	Mr William Marshall, who has been appointed Superintendent of the Canadian
	Pacific Railway's Telegraph at Toronto, was born at Garden Island, Ontario,
	May 18, 1859. Mr Marshall entered the service of the Dominion Telegraph Company
	at Toronto in 1876 as Assistant in the Stores Department, afterward serving the 
	same company as operator and lineman at St Catharines.  From 1878 until 1880
	he was employed as Foreman of Line Construction by the Canada Mutual Telegraph
	Company, and from 1880 until 1886 by the Western Union Telegraph Company at
	Buffalo, New York.  In 1886, he entered the Canadian Pacific employ at
	Toronto and was soon appointed Inspector for CPR Telegraphs [sic], which
	position he held until 1906, when he was appointed Superintendent of 
	Construction.  His present appointment is thus but a fitting recognition of
	long-continued services, which have always been rendered with complete 
	satisfaction to his employing interests.  Mr Marshall, being a regular attendant
	at the meetings of the Association of Railway Telegraph Superintendents, is
	personally well known in telegraph circles throughout Canada.
