of Ottawa, owner of one of the world's
most extensive lumber businesses and one
of the Dominion's most picturesque living
nation builders.
"What Is the best time to Interview
Mr. Booth- recently asked a newspaper
man of one of the lumber king's clerical
staff.
"In the morning early." was the re
ply. "What do you call early; 10 o'clock"
The clerk smiled. "If you want to make
certain of seeing him." he answered, "you
should be here shortly after t o'clock,
before he starts on a tour of the yards."
The caller made a rapid mental calcu
lation. "Why." he said, "he Is now
over 8u years of age; and you tell me he
starts his work so early?"
"Come and see," was the laconic an
swer. The visitor adopted the suggestion,
found It a good one. Interviewed Mr.
Booth as the latter, passing energetically
from branch to branch of his vast estab
lishment on the Ottawa River, gave or
ders here and there to foremen and su
pervisors, and went away tired and won
dering whether If he lived to bo 80
years he would be capable of one-half
the endurance ilr. Booth had displayed
that morning.
As Is the case with practlcaly all the
other prominent living empire builders of
Canada. Mr. Booth "came up" through
his own push and ability. Born In Que
bec province. In 1SZT, the son of a farmer
and himself a farmer until he was come
of age. Mr. Booth left the plow to work
for several years as a carpenter on bridge
construction for the Central Vermont
Railway. As such he got interested In
lumber, and when the opportunity pre
sented Itself he conducted a sawmill for
a private owner. This Job, when, for the
first time, he was practically his own
boas, lasted for a year; at the end of that
period he became his own boas In reality,
renting a little sawmill close to the site
of the wide territory now covered by his
present works.
Disaster met him early, his mill being
burned down a few months after It was
turned over to him. About all he had
left In the world was his determination
to get ahead and become a somebody In
the lumber Industry. Using this asset,
he doggedly established on the ruins of
his first venture the foundations of his
present business, adding to It as the years
went by. surviving fires, the ban of the
lumberman, business depression and diffi
culties of a -like nature with unflinching
determination and unshaken faith In his
ultimate victory. Today the timber lim
its he owns or leases In the provinces of
Ontario and Quebec cover thousands of
square miles, and would make of thera
s'lres a province of no mean size, and the
prod.irts of his mills girdle the world.
Booth's shrewdness and foresight are
proverbial. Some years ago he decided
to branch out Into the paper-making In
dustry on a large scale, having already
been quite successful with a pulp mill,
regarded as not a particularly Important
branch of his works. His new paper mill
just completed and built under hi own
personal supervision Is one of the very
rneM on this continent. To feed It, In
addition to the pulp wood on his timber
limits proper. Mr. Booth Is able to draw
tmiuen.oe quantities of pulpwood from a
concession on the Montreal River. The
risht to cut this pulpwood for a period of
;i years (the land remaining the prop
erty of the government) he obtained
from the Ontario government In open
competition. He staggered the govern
ment and his competitors by bidding a
bonus of fKO.OCO In addition to the ftxed
dues will In the aggregate reach an enor
mous totsl. Wlsacre shook their heads
snd declared that John Booth had at last
made a mistake: now they are beginning
to realise that he knew better than all
tlio other bidders and their experts and
the government put together the richness
of the pulpwood on that concession.
Paper from his mill goes to the United
States In spite of the heavy duty, and
Mr. Booth makes a profit on It too. Part
of his output of lumber goes out In
finished commercial shape from his lum
ber yards at Burlington. Vt.
Up to 1905 Mr. Booth, was a railway
owner as well as a lumber king. The
Canada Atlantic Railway, connecting
Ottawa with Montreal and the New Eng
land states, and the Arnprlor & Parry
Sounds Railway. "Booth's railways"
everybody In Canada called them, with
00 miles of main line and 100 of branches
and sidings, were his, until he sold them
to the Grand Trunk Railway.
