�'f r nom• .w,. •�?.?:'&
eorge Munro, pioneer track layer of the Canadian .Pacific Railway,
V received birthday congratulations on May 21 from Mr. E. W. Beatty,
during the latter'e recent visit in Vancouver, This meeting between one of
the oldest employees and the executive head of the Canadian Pacific also
marked the forty-ninth annivoreary Of the turning of the first cod on
construotien at Fort William in 1876, an event at which nears° Munro was
present.
Another interesting co -incident° Aa connection with the meeting is the
fact that the B, S, Quebec, which carried the handful 65 constrtictton men
including Mr. Munro, from Sarnia to Fort 'William, in May 1376, was owned
and operated by the Beatty Stettin:lap Lino, of which Mr. Beatty's father,
the late Mr. Henry Beatty, was president.
In 1881 when construction was l °gun on the last lap of the company's
tines between Yale, B. C, and the Coast, Mr. Munro was given charge of
track laying at Emery, B. C. and when the last and famous 'gold eplke'
was driven at Cralgellaohte by Lord Strathcona in 1886 he took possession
of the steel spike which replaced the gold one and after treasuring it for
the past 30 years as a keepsake presented it to Mr, 73eatty.
