His father was possessed of {more than the average means, but {before his death, which occurred when ithe present head of the family was {a boy of fifteen years, he lost all of his money, and thus compelled his son to depend upon himself This enforced independence brought out all there was in him. He saved and worked, worked and saved, and at a comparatively early age built a {lumber trust on the old-fashioned lines from a tiny sawmill on the Ottawa River.
