It was their first view of the out of door world, and being night time, all they could see was one great eye looking at them. The two eyes smiled at the one eye, and the one eye winked at the two eyes, as if saying, 'Young fellow, you have lots to see." To- night these same two eyes look out of a window and see the one eye of the Duluth lighthouse winking at him. with a knowing wink which seems to say, "Well, old boy, you and I have hdd a bully good time and we know some things don't we?" Between these two lighthouses is contained the life and career of Trevanion Wil- ham Hugo, better known in King- mend mn | | i i { . TREVANION WILLIAM HUGO ton as "Baldy." . Trevanion Hugo's family arrived in Kingston when he was about six years old, so that, although not actually born here, his education and associations with the Limestone City entitle him to be called a King- stonian. Hig family lived on Earl His father, Nicholas Hugo, John Cownter, Captain Chrysler, and the Kingston Shipbuilding Yard, be- sides going up to the Bay of Quinte When the time came for the ycung ! lad to be educated a family confer- ence was héld. John Bennett Marks, his uncle, who was attached to the British navy, and his aunt Selina, wife of Francis Brockhill Spilsbury, . -- _ passed through the then new Well: and canal, being the 'first large ves- | at times to build boats. fof trouble, so without amy prened the steamer 'East' sailing between Montreal and Chicago, He sailed on several vessels and eventuelly, as chief engineer, went to Owen Sognd to 'put the engines into a' steamer building there called the "City of Owen Sound." While in Owen Sound he did some writing for the Times of that city. One article which he wrote calling attention to the mil- liong of dollars of steel rails which were being left to rust at Fort Wil- liam. "The editor of the Times, be- ingja Conservative, made the most of this, and this started the "steel rail scandal" which was prominent in the politics of that day. During the twelfth year df nis sail- ing career Mr. Hugo made a men:- orable trip on the steamer "Cam- pania," which came out from Lon- don, England, to engage in the lake traffic. The ship was cut in two por- tions at Montreal and towed throuzh the canals and" river.

It had to be raised heforgale voyage to Kingston could proceed. Still being towed, the vessel ran into one of Lake Ontario's most vicious storms but finally reached Port Dl- housie, where the two parts were riveted together. The ship then sel to do so, raced one of the crack river tugs up the Detroit river to Lake Huron and reached Colling- wood without further adventure. When Owen Sound was reached it was decided to lay up for the winter. At the same time Mr. Hugo laid up all his aspirationsito remain in the service, and in the winter of 1881-1882 he secured a shore posi- tion with the Consolidated Elevator Company. He has been with this company ever since, and has watched its growth from |one 'elevator with a capacity of ene million bushels, to eight withyover elevemgnilljondbush- els of storage. He hal seen Che gle- vator capacity of Duluth grow to thirty-seven million bushels, its grain shipment$#¥rom four million bushels to 145,185,000, its iron ore ship- ments from nothing to<hirty million tons, and its population from 5.000 inhabitants and eighty saloons' to 100,000 and no saloons, during his stay in that city.
