $16,000 - 000.THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA: Incorporated 1869

Arthur in 1873, from a painting by G.Kobeswein.(4) Prince Arthur in 1864, from a painting by A.Graefle.THE STANDARD, MONTREAL, CANADA.3% Mr.Edmund Arthur Robert, President of the Montreal Street Railway Company, and Vice-President of the Canadian Light and Power Company, who has come prominently to the front in industrial circles in Montreal within the last couple of years, was born in Beauharnois, Que., March 3, 1864, and he is, therefore, forty-seven years of age.His father was a French Huguenot and his mother Miss Roberts, a Scotch lady.He was educated at the Montreal High School and Montreal Business College, commencing his business career in the year 1881, when he entered the employ of the dry goods house now known as Greenshields, Limited.After nine years\u2019 experience in this business, he, together with his two brothers, took over the small woollen mills operated up to that time by his father, at Beauharnois, and it was due in a great measure to his business sagacity and energy that this small mill eventually grew into the Dominion Woollen Manufacturing Company, Limited, of which he became managing director.It was in connection with the development of the woollen enterprise that Mr.Robert first became associated in a commercial way with the late Wm.C.Mec- Intyre, who was later his partner in the Beauharnois canal scheme.Mr.Robert was always deeply interested in the development of water power, having taken a great interest in the water power used at Beauharnois, which was used in the operation of the mills there.Seeing the possibilities of future development, he, together with some associates, acquired a water power in the St.Lawrence river known as the Bisson Point power, and this may be considered Mr.Robert's MR.EDMUND ARTHUR ROBERT.first big venture in water power.This power was eventually sold to the St.Lawrence Light & Power Company, better known as the Chambly Company, and affiliated with the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company.It was out of this deal that the famous law suit between Robert and the Light, Heat & Power Company arose, in which law suit Mr.Robert was successful through every court in this country and also before the Privy Council in England.In the year 1901 he commenced negotiations with the Ottawa Government for a lease of the Beauharnois Canal for the purpose of developing power and transmitting it electrically to Montreal and the surrounding district.Negotiations for the lease of this property from the Government were carried on until the year 1907, when they were concluded.After obtaining this concession he formed the Canadian Light & Power Company, and in spite of the strongest opposition he succeeded in bringing this company to a successful issue, and in his position as vice-president and managing director he has been the guiding hand of this great enterprise.He is responsible for the formation of the syndicate which obtained the control of the Montreal Street Railway Company.Mr.Robert is a man of quiet demeanor and modest in his views.He is adverse to publicity regarding himself and his affairs, and for this reason he has not been more frequently heard of through the press.He is considered by his associates as a man of keen foresight, an ample supply of Scotch caution and unlimited energy.He is a great master of detail and in the handling of all his business affairs is said to take the deepest interest in everything, large or small], appertaining to the welfare of com- \u2018panies with which he is identified.Mr.A.R.Creelman.It was a brilliant stroke of business that the management of the Canadian Pacific Railway did when it pursuaded Mr.A.R.Creelman, K.C, to give up his lucrative law practice in Toronto and come to Montreal to take up the position of general counsel for the Company.Mr.Creelman came at a critical period in the history of the Company.He came when the many long years of preparation and of building were beginning to bear fruit\u2014 when Canada, newly awakened and self-conscious, had discarded its long clothes and had begun to enter upon its teens.The Camadian Pacific, having acquired its main stem, was beginning to branch out, and to burst into flower, and the beauty ofits blossoms and the lusciousmess of its fruit, was attracting the jealous attention not only of all the continent of America, but of Europe as well, .It has needed extraordinarily capable and far-seeing legal talent before, and it had got it; but now more than ever did it need a sane, conservative, judicial mind, allied with pres- science commensurate with that of the small group of men who had made \u2018the C.P.R.what it was.These qualities were found in Mr.Creelman, then a member of the firm of McCarthy, Osler, Hoskin & Crelel- man.It was in 1901 that Mr.Creel- man took up the position of general counsel for the Company, and the success with which he has carried out his duties since that time\u2014 duties that sometimes have involved millions of the Company\u2019s money, and \u2018the preparation of cases for argument before the highest tribunal of the Empire\u2014was attestied a short time ago, when Mr.Creelman was awarded the coveted distinction of being elected to the directorate of the C.P.R.Alhough Mr.Creelman was for over twenty years in the practice of law in the city of Toronto, he is not, ag many imagine, of Ontario birth.His native place is Richibucto, in New Brunswick.He was educated in the grammar school at that place, and at Chat- ham Academy, but he studied his law in Toronto.In the same year in which he entered the legal firm before mentioned, namely in 1878, he married Margaret Cummings, daughter of the Rev.John Jennings, D.D., of Toronto.Mr.Creelman never allowed himself to become entirely absorbed in the dry intricacies of the law, but took an active interest in many forms of sport, and was besides for four years in the Canadian militia.These outside interests he still preserves, and he is a member of the leading social and sporting clubs in Montreal, as well as in Toronto and Ottawa, f7 Refining Company grades, made entirely \u2014THE\u2014 Manufacturers of

