�LAKEHEAD UNIVERSIJl
Corrrnents on Financial Report
for the Year Ended April 30. 1972

General
The fiscal year .of Ontario universities was changed to April 30th commencing
in 1972; therefore, no comparative figures have been incorporated in the reports.

I

Operating
Due in part to the change of year end and seeing the possibility of future
deficits, the University adopted a pol icy of budgeting for a 22 month period,
July 1, 1971 to Apri I 30, 1973. It was estimated that a sizeable deficit would
occur in the year ending April 30, 1973 (see budget page 11); therefore, we
budgeted for an excess of income over expenditures of approximatel_y $560,000 to
be- appropriated for future years. Our financial statements show an appropriation
of $596,704.
Capital and Development Fund

(

The two major capital projects consisted of the additions to the Athletic
complex and the construction of an academic building. The total assets of the
university increased by $4,822,468 during the period and unexpended capital funds
increased by $249,000. This increase was made up primarily of development
fund receipts and interest earned on investments. The supporting schedule of
"Commitment on Unexpended Capital Funds" ·(Page 13) shows that an estimated free
balance of $374,000 could result at April 30, 1973.
Scholarship Fund
No .additional endowment funds were received during the period, but we were
able to increase our total fund by way of changes in our investment pol icy. The
increase in expendable funds amounted to $5,152.

1.

Debentures Payable
The debentures payable balance of $28,660,545 represents debentures issued
to the Ontario Universities Capital Aid Corporation.
The debentures are redeemable over a thirty year period from date of issue
through blended payments of principal and interest at rates which vary
from 5½% to 8½%. As the payments of principal and interest fal I due,
the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities is granting funds to

�1892
FORT WILLIAM BECOMES A TOWN

With the arrival of the first train at Fort William, in the year
1877, a new page in the already co1ourful history of this city
was written.
Although only a handful of the descendants of the once
great fur-trading group remained here, the fine geographical
location of Fort William had destined it to become a great port
and trans-shipping point.
People began to arrive, and by 1892 the population had
grown to 1,980. The statutes of Ontario require a locality to
have a population of 2,000 in order that it may be incorporated
a "Town." However, the stalwarts of the village of Fort William
headed by such men as John McKellar, R. E. Reece, H. Sellers,
S. Stevens, Jas. Hammond, John Cooper, and others, were determined that they would make their home a "Town" this year,
and the word was passed around to search the highways and
byways. The effort was not fruitless, and from nowhere were
spirited twenty more "residents" of Fort William.
Incorporation proceedings were instituted and in 1892
Fort William held its first elections as a fully qualified Town.
Some 315 cast their ballots, and with the magnificent vote of 165
John McKellar was elected Fort William's first Mayor. Others
elected as councillors were R. Reese, H. Sellers, J. Morton,
S. Stevens, J. O'Hagan, R. J. Armstrong, J. Hammond, and John
Armstrong.
Things started to hum, and in a short time the Fort William
Town Hall, incorporating the Telephone Exchange, Fire Hall
and Jail, was built at a cost of $13,000.
FORT WILLIAM WAS ON THE MARCH !

�1903
FORT WILLIAM BUILDS A
NEW CITY HALL
Excerpt from Fort William Times-Journal
March 10, 1903.

"Fire at 3:30 a.m. completely destroyed
the Town Hall, and for a time the entire
block between Donald Street and Victoria
Ave. was threatened ... It was impossible
to save a single thing in the Hall as it
went up like tinder. Officer Dodds (later
Police Chief) hurried from his beat
and carried out a prisoner whom he
had put in the cells, bearing him out
through a blinding volume of smoke."
Thus it was that the citizens of Fort
William suffered the loss of their first Civic
endeavour.
However, the people of those days,
hardy pioneer stock, were not easily discouraged by setbacks.

OUR FIRST TOWN HALL
Destroy,ed by Fire 1903

Like a mighty phoenix, rising from the ashes of their former centre of civic government,
rose the beautiful and ambitious City Hall that the citizens of Fort William enjoy today.
From another excerpt of the Fort William Daily Times-Journal dated October 12, 1903.
later, the following appeared.

"Arrangements have been completed for
new City Hall on Thanksgiving Day, October
Meet at Central School at 1:30 p.m. and march
by the Citizens' Band, followed by the Mayor
Teachers and Pupils.

Just seven months

the ceremony of laying the Corner Stone of the
15, 1903. The programme will be as follows:
to the City Haff. The procession will be headed
and Town Council, Civic Authorities, Clergy,

At the City Hall, documents that are put inside the corner stone will contain a Voters' List,
current newspapers, names of all the officers of the town, coins, etc."

It was well laid, and can be seen to this

FORT WILLIAM WAS PREPARING ITSELF FOR CITYHOOD !

�1907
FORT WILLIAM - A CITY !

Man and Nature, in the past, have both plotted in their peculiar ways to banish Fort
William from existence, but its indestructible Spirit survives every attempt!
Captured by Lord Selkirk in 1816, the occupants of the "Fort" were all imprisoned, but the
Nor'westers finally overcame their captor and resumed their operations.
Nature took a hand and tried to destroy Fort William in 1896 by a terrible bush fire that
threatened its very existence.
In 1907 a group of individuals again had designs upon our fair city. The excerpt from
our local paper dated Jan. 30th, 1907, reads ... "Port Arthur's Bill applying for a civic charter
and the right to annex Fort William has been received in Toronto, and will be one of first
private bills to be considered by the House."
Strangely enough, Fort William's Bill applying for city status had become "lost."
However, thanks to the speedy action and indomitable spirit of our, then City Fathers, the
Fort William Bill was "found" and the "annex" clause was struck out of the Port Arthur Bill.
With a population of 15,000, a new city hall, police department, fire department, streetrailway and phone service, Fort William in the year 1907 received the full status of a "City."

�FORT WILLIAM'S EFFORT IN TWO WORLD WARS

Loyalty to Canada has always been deep in the hearts of the citizens of Fort William.
During World War I some 2,000 men enlisted in the Armed Forces, of these 234 were killed in
action.
Again in World War II, Fort William's contribution exceeded 2,500 men and women for
Active Service; in this war 177 made the supreme sacrifice.
A cenotaph is erected on the City Hall grounds in honour of those that gave their all.
In World War II, the citizens of Fort William subscribed $35½ millions to War and Victory
bonds besides many hundreds of thousands in war saving certificates.

SIXTY YEARS OF POLICE SERVICE

/

The history of the Fort William Police Department would not be complete without reference to the ' Old
Timers" of some sixty years ago.
The first Chief of the Police Force was Alexander Campbell (father of Mr. J. A. Campbell, 323 S. Syndicate
Avenue, Fort William), who was appointed Chief in 1891 and William J. Dodds was appointed Constable at the
same time (the latter was father of Mrs. C. E. Watkins, 1401 Moodie Street, Fort William). Both these men held
office when Fort William was incorporated as a Town in 1892 and continued in office until 1895 when their services
were dispensed wiith.
For the next two years several men acted as Constables but evidently the service was not satisfactory and
in 1897 Campbell and Dodds were taken into service again in their old positions. The wages of Constables at that
time was $12.00 per month and considered good. Occasionally the Town ran short of finances and the Constables
would be laid off until the Town Treasury obtained mo re funds.
About 1901 an outstanding Irishman was taken in to service with the Force, trained on an English Police
Force a colorful and dignified gentleman of the King Ed ward VII type, William W. O'Brien, after about two years'
service was appointed Assistant chief on the death of Chief Campbell in 1903 and. William J. Dodds was appointed
Chief Constable. Assistant Chief O'Brien held office until August, 1906, when he . was appointed a District
Magistrate.
On October 10th, 1905, Charles E. Watkins, was appointed Constable, at that time the Force consisted of
Chief W. J. Dodds, Assistant Chief O'Brien, Constables Timothy Dooling, Robert Stubbs and Charles E. Watkins.
When the Town was incorporated as a City in 1907 the Force had grown to eight members. The next five years
after incorporation saw the Force nearly trebled in strength to 21 members. On March 19th, 1906, George 'Taylor
was appointed a Constable. In later years three of these men, Chief Dodds, Chief Watkins and Chief Taylor (who
was appointed Chief of the Port Ar:thur Police Force in June, 1920), had their fame spread from coast to Coast
through the Chief Constables' Association of Canada. Dodds was one of the originals of the Association and Taylor
and Watkins who each were elected President of the organization during their active membership in the Association.
A notable appointment was made in 1906 to the Fort William Police Court bench, a giant 6' 6" and weighing
about 260 pounds, Willi.am Palling, a former Toronto City Policeman, who had assisted in the survey of Kicking
Horse Pass in British Columbia under a Major Rogers, C.E., for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1880. In 1885 Mr.
Palling came to Fort William where he engaged in lumbering, carpentry and contracting before his appointment
as Magistrate. An unwritten story of high adventure was lost with his passing in 1947 at the age of 88 years.