For one with world-wide business In
terests, Mr. Booth Is peculiar In one way
he never advertises. This peculiarity
Is a principle with him. Another of his
characteristics often commented upon is
his steadfast refusal to sccept municipal
aid. in tax exemptions of any kind (a
frequent inducement offered by Canadian
municipalities' to get Industrie estab
lished), or In any other form. Even
when in the great Ottawa fires of 1900
and 1S03 his establishment was almost
swept out of existence he maintained this
attitude. In the 60-odd years he has
been in business for himself, the thou
sands of men on his roll have received
their pay promptly on the day It was
due. This. too. Is a principle with him.
In philanthropic work Mr. Booth's bent
Is towards hospitals, and he Is one of
the founders and best supporters of St.
Luke's Hospital, Ottawa. His sons are
actively associated with him In his lum
ber Industry.
"Bill and Dan," Inseparable Empire
Builders.
Two men who are deep In the work
of trying to make Canada "the country
of the 20th century" are William Mac
kenzie and Donald D. Mann. In the
minds of their fellow-countrymen these
men and their works are so Inseparable
that the name of one Is seldom mention
ed without that of the other. "Bill and
Dan" is the familiar term frequently
used by newspapers in references to
them, sometimes good naturedly, often In
bitter criticism; and every Canadian
reader knows who Is meant. The record
of their achievements in empire build
ing Is lengthy, and both are still young
enough to have many years of activity
before them. In the natural course of
things.
Mackenzie comes flrst. but perhaps only
because be Is the senior member of the
firm of Mackenzie, Mann & Co., with its
almost hundredfold lines of Industrial
activity. A man of medium size, slender
build, finely shaped head and face set
off with black hair, mustache, neatly
trimmed whiskers and deep-set, dark
blue eyes, he Is more the successful
medical practitioner In appearance than
a captain of Industry. A Canadian, of
Ontario province nativity, his parents
Highland Scotch farmers, he Is credited
by many with possession of that uncanny
"second sight" which is a marked char
acterization of many Highland families.
As courteous always as Charles M.
Schwab In his demeanor, no matter with
whom be is dealing, and one of Can
ada's most famous financiers, Mr. Mac
kenzie is a fighter in every sense of the
word. Behind his genial bearing there
Is a heart that scorns the thought of
defeat and a Highland temper that some
times breaks the bonds of almost perfect
control. The dream of his life, as it is
that of his chief partner Mann, Is the
completion of the Canadian Northern
Railway (of which he Is president) as a
transcontinental highway, with Its own
ports on tl Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans, and fleets of steamers plying be
tween Canada, and the Old and New
worlds.
In his youth he was a publlo school
teacher, afterwards engaging for a short
time In the lumber business. Even then
his mind ws set on being a railway
king, and that In Canada, which he loves
passionately. He set about realizing his
smbitioa by contracting to build a sec
tion of the Grand Trunk Railway and
was so successful that the Canadian Pa
ciflo Railway gave him many contracts.
At this stage of his career he was a
member of the contracting company, In
cluding Mr. Mann, that built the Cana
dian Pacific Railway's short line through
Maine. Ultimately, with Mr. Mann, he
turned his sttention to the Canadian
Northern Railway.
The early history of this road was
marked by troubles and anxieties that
would have driven most men out of the
field or Into asylums for the Insane. But
not "Bill and Dan," and, as a result, they
have today reached the stage where their
greatest undertaking is practically as
sured of success.
The Canadian Northern Is an amalga
mation of many lines, not a few of which
were prospective until Mackenzie and
Mann took hold, while others had been
constructed and gone Into bankruptcy, or
were running at a loss. In Quebec, On-
tarlo and Nova Scotia, Mackenzie and
Mann bought charters or roads of the
nature mentioned; In Manitoba and other
western provinces, where the present
main line of the Canadian Northern Is,
they did the same thing. Meanwhile,
from provincial and Dominion govern
ments, they secured charters to build the
links that one day will tie their line
together from ocean to ocean. Sneers
and Jibes, .the tolerant laughter of other
financiers and railroad men have moved
them not at any stage of their task to
make their dream a reality.
Mackenzie does the financing for the
road chiefly In Scotland; millions of dol
lars have been furnished by shrewd
Scotch capitalists. He works alone when
he goes abroad for money; no member
of his staff accompanies him; the public
knows nothing of the results until they
read his Interviews, given to the press on
his return.
