been
to

acquired
most
of
his
eminence
as
a
world
figure
In
finance
when
he
was
well
past
60
years.
When
over

near

in

He
studied
in
an
elementary
way
as
an
engineer
and
came
to
Canada
when
19
years
of
age.
He
had
only

In

a

work
In
connection
with
a
rail
way
to
a
lumber
camp
in
Halibur-
ton
County,
Ontario.
It
is
said
that
Holt
at
first
worked
as
a
laborer.
His
promotion
soon
came
as
he
proved
himself
capable
of
handling
men.
Ross
liked

Holt
formed
a
friendship
which
was
to
have
important
develop

He
met

who
obtained
a
timber
contract
from
him.

joining
them.
Holt's
reputation
as
a
railroad
constructor
was
firmly
established
by
the
Credit
Valley
Contract
and
when
in
.the
middle
eighties
Ross
took
over
the
task
of
building
parts
of
the
prairie
and
British
Columbia
sections
of
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway
his
younti:
superintendent
was
placed
in
charge
of
the
work.
Holt
later
struck
out
for
himself
and
under
his
direction
stretches
of
the
CP,
R.
in
Quebec,
Maine
and
New
Brunswick
were
built.
Holt
was
one
of
the
group
who
witnessed
me
nistoric
ceremony
of
driving
the
last
snike
In
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway
by
Sir
Donald
Smith,
subsequently
Lord
Holt
also
constructed
railways
In
the
United
States
and
was
a
pioneer
constructor
In
South
America.
He
built
a
line
over
the
Andes,
after
covering
the
whole
ground
with
a
surveying
party
on
muleback,
as
arduous
a
task
as
any
explorer
ever
undertook.
With
a
comfortable
fortune
already
accumulated
Herbert
Holt
settled
down
in
Montreal
In
1901.
He
Interested

His

engaged
in
a
fight
for
the
con
trol
of
the
concern
with
Its
pres

and
won
out.
Then
began
the
series
of
develop

and
mergers
from
which
emerged
the
Montreal

Co.
Today
this

He

and
his
suggestion
was

He
also
outlined

As
it
was