�In January, 1932, Chief Constable Dodds passed away, literally in uniform an outstanding specimen of
manhood .and fearless in the performance of his duties. Inspector Charles E. Watkins, an able Police Officer, was
appointed Chief Constable. The position of Patrol Sergeant was created and a man detailed to Plain clothes
duty to cope with the ever increasing crimes committed.
About 1908 the Freight Handlers at the C.P.R. sheds w€nt on strike and troops from Winnipeg were brought
in to help the Police maintain order. During the strike many shots were exchanged.
A C.P.R. Constable w:as
wounded and later died in Winnipeg from his injuries. Inspector Ball of the C.P.R. Police lost an eye and Sergeant
George Taylor of ,t he Fort William City Force was wounded in the face slightly from a shot gun shell fired by
one of the participants in the strike.
During the Street Railway men's strike in 1913 a street car was derailed on Simpson Street near Robertson
Street. A man was arrested for breaking windows in the street car and a very large crowd gathered at the Coal
Dock or McTavish Street Police Station ,t o try and effect the rescue of the prisoner. The door panels, and all
glass in the front of the building was smashed and the now angry crowd threatened to set fire to the Station. In
the ensuing battle one man was killed and a second one wounded and the crowd dispersed quickly, the building
still shows its scars of that day.
Thjs building had previously served as a Municipal Office and was located where the Public Library now stands,
about the time the old City Hall burned down it was moved to Mc'Tavish Street. It was sold to a private owner
some years ago and is now occupied as a dwelling house. When the old Town Hall was burning the late Chief
Dodds distinguished himself by saving the life of a prisoner who was in a locked cell .
.About August, 1912, the present Court House Building was occupied by the Fort William Police Departme.n t.
Only two members who joined the Force when the Police Station was housed in the present Medical Health
Offices in the City Hall are now serving in the Force, Staff Sergeant C. R. Palmer, the senior member of the
s.taff, and Chief Constable W. S. Brown who was appointed to that office on the retirement of Chief Constable C. E.
Watkins on January 1st, 1951, after 45 years' service to the City of Fort William.
In 1942 a memorable decision was made by members of the Force when they discarded that famous and
distinctive British institu.tion, the "Bobby" helmet for flat caps. Many tourists have in their albums pictures of
members wearing the "Bobby" helmet.
The established strength of the Fort William Police in 1952 is 43 members, one clerk, one garage a,ttendant and
a part time matron.

�WE SALUTE THE FORT WILLIAM FIRE DEPARTMENT!

1907 We Advance to

Horses!

As far back as our Fire Department records go we find that on March 17th, 1892, Mr. E. J. Rochon was appointed
Chief of the Department. One year later Mr. H. M. Piper was elected Chief wirth Mr. James Tonkin as Deputy
Chief. During his tenure of office Chief Piper and his bold, brave band of intrepid fire-fighters (according to
the "Morning Herald"), fought many serious fires. In the year 1896 a serious bush fire came very near to destroying
the town of Fort William. The fire swept down Avthur Street towards the Fire Department assembled with all their
apparatus on John Street which at that time was the most westerly street opened up. For eighteen long hours
the fire was fought at close quarters, but was finally brought under control. On May 12th, 1908, the C.iP.R. Elevator "B" caught fire and was totally destroyed with 250,000 bushels of wheat. The old steam engine from Port
Arthur was called and rendered yeoman service to Fort William's exhausted fire-fighters. ,The loss was estimated
at $2,000,000.
In an undated newspaper clipping the Fire Department under the direction of Fire Chief Hugh Piper gave
an elaborate oyster supper, flavoured with cigars and "refreshments" to the C1ty Council, but before the visitors left
in the wee small hours of the morning the Fire Department combined business with pleasure and prevailed upon
Council to submit a by-law to the rate-payers for the large sum of $35,000 to instal a waterworks system and
electric lighting plant, this turned out to be the forerunner of our present Loch Lomond waterworks system.
On July 15th, 1908, a serious fire broke out at the establishment of John King and Co., Victoria Avenue. For
a time this fire threatened the whole business section of our city. A hurried call was sent to Port Arthur for
assistance, ,t heir brigade made a "quick trip" in little over an hour, but the entire block was a total loss with the
damage amounting to $161,025.00.
May 8th, 1909, was the beginning of a First Class Fire Department here. The City Council hired 2nd Assistant
Chief A. D. Cameron of Hamilton to be the first paid Chief of the Fire Department of Fort William.
The first serious fire which occurred during Chief Cameron's period of office was on January 5th, 1910, at
the old boarding house of IMr. F. H. Babcock, 603 McKellar Street, near the Ogilvie Flour Mills. The temperature
was 20 degrees below zero, and the occupants escaped only in their night attire, unfortunately four people were
burned to death, and the bodies were not found until the following day, the damage was also very considerable.
Another serious winter fire occurred on January 10th, 1912, at John Jacobson's store on Lower Simpson Street.
At this fire many members of the Department suffered privations from frost bite, etc., as :the mercury hovered over
40 degrees below zero. Mr. Jacobson's niece, Sarie, lost her life in this fire.
November 27th, 1912, headlines in the paper stated "New fire engine is Chief Cameron's pride and joy. All the
local staff of fire-fighters have been wiping, polishing, petting, and admiring the new engine. This steam engine
was manufactured by the Waterous Co. of Brantford, Ontario, and is the latest type known in fire-fighting circles."

�The first new plece of motorized apparatus made by the Seagrave Co. was purchased in March, 1913. This
machine was equipped with an air-cooled engine, chain driven, with a 45 gallon tank of chemical and hose installed
on the body, it continued in service until the year 1928. Every time a fire alarm sounded in the west end of the
city the truck used five gallons of gasoline to make the round trip.
One of our most disastrous fires occurred on March 27th, 1923, at the Rutledge and Jackson Block, Victoria
Avenue, the temperature was 22 degrees below zero, with a 30 mile an hour wind, and a foot of snow. Captain
David Gerow of the Brown Street Station was killed instantly when the walls fell on top of him.
On November 15th, 1940, the Department was saddened by the loss of Assistant Chief Archie McEwen, and
Fireman Thomas Ross at the Mandarin Cafe fire. Asst. Chief McEwen had been a member of the Fire Dept, under
the old volunteer system headed by Chief Hugh Piper. He was a man greatly beloved by his men, and a real .firefighter. Fireman Thomas Ross was always to the forefront in the betterment of working conditions for the firemen, having been a past president of the local fire-fighters' union. His untimely death came as a great shock to
all his friends.
On January 1st, 1941, Captain E. H. Dean was appointed Chief of the Department succeeding former Chief
Cameron who had been retired on pension, and Fireman Harold Lockwood was appointed as Deputy Chief.
During the last 12 years the Department has forged ahead both in the quality of apparatus, and the improvement in the strength of the personnel. To-day the citizens of Fort William have every reason to be justly proud
of their Fire Department, not only for their fire-fighting capabilities but for the charitable duties they ,perform
to all our citizens. They are always to the forefront in donating blood both to the McKellar Hospital and the Red
Cross. During the festive Christmas season the children attending parties are always supervised by the members
of the Fire Department.
Every year a Fire Prevention contest is held throughout Canada and the United States. In 1950 the Fort
William Department came second in all of Canada for their fire prevention activities and teaching given to all our
school children, and each year we have come consistently close to the top.

