HIGH HON0RS
FOR MAUSAU MAN
III. C. GrOut Wins Toronto Pro-
motion and Becomes General
Supt. of the Ontario District

H. c. Grout, general superintendent
of the Atlantic Division Of the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad, has been pro-
noted to the Toronto Office, where he
will become general superintendent of
the Ontario District. Mr.. Grout will
be succeeded in St. John by ]. M.
Woodman, Montreal, general superin-
tendent of the Quebec District. The
changes become effective Immediately.
Horace Clyde Grout was born in
Wausau, Wisconsin,, on March IA, 1881,
the son of A. H. and Eva l..
(Shaughnessy) Grout, a niece of Lord
Shaughnessy. He was educated at the
Northwestern Military Academy and
University of Wisconsin,; entered
railroading as rodman for the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad in British
Columbia in 1898. From 1899 to/1900
he was instrument man and resident
engineer on the companys staff. In
the latter year he was appointed assis-
tant superintendent in the Office at
Toronto. Mr.. Grout came to st. John
as assistant superintendent of the
Atlantic Division in 1912. In October,
1914, he was promoted to the position
of general superintendent of the At
lantic Division Mr.. Grout married
Miss Mary E. Curley, daughter of
Robert Curley, Cowansville, Quebec,
in 1906. They have son and daugh-
ter.-Saint John, N. B. Globe. april
49,
All of the old friends of Mr.. Grout,
who have watched his rapid rise in
railroad circles with great pride, will
heartily rejoice in his promotion. Mr..
Grout grew to manhood here and it
seems only a few years ago that he
departed for Canada to accept a posi-
ton with the Canadian Pacific. Since
that time his rise has been rapid until
the above high honor has come to him,
and those who know him feel that
there are still higher honors await
ing him.
The Saint John Globe further says
of Hr Grout:
"Mr. Grout this morning expressed
himself as deeply regretfuI that his
call to service in a larger field COM
PEELED severance of relations here,
which he had found most pleasant.
After the committee meeting of
council this morning Mayor Hayes
stated that the departure of General
superintendent Grout would be a big
loss to the city. He had found the
head of the c. P. r. here always most
agreeable and most reasonable, and
referred especially to the signal sue
cess which Mr.. Grout achieved in
dealing with labor matters The mayor
recalled that the general superintend-
ent had been most kindly and con-
siderate in his treatment of the work
ers and that when disputes arose had
conducted his side in so reasonable a
manner that difficulties were over
come which if otherwise handled
might not have developed with such
consistent smoothness.
Personally, the mayor said, he
learned Of Mr.. CIRCUITS promotion with
pleasure in the latter's rapid progress
in the service of the c. P. R., but that
he was sorry st. John would not con-
tinue to have the benefit of Mr.. CIRCUITS
cooperation and assistance"
