During the hard times of 1874 to 1879 he bought timber limits at auction "right and left" when other limit holders lost courage, and they were worth five times what he paid; "In 1881 he threw himself into the building of the Canada Atlantic and in a very short time the road was constructed and at once took a first place amongst Canadian railways", and those who knew him best said the Parry Sound Railway would be in complete running order from the Sound inside of three years. | Ottawa Journal 1893-11-03(Also as reprinted in the Renfrew Mercury; the plac...) |
