Charles Whitehead, pioneer railroad
contractor, one of the builders of
Manitoba, is dead. He died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. P, C. Mitchell,
1712 Rosser avenue, Brandon on Mon-
day night (March 10th). Death carte as
a release, Mr. Whitehead having been
since last December. it became appar-
ent on Saturday that he was sinking
fast and he slept peacefully away. With
him to the end were his immediate re-
latives. Mr. Whitehead was born In
England and was in his eighty-third
year. The surviving members of his
immediate family are, his wife, his dau-
ghter, Mrs. P. C, Mitchell, and his son
Mr. J. B. Whitehead, managing direc-
tor of the Brandon Sun.
The story of Mr, Whiteltead's
a marvelous romance. He cam

tive
engine built by George Stephen-
son. The Rocket was known as
No. One of the Stockton and Darling-
ton Railway, and was built in 1825.
Just as the father had a share
introducing the first locomotive
England, so it was very fitting that
son 'Charles] should bring the
locomotive into Winnipeg on O
Sth, 1877, introducing the
horse" to the beloved prairies
he made his home.

i the Free Pres on Monday, October 9th,
1877.
"At an early hour this morning
wild, unearthly shrieks, from up the
river, announced the coming of the
1 steamer Selkirk, with the first locomo-
tive ever brought into Manitoba, and
about nine o'clock the boat steamed
past the Assinibolne. A large crowd
of people collected on the river banks,
and as the steamer swept down past
the city the mill. whistles blew fur-
iously, and bells rang out to welcome
the arrivel of the iron horse. By this
time a concourse had assembled at
' number six: warehouse, where the
boat landed, and in the crowd were to
be noticed people of the many different
nationalities represented in the Prair-
ie Provincies.
"The Selkirk was handsomely dec-
orated for the occasion with Union
Jack, Stars and Stripes, banners with
the familiar'5'C. P. R.' and her own
bunting, and with the barge conveying
the locomotive and cars ahead of her
also gaily decorated with flags and
evergreens, and a barge laden with rail-
way ties on each side, presented a novel
spctacle. The whistles of the boat and
the locomotive continued shrieking; the
i r
mill whistles Joined in the chorus; us, the
bells clanged; a young lady Miss Racine
pulling manfully at the ropes; and the
continuous noise and din proclaimed
loudly that the iron horse had arrived
at last. Shortly after landing three
cheers were givein for Jos. Whitehead;
and in a few minutes a crowd swarmed
on board and examined :the engine
most minutely. The caboose and flat
cars, which also came in for their
share of attention, each bore the name
'Canadian Pacific' in white letters. Af-
ter remaining a couple of hours, during
which she was visited by many hun-
dreds, the Selkirk steamed to a point
below Paint Douglas ferry where a
track had been laid to Ilse water's edge,
on which it is intended to run the
engine this afternoon."

An even more memorable and his-
toric, event in the life of Mr. Charles
Whitehead, was the purchase of the
first parcel 'of land from the C. P. R.
This agreement is docketed "Contract
No, 1." in the tiles of the company.
The date is 23rd ctober, 1881, The
consideration was 52.50 an acre. This
was the purchase of the first acre sold
out of the twenty-five million that were
granted to the road by the Government.
'1Iiis was followed by the erection of
ill., first house, thirty-seven vears ago.
When .1l•. Charles Whitehead came
up to the Assltiboine River with a
cargo of lumber, there was no Brandon.
Grand Valley was the settlement, sever-
al miles East of the prevent city limits.
He built an office and dwelling and op-
ened a lumber office with Frank Myers
as his partner. Soon afterwards T. M.
Daly came along looking for a place to
practice Law. 1 -le hung out Isis shingle
t.ver the hospitable door. This was
the year of the beginning of the Red
River boom and in a few weeks after
the erection of the first shack, people
came flocking in. Mr, A. i , Fraser re-
calls with vivid interest the first day he
met Mr. Whitehead in the fall of '81,
and he was more or less intimately as-
sociated w•ith•jim for many years,

Later on Mr. Whithead engaged in
farming. 1-1e did not wait for the driv-
ing of the stakes but took preliminary
possession of the land he had Selected
and made the necessary application to
safeguard his future rights. This was
the land he later secured by purchase
under "Contract No. 1," and it was
defined as "3,10, 19, WI," when the
survey was finally completed by. A M.
Darling, D. L. S., who describes it in
his "survey notes," written early in
October, 1881, as "good grass land,
with some timber, in a district water-
ed by the Assiniboine." On this land
Mr. Whitehead erected a 44,000 house.