Civic Transit System In the 1890's

OUR TRANSIT SYSTEM CARRIES ON !
In 1892 the Ontario Legislature approved an Order-in-Council governing street railway
transportation in the Town of Fort William, by which the Town of Port Arthur was granted the
right to construct and operate an electric railway system in Fort William. By the following
June street cars were operating in the new Town as far as Pruden Street and by September
30th, 1893, were running through to Westfort. On March 11, 1908, the City Council of Fort
William agreed to purchase that portion of the street railway line within the City's bmmdaries together with seven street cars and accessories. The purchase price was set at $52,000,
and on August 1, 1908, the money was paid over to Port Arthur and the City of Fort William
became the owner of its street railway system. Operations were controlled from that time
until December 1, 1913, by a joint commission, after which the City of Fort William took over
the management of its own system independently.
During the time of joint operation the system was managed by Superintendent Thomas
McCauley. Fort William's first manager was Mr. M. 0. Robinson, succeeded in later years
by A. L. Farquarson, C. H. Moors, and M. E. Morton. In 1945 the present manager, Mr. A. V.
Steele, succeeded Mr. Morton.
In the first year of incorporation as a Town, Fort William's population numbered less than
2,000, so that the volume of passenger traffic on the old street railway must have been very
small indeed. Some indication of its size may be determined from the passenger revenue,
which in 1894 amounted to $8,216.65 in both cities. Based on the five-cent fare in vogue in
those days, it would appear that fewer than 165,000 revenue passengers were carried. By
1921 the volume had passed the three million mark in Fort William alone, and in 1951 our
trolleys and buses carried 6,155,148 passengers.

�The history of the old Fort William Electric Railway is one of varying fortunes. Since its
inception the railway was faced by many difficulties including the disastrous "Car Barns" fire
of 1919, two world wars, recurring periods of economic depression, and the competition of
automobile traffic. Old time residents of the Town and City will remember the struggles to
overcome the heavy load of bonded indebtedness and the feeling of relief when the last
debenture was paid off in 1944. This new security was short lived, however, for it was obvious
that the worn out and obsolete rolling stock, r-ailway and building would have to be replaced.
This was done by the- purchase of new motor buses and trolley coaches, the construction of
trolley lines, and the erection of the new Transit Terminal on Walsh Street. Inevitably, the
price had to be paid, and once more the Department found itself carrying a capital debt.
However, the burden is not nearly as great as was carried by the old system, and in return
Fort William's residents are receiving the benefit of rapid and comfortable transportation in
modern vehicles at a reasonable cost.
i

The City owns and operates ten trolley coaches and twenty-five gasoline buses. The
thirty-five vehicles have a total seating capacity of 1,209. All rolling stock, including three
trucks, are housed, serviced and maintained in the Transit Terminal on Walsh Street. This
building, which was completed in 1949, is fully equipped and is considered to be one of the
most modern and efficient structures of its type in Canada.
Last year Transit vehicles operated a total of l, 116,325 miles. In all these operations only
nine passengers were injured, none seriously. This is a remarkable record, especially when
it is considered that more than six million passengers were carried, and it speaks well for the
care and attention to safety rules on the part of the operators.

A Part of Today's Fine System.

�THE PUREST WATER ON EARTH!

The first Water Works System was installed in the year 1896 on the banks of the Kaministiquia River at the southerly limit. of Sprague Stre~t to se~ve a population of 2,500. The water
was taken from the r.iver and delivered to the mams; unfiltered, by two Northey Duplex Compound Pumps, each of a rated capacity of 750,000 imperial gallons per 24 hours.
The system was supplemented by various wells throughout the town, the principle one
being an artesian well situated on the east side of Brodie Street at the rear of the City Hall
from which most of the drinking water was procured and delivered by water wagons. The
present drinking fountain is located on the site of the old well. In 1903 the first survey of the
Loch Lomond water shed was made by Mr. John Galt, a consulting engineer from Toronto. •
His report and proposal was submitted June 24th, 1894, but the estimated cost amounting to
$215,000.00 was considered prohibitive for a population of 6,000 to finance.
It was then that a suggestion was made to erect a pumping station on the shore of Lake
Superior, but the nearest location outside the turbid area was McNab Point, a distance of
5½ miles from the town, and would require a 500-foot intake pipe to secure a water depth
of 24 feet, a depth not safe from disturbance during a Lake Superior storm. This fact together
with the cost of pumps, filter beds and other treatment and the operation of a pumping plant
proved too costly and the idea was abandoned.
The Loch Lomond Scheme was again advocated and accepted by the Board of Commissioners and a By-law for $125,000.00 was submitted to cover a temporary scheme whereby Crescent Lake could be tapped for immediate use and a portion of the permanent scheme
necessary to convey the water to the City, in::luding one pressure main, river crossing and
distribution pipes.
•
The Crescent Lake Scheme was referred to as Construction Section No. 1 and a contract
for this work was awarded to Wm. Newman &amp; Company of Winnipeg, on June 5th, 1906, their
bid being the lowest of three received. Two Dams were constructed and a 10" diameter cast
iron intake pipe installed. From this intake an 8" diameter wood stave supply pipe 2,000 feet

�long was laid to the reservoir of some 800,000 imperial gallon~ capacity. An 18" diameter
wood stave pressure main approximately 10,600 feet in length was laid from the reservoir
to the boundary between the Indian Reserve and the Grand Trunk Pacific property. From
this boundary to point of distribution on the north bank of the Karninistiquia River a cast
iron pipe was laid and in October 1907 connections were made to existing City mains and
put into service.
Construction of the Forebay and screen chamber at the outlet was undertaken during the
summer of 1908 and together with the two cast iron pressure mains to the reservoir was completed the following year.
Due to the unsatisfactory condition of the wood stave pipe leading to the City supply, it
was deemed advisable to construct another cast iron main to satisfy the Fire Underwriters'
requirements for 15,000 population which figure had been reached in 1907.
Water was let into the tunnel for the first time on June 21st, 1'909, the valve being opened
by Mayor L. L. Peltier and chairman James Piper of the Boardl of Water Commissioners. Two
days were spent in flushing and the supply was officially turned into the city mains on June
23rd by James Conmee, M.P., the City's representative in the Dominion House of Commons.
Since that time additional supply mains have been laid and today Fort William is serviced
with three duplicate River Crossings located at Elevator "D", the original crossing, the Mission
River Crossing, near the Fort William Coal Dock, and the latest crossing at the Canadian
National Swing Bridge.
Fort William is very fortunate in having a gravity system of pure untreated water, second
to none, but it will be necessary to install an additional supply main from the Forebay to
the Reservoir in order to maintain sufficient pressure for fire protection as our City expands
and to supplement either of the two present supply mains in the event of a breakdown.

