To be older than th United States, government to have been a toddling Infant when .Wash ington was Inaugurated president In the eighteenth, century and to walk erect in full possession of her faculties under Roosevelt's administration in the twen tieth century, to nave wunessea ail me stirring events, of a wonder-working century, to have survived out -of ths old time Into ours, has been the good for tune of Mrs. Mary Ramsey Woods of HUJsboro. Oregon, who is probably th oldest womsn in the world. In her USth year Mr. Woods Is still quite active. Dally ah walks about th garden of her daughter's home, with whom sh lives, and sits upon ths porch in sunny weather to . converse with visitors. Sh keeps well posted on the events of the day and maintains a lively Interest In politics. Mrs. Woods was born on May 10. 1717. at Knoxvllle. Tennessee,, th year that th Northwest Territory was organised. and two years' before the United Ststes constitution went Into effect Her maiden nam was Ramsay and bar father burned the brick and built th first brick structure In Knoxvllle. She I 1 years old when Tennessee was admitted as -a state and II yars old whan Lewis and Clark made their fa mous Journey to ths coast. At an early age Mary Ramsey mar ried Jscob Lemons and was left a widow 71 years ago. at th time that Andrew Jackson was nearlng the end of his first term as president. As a young matron ah distinctly remembers the war of Hit, -whan her - father strapped his blankets aorosa his shoulders, -took down EVERY CABOOSE IS L Trainmen Go' Heavily Armed for - Fear of Attacks by Ignorant and Impetuous Creeks. FALSE SIGNALS THE CAUSE OF ANXIETY Engineers and Brakemen Say Greeks Are Ignorant and Unreliable and That Railroad Company Is Backing Them in Controversy. InTsstlgatlon of ths troubles btwn Qrssk section nanus -snd tbs Southern Pacific trainman at Gladbroofc bars rs aaled ths startling fact that crsry ca boose is an arsenal, and that svery freight brakeman and englneman on the road wears a 44-eallbre Colt's rsvolrer strapped to bts body. - The train crews fully ballets. It Is said, that their Urn ars In constant danger from the excitable and Ignorant Oreeks, and hare for some time been taking itwt precaution to defend them satres In any emergency that may arise. Demonstrations that hare a trend to ward murder arise from trivial caases; rocks are thrown unexpectedly; shots are fired at Inanimate objects that may at an unexpected moment hare a living mark for substitute., It Is said a loco motive has been "shot up" by mad Oreeks within a year, and that false signals from Greek construction gangs have been gtvea engineers of approach ing trains. ' Tales are told of many mistaken sig nals glren by Ignorant Greeks sent out from construction gangs to Bag trains approaching pieces' of track under con struction er - repair. The enginemen hate snd fear the Oreeks becsus of their Ignorant blundering in these cases, sad are sot always careful when they switch ears or run in npoa sidings where there are ears containing Greek camp outfits. Sometimes a- section gang car la bumped pretty hard, aad a atove knocked over. Not long ago a train crew was switching an a siding at Rid dle, and a Greek section hsnd who stood on a flatcar was bumped off and killed. The entire train crew, being, unarmed, took to the woods, expecting sa tm me tis te attack from the Infuriated cons- pat riots of the dead Greek. . Tea couldn't make that oreeg ait down, anlesa yoi chained Kim down. He knew we were switching, and yet be would stand up on th car and be bowled over under the wheels at the first chance for an accident, said an engineer oa toe Roeeburg-Ashlaad run yesterday. - The trouble with them Is that they are excitable,. Impetuous, hopelessly Ig norant and wholly unreliable. VThen one of thee fellows at work ea con struction is sent bark to flag a train be may have received the most positive and careful Instructions from hi foremen, and In 'tflne .eases out sf tsn he will give hla signals wrong, and place an engineer la the trying position of be fog "damned if be does snd damned if be dpsea't' atop his train.

" - After the death of her husband sh accompalned her daughter, - Mrs. C B. Bouthworth. and her husband across th plain to Oregon, arriving in HlUaboro in 1161. , Sh was then year old. but rod a bay mar th entire distance from Tennessee, her daughter and her busbsnd driving an ox team. Soon, after arriving In Hillsboro Mrs. Lemon married John Woods, with whom she lived happily for many years. At Hillsboro shs built th first hotel, which occupied th ait of th opera houss now being constructed. The couple ran th hotel until 40 years ago, whan her daughter, Mrs. C. B. Reynolds, formerly Mrs. Bouthworth, snd her only surviving child,' succeeded her in Its management Mrs, Woods had four children by her first husband Mary J. Lemons, who died in Tennessee two years ago at the age of 08; Isaac Lemons, who died In Kansas City, Missouri. 40 years ago; Nancy E. Bullock, who died at Hills boro 88 years sgo, and Mrs: C B. Ram sey, who Is now living In Hillsboro, and while 75. year of age. Is devoting her life to the care of her aged parent - Mrd. Woods weighs 180 pounds, dresses and car for herself and walks sbout th yard and th house. Sh la hard of hearing and blind in one eye, but otherwise hala snd hearty. Sh 1 able to thread a needle and does much sawing. - About six months ago ah cut a tooth. , Hsr memory Is good as to past events. ' Sh became a member of the Methodist Church South 101 years ago and la still a member of thst church. She saya ahe is a "Hearst" woman and refers Jokingly to th "Black Republicans." .- his stnnt Trom the wrong aide of the track, and had two torpedoes instead of one. -we never knew what they were anving at, and always have to atop any how, and find out. to be sura of the safety of our train. "What we fear and regret moat Is the attitude of soma of the railroad offi cials and attorneys In ths grand Jury Investigations at Gladbrook." continued the engineer. "Trainmen are beginning to believe that ths railroad company Is backing up ths Greeks. We are certain that a Greek shot killed the foremen's wife at the Gladbrook riot If the man who committed the deed la not found out and punished, and the whole affair Is allowed to go by default, these Oreeks will feel at liberty In the future to shoot at ua on any occasion when they Deiieve tney hare been molested. BIDS OPENED FOR WEBSTER REPAIRS I V Bids for extensive repairs on the fer ryboat Lionel R, Webster wera opened In County Clerk Prank 8. Fields' offlcs this morning. Only two proposals were receired.

County Judge U n. .Web ster and Commissioners Ughtner and Barnes objected to It. At first the coun ty refused the craft, but numerous Im provements were made and the boat was accepted. After It had been in opera tion for some time the United States steamboat Inspectors noted that the Webster acted In all sorts oft-queer ways while It was In operation, and they made a few voyages on the vessel. It waa soon found out that many more al teration would have to be made. The Webster operates below the old ferry route of the si a son. and has been la service about IS months. - SOUVENIR MEMORIALS.
