190138770Winnipeg 1901. 4to. 10pp. and 43pp. respectively plus 31pp. of additional tables of customs schedules and weight of merchandise through Vladivostock. Early grey cloth upper cover lettered in gilt.<br/> <br/>An interesting contemporary account of the Trans-Siberian Railroad by an important Canadian railroad executive.<br/> <br/>"After a short career with a Scottish railway William Whyte emigrated to the Canadas in 1863 and accepted a job as a brakeman on the Grand Trunk Railway. Rising through the ranks he served as freight and station agent at various locations culminating his career with the company as the assistant superintendent of its central division. In October 1883 he moved to the Ontario and Quebec Railway as its general superintendent and a year later when this company was leased in perpetuity to the Canadian Pacific Railway he became the superintendent of the Ontario division. In 1886 he was transferred to Winnipeg as the superintendent of the CPR's western division . In 1901 Shaughnessy who had succeeded Sir William Cornelius Van Horne as president of the CPR in 1899 appointed Whyte his assistant to advise him on 'all matters connected with colonization proposed extensions of the Companys railway system the development of industries along the Companys lines the establishment of new business connections and the administration of the Companys lands town-sites and other properties of that description.' In 1903 Whyte was elected second vice-president in charge of the western lines. He was promoted vice-president in 1910. Whyte's most pressing problem from 1901 was to solve the recurrent blockages hampering the export of grain from the prairies. Under his direction the company constructed nearly 4000 miles of branch lines within a decade multiplied its rolling stock and experimented with ever-larger locomotives" Dictionary of Canadian Biography. The primary reason for this trip would appear to be to ascertain whether the Trans-Siberian railway would make Siberia a significant competitor to Canada's grain exports. Focusing on Siberia Whyte's epistolary reports goes into great detail on the route from Cheliabinsk to Vladivostock the agricultural prospects and natural resources along the way with a particular emphasis on Irkutsk and the articles imported. Much of his information came from first-hand examination as well as conversations with government officials and local merchants. He also comments on the construction of the railroad itself. unknown books

40617The eighth wealthiest American of all time was a German-born lumber magnate who began his empire in Rock Island Illinois in 1856 starting as a night fireman at a sawmill and working his way up until he owned this sawmill then began adding more until the "Weyerhauser Syndicate" was enormous; he moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1900 where the firm still operates and is the world's largest timber seller. Partly-Printed Document Signed 1p 8 3/4" X 3 3/4" Rock Island IL 1881 November 15. Very good. Ornate check drawn on the Peoples National Bank printed in black on blue stock and featuring decorative border a variety of ornate typefaces and a steel-engraved vignette at left showing a puffing locomotive at a train station. The check has been made out to Weyerhaeuser in the amount of $25000 and is signed by the bank president Bailey Davenport. Davenport 1823-90 was the son of Davenport Iowa's murdered founding father fur trader/Indian agent/frontiersman Colonel George Davenport 1783-1845 and was himself a wealthy banker real estate entrepreneur and mayor of Davenport during the Civil War. On the check's verso Weyerhaeuser signs boldly adding "pat to the Order / of H C Putnam" above. Below this Putnam then signs. Henry Cleveland Putnam 1832-1912 was a Wisconsin lumber baron and philanthropist one of the founders of Eau Claire. Three more unidentified persons also sign below Putnam. Twenty-five thousand dollars was a huge sum of money in 1881. Real estate developer Davenport and Weyerhaeuser who also served on the board of directors of this bank surely had many and complex business dealings -- as Weyerhaeuser likewise also had with fellow lumber baron Putnam. Weyerhaeuser's syndicate was vast and he had arrangements with a large number of other lumber businesses. It's possible the transaction had to do with the purchase of timber lands but this warrants further research. In any case a unique and intriguing document. unknown books