Old Telephone Exchange

Telephone service in Fort William prior to December 20th, 1902, was operated by the
Bell Telephone Co. who started operation at the lakehead about the time the C.P.R. was
completed.
In 1902, through the vision and efforts of some of the early citizens who had the opinion
that they could operate their own telephone system and give cheaper and better service to
residents, built their own system. The first call made over the new system was made on
October 18th, 1902, when Mayor Joshua Dyke called up Mayor I. L. Matthews in Port Arthur
and the following conversation took place:
Stepping to the instrument, Mayor Dyke asked if that was Mayor Matthews speaking,
and upon being answered in the affirmative, he said: "I wish success as Mayor of this town
to the telephone system of the united towns of Fort William and Port Arthur. We already
have linked our destiny with municipal ownership, and municipal ownership is one of modern
democracy-government by the people and for the people. We hope to give this telephone
system as all other public utilities at the lowest cost, with the utmost practical efficiency. Our
two towns now stand united on behalf of the people against monopolies of every kind in the
great utilities of life. We must now aim, in conduct of our public business, at integrity and
efficiency and then given these two we may confidently look forward to their result, prosperity, "Hurrah for Port Arthur."
Mayor Matthews replied thanking Mayor Dyke for the good wishes sent across the wires
to Port Arthur, and undertaking, on the part of Port Arthur, to keep in line with the sentiments
so ably expressed, and concluded with the words, "Hurrah for Fort William."
This interchange of courtesies constituted the first official message sent between the two
cities, and could be said to have inaugurated the service.
The new system was under the management of the late F. S. Jones, and had 175 subscribers, and two lines connecting the two cities. This system operated a few months when
it was destroyed by fire, with the burning of the old town hall. The telephone operators
employed at that time were Miss A. Armstrong, Miss E. Davidson, Miss Norah Bell and Miss
M. Davidson.

�The switchboard was quickly replaced with a new one installed in a brick building on
Brodie Street at the rear of the present City Hall.
Mr. Jones continued as manager until 1907 when he resigned to open up an electrical
business of his own. Some of the managers succeeding Mr. Jones were the late J. C. McRae,
Mr. A. L. Farquharson now manager of Utilities at Brockville, Ont., and the late Mr. C. J. Moors.
Mr. Moors was manager until 1939 when he was made manager of the Fort William Hydro
Electrical Commission. He was succeeded by the present manager, Mr. A. E. McDougall, who
entered the service of the telephone department as a boy on January 2nd, 1906. Having grown
up with the system, Mr. McDougall has seen it grow from a small system with 700 stations to
the present modern dial system with 12,000 stations and capitalized at $1,500,000.00.
The subscribers have benefitted by very low telephone rates, and in addition some
$507,000.00 has been turned back to the City to be used for other purposes, for the benefit
of the citizens in general.
On April 23rd, 1949, the heavily overloaded manual system was replaced by a modern
dial system, installed in a fireproof exchange building which has been classed as one of the
finest exchange buildings of its size in Canada.
With the improved service on the dial system came a heavy demand for service, since
the installation in 1949, 2,000 lines have been added to the exchange equipment and another
1,000 hnes scheduled for May 1953. Heavy expenditures are also being made for additional
outside cable plant to try and cope with the heavy demand for service.
Telephone subscribers in the City can sit in their own homes and talk to 93 per cent of
the world's telephones, also passengers on board ships, on the oceans and Great Lakes.
Some idea of how the telephone is used in the City can be gained by the following data:
The total number of calls has reached as high as 117,343 calls per day, approximately 3.1
calls per day for every man, woman and child in the City.
While the Fort William Municipal Telephone System has kept in stride with all the latest
improvements for better service, the words spoken by Mayor Dyke in his inaugural address
could be adopted as our slogan" Service at lowest possible cost with utmost practical efficiency."

�A HOME FOR THE SICK

McKellar Hospital Hospital with Teim1porary Add,i tion 1906.

The beginning of McKellar Hospital was in September, 1889, when a public meeting was called to discuss plans
for insuring the salary of a district nurse. During the winter of 1899-1900, four meetings of citizens were called
to discuss ways and means for a hospital. In January, 1900, Mayor Hogarth, Dr. Hamilton, P. J. , Manion and G. I.
Pike were appointed to solicit subscriptions and probable source of revenue. These gentlemen were successful in
their efforts and the most notable gift was the block of land between John, Arthur, Vickers and Ridgeway, on which
the hospital stands, given by the McKellar Brothers (Peter and Donald) in memory of their brother the late John
McKellar, who was Fort William's first and much loved mayor. As a result, the cottage hospital on George Street,
under the supervision of the Victorian Order of Nurses was opened in November, 1901, with Miss Christine Banks,
Superintendent.
The difficulties and discouragements of financing were bravely met by the Trustees and the building of the
hospital was in progress. The corner stone was laid on October 10, 1902 by Miss Mary McKellar and by June 25,
1903, the hospital was ready for occupation, with a staff of Superintendent, Miss Christine Banks, two graduate
nurses, one man and one Chinese servant.
A most fearful and trying time for every person was during the dark days of the Typhoid epidemic in 1906.
At this time the Annex was built and ready for 40 patients in seven days, mostly volunteer labor.
Mr. C. W. Jarvis was the first President of the Board of Directors and was successively followed by many
other influential citizens with Mr. R. Philpott presently presiding. These men gave much of their time and energy
to meet the emergencies of the different years.
In June, 1904 the Training School began with two probationers and
meantime, the staff had been increased to three graduate nurses and
ing school started in the Thunder Bay District and our nurses the first
the new wing to the South (now the centre building) was erected and
35 beds to 120. Dr. McTavish and Dr. Gillespie were the first internes.

in June, 1907, graduated two nurses. In the
eleven pupils. McKellar was the first traingraduates of any kind of school. In 1908,
ready for use increasing the capacity from

In 1910 the north wing had been put under construction with a , third floor added to the original building.
Again as in earlier years wards and rooms were furnished by private individuals and benefit societies. The Nurses
home was under construction and the first two floors were ready for occupancy November, 1911. The third floor
of the nurses residence was completed in September, 1913.
In 1913 the first X-ray machine was installed and Dr. Chisholm in charge. Later, when Dr. Chisholm left for
overseas, Mr. S. A. Cowell was X-Ray Technician. In 1919 the Lady Grey Chapter, I.O.D.E. furnished the Children's ward and maintained it. In 1935 this was remodelled and divided into cubicles with glass partitions by
the Fort William Gyro Club.
In 1922, McKellar was approved as a Grade A Hospital, meeting all requirements.
Dr. M. J. MacAvelia was appointed Medical Superintendent and Business Manager in 1919. Mr. H. H. Browne
came to McKellar as Accountant in 1920, and when Dr. MacAvelia resigned, became business manager. This posi-

�tion he held until 1930, when he was appointed Superintendent.
Johnston was appointed Hospital Superintendent.

Mr. Browne resigned in 1948 and Mr. R. V.

In 1928 the south wing, four floors, were added increasing the bed capacity to 200.
with the hospital and at this time had 60 pupils, 10 graduates and 3 internes.

The Training School grew

In 1925, Dr. H. J. Ferrier, Radiologist, came to McKellar and through the years has continued to expand the
X-Ray department.
In 1942, when Senator and Mrs. N. M. Paterson pre5ented their home to the hospital, more accomodation for
nurses was obtained. Years ago, houses were rented near the hospital for nurses.
In 1938-39 plans for a new wing were being made by the Board of Directors as there was continually a call
of a shortage of beds, but with the war these plans had to be laid away.
A Quonset Hut was erected at the rear of the hospital adjacent to the Nurses' Home and was opened in June,
1948. The "Annex" has accommodation for 34 chronic patients, two wards, male and female, with kitchen and
service rooms.
During the years 1948-49-50 all hospital wards, rooms, and corridors were painted in light colors, which has
made the hospital much more attractive both for patient and staff. In 1938, the reception room in the Vickers Street
Residence was remodelled and painted a light grey. Beautiful floral drapes and large mirrors over each fireplace
and new lighting fixtures. The Ladies' Aid were responsible for a great deal of this as well as furnishing a sitting
room for the public at the front entrance of the hospital.
•
The new Quonset hut was erected and opened June 15th, 1949 connected with the south wing and extends south
towards Ridgeway street. Accommodation for 26 semi-private patients.
In 1946 the Hospital purchased the residence at the corner of Ridgeway and Archibald. It was completely
renovated in 1948.
The new power plant was opened for operation April 1, 1950, next to the Paterson Residence. It is 60 feet
wide with two storeys, chimney 125 feet high from the roof. It has a capacity to supply a 500 bed hospital. It contains boiler rooms, electrical and plumbing office, paint shops, incinerator, all connected by tunnel.
Contractors are now engaged in the erection of a five- storey hospital .addition, containing 163 beds and all services, facing Ridgeway Street and connecting with east end of present south wing and extending across John Street,
which had been closed. The service wing extending nor th ward on John towards Arthur Street. It is anticipated
that this addition will open in the spring of 1953 and will provide the biggest and most modern hospital in NorthWest Ontario.