Though Mackenzie's ability to persuade
the canny moneyed men of Scotland to
back him with their golden hoards has
been proven time and again to be power
ful, were you to see him In public, shy
and retiring, you would probably wonder
how, any man of money could be per
suaded by him to put It Into the Cana
dian Northern. A striking Illustration of
"Bill's" Inability to impress the general
public through a formal or informal talk
occurred at a dinner given a year ago or
so to "Bill and Dan" by the Toronto
Board of Trade to mark the completion
of a new section of the Canadian North
ern. Mr. Mackenzie had prepared a
speech and had it carefully typewritten.
When his turn arrived, he rose, and
started to read his speech, halting,
nervously. In the middle of It he paused.
"This," he said. "Is ten times harder
than building a railway." He laid his
document on the table, made a few com
monplace remarks. In an almost Inaudible
tone, and then, with a smile of ineffable
relief, sat down.
The Canadian Northern Railway now
has in operation about 6000 miles of
road and 2000 more surveyed, but Mac
kenzie shakes his head when the in
quirer, finding out that It had not a
single mile In 1S96. asks how - It has
been done. But while the undertaking
Is his greatest pride, it is not all. He
is- president of the Toronto Street Rail
way Company, of a Brazilian tramway,
light and power company; he has a con
trolling Interest in the existing electric
power transmission line from Niagara
Falls to Toronto; he Is heavily inter
ested In other Canadian street rail
ways and in coal mining companies in
Nova Scotia and is director of a num
ber of loan companies. He dispenses
charity on a large scale, and has many
times declined to be a candidate for
Parliament, though certain of victory.
Lumber Foreman; Hallway Builder.
Like his partner. Donald D. Mann
Is a Canadian of Scottish descent. As
a railway constructor, he is generally
conceded to be without a peer In Can
ada, and. Canadians think, without an
equal on this continent. Mann Is a
big man physically, broad of shoulder,
tall, weighty, slow of movement gen
erally, but when occasion demands he
displays a quickness and agility that
bespeaks the pink of physical condi
tion. If Mackenzie has a reputation
for reticence." Mann is even more re
ticent. Only when occasion demands
does his conversation branch beyond
brief sentences uttered in low tones.
Tet he is a remarkable diplomatist, and
most of the legislation required in con
nection with the Canadian Northern
Railway Is under his direction. If he
had turned his attention to politics
exclusively he probably would be oc
cupying high rank today among the
statesmen of Canada.
Born at Acton, Ontario. In 1853 and
thus four years "Bill's" Junior he had
nothing more than a public-school ed
ucation, combined with ambition and
great physical strength, a the founda
tion for the success he has attained.
In the prime of young manhood, Mr.
Mann, convinced that Canada's West
would afford the greatest opportunity
for young men, went to Manitoba.
There in a short time, after a period
of strenuous manual labor, he became
foreman for a lumber firm. No man
In any of the gangs he directed dis-
. -VT " ' II Paul. At 26 he tm the company's gen- Vl
f
S TOW.;
puted his orders twice. Those were
rough days; lumber gangs are prover
bial fighters. Dan Mann did not have
to use his fists very often, respect for
them was soon established, and his
men admired him, boasted of his prow
ess and worked for him as they could
not be made to work for any one else.
He still possesses the faculty of getting
more work, cheerfully done, out of
those who work for him than any other
big man in Canada, and this, with a
genius for organization, has led largely
to his success.
Mann was three years this side of 30
when he became a sub-contractor on
the building of the Canadian Facino
Railway. Soon thereafter he branched
out as contractor; his success in the
construction of various mountain sec
tions of that road making a great rep
utation for him. But it Is as con
structor of the Canadian Northern Kail
way that Canadians' know him best.
This work Is with him as with his
partner-chum, Mackenzie, the pride of
his heart; the more so that It la all
in Canada, and Mr. Mann Is a great
believer in the "made-ln-Canada" idea.