wealthy.Looking back over his career, and regarding him now in the midst of his manifold activities, one can well understand his feelings.For if there is one man in Canada who ig living his life to the very full, who is expressing to the utmost the power and the inspiration that is in him, that man is Mr.M.J.O\u2019Brien.He is one of the sturdy characters who was educated in what Elbert Hubbard calls \u201cthe University of Hard Knocks,\u201d and who has lived to show that for a man of his particular type that university was the best possible one from which he could learn.He comes of Irish parentage, but he is Canadian born, Antigonish County in Nova Scotia, that little Province which has produced the new Premier, being the place where he first saw the light, now more than half a century ago.He had to earn his own living almost from the beginning, and while many boys were yet at school he was Lard at work in the humblest of capacities on the Intercolonial Railway.He gradually worked his way up to the position of timekeeper, then to foreman, and later to walking boss.ilere he got a fine experience in the principles of railway construction \u2014 experience which he afterwards put to good use by becoming a railway contractor.His first big undertaking on his own account was the construction of a section of the Canadian Pacifie Railway between Montreal and Ottawa.When he took this contract he moved permanently from Nova Scotia to Ontario, making hig home at Renfrew, and there his home still is, though his working headquarters are at Montreal.Since that first contract he has been connected with the building of practically every piece of railway of importance in the Dominion.He as- Lieut.-Col.Charles Allan President and Managing Director tt the Smart

Nipissing district; the Baie Des Chaleurs Railway in the extreme East of the Dominion; \u2018the Central Counties Railway in Eastern Ontario; the Crows Nest Pass branch of the Canadian Pacific in British Columbia; the Midland, the Richmond and the Inverness, and part of the Halifax and South Western Railways in Nova Scotia; the La Tuque branch of the Quebec and Lake St.John Railway; a big section of the Canadian Northern in the Province of Quebec, and Quebec, Montreal and Southern Railway.In the building of the National Transcontinental he has taken such a large part that his contracts run into some fifteen million dollars.It will be seen from the above that Mr.O\u2019Brien has been in the very forefront of the pioneers in the development of this country, and has thus done splendid service to Canada by the opening of the wilderness to civilization.Men with his capabilities for organization and execution, his genius for gigantic tasks, and his sincerity in carrying them out, are men cf whom the Dominion may well be proud.They personify in a superlative degree the abounding vitality, the buoyant hope, and the largeness of vision which are this young nation\u2019s salient characteristic.But the carrying out of these big contracts have formed but a part of the development work in which Mr.O\u2019Brien has figured.He has done much in the development of the lurnber industry, and he was one of the first to realize the significance of the discoveries of silver in Cobalt.He got in on the ground floor there, and is owner of the O\u2019Brien Mine.As showing how wide ig the range of Mr.O\u2019Brien\u2019s vision it may be mentioned that he is now the active president of a company which is building a railway to develop the Gaspe Peninsula, while 3,000 miles west of
