         WILMOT G. HAULTAIN.         

         
   Wilmot Gordon Haultain, Registrar of Land Titles, Regina, and Mas-
ter of Titles for the province of Saskatchewan, was born in Peterborough,
Ontario, May 20, 1861, a son of Colonel Frederick William and Helen
(Gordon) Haultain, the former an officer of the Royal Artillery. In
March, 1880, he left Peterborough to take up a homestead in Manitoba.
As farming was not at all to his taste, he left the homestead after a
short time to work on the survey of the Canadian Pacific Railroad in
the Rocky mountains and after the completion of the railway he engaged
in various other kinds of work in order to earn a livelihood. He lived in
Southern Alberta for several years but in the year 1893 he settled down
in Regina and began to read law in a local office and was eventually called
to the bar. Mr. Haultain entered the Land Titles office at Regina in 1901,
as a clerk, and in 1902 was transferred to the Dawson (Yukon) office,
where he worked from January of that year until June, 1904, when he was
transferred back to the Regina Land Titles office as Deputy Registrar and
four years later he was promoted to the post of Registrar and later became
Master of Titles for the province.
  Fraternally Mr. Haultain is a Mason, belonging to the Mounted Police
Lodge, A. F. & A. M. He is likewise a member of the Assiniboia Club and
for several years was president of the Children's Aid Society of Regina.