Mr. Mann has, of course, an intimate
knowledge of all Canadian railways be
sides the Canadian Northern. But would
you like to know anything of railways
real or projected in Panama, Kcuador,
Peru. Chili or China? Mr. Mann could
tell you about them that Is, if he
could be Induced to talk. All those
countries were visited by him prior
to his entering upon the construction
of the Canadian Northern, with a view
to sizing up possibilities in the rail
way contracting line. Governments,
diplomats, capitalists and railway men
were Interviewed by htm. and on rare
occasions real seekers after advice In
respect to those foreign railways can
get from Mr. Mann Information regard
ing them. It is brought right up to
date, too, for he has kept in touch with
the men in those countries who know.
Identified with many of the street rail
way and other enterprises of which his
leading partner Is head or controller, Mr.
Mann does not figure so prominently In
them; he Is too busy with the Canadian
Northern. He dislikes publio functions,
and Is a poor speech-maker. The very
Idea of having to make an address In pub
lic makes him nervous. He seems to like
to do things and say nothing about
them. For instance, within a compara
tively recent period, several Toronto
newspapermen heard that he and his part
ners had acquired a rich Iron mining
property in Northern Ontario and pro
posed to establish big smelting works
there to be reached by a branch lme of
the Canadian Northern. They rushed off
to Interview him. He listened quietly to
what they had to say and then began:
"When we acquired this property about
a year ago." The newspapermen gasped.
Here was a good story and It was a year
old.
Mr. Mann and Mr. Mackenzie both make
their home in Toronto.
From Clerk to President.
For a decade president of the Canadian
Pacific, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, who
was born in Milwaukee 63 years ago, has
been a Canadian railroad power and na
tion builder for over a quarter of a cen
tury. His first Job. after he left the pub
lic schools, was that of clerk in the stock
room of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St.
Paul. At 26 he was the company's gen
eral storekeeper. Three years later. Sir
William Van Home, in search of a compe
tent purchasing agent for his Canadian
Pacific, captured Shaughnessy, carried
him off to Montreal, and made a Cana
dian out of him in time, finally giving
him his own position of president of the
railway. As such he heads an army of
35,000 men, manning a transcontinental
railroad that reaches one-sixth of the way
around the world, with Its own telegraph
system, its own chain of hotels. Its three'
fleets of steamships on the Atlantic, Pa
cific and Great Lakes, and Its immense
tracts of agricultural, forest and mineral
lands In the Canadian Northwest.
It Is almost true of Sir Thomas that
he works all the time. Most of his wak
ing hours his Immediate staff Is generally
gathered about him, and not Infrequently
he leads its members to the railway of
fices for work on Sundays, holidays and
evenings. At such times he generally in
terests himself In investigating the offi
cial records, and it is said of him that no
accountant can conduct a stricter audit
of books. He has even been discovered
going over the books in which his own
office boy keeps track of the stamp ac
count. Securing his first railroad train
ing In the department of supplies, ho
watches like a hawk this branch of his
railroad. When he travels he usually
takes his staff along, and many a letter
has been dictated by him while his secre
tary swayed perilously back and forth In
the aisle.
Sir Thomas' method of managing the
men under him was revealed in part by
him one day not very long ago when he
was standing talking to two friends in the
train shed of the Montreal terminal of
his line. He noticed a man. laden with
two heavy grips, step up and speak to a
tralnhand, stationed a short distance
down the platform. The stranger asked
a question, apparently, for the employe
followed with an offhand wave of a hand
that Indicated at least a half dozen differ
ent locations. Sir Thomas, quickly excus
ing himself to his companions, stepped up
to the man with the grips, and asked him
what he desired to learn. It came out
that he wished to locate a certain train,
soon to pull out. "I will show you to It,"
cheerily responded the Canadian Pacific's
president, as he took one of the man's
grips in his grasp and started ahead with
it. The rebuked tralnhand speedily de
veloped into one of the most polite and
attentive men employed about the ter
minal. Though Sir Thomas is now a good Ca
nadian, he never fails to make a yearly
pilgrimage to his birthplace, thers to
spend a brief vacation with his mother,
when he Is Just plain Tom. It was to his
old father and mother that he sent this
characteristic telegraphic message when
he was knighted: "You may be gratified
to know that His Majesty has conferred
upon me the honor of knighthood. One
owes a great deal to a good father and
mother." It was while he lived and la
bored in Milwaukee that Sir Thomas cul
tivated a liking for a certain game that
Is associated with the West; this liking
he carried with him to Canada, and there
indulges It when railroad matters are
not too pressing or there Is no athletic
contest to watch. For he has a healthy
Irishman's love of the outdoors and
sports.
