Mr. Way, who was born at Bowmanville in the year of Confederation, commenced his career as telegrapher with the C.P.R. at North Bay, and was later promoted to chief dispatcher at Chapleau, where he remained eleven years, when he became assistant superintendent at Montréal and later at Farnham, Québec. Two years later he left the Canadian Pacific and became identified with the then Grand Trunk Pacific and was stationed at Cochrane for 14 years. Two years ago he succeeded W.