New Additional to be Completed in 1953.

�EDUCATION IN OUR FORT WILLIAM SCHOOLS

Central School 1895.

No other single factor in a community's growth can compare in importance with the educational programme whi'ch has been offered to the youth throughout the years. No other
item sets the standard, measures the progress, marks the attainments or creates and exhibits
the interest and pride of the citizens in their boys and girls as well as a firmly established
school system. One of the first questions of the new arrival in Fort William concerns our
schools. History shows that the early pioneers faced the same problem. A brief outline of the
growth of the educational opportunities in our city shows many interesting changes.
Miss Victoria McVicar, daughter of Captain R. McVicar, Postmaster at Fort William, is
recognized as Fort William's first teacher. She acted as tutoress to the children of the Hudson's
Bay Company employ,ees. This work was continued by Miss Brennan, whose duties were
conducted in a small frame building about twelve by fifteen feet, located on the ground of
the Hudson's Bay Company. This was equipped with wooden seats and benches and accommodated about ten pupils. Later, Rev. McFarland taught for the Company during the week
and on the Sabbath conducted public worship.
In 1871 the first school was built and eighty-nine years ago the school bell summoned six
pupils to their lessons. The building was situated on Island No. 2 at the mouth of the Kaministiquia River. Two or three years later, a new building was erected on Hardisty Street and
Miss Groom was the first teacher. A fine two-storey school was built in 1887 on the present
Bank of Montreal site and Mr. John Ritchie, who later became school inspector, was the first
principal . This building was moved in 1889 to a site on North May Street near Myles Street.
L. L. Peltier bought the building and moved it to the lot immediately south of the old post
office where it still stands. From the proceeds of the sale of this property, the site of the present
Central School was purchased from the McKellar brothers in March, 1894. An eight room brick

�building costing about $29,000 was erected on this site in the same year and P. J. Pilkey was
the first principal.
So the first of our present schools was built. Accounts may vary, details may be omitted,
dates may be obscure, but associations and pleasant memories are never lacking. A brief
outline cannot even mention the early stages of the other public schools. We shall have to
be t&gt;atisfied with the fact that from 1894 to 1928 seven schools were built and May 20, 1949, was
the official opening date of Kingsway Park School.
The Separate Schools of Fort William had their beginning in January, 1902, when St.
Stanislaus School on Myles Street was opened with an enrolment of 130 pupils. Sister St. Joseph
was the principal. Steady progress has been made in their building programme. Their fifth
elementary school, St. Elizabeth, will be opened for classes next September.
High school education dates from 1900. The first classes, consisting of twenty pupils under
Mr. J. J. Taylor and Mr. S. W. Matthews, met in two classrooms in Central School. The following year these classes were .transferred to two rooms in Ogden School and in 1907 the school
was moved to South Marks Street. Our present Collegiate Institute was erected in 1919, St.
Patrick's High School opened in 1928 and the Vocational School in 1931.
In 1871 six pupils answered the call to sch_ool. Statistics are useful and interesting m
Jubilee years. The following table gives the -approximate figures for September, 1952:

We can look with considerable pride in the steady growth of our school system. Our
Jubilee year shows 233 teachers in 17 well established buildings offering educational opportunities to over 7, l 00 students. Have we met the demands through the past years? Are we
ready for the challenges of the future1 School buildings are definitely the lines of fortifications
for our democracies. With these for a background we can go forward with confidence.

Vocational School, a Modern Educational Ho-me for our children.

�THE
GRAIN

STORY
C.P.R. Elevator "C".

Since 1918 when grain statistics in detail were first commenced, nearly nine billion bushels of grain have passed
through Lakehead terminals. If this were all loaded in to box cars, they would make a train long enough to stretch
1½ times around the world at the equator or would make up eleven giant freight trains side by side stretching
from Vancouver to Halifax.
Included in this amount were 6½ billion bushels of wheat. If this were all milled into flour and the flour baked
into bread, there would be enough bread to give every man, woman and child in the world three slices of bread per
day for over two years.
Sixty years ago (1892) the grain trade in Fort William was already ten years old. There were three elevators
in operation-Elevators "A", "B" and "C"-owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The combined
storage capacity of these three houses was 3,250,000 bushels. In those early days it was considered a duty of the
railway to supply grain storage and grain handling facilities in the same manner as they furnish freight sheds for
other commodities. Later on, as the grain trade evolved, the elevators came to be run by companies other than the
railways. These original elevators have now been demolished, "A" and "C" in 1928 and "B" (1along with its annex
"E" built in 1902) in 1948.
In 1907, Fort William's first year as an incorporated city, there were seven elevators in operation - five
owned by --the C.P.R., plus the Empire (built in 1904) and the Consolidated (erected in 1905) houses. Their combined
storage facilities could accommodate about nine million bushels of grain. The Ogilvie House was not functioning
that year. The fine modern house standing today near the C.P.R. Station was being started, to replace their original house, which in August, 1906, had startled the city by slowly sliding into the Kaministiquia River. During the
crop year 1906-07 these seven houses received from the West about fifty million bushels of grain.
Today there are eleven terminal elevators in Fort William, with a storage potential of 37,500,000 bushels of
grain. During the crop year 1950-51 these houses received into their bins 105,000,000 bushels of western grain.
From a perusal of various papers and reports, especially ,t he annual reports of the Thunder Bay Historical Society,
it would appear that these are the facts concerning grain handling at the lakehead in the very early days.
1881-The C.P.R. line joining the lakehead and Winnipeg was completed.
1882-This year marked the beginning of the grain trade here when the wooden steamer "Erin" Cpt. Sullivan)
sailed up the Kaministiquia River to where W estfort now stands, and there had loaded into her compara..
tively small hold the first cargo of wheat to leave the lakehead. Fort William at that time was still a
Hudson's Bay Co. post, and Port Arthur was a tiny settlement. There were no elevators. This first grain
shipment was taken from a shed and some of it was placed on board by men carrying the sacked grain
in wheelbarrows. It was transferred by cars from the grain sheds in West Fort William to Mark's Dock
and loaded by wheelbarrows and chutes made for the purpose, and shovelled back.
1883-The first elevator, the "Horn", was built at the lakehead, in Port Arthur. This was a little wooden
structure with a capacity of 250,000 bushels, er~cted by the C.P.R. It was built in Port Arthur because it
was beleived that the large ships that would be required to move grain in quantity would be unable to
navigate the shallow Kaministiquia River. The "Acadian" (Cpt. Malcolmson) was the first ship to load
at the first elevator.
1885-Elevator "A" was completed by the C.P.R. This elevator was built of wood, on the north bank of the
Kaministiquia, about 1¼ miles up from the river mouth. It had a capacity of 1,000,000 bushels, and
nine cars (the smaller 1885 variety) could be unloaded there simultaneously. However, although it was
completed early in 1885, no great quantity was taken in as the C.P.R. boats refused to attempt the trip
upriver due to the lack of dredging. Elevator "A" received only the overflow of the 1884 crop f_rom
the smaller elevator in Port Arthur, the grain being transferred between the two elevators in cars.
However, some time in June of 1885 Mr. J. L. Patton, the C.P.R.'s resident engineer, proved that the
Kaministiquia was navigable when he piloted the S.S. "Algoma" alongside Elevator "A". She was

