The electors paid a tribute to Mr. Scott's ability and energy by giving him the largest majority ever recorded in a Mayoralty contest in that city. It is interesting to learn that Mr. Scott is an Ontario boy. He was born in the city of Strat-. Mr. J. G. Scott, Manager Pacific Coast Lumber Company and Mayor of New Westminster, B. C. ford, Ont., on December 23rd, i860. His first experience in the lumber business was with the Medonte Lumber Company, in Simcoe County. In partnership with his brother, Mr. A. A. Scott, now of the firm of Cooke & Scott, of McGregor, Ont., he purchased the business of the above- named company. Their timber supply becoming exhausted, the subject of our sketch, following the advice of Horace Greeley, went to British Col- umbia in 1891. After investigating the timber supply and market prospects, he became con- vinced that there was a bright future for the lum- ber trade of that province, and the result was the formation of the Pacific Coast Lumber Company, with Mr. W. J. Sheppard, of the Georgian Bay Lumber Company, Waubaushene, as president, and Mr. Scott as general manager. The history of the company since its formation has been one of continued success. The mills of the company arelocatedonthe Fraserriver atNewWestminster, and the product manufactured is red cedar lum- ber and shingles. Their business, confined at present to a car trade with Manitoba and Ontario, has been steadily developing, and it is understood to be their intention to erect an extensive plant at Vancouver. M
