Tele- | graph Company covers a period of | precisely forty years, the company | having been organized in 1881, when | it leased the lines of the old Mont- real and Dominion Telegraph Co's! | and merged them into one system. | From that time on the G.N.W. grew | | steadily, and in correspondence with | the growth of the country, spreading cut and extending its lines until they | covered practically all Eastern: Can- | | ada with veritable network, while it { mater increased its foothold in | {the w i In i control of the G.N.W. was | acquired by the Canadian Northern | | Railway, and the railway"s already | extensive commercial telegraph. sys- | | item being combined with that of the G.N.W., the latter became: for the first time a practically Dominion: wide organization. In 1918 the Can- adian Northern Railway System, with the G.N.W. and its other subsidiary | Co's, came (nto the Dominion Government, followed sub- | sequently by the Grand Trunk Paci- | fic Railway, when the two great sys- | tems, together with the National | Transcontinental Railway were co-| ordinated. The telegraph lines of the | National Transcontinental Railway | were placed under the control of the | G.N.W. and now arrangements have been completed for the co-ordination with the G.N.W. and its associated lines of the telegraph lines of the Grand Trunk Pacific. The first general manager of the G.N.W. was H. P. Dwight, who held | the position until 1903--that is, for | twenty-two years-- when he made | way for Isaac. McMichael, a Canad- | 1an by birth, who had won a name | for himself in the telegraph world | died in 1911, and was succeeded by | Geo. D. Perry, who, entering the ser- | had worked his way up by sheer abi- | lity and energy to the double posi- | tion of secretary-treasurer. Mr. Perry | continues with the ney national sys- | tem as general manager, the other | principal officials being A. C. Mec-! Connell, secretary and auditor; D. E. | Henry, treasurer; Chas. E.
