=Cane, James Gilbert=, 97 Delaware Ave., Toronto, and one of the best known business men of that city, was born at Weston, Ont., the son of Martin and Nancy (Morrison) Cane. He was educated at Weston Grammar School, and as a youth had a thorough business training. Subsequently he engaged in the wholesale lumber business on his own account and built up one of the most extensive connections in Toronto. As a young man he took an active interest in military matters and enlisted in the Royal Grenadiers. As a member of that famous regiment he served in the North-West Rebellion of 1885. He was present at the actions of Fish Creek and Batoche, and was awarded the medal for that campaign. Subsequently on the formation of the 48th Highlanders of Toronto he became an active member of that battalion. Mr. Cane is a Liberal in politics, though he has never been a violent partizan. At the legislative by-election for North-West Toronto in 1916 when Hon. W. D. McPherson sought re-election, on his elevation to the post of Provincial Secretary, Mr. Cane, on account of his universal popularity was induced to become a sacrifice candidate in order that the party organization might be kept alive. The contest that ensued was one of the cleanest and most courteous ever conducted in Canada, the two candidates being on terms of personal friendship; and Mr. Cane polled a vote that surprised many purely on his personal qualities. Mr. Cane is a Protestant in religion and a member of the Masonic Order. He married Margaret B., daughter of the late Andrew Henderson of Toronto, and has ten children, James M., Donald A., William, Charles, Gordon G., Nellie, Margaret, Annie, Nora and Lillian. Three of his sons, James, William and Charles, saw service with the Canadian army overseas in the great war and won honorable records. * * * * *
