| SIR JOSEPH WILLIAM TRUTCH

The first lieutenant-goveror

a province of Canada, Sir Jas-
eph Trutch, almost missed his
entrance into public life hbe-
cause he was too successful in
private life,

He was a British civil engin-
eer, born in Somersetshire in
1826, and was in Jamaica when
he heard the call of the west.
Tt topk him to ‘California, a
place he disliked, and to Ore-
gon, which he liked, and there
was matried. Construction work
took him back to [linois, but
in 1859 he came te Victoria
where he won the task of
building Alexandra: Suspension

Bridge over the Fraser at Spuz- |

zum and part of the road from
Yale to Cariboo,
Trutch was a logical choice as

Commissioner of Lands and
Works and Surveyor-General
but. Governor Frederick Sey-
mour hesitated in the appoint-
ment, Seymour wrote. to Lon-
don in 1864 pointing out’ that
Trutch for six more years
would continue ‘to collect _ his
tolls on bridges he frad built.
Alexandra Bridge alone
brought £4,000 a year. Ii, as
land commisstoner, he: allowed
one of the many portages of the
fraser to become impassible,
all the traffic would go to his
bridges, tripling his private
income. Seymour finally made
the appointment on condition
that Trutch sell his interests.
Once in office, Trutch  con-
tinued his career as a builder,
became a member of the exec-
utive council, was a delegate in
1870 to the Ottawa talks which
led to our entry in Confedera-
tion and in 1871 was appointed
Tieutenant-governor,. succeeding
five colonial governors. He re-
tired in 1876,.was knighted in
1888 . and died. An. - England’ ain