Laurler the Premier.
Premier of the Dominion since 1896, Sir
Wilfrid Laurler Is said not to have an
enemy In the world, and it is pretty uni
versally conceded in Canada that he has
kept all parties and factions at peace and
greatly Increased the power and re
sources of his country. Frail in physique
and always suffering from the III health
that has been his portion since the days
when he was a struggling lawyer, he yet
is one of the hardest workers among the
high government officials.
Among the French Canadians, of whom
he Is one, he is all but idolized. In il
lustration of this feeling for him anions
a large portion of the Canadian popu
lation, the following story Is told by our
northern friends:
An old French Canadian, on his annual
visit to Montreal, was Informed of the
death of Queen Victoria.
"The Queen dead! And who, then,
rules in England?" exclaimed the simple
minded old fellow.
His Informant explained that the
Prince of Wales had succeeded to the
throne. The habitant's eyes lighted.
"Mon Dleu." he said, softly, "but he
must have a great pull with our Laurler!"
How Sir William Van Horne rose to
his present eminence is fairly familiar to
the average American, as are the ex
ploits of the late Sir Robert G. Reid, In
Newfoundland, who. when he landed on
the Island, found it undeveloped, with
They Wash and Iron the Face
Women Make Acquaintance oX New Youth and Beauty Restorer.
OMEN who traveled .In Germany
last Summer are coming home
with complexions like new. Face,
neck, throat and even the hands and
arme have a fresh youthful appearance.
The fact is that the Germans have in
vented a new kind of bleachery or laun
dry for the face, and this Summer for
the first time it was discovered by Ameri
can women abroad. A woman who vis
ited one of these facial laundries thus
describes her experience.
She passes over the matter of price,
which was high and had to be paid in
advance, together with various extras.
The owner of the beauty shop did her
work with a will and she turns out a
careful and always satisfactory Job.
"I went to this face laundry," says the
American woman, who has Just returned
with a countenance like that of a girl
of IS, "and determined to take the en
tire course of treatment.
"You can have your face merely
scrubbed. In that case you must do
the Ironing at home, for all faces must
be Ironed after they are scrubbed. Or
you can have your face washed and
Ironed in very simple fashion without
coloring or starch. But having been
out In the sun all Summer and exposed
to wind and wave, I wanted it ali.
"This German face laundry was called
by a long and for me wholly impossible
word, which elgnifles that the counte
nance will be elegantly washed and
Ironed here.' I wish to remark that the
sensation arrived mostly when I looked
at myself In the glass afterward and
saw the change in my appearance. I
went Into the shop an old woman and
1 came out of It new.
"The laundry process began in earnest
when I was requested to pin back my
hair and get ready for a face shampoo.
It Is seldom that a woman can really
wash her face because of the waves and
hair dressing that surround It. but this
German woman cared nothing for the
coiffure.
"She brought out a little rubber bath
spray and attaching it to the hot-water
supply began to play the spray upon my
face. 'This Is Just a sort of wetting of
the face," said she. "Then we will put
It to soak for a few minutes. It Is eas
ier to do your laundry work if the ar
ticle has been soaking, you know.'
"A few minutes later I sat in a warm
room with my face buried in hot cloths
Then came the wonderful face scrub
bing for which the German beauty par
lors are famed.
"It Is not such a vigorous scrubbing,
but it is very thorough, far and wide.
There Is nothing like it to be found in
all the world, and that Is probably the
reason why the German beauty treat
ment Is so famous.
"With a big soft brush which had been
well rubbed upon a great cake of soap
the big-armed, soft-handed laundress
went to work. The brush was similar
to none I have ever seen elsewhere, but
I have since found that a man's shav
ing brush answers the purpose nicely. It
should be quite new. well lathered and
used with persistence.
"Ten minutes is not too much to de
vote to the actual scrubbing. Then
comes the little hose which takes oft
the soap and leaves the face clear and
shining.
"The stiffening process comes next.
