A FRIENDS TRIBUTE.
modest but staunch friend of Mr..
Trigg writes of him thus:
\ A score Of years ago there was a
dreamer who with fine imagination saw
the glory that might be. With indom-
table purpose he determined that what
he had seen in his droaminEs Should
come to pass. Where were low lying
marshes, uncared for fields, there he
willed that labor should find work
and skill its proper use. It mattercd not

fighting. With courage, ruled by high
Intelligence. and with far-reachng in
tent. he directed his energies, and al
most, as by magic what he purpo.et
became a realization. And to-da!
throughout the land and beyond tn
seas the simple name of his believe,
city borne on the gigantic frames o
engines that speed the commerce OF tn
world. bears witness TO the victory tina
he won.
Again he dreamed with the restless
eager dreaming Of a pet child OF scniu.

of his brain, And now he cannot res
