Salt Lake Paper Speaks In
Praise of Gov. 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." Goodwins Weekly.
