er McLaurin Working Together
90 Strengthen Measure.

Columbia, Sept. 27.-Governor
Manning and Warehouse Commits
sioner McLaurin held lengthey con-
ference in the governors Office a few
days ago, discussing the advantages
OF the state warehouse system and
the legislation necessary to perfect

was given out after the conference.
but it was learned that both Cover
nor Manning and Commissioner Nc

and that there was practically COM

as to what is best to be done in per-

the results of these conferences will
probably be embraced in message
from the governor to the legislature

throttle, William T. Doolittle of Sioux
Falls, an engineer on the Sioux Falls
division of the Omaha and who for he
past twenty years has made frequent
runs into Mitchell, has been placed on
the retired list at his own request. Mr..
Doolittle entered the employ OF the
Omaha road in Sioux City in 1873. Five
years later he piloted the first passen-
ger train into Sioux Falls.
In all MS years Of active service, it
is said, Mr.. Doolittle never was held
responsible for an accident. He has
held high positions in the Masonic
lodge of South DAKOTA. He is a thirty
second degree Mason, a past potente
Shrine, a past grand commander of the
Knights Templars of South Dakota and
a former mayor, alderman and city
council president of Sioux Falls.
He is a life member of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers and or
ganiZed the first division of the order

He moved to Sioux City in 1873, when
that city had about 5000 population
and entered the employ of the Omaha
road. For the past 80 years he has
made his headquarters at Sioux Falls,
