Bank
Royal Bank of
Canada
Harry A. Westergaard- Manager 1905-1927
from 1905 to
1918 the royal Bank building
was the Northern Crown
Bank.
It closed in 1932 and the building was moved
to River Park in Estevan and used as a hotel there.
CPR Pumphouse and Water Pipeline
the CPR Steam
Locomotives needed lots of water
to keep them running
So every so often they had to install pipelines
to a CPR Pumphouse on the Souris River.
The one from Macoun ran SW,
from NE Section 22, Tsp 4, Rge 10, W2
to NE Section 30, Tsp 3, Rge 10, W2
Of course all of this changed when
Rafferty dam went in.
This whole area would be under water now.
