A living link with the early days of railroading on Edward Island is Mr. George A. Bug . who recently celebrated his th birthday at his home in Charlotte-

wn.

Born at Georgetown. P. I. I.. June 26, 1866. Mr. I-rushes, following his early education at the rural school in his native town and at the Commercial College in Charlotte- town. undertook to learn. to be a

' ” operator at Georgetown

. at the'ege of fifteen.

A year later. in 1872. he be- came a. relief operator for the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company. and was oper- ator at the Island end. at Carle- ton Read. now Cape 'n-averse. of the first submarine cable in North America laid across the strait of Nortiuimherlend. The other end was at Cape Turmentine in New Brunswic', a ”ance of approxi- mately nine miles,

In November. 1874, he joined the Prince Edward Island Railway as atolegraph operator. but railway operations closed down for the winter due to the fact that the railway line could not be kept open on account of snow, there be- ing insuffioient snow lighting equipment.

In the spring of 1876 .s. perman- ent staff was organised to operate the Prince Edward Island railway and Mr. Hughes became a. relief operator and train baggageman. When riding on the train he would send in wire reports from stations where no operator was employed or cut in on the wire when this was necessary. His work also oc- casioned his having to install and set up telegraph instruments at stations.

Operated First Telephone

In 1876 he was appointed agent and operator at o'Isaary and short- ly afterwards transferred to Hun- tar River. Four years later he be- came a train despatcher at Char- lottetown and as such operated the first telephone on Prince Edward Island which had been in- stalled in the despstching office.

Following a break in service from August, 1&1, to December. 1896. Mr. Hughes -was re-employed as a freight clerk at Georgetown. and became successively assistant train despatcher and chief des- pstchor at Charlottetown. retiring in August 1923.

Comme ”.g upon the weather, Mr. Hughes stated that up to and including the winter of 1928-24 snow would arrive about Novem- ber 30th and by the middle of the winter there would befrom five to twenty-five feet of snow. and sometimes thirty-five feet in the cuttings.

At the time of his retirement Mr. Hughes had forty-two years of railway service to his credit and was presented with the Imperial service Medal in r of his

al being awarded by His Medesty the King to former employees of the Canadian Government Rail- ways. In Aim-ii. less. he was pre- sented with a. life membership in the order of Railroad Telegraph- on, having completed forty-five years of continuous membership, and in June. me, was made a Life member of the Board of Trustees of Trinity United Church in Chu- lottetown.

Treasured Documents

one of the requirements of em- ployment with the Canadian Government Railways, the Prince Eldward Island with the Inter- colonial Railway being known col- lectively by that name at a. later date, was the taking of the oath of allegiance. Mr. Hughes has in his -, session the oath he took on February 13. lbol, before a Justice of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island. These raiivways are now incorporated in the Canadian National Railway system.

During the course of his career some of the duties which had to be performed by Mr. Hughes was the distribution of tourist litera- ture issued by the railway, and also of timetables. He has in his possession some of these old time- tables. which also contained tourist iu' stion. one is dated December 1899 and river a list of hotels with prices. These tamed from use to szso a day and from s3.00 to 810.50 a week!

Despite his advanced years, Mr. Hughes is hale and hearty and takes a keen interest both in cur- rent events and in recalling the pioneer days of railroading in this Province, of which he is the sole suvivor. over and above his re- markable record in this connection. he has set an example of exemp- lary citizenship, friendliness and courtesy which have won him the