�loaded there and taken out with little trouble. Prior to that, the schooner "Sligo" had loaded 17,000 bushels
to become the first boat to load at a Fort William elevator.
Grain shipments through the lakehead that year totalled 1.5 million bushels.
1887-This year the western grain crop was immense. Both lakehead elevators were filled and by January, 1888,
the old sheds were again called into use. In addition a huge new shed was built in Fort William, each
section being filled as the carpenters had hit the last nail. It held 800,000 bushels. This enabled the railway to unload fifty or sixty cars per day and a blockade was prevented. Four and a half million bushels
were handled through the lakehead that year.
1889-Elevator "B" was completed in time to handle its share of the 1889 crop. This was erected in Fort William
by the C.P.R. and its capacity was 1,000,000 bushels. It was later destroyed by fire and replaced by a
fireproof house.
1890-Elevator "C" was erected by the C.P.R. as an annex to elevator "A", with a common workinghouse. Its
capacity was 1,250,000 bushels. It too was a wooden structure. These three elevators gave Fort William
a total capacity of 3¼ million bushels in wooden elevators strung in line along the river banks.
1897-Elevator "D", the first steel house, was built by the C.P.R. and it had
working house burned down in 1903, after which more modern type
with the new workinghouse. Later there were more additions and
capacity it was the largest grain elevator in the world. It was called

a capacity of 1,500,000 bushels .. It's
of storage tanks were built along
when it reached 7 million bushels
the "Northland."

1902-Elevator "E", constructed of steel and with a capacity of 1,900,000 bushels, was erected by the C.P.R. as
an annex to their elevator "B". The tanks in this elevator were hexagonal, with six tanks grouped
around a central one.
Begun in 1901, the Canadian Northern Railway erected their elevator "A" in Port Arthur, the first
lakehead elevator not owned by the C.P.R. Originally it had a capacity of 1,250,000 bushels, and was
added to until in 1904 it had two working houses with a combined capacity of 2,000,000 bushels and fireproof tile storage capacity of 5,000,000 bushels-total 7,000,000 bushels. A second series of tanks added
to workinghouse "B" in 1913 brought the capacity up 'to 9,500,000 bushels.
1904-The Empire elevator was put up in 1904, in Fort William, 1,700,000 bushels capacity. The Ogilvie
elevator also was built, capacity 890,000 bushels-steel hexagonal. The "Consolidated" elevator was
built with a capacity of 600,000 bushels.
1909-"Western" Terminal elevator went up (in 1909), capacity 880,000 bushels. This year (1909) too saw
the erection of the Thunder Bay elevator in Port Arthur, (capacity 1,500,000 bushels), an indication of
the increasing Canadian Northern traffic.
1910-The G.T.P. elevator was erected by the railway (Grand Trunk Pacific Railway), the first elevator to rise
on the south bank of the Kaministiquia. Capacity, 3,250,000 bushels.
1913-The Canadian Government elevator, the Fort William elevator and the Davidson &amp; Smith-80,000 bushels
-all were erected this year.

�THE GREAT LAKES PAPER COMPANY LIMITED
Organized as The Great Lakes Paper rCo. Ltd. in 1919 1b y the Backus Brooks interest of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the original
company spent some years acquiring pulpwood limits, plant site and Hydro Electric Power with which to operate.
In 11923 the co~£struction of the plant got underway and in 1924, the first ton of groundwood pulp was produced.
Four years later, in 1927 the original company began construction on the present newsprint mill and was designed to
produce a capacity of 100.000 tons of newsprint per year.
The first paper machine, which is now No. 1 (Judy) was put into operation on August 28, 1928 and the second machine
No. 2 (Jumbo), began jproducting newsprint on May 4, 1929.
In keeping with the long established policy of the company a ,program of research and study of processes and methods
of production is maintained at all times. This resulted in the development of a high grade newsprint sheet and a world production record of 505.9 tons for a 24 hour period by the two ma chines in 1949-50.
This world newsprint production record of 505.9 tons was shattered again in 1951 when the two huge paper machines
set a new combined 24 hour production record of 631.310 tons of newsprint.
"Jurnlbo" who has the distinction of being the largest paper machine on the North American continent, rolling out a sheet
of top quality newsprint 305 inches or slightly over 25 feet wide; and Judy, slightly smaller, producing a 26.5 inch sheet, have
become famous among papermakers on this continent. Both machines have set individual production records as well. In
June 195'1, Judy produced 248.877 tons, and in August 1951, Jumlbo chalked up 287.958 tons of high grade newsprint in a 24
hour period. The two machines average about 515 tons of newsprint per day of sustained production.
Total newsprint production for 1951 was 155,000 tons which left the Westfort milil in 75 lake boats and 2,500 box cars.
\Top quality newsprint is not the only product turned out /by The Great Lakes Paiper Co. Ltd. The tlarge modern mill
on the western outskirts of Fort William also produced 103,000 tons of sulphite pulps; 35,000 tons of this production represents
the sulphite pulp used in newsprint ,production at the plant while 68,000 tons was exported.
The Company has allso entered the field of specialty pulp production. In 1951 they have produced over 10,000 tons of
special pulp used in the production of "glacine" paper.
It has been a pioneer in the growth of Northwestern Ontario, and made the Lakehead cities of Fort Wiilliam and Port
Arthur into one of the great pulp and paper manufacturing centres of the world.

CANADIAN CAR &amp; FOUNDRY COMPANY LIMITED
Ground for the Fort William 'Plant was first ,broken in ·[911, and the office building was completed in 19'17. The plant
was engaged in the manufacture of railway cars and, following the outbreak •of the First Wo:r1ld War, a contract was received
for the building of twelve trawlers for the French Government and one civilian ship for Vancouver. Following this, some additional railway cars were built, and, in 1922, a programme of repairs to railway 'box cars was undertaken, which kept the
plant busy until 1924 or 1925 when it was closed down due to the lack of further work.
The ,p lant reopened in 1937 for the manufacture of aircraft on a smalil scale. First project was a small trainer aircraft
and later the manufacture of Grumman Aircraft Corporation of the United States. Concurrently with the manufacture of these
aircra•ft, the company designed and built a single seater fighter bi-,plane. At that time, approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of floor
space was /being used, and the payroll was approximately 114 personnel.
In 1939 the company received an order for Hurricane fighter aircraft. First Hurricane aircraft was shipped to Great
Britain on February 9th, 1940, approximately one year after the ,r eceipt of drawings. The original order was for 40 aircraft,
but proved to be the forerunner of a number of orders for the British Government and the Canadian Department of Munitions
and Supply, totalling in all 1650 Hurricane aircraft plus large orders for spare parts. In January 1942, the company was
awarded a contract for the manufacture of 1,000 Curtiss Dive bomber aircraft, plus spare parts amounting to approximately
20 percent of the total value of the aircraft contract.
It was during production on this contract that the comp.a ny reached its peak of productivity, and at one stage the plant
employed 7,000 people, approximately 40 percent of whom were women. This large influx of personnel to the Lakehead necessitated a large programme of Wartime Housing construction, including a 450 bed ,women's staff house adjoining the plant, and
two ilarge men's staff houses.
In 1945 arrangements were completed for the manufacture of gasoline buses and electric trackless trolley coaches at the
Fort William plant as a postwar project. Following -the end of World War II, all aircraft contract work was terminated, and
the staff which remained were transferred to bus manufacture. The first coach was delivered to B.C. Motor rl'ransportation
Limited, Vancouver, on October 31st, 1945, and since that time a steady production of inter-city type gasoline !buses, city type
gasoline buses, and electric trackless trolley coaches has been maintained. Up to the present time, a total of 2,570 vehicles
of all types has been produced at the Fort William plant.
In the fall of 1948, arrangements were made for the repair of railway tank cars at the Fort William plant, and a portion
of the .building was aUocated for this purpose.
The facilities for the falbrication and erection of aircraft have recently been reactivated in conjunction with an order for
the manufacture of the Harvard trainer placed by the Department of Defence Production.
The present staff averages about 1,580 employees.

