touring through Cuba, the Panama
Canal Zone, Mexico, Florida anG
California, where he spent most OF
his time.
Mr.. La Coste will leave the Twin
Cities in a few days to spend the
summer in northern Maine. Next
fall he contemplates a trip with his
employer to South America.
John La Coste has had a very in
teresting career. For twelve years
he operated trucking business in
st. Paul. While in that business he
supervised the construction Of dikes
at Cairo, Illinois, which incidentally
were the only bikes which held dur
ing the recent flood. During the
period of his trucking and construc-
ton work he did over 100000
worth of road work in the state of
Illinois alone.
In the early days of st. Paul,
John went to work for the pioneer
Magee family, operators of the
pioneer Magee hotel, at one time
one of the Sanity City's leading
hostelries. He worked his way up
from bellman to head waiter and
finally manager of the hotel. He
has been member of the Magee
family" for over 20 years. His
present employer, the last surviv-
ing member of the Magee family,
he serves as chauffeur.
All of the wealthy Magee family
have remembered him in their wills
as each has passed on. Provisions
have been made by the family pro-
viding for Mr.. La Coste's support
during the rest of his life.
One of the strange things about
John, who has been royalty enter
tanned by many friends during his
stop here, is that he remains a
bachelor despite his popularity with
the fair sex.
Among the groups which gave
special affairs for him were the
Sterling Club, of which he has been
long a chief figure, The club gave
him a stag and smoker last week.
Johns, career as a business man
and employee illustrate the value
of making whatever job one has an
outstanding effort and should teach
an excellent lesson to the young
men of this vicinity.
While here Mr.. La Coste renewed
acquaintanceship with his old
friend, Billy Williams, executive
clerk to the governor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today vetoed the
House bill authorizing half million
dollar appropriation for Federal CO.
operation with the State of Okla
homa for construction of a perma-

The Chief Executive pointed out
that the measure failed to provide

at its next session, reconsider the
project with regard to the form it
should properly assumes
AS a friend of Will Rogers, Il am
certain that if he could speak he
would be the last to desire enact
ment of Federal legislation of this
character. 1 am sure that he would
have desired a living memorial
something that would carry joy and
Igladness into the ears of those he
left behind" the President declared.
