A good program was ren dered and enjoyed by all. The Literary at Fairview on Satur day night affords good opportunity for the young people, the girls as well as the boys to take part in the debate, for it is this training that is quite essential in one's education.

West's Assistant. There is a little lady up in Oiegon who 1b playing smash. Her name miss rem hoods. SJie Dcgan as a stenosranher and law student; she graduated us a Hteuogpher and also was admitted to the bar. Her tutor was aeked one day what he knew about that little girl of light brown hair in bis law class. He replied "Ihe one with glasses?" "Yea." He continued, "I don't recall her name, but she is one of the brightest students in the class. She knows more law now than half the lawyers in Portland." When Oswald West was elected governor and shortly before tha time lor him to take office he asked Jndize Pipes, the law tutor, where he could get a private stenorgapher. The answer was, "I know a girl who would fill the bill in every particuar ' He lent for Miss Hobbg and intro duned her to the Governor, and the day he took the oath of office, in January, 19 1 1 , she became his seore tary. Soon after she was admitted to the bar and ever since has been mote than half sovernor. When any thing was too much for the governor to handle he letf town and left it to Mies Hobbs. He sent her tc Washington as a missionary to convert Congress to the notion that it ought to aojust a num ber of tangles between the states and the national government in connection with the title to public lands. No woman was eyer tent on a mission like that before, It generally falls uDon a hieh-oriced attorney . When she reached Washington she at once conferred with Senators Chamberlain and Lane of her own state and arranged for conferences with Secretary of the Interior Lane and the coneressional committee, with which she would have to deal. Of her the St. Louis Post-Dispatoh says: "Miss Hobbs' salary as the Governor's private secretary is three thousand dollars a year. She was appointed to that place last Jnne, having previously been the Governor's stenograher. In addition to being one of the higest salaried women in the public service. Miss Hobbs can lay claim to another distinction for one of her position youth. No other woman and probably but few men has attained such an important posi tion in the course of twenty seven year, which is her age. She is de cidedly a self made woman, having fought her way Up the ladder of suc cess carrying burdens at times that would have discouraged a less deter mined person. A few days after she took her new position as private sec retary to Governor West, she was ad mitted to the practice of law, after having first graduated from the law department of Willamette University She is young, girlish and a jolly com panion. There is nothing long-faced or 'old maidish sbcut her. She is pretty and is popular at the Oregon canital. She is one of the "boys and bv her close fiiends is called 'Hobbs' without any prefix." Now comes the part which is of particular interest here. She was born in Nebraska and at the age of six her parents moved to Salt Lake City, where she lived for twelve years and finished her course at school Ihe girl lived here fwelva years, which possibly accounts for her ex ceptional brightness, and it is only fair to say for the benefit of the out side public that Salt Lake Is filled with just such girls as that. They are not quite all just like her in one respect, because as she said one day "Some of my girl friends asked me what am I going to do with all my salary. I am not going to spend it on clothes and a eood time it is going to pav the u.nrtosge. When that is out of the way then I will be free to do as I please. " From the little we hive obsered we think some of our Salt Lake g'rls would buy the clothes first and see to the mortgage later, because mortgages are lasting things, while clothes for a young indy are like a ship, which the sailors say, is always in need of more or less repairs. But we are convinced that almost any of our bright Salt Lake girls would be called a wonder li they moved to Oregon, because those web-footers, while strong and straight, are a little bit erode. We are glad that a Salt Lake girl that was is np there giving them pointers. We think Oregon apples have a little better flavor than Utah apples, bnt there is not balf tha flavor in an Oregon girl that there Is in a genuine Salt Lake girl, and hence when the Oregon governor decided to take "Hobbs' choice" ba "builded better than he knew" and "strucs a bonanza."