GREAT LAKES LUMBER AND SHIPPING LIMITED
The sawmill has an annual production capacity of 80-90 million feet, cutting at the rate of 17,500 feet per hour of operation. Since commencing operations, this mill! has produced over 425,000,000 feet of lumber, sufficient to provide lumber for
more than 55,000 average homes. The mill is equipped with two head-rigs, one Wicks sash gang, two Bolinder !Swedish gangs,
and horizontal slab resaw.
In addition to construction lumber, considerable of the daily production, largely lower grades, is recut into shooks, crating,
etc., in a modern cut-up division-this type or product running into about 15 million feet annuailly.
Great Lakes Lumlber and Shipping, Limited was the first and, with the exception of the west coast, is still the only
producer of Pres-to-logs in Canada. These fuel logs are marketed locally and across Canada from Winnipeg to Montreal.
Two Carthage slalb chippers are used in converting slabs and edgings to chips, these chips going to a local kraft paper miill.
At full production this sawmill provides employment for 600 of our citizens for twelve months of the year. This requires
a further 2,000 workmen in the woods cutting, driving and rafting the sawlogs to the mill.
.
The Company is pursuing a vigorous research activity toward the utilization of the unused portions of the logs with a
view to eliminating all so-caUed waste.

�THE RECORDED WORD

The first issue of the Daily Jo,u rnaI was published at the quarters shown, corner Victoria and
on October 12, 1893.

Si,mpson Streets,

Almost as important to the every day life of the citizen as food, shelter and safety is to be informed as to
the doings of neighbors and the actions of public men and governments at home and abroad.
This desire has been manifested wherever a community has started, in fact in some cases the community
leaders have "passed the hat", and raised funds to bonus anyone who would start a paper. This indeed happened
in Fort William.
Fort William's first publication was written with pen and ink and the little sheet, "Perambulator" served for a
time to promote and crystalize the community spirit which had much to do with the building of the present city.
In an address to the Thunder Bay Historical Society, the late Fred Fregeau, who as a boy worked on the
paper, told of the coming to West Fort William of two young men, Colin Prentice and William Burdoch and their
publishing in the spring of 1877 a newspaper called the Fort William Day Book. According to Mr. Fregeau the
partners were unable to make ends meet and the paper ceased publication in 1878.
Fort William which had been famous as a center for the fur traders for many decades, prominent as the point
where settlers were starting their long trail to the prairie country, was now soon to be an important railway
center "where sail meets rail" because the Canadian Pacific Railway was at the time being built westward from
this point.
With the clang of steel rails being unloaded at the docks, the influx of railway navvies and the rush and bustle
of railroad construction, there pressed on the minds of the leaders such as the McKellar brothers and others the
urgent need of a newspaper.
So a meeting was held, in fact, several meetings and notices were placed in eastern papers that the municipality
would give a bonus of $500 to start and conduct a newspaper.
F. T. Graff of Mount Forest, Ontario, was attracted by the bonus and agreed to start a newspaper here under
an agreement that he was to receive $900 as a bonus, payable $500 down and $400 at the end of the first year.
Mr. Graff brought up his Washington hand press and and assortment of type and in July, 1880, started the
weekly "Herald".

�Later on Mr. Graff changed the name of his newspaper to The Echo. F. T. Graff's new series of the Echo
appeared as late as February 12, 1886.
The history of these early days of newspaperdom is very s}cetchy but apparently Mr. Graff and the municipal
authorities did not get along and the bailiff seized the plant.
In any event, there is a gap in the story until 1887, when H. D. Lee of London, Ontario, appears on the scene.
From the time of the turning of the first sod of the Canadian Pacific Railway here in 1875, the little village
had grown into a busy little town.
The Canadian Pacific railway had built its roundhouse and other terminals at West Fort, the first through
train had passed thfough to the West in 1886 and the whole country was throbbing with a new activity.
Into this setting stepped H. D. Lee, a first class newspaper man, from London, Ontario.
Mr. Lee did not require a bonus. He saw in Fort William's situation at the head of lake navigation, the
promise of great growth and decided to throw in his lot with the pioneers.
Whether Mr. Lee purchased the old plant from the municipality or brought in a new one of his own is not clear
from the records, but on February 23, 1887, he started publishing the Fort William Journal, the forerunner of the
present Times-Journal and from that day on, an edition has never been missed.
Mr. Lee got out a good newspaper but ill health resulted in his death some thTee years after he started the
paper, his widow bravely carrying on for a short time befor.e disposing of the Journal to T. W. Rutledge and Jan.ies
McLaren.
McLaren and Rutledge moved the plant from the west end to a building at the corner of Brodie and Victoria
and changed from a weekly to a semi-weekly.
On January 2, 1893, the paper was sold to T. A. Bell, who came to Fort William from Philadelphia and before entering the newspaper field was a prominent building contractor here.
Mr. Bell moved the plant to a new building on the corner of Simpson and Victoria Avenue, purchased. a much
larger plant and on October 12, 1893 changed the Journal from an issue twice a week to a daily.
To publish a daily newspaper in a town as small as Fort William was at that time a venturesome undertaking
and it is rather remarkable that it survived.
Upon Mr. Bell's death in 1899, the paper passed to T. W. Rutledge and D. Smith who had recently started a
semi-weekly called the Times and the two papers merged under the present name of the Times-Journal.
On June 10, a stock company was formed to provide the capital needed for the expansion the growth of the town
required and it is noteworthy that some of the principal shareholders in the original company are still associated with
the company, an evidence of their faith in the future of the city.
While the Times-Journal dates its history back to 1887 when H. D. Lee printed the first copy of the Journal,
other newspapers have come and gone, all having a part in the building of the city..
In 1905, the Herald published by McCuish &amp; McPherson
had the longest life and under various ownerships appeared as
an evening and as a morning daily, finally dropping out in 1914.
The Grain Trade News owned by J . R . Smith started in
1917 and ceased publication in 1918.
J. R. Smith's Morning Bulletin lacked sufficient revenue to
carry on and disappeared from the scene.
The Twin City Press ably conducted by Samuel Young
found rising costs too great an obstacle and ceased publication
after a strenuous battle to survive.
It is no reflection on the men who operated the various
newspapers but they were bucking a trend which started some
years ago with the rising costs of producing a newspaper.
Only the very large cities have been found able to support
two newspapers and failures and amalgamations have been the
lot of those who bucked the trend.
Fort William has been fortunate in having citizens who
supported their daily newspaper and the Times-Journal owners
have not been backward in putting capital into the plant and
mac_h.inery, buildings and .all that goes with a newspaper property, to adequately serve the city and district.
The Times-Journal is owned by local people whose other
interests are tied up with the growth and development of the
head of the lakes. This is as it should be and the citizen&amp; hope
that when Fort William has its centennial celebration, the
Times-Journal will be celebrating its 105th still owned by
citizens of the city.

