up Their Jim River Run to go
on Western Extension.

BY the extension OF the Chicago,
Milwaukee s. st. Paul road from the
Missouri river west of Aberdeen to
the Pacific coast, two of the oldtime
engineers will give up their run on
the James river division of that
system These two olotimers are
George S. Perry and Henry Noble.
For about twenty-five years Messrs.
Perry and Noble have been running
on the Jim river division between
Mitchell and Aberdeen, and at one
time they Wer4 both residents of
Nitchell, but they moved to Aher-
deem about fifteen Years ago when
a change was made in their run
which caused their longest layoycr
to be at the latter place.
In point of service they are the
oldest engineers on that division and
as a consequence they lave the
privilege OF making their choice of
new runs when any are offered. With
the completion OF the western Pacific
coast extension Of the Milwaukee
these old engineers will be given the
cream of the passenger run on the
coast division. Both are very
popular men on the road and it is
doubtful ii two more careful and
conservative men can be found on
the entire system than they. When
they were residents--oi Mitchell they
we're highly respected and it was a
matter of much regret on the part
of their many friends that they had

questionable Iight-it being for
school purposes. In the morning
hours not very many women voted
but they came out in goodly numbers
during The afternoon.
