The Uncrowned t'zar of Newfoundland. -
Tbe largest laudowner iD the world, 4 short tune ago, was Robert O. ipteid,
the Csar of -Newfoundland% who owned one-setth a the island which is nearly us
largo as England, and held the welfare of the colony with its two hundred thousand
mts3,, in the hollow of his hand. A moat remarkably and romantic story is the
of this Luau of Monte Cristo dreams. Unparalleled. eunecssions. and u1011.
°polies came to him from a People who practically mortgaged their island for bis
ready money and help in hours of need. and In Creug111:1011 4.11 111.5 bib% ing the country
in its emergency they made him an uncrowned autscrat.
Born in Coupar, Angus, Scotland, sixty-three years ago, lit. stut ea.& young
man to Australia in the guld-feyer days, and while there built 44otne public worka
and acquired the foundatiuu of his knowledge of constructing and contracting
which led tci his great fortune. lu 1S:1 he came to .kinerica and made his first
hit in engineering work with his splendid bridge over the Niagara river. Then
Ile bridged the Rio Grande and won a tuitional reputation for a long string of other
engineering triumphs. Bold. audacions and resourceful. he performed impossible
work with a certainty and ease that were appalling. He went into railroad work
and whatever his hand touched blossomed into success. One of the most difficult
sections of the Canadian Pacific Railway was entrusted. to him. and the obstacles
that Nature had put in his way were brushed aside is if they were cobwebs.
in 1890 came the dawn of his greatest success.. Newfoundland was nearly
bankrupt. This colony with ambition wa.s struggling with political corruption
complicated, with chaotic chicanery and mismanagement. The government was
crying fur a railroad -steel tracks through the wilderness. They. made a proposi-
tion to Reid to build 200 miles; this he did and did it well. Three yeum later they
ogled on bun again for more building; they hitd little money hut they had land
privileges, conceations, franchises. rights and inonopolies-diese were ph0ced on
a silver platter which tbey implored Reid to accept. In later ernergincies\he
peatedly came to their rescue till the books of his wealth showed to his credit'7,1X.M.
