Sir WMianitUackei'izie Was Born In
Kirlifeid, Ont.,' Seventy -Five Years.
Ago ---Was School, Teacher Before
He Went Ont West -. With Sir
Donald Mann, Built Canadian
Northern Railway..
'The passing of Sir William re-
moves one of the dominant figures of
the period in Canadian history, -which
was remarkable for the rapidity of
its railroad expansion and' the'conse-
quent opening up of vast areas of vir-
gin territory in Western Canada, He
was the financier of the only railway
building partnership which ever cons
ceived, constructed and owned a
transcontinental railroad, To the
task of the building of the Canadian
Northern Railway he brought an ex-
traordinary ability to initiate, exe-
cute and carry to a ,successful con-
clusion projects •of great magnitude.
Sir William Mackenzie was born
• iri Kirkfield, Qat., on October 30,
1849, He was the son of John and
Mary Mackenzie, both natives of
Scotland He neceived his education
in the public school of the village
and the grammar school of Lindsay.
Hie, first vocation was that of
school teacher, but he left the schooi-
•house. ;for ,,rail,•road construction in
187 1, after . securing a contract for
a section, of. the Victoria Railway,
which was•1p.,ter merged with the Mk':
land ,Rahway, a division of the Grsuse.
Trunk ,SYstem. He continued this
work 'for the, next ,ten years, durin;,
which period he built the Tonnes
and Nipissing line, which later be-
came a part 'of the Midland' Railway
and the Credit Valley Railway, which
ws absorbed by the Canadian Pacific
Railway. '
On completion of these lines he
went to the West under contract
with the Canadian Paolflc Railway,
which had commenced work upon the
Rocky Mountain section of its great
transcontinental system. His con-
tracts kept him in the West until
1886, when the firm of Mackenzie &.
Mann was established. `
Sir William Mackenzie and Sir
Donald Mann first met in the spring.
of 1.884, Sir Donald was working for
the Canadian Pacific Railway near
the town of Kicking Horse Lake, and
Sir William on sawmills for the same
employer.• The first contraot of the
firm which was' to establish an in-
ternational •reputation was the build-
ing -of 'a 'short line for the Canadian
Pacific Railway, through the State of
Maine.
By 1892'•the firm, with the assist-
ance of H. S. Holt and James Ross
of Montreal, had constructed lines
from Calgary to Edmonton, and from
Calgary to Macleod. When these
lines were finished the firm for a
time- ceased to operate.
Sir Williani-had become' interested
fn electric railways and in power de-
.velopment, and had gone East to
operate the franchise of the Toronto
Street Railway. Shortly after his re-
turn to Ontario he became ope of the
promoters of similar enterprises in
South America,
Under Sir William's guidance, the
interests which had secured the To-
ronto; Street Railway franchise sub-
sequently acquired the Toronto &
& Mimic(), the Toronto & Searboro'
and the Metropolitan electric lines,
which were consolidated into the
Toronto & York Radial Railway.
The holdings ca the Brazilian com-
pany are the Sao Paulo Tramway,
Light and Power Co., the Rio de
Janeiro Tramway, Light and Power
Co. and the Sao Paulo Electric Co.
Sir William, who was chairman of
the board, was' associated with Dr.
Pearson` in the acquisition of these
valuable franchises.
The firm was next heard of when'
it acquired some railroad charters
in the• Province of Manitoba and pro-
eded to build the . Lake Manitoba
ailwe#ar and Canal In 1899 the
anadian Northern Railway came
to esistence, and in 1901 the com-
any obtained control of the Mani -
ba" lines of the Northern Pacific
aiiw5y:" By January, 1902, it had
mpleted its Line ,between Winnipeg
d Wort Arthur.
The transcontinental system was
ithed with rapidity. In 1901-2 the
roes Bay ,Railway, from Parry
ound to the Canada Atlantic Rail -
ay, which later became the. Grand
-fink Railway; was built. The fol- `
'wing year the Great Northern Rall -
ay of Canada and Chateauguay &
ithern• Railway of Quebec„ both
all 'mileage in the Province of Que-
c, were acquired and renamed the
nadian Northern eQuebec Railway,
1906 the Canadian Northern main
e was -extended to..Ir7dinonton; a
ar .latch 'a_ line between Winnipeg
d:. Prince, Albert liras completed;
d in the same year the Qu, Appelie,
ng Lake & Saskatchewan -,Railway
s acquired.
Other transactions of 1908 were
els which brought• the Niagara, St.
tharines '& Toronto .and the Que-
c & Lake St.. John Railways into
system. This was followed by
construction of the' Toronto to
tawa line during 1909-18 and the
luth, Winnipeg & Pacific Railway.
Sir William eailned the reputation
being one of the foremost railroad
lders of the world. He and his
Pax
threw open to cultivation'
d settlement thousands of acres of
d in Western Canada, In 1911 he
s rewarded With a Knighthood?,
With Lady Mackenzie, he was pre -
ted to- the late King Edward VII.
ale 08;and to King George and
en Mary in ;1911. He married
rgaret Merry;*-daug1 ter of. John
