121. USQUE AD MARE - A History Of The Canadian Coast Guard And Marine Services
     of the humming telegraph wires which lined the railway tracks from the formation of the greatest Department in the history of Canadian civil administration.  
     http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/usque-ad-mare/chapter03-03_e.htm
     
     Extractions: by Thomas E. Appleton On May 20, 1879, the Department of Railways and Canals came into being under the charge of the Hon. Charles Tupper who as premier of Nova Scotia, and one of the Fathers of Confederation, had led his Province into the Dominion of Canada. He became Minister of Works in the Dominion Government in 1878 prior to the division of that Department into the two portfolios of Works, and Railways and Canals, respectively. Later to be raised to the baronetcy, he would become Prime Minister of Canada for a period in 1896, and his second son, Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, would be Minister of Marine and Fisheries from 1888 to 1894. In making this separation of responsibilities, the government recognized a broad and rapidly growing divergence between the old assets of roads, bridges and buildings, and the coming business of transportation, essential to the new Canada, which now required a fresh approach. In the years succeeding Confederation, the vision of A Mari Usque ad mare was closely connected with completion of the trans-continental railway, and the main task of the new Department was to administer the legislative action of government, and to supervise the arrangements for construction of the Canadian Pacific line, which would be completed with the driving of the last spike at Craigellachie in 1885. At the same time, the canal system of the country was a highway in itself and, if somewhat behind the iron road in the economic priorities of the day, it was the means of carrying the growing traffic of the Great Lakes basin as, with the help of the railways yet to come, it would be for the wheat lands of the West.

     http://www.city.north-bay.on.ca/history/history_summary.htm
     
     Extractions: Leisure Guide: ... Summary North Bay History Summary The History of North Bay In 1882, the train reached the north bay of Nipissing, the area we now call "North Bay". On the train, a passenger by the name of John Ferguson, disembarked, looked around, and decided that the area held promise. He constructed a log cabin, became the first postmaster for the area, and purchased 288 acres of the land which now makes up North Bay's downtown core. Within a year, John Ferguson had brought his new bride to the area and began to have a large framed home constructed in what was the central area to North Bay. As settlers began to arrive to North Bay, as the train began to run more frequently, and as the lumber began to escalate in the area, North Bay was soon incorporated as a town in 1891. The first mayor of North Bay was John Bourke. Not only did he have the position as mayor, but his Sawmill supplied North Bay with the necessary electricity until he sold the company to North Bay Light Heat and Power in 1904. Other notable figures were J.W. Richardson, John Deegan, Robert Rankin, and David Purvis. Through their efforts, the growth and beautification of the town was carried out. Sitting on school boards, town council, or the Board of Trade, each of these men played more than one role in North Bay, becoming figureheads within the community.

128. Retracing The Route To Freedom
     To draw attention to the Park Service's efforts to commemorate the Underground Railroad, Anthony Cohen traveled 1 500 miles from Maryland to canada, following in the footsteps of escaping slaves.

     Extractions: To draw attention to the Park Service's efforts to commemorate the Underground Railroad, Anthony Cohen traveled 1,500 miles from Maryland to Canada, following in the footsteps of escaping slaves. L AST SPRING, Anthony Cohen embarked on a two-month journey from Sandy Spring, Maryland, to Amherstburg, Ontario, to re-create history. The great-grandson of a slave, Cohen followed a route on the Underground Railroad used by fugitive slaves more than 130 years ago. Traveling on foot and by rail, boat, and reach Amherstburg, Cohen ended his 1,500-mile journey July 6. His mission was to generate interest in establishing a national park site to commemorate the Underground Railroad and to gather information about this clandestine, organized system of escape that could not be gleaned from history books. The Underground Railroad, the most dramatic nonviolent protest against slavery in the United States, began in the colonial era and reached its peak between 1830 and 1865. An estimated 30,000 to 100,000 slaves used the "railroad" to get to Canada; many others escaped to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. Cohen usually walked ten to 25 miles each of the days he traveled on foot. He identified many sites, including some that were not highlighted in a National Park Service (NPS) study released in February. In 1990, Congress directed the Park Service to do the study, which outlines six concepts for preserving ad interpreting the Underground Railroad, among them establishing a monument, a research center, or a national historic trail.

136. The Canadian Pacific Railway
     Page. The Canadian Pacific railway (CPR). In 1881, the Canadian Pacific railway finally began building the transcontinental railway.  
     http://www.eidnet.org/local/aqueduct/cprcpr.htm
     
     Extractions: Index site for those who are lost... I n 1881, the Canadian Pacific Railway finally began building the transcontinental railway. The CPR received $25 million and 25 million acres of land in exchange for building the railway through various geographical areas such as muskeg, the Rocky Canadian Shield, the long prairie stretch and a treacherous mountain pass. T he CPR received their land by choosing sections of land on either side of the main railway. The result was a checker-board pattern of CPR owned land. It then sold the undeveloped land to settlers. This system worked well until the CPR encountered the bone-dry lands of Southern Sasketchewan and Alberta. They did not want to saddle themselves with land that would not be profitable. However, William Pearce of the Department of the Interior, and J.S. Dennis of the Government of the Northwest Territories convinced the railway that the land would be fruitful. The CPR wanted to make a profit for itself and its investors, so they decided to develop the area. That way, they could not only sell the land, but increase the traffic along its line. As a local saying went, there was "not enough revenue to pay for the axle grease from Medicine Hat to Calgary". A s final payment for building the railroad, the CPR received a 3 million acre block of land between the west of Calgary and west of Medicine Hat. They divided the 3 million acre block into 3 sections, the Western, Central, and Eastern in 1910.