The facial manipulator took a little cake
of pure white substance which she said
was mutton tallow Just tried out. She
broke it bit by bit Into a little double
boiler. Then as It melted she dropped
in some pure almond oil, stirring well
all the time. In a few minutes she had
a clear white cream. While warm she
began to massage It Into my face.
" 'Your face,' said she. 'is quite firm.
If It had been flabby I would have used
a little pure milk thickened with the
beaten yolk of an eirg and stirred until
like cream. This feeds the skin and
makes it younger In texture. In your
case the skin merely needs manipulat
ing. "If your face had not been the right
color I would have stained it. You
have a slight flush and need no rouge.
" 'If you were too white I would
take some strawberry Juice and boil it
with a few grains of borax and Just
a drop of lemon. This I would rub
Into your cheeks until they . were the
right tone.
" 'Of course I would go slowly, for
It Is possible to make a skin as red as
a poppy with strawberry liquid. I
would work easily, experimenting drop
by drop. I have used quince Juice for
a very yellow skin, and I have also
used crabapple.
" "My worst cases are those that re
quire the potato treatment. I take a
very old and very rlpe P0410 nd 'ay
it in a warm place for a few day. Then
I cut It open lengthwise and lay It In a
warm oven for two or three minutes. It
Is now all starchy upon the surface and
I rub the woman's face with it until
the starch is exhausted.
" "Then I take a fresh slice, keeping
on until the potato is gone. It should
wagon transportation and miserable
mainland connections, and left it with an
up-to-date network of railways and
splendid steamship connections with the
outer world.
It Is Interesting to note that two of
the 33 fathers of Canadian confederation
(186T), and. therefore, real nation hulld
ers, survive. They are Sir Charles Tup

and in retirement, and the Hon. Andrew
Archibald Macdonald. now in his 80th
year, and Senator for the province of
Prince Edward Island.
dry on the face and If possible remain
on for a couple of hours."
"While the woman talked she manip
ulated my face and made the muscles
feel firm. And when It was as shining
and plump as possible she brought out
an electrical contrivance to do the Iron
ing. By experiment since I arrived home
I have found that any ordinary electrio
Iron will do the work. The main point
Is that the iron shall never become too
warm and that its surface shall be per
fectly smooth.
"The lighter the iron the better, and
the one who uses it should learn to bear
on very gently, so that the Iron shall not
injure the skin. The manipulator told
me that spatting with the warm palms
of the hands would do almost as well.
" 'But,' said she, 'few ladies will al
low you to slap them In the face. They
are offended even though they under
stand perfectly that It is part of the
treatment. But if a woman really wants
to iron her face quickly and Inexpen
sively after the washing or laundry
work has been done she can accomplish
the task by face spatting of the vigor
ous kli.d.'
"My skin after the iron had traveled
over It a few times became almost mi
raculously smooth. The laundress ex
plained to me that the heat of the iron
opened the pores and allowed the cream
with which It had been rubbed to sink
into the skin.
'The laundress saw that the effect
would last all day and all night and
probably part of the next day, but that
It would be necessary to repeat It at
least twice a week to make It perma
nent. The first treatment was neces
sarily brief In Its effects. It would soon
fade away, but many successive treat
ments would cure the skin, so to speak.
"There are persons who insist that the
skin shall be olive, shall have a Span
ish hue. The beauty manipulator al
ways objects to the process, but If the
woman on olive beauty Intent Insists,
there Is nothing else to be done.
"The staining of the skin with wal
nut juice is seldom successful for the
reason that the stain is generally too
deep and too gypsylike. The same Is
true of the coffee stains, which leave.
In addition, too strong an aroma of
Mocha".
"Any druggist will stir a little yel
low coloring into a jar of cream and
the home manipulator can massage the
cream into her skin with the assurance
that It will Influence the complexion. The
object Is not to get a deep brown skin,
but one that is delicately olive.
"The finishing touch, in the olive pro
cess. Is obtained by rubbing some bru
nette powder Into the face, after which,
with a little pinching of the cheeks, the
complexion Is typically olive. The skin

With a brush made of the softest kind
of wool my face was dusted until not a
single grain of powder remained upon
the surface. I did not look made up In