�1952
FORT WILLIAM CELEBRATES SIXTY YEARS OF
CONTINUED PROGRESS •
The achievement over the past sixty years of the City of Fort William is indeed worthy
of the highest praise.
From a village containing a mere handful of people in 1892, Fort William has blossomed
into a flourishing city of some 35,000 busy and industrious citizens.
Giant grain elevators, part of the world's greatest granary, stand as sentinels of commerce along Fort William's waterfront, while freighters, passenger steamers and a host of
other craft now ply the harbour waterways where once the "express canoes" and sailing
vessels of a colourful fur-trading era could be seen.
Paper for the world's newspapers and magazines is manufactured in almost unbelievable
quantities here. Lumber by the millions of feet is shipped to all parts of the world from Fort
\Villiam, while electric and motor buses that ply the highways of many countries are also
made here, and many aviators have flown, both in war and peace, the- planes of Fort William
origin.
Fort William today boasts of its fine Vocational School, its Collegiate Institute and Separate High School and its many Primary Schools.
For the recreational and entertainment requirements Fort William has the newest and
most modern ice arena in Canada seating well over 5,000 people, a well stocked Public
Library, six fine theatres, three golf courses, ball parks and outdoor rinks, parks, ski jump,
swimming pools-in fact everything to develop a healthy mind and body.
To take care of its sick and aged, Fort William has a magnificent new hospital, a threewing Sanatorium, an isolation hospital and a beautiful, well-managed Manor for the older
citizens.
To give the best possible public service to its citizens, the City of Fort William operates
a modern transit system, a dial phone service, a three-station fire department, police patrol
cars, every modern convenience and equipment in public works, paved streets, hydro electric service and the finest drinking water in the world.
Fort William is indeed proud of its Churches and Service organizations. Religious groups
of practically every denomination are represented here and enjoy the most harmonious
relationship.
Our Chambers of Commerce, Trades and Labour Council and Service clubs do magnificent work, for without their efforts Fort William could not enjoy the prosperity that has
been ours.
While the ever increasing demand has resulted in urgent" planning for the near future
expansion of our accommodation facilities, Fort William enjoys some very fine hotel service.
Travel to Fort William can be made by air, ship, train or auto. The Fort William Airport
can safely harbour anything from a tiny Moth to a giant North Star. Canada's two major
railways enter here, and it was in Fort William that the first sod of the C.P.R. was turned.

�Should the entire population have to be moved in a hurry, the citizens of Fort William
own sufficient autos to be able to carry out every man, woman and child in one trip!
Shopping service is complete in Fort William, its many fine stores offering a full variety
of commodities essential . to better living.
Fort William is well equipped with professional and tradesmen.
Cultural activities demand the interest of many Fort William citizens and are enhanced
by the fact that our population is comprised of a people representing some forty different
national racial backgrounds, working and living together as one large family.
Some picture of the actual wealth of present day Fort William can be gathered from
the following . . .

It has been stated by leading financial journals that Fort William enjoys the highest perfamily income in North America. Judging from the above figures, it would appear that our
citizens not only live and work here, but have a decided faith in the future of Fort William
and therefore invest their earnings here.
With the Deep Waterway in prospect, Fort William, when it celebrates its Centennial
Anniversary, will probably be in the process of becoming one of the most important cities
in the world. The people will look back upon this day and their thoughts will be much the
same as are ours that dwell upon those stalwart men and women of 1892, and as we say of
them, they will say of us "The courage and foresight that was born in you lives on for the
Glory, Honour and Prosperity of Fort William"!

�THE LEGEND OF NANABIJOU

THE LEGEND OF GREENMANTLE

The Sleeping Giant

Eighteen miles west of the lakehead, the mighty
Kaministiquia River plunges 128 feet over Kakabeka Falls.
"Kakabeka" is an Indian word meaning thundering waters.
More enchanting than the Falls is the story of the Indian
princess "Greenmantle."

Visitors to the Canadian lakehead gaze in wonder at the
unusual rock formation of the "Sleeping Giant," a
peninsula seven miles long and 1,100 feet high.
Many years ago, a mighty Ojibway Indian giant named
Nanabijou, walked the Great Lakes, guarding an underwater
silver treasure hoard, worked by giants at Silver Islet.
Only the Ojibways knew his secret but their tongues were
stilled by his warning-"lf the paleface discovers, all tribes
will die."
One day, hearing the rumble of the giant's voice, a
Sioux Scout swiftly paddled off to tell his tribe. On his way
he met two white men to whom he told the secret of Silver
Islet. As the white men neared the lovely isle, the sky grew
dark, a thunderbird screamed, the waters churned to foam
and a mighty upheaval took place as Nanabijou, the giant,
folded his arms and laid down for a long sleep beside the
secret he had guarded for centuries.

Greenmantle was the beautiful daughter of a Thunder
Bay Ojibway Chief. During a raid on the Chief's territory by
the Sioux, Greenmantle was captured. The Sioux forced the
young girl to guide them down the Kaministiquia River to
the Ojibway camp. Pretending to betray her people,
Greenmantle led her enemies in canoes toward the Falls.
At the last moment the brave girl leaped from the canoe and
managed to swim ashore to warn her people. The Sioux in
the lead were washed over the Falls. Those remaining
bypassed the churning cataract to attack but were defeated
by the alerted Ojibway.
Today Greenmantle is commemorated by the beautiful
stone building at the edge of the Falls known as the
Greenmantle Tower.

�OUR HISTORY FROM THE DAYS
OF THE VOYAGEUR
The famous French explorers Radisson and Groseilliers were
the first white men to explore the north shore of Lake
Superior in 1659. Missionaries and traders soon followed
in the wake of their wilderness thrust. Daniel Greysolon
Sieur du Lhut (founder of Duluth) built the first trading
post in 1678 on the south bank of the Kaministiquia River
near its mouth which he called Fort Caministigoyan. The
fort flourished for a few years and then fell into disuse.
It was rebuilt across the river on Island No. 1 in 1717 ::rnd
was operated until 1758, the end of the French Regime
in Canada.
La Verendrye wintered in the fort in 1731 before discovering
a new route westward through Pigeon River and Grand
Portage. Fort Kaministiquia was acquired in 1803 by the
Northwest Company and called the "New Fort."
In the summer of 1807 the fort was changed to "Fort
First Construction Engine Arrived 1876

William," named after the governor of the company,
William McGillivary. A small settlement four miles to the
north of Fort William was established in 1857 known as
The Station. Prospectors, working out of the Station,
discovered the Silver Islet mines in 1868. Colonel Sir Garnet
Wolseley, before leading his troops westward, renamed
The Station, Prince Arthur's Landing, in honour of
Prince Arthur, son of Queen Victoria. Villagers changed
the name to Port Arthur in 1884 when it was incorporated
as a town. In was from Port Arthur that Simon J. Dawson
surveyed his now famous Dawson Trail to the Red River
settlement.
In the vanguard of communities experimenting with electricity,
the Lakehead was recognized as one of the first in
North America to have an electric street railway system in
1888.
Today, the Lakehead has a population in excess of 109,000.

Tl1ree hundred years ago the fur traders in their frail
birch bark canoes inaugurated shipping at the Canadian Lakehead.
Today, grain ships from the seven seas of the world and
the Great Lakes trade at the port. Here you will see modern
vessels from Europe or the United Kingdom bringing in cargoes of general merchandise destined for the West, and returning with golden grain. Huge lake freighters take on fantastically large cargoes of grain-up to a million bushelsin a few hours. Sturdy ore carriers take on iron ore for shipment to hungry blast furnaces. An average of 1,500 vessels
each year come to the Lakehead.
Guarded by the Sleeping Giant, the Lakehead enjoys a
natural land-locked harbour. Here in this protected shelter
has grown the third largest port in Canada, shipping an average of 17 million tons of grain, iron ore, pulpwood, newsprint
and general package cargo a year.
As Canadian Western Terminus of the Seaway, this port
will continue to expand.

�ROCKHOUNDS .. .
Rockhounds quickly discover Ontario, Canada, to be one
of the best collecting areas in North America. Most of the
mineral collecting in the Lake Superior area is found along
Highway No. 17. Here you can find everything from Almandine
to Zonotlite.
It is a simple matter to plan your rock collecting trip
around the north of Lake Superior. Begin by ordering geological circular Number 10 from Ontario Department of Mines,
179 S. Algoma Street, Port Arthur, Ontario (only one dollar).
This superb booklet prepared by E. G. Pye, is crammed full of
actual photographs, locations and all the dope you will need
to find the minerals you are after.
Many good agates have been' found along scenic highway
No. 17 between Fort William and Rossport. Should you prefer
to buy amethyst crystals you can obtain direction at most
tourist bureaus.
Near Marathon, Ontario, lie such rocks as the beautiful
iridescent and opalescent larvikite. A scant one hour's drive
from Marathon will take you to Manitouwadge, an area rich
in lead, zinc and copper. Since the mines are active, you can
write to Geco Limited for permission to visit the dumps.
