ABBOTSFORD

Veteran C. P. R. Passenger Man Keures

pe ery-tiva years of service with
the Canadian Pacific Railway,
dating back to the year following
incorporation of the company, were
honored recently in the person of
Frederick O. Hopkins, assistant
general passenger agent of the rail-
way, by the presentation of a gold
watch to him and of a Japanese
ware bronze cloisonne rose jar and
too vases to Mrs. Hopkins, on the
occasion of his retirement from ac-
tive service in the company.

The presentation was made by
©. EB, EB. Ussher, general passenger
traffic manager, in his office and in
the presence of the entire staff of
the department, together with a

\| number

ijof only three members, all

of representatives from
other departments of the C.P.R. Mr.
Ussher, in making the presentation,
said that he did so with mingled
feelings of regret and pleasure —
regret at losing the services of Mr.
Hopkins and pleasure in presiding
at the present ceremony of his offi-
cial leave-taking. Regret, however,
predominated at the thought of sey-
erance after years of association,
though such severance had to come
finally to all.

Mr. Hopkins, in a humorous speech
of anecdotes and personal experi-
ences, recalled the far off days when
the passenger department consisted
under
one management, and when the
to Ottawa was

long excursior- with
through route tc % Win-
nipeg via Ottawa, the capital of the
Dominion, Brockville, Utica, Buffalo,
Chicago and St. Paul. In eleven days
days he would have completed his
45th year with the department, hav-
ing joined on July 11, 1882. He
traced the beginnings of the C.P.R.
when there were no company-owned
lake steamers, no ocean steamships,
no telegraph lines, no express com-
pany, no hotels, 10 through-vesti-
buled trains and no transcontinental
line. He had been practically 45
years in the company’s service, and
he told his audience that if he were
to go on recounting his experiences
he would add another 45 years before
he got through. In thanking the de-
partment for the handsome gift wihh
which they had honored him, he said
that instead of racing with time, he
would now sit back and watch time
go by. He also returned thanks on
behalf of his wife.
