Weather that causes rheumatism, the

CAMPBELL'S CAREER,
Something About Hon, G. P. Gra.-
ham's New Deputy Minister,
In the .appointanent of Mr. Archie
bald W. Campbell as Deputy Minis-
ter of Railways for Canada, Hon.
G. P. Graham . has not only -called
an. old friend into closer relation to
himself but has promoted an .all'
round good fellow. • When the Whit-
ney administration carne into power
there were some who thought that in
a department involving the patronage
and expenditure of , that of Public
Works, Iron. Dr. Reaume would want
a deputy of his •. own appointment.
He decided othewise, however, and
Minister and deputy got along finely
together.
The course ., cif . Mr. Campbell has
been one of .gradual advancement all
along the liririe. He- hails originally.
from a Scotch settlement in the heart
of West Middlesex, and having left
the farm to make himself a civil
engineer, it was, not long` before he
was city engineer of the small but
wide-awake. city of. 'St. Thomas. Dee

sentfor;
But Mr. Campbell didn't He was
He was one'of a group of Western
Ontario men who took a deep interest
in the good roade movement. Their
organ was The Municipal World; of '
St. Thomas, for which . Mr; Campbell
wrote editorials. Fourteen or fifteen
years ago some of the Liberals of
West Middlesex began to talk of run-
ning
their native son, Archie Camp-
bell, for the Legislature as an inde-
pendent Liberal on the good roads
platform. The member for the rid-
ing : at that time was Hon. G. W.
Ross, who was not then' but expected
to be some day, Premier of Ontario.
Campbell did •not run as an inde-
pendent Liberal
ndependentLiberal for a very good rea-•
son. The Ontario Government ',sud-
denly,
sud-denly discovered . that it was abso-
lutely necessary to the well-being of
the province that it . should have 'a
Good. Roads Commissioner, and Mr.
Campbell was the. man for the job.
Mr. • Campbell thus came to Toronto
and at once commenced an educa-
tional campaign. He enlisted on his
staff without fee every reporter who
stuck his nose into .the Parliament
buildings. He was a nice, approach-
able fellow fond of a good story, and
whenever newspaper a n wspape man was
short of a story, Mr. Campbell would
.help him .out with an item about the
progress of the roads movement in
some section of the province. ' Within.
a._ year _ thce--readers-- of-..the--Tororxto--
papers had learned more about good
roads than they ever knew in their
lives before. Then, a vacancy occur-
ing, Mr. Campbell was jumped to
the post of Deputy Minister with
jurisdiction over the colonization

ment.aided roads being. constructed
under the county system devised by
him.
Roads for ordinary vehicles -would
perhaps have remained Mr. CAmp
bell's chief object in life bad not the
Ross Government eight years ago not
decided to build a Government rail-
road and open up the Temiskaming
region. That railroad, originally
planned merely as a jerk -water line
to move lumber and produce outof
the district, to the astonishment of
the world opened up one of the rich-
est silver regions that the world pos-
sesses. Naturally Mr. Campbell as
deputy of the department in charge '
of the construction of the railroad,
picked up a good deal of information
about the art of building roads in
new territories.
Shortly after Mr. Campbell came
to Toronto to live Mr. G. P. Graham
was elected to the• Legislature from
Brockville, and during the sessions
of the House a fast friendship sprang
up between thein. They used to live
at the same hotel and talk over
things together. Mr. Graham had no
idea at the time that within a de-
cade or so the whirligig of time
would make him Minister of Railways
of Canada, A8 matters have tntrned
