In as much as the Kootenai
country has only one opportunity
now for any representation in
the governmental affairs of the
county, it behooves everyone to
vote for John Donahoe for the leg
islature. How do you feel about
it, electors? Do you want your
section to be utterly without any
voice in the public affairs Of the
county? If not, you should vote
for John Donahoe.

SPENDING THE PEOPLES MONEY.
The HERALD gives below the Off
cial report Of the board of county
commissioners on the 3rd, 4th anc
9TH days Of October. d Will be seer
that the board accomplished abso-
lutely nothing except to rescind an
illegal order previously made. The
commissioners get SIS day and
mileage. What is there to show for
their three days pay and milage in
the subjoined report? This is only
one sample session. They have
trltterd away many a day in just
the same manner at the expense of
county. 1t is charged that when
they get a little hard up they call a
meeting Of the board. Mr.. Pilling
is candidate for reelection. Per-
sonally he is a first rate fellow, but
we do not believe the people desire
him t. be commissioner for two
years longer. He is too expensive
a luxury.
The following is the official
report:

The Oldest Locomotive Engineer,
ALBANY Argus. ]

It will probably be of interest to
know who is the oldest railroad engin-
eer in the United States. The gentle
man who has this honor is G. B. Smith
of Troy. Mr.. Smith is nearly SIS years
of age. He was born on St. Patrick's
day, 1908. He began his labors at the
precocious age of II years being en-
ployed on the Erie Canal, which was
at that time in course of construction.
He continued on that line until 1926.
The primary railroad line IN the United
States was put in operation in 1929, be-
tween Albany and Schenectady, John
Bull was the name of the locomotive
used, and it had been made in England.
John Hampson was its engineer ard
the fireman G. B.
He fired the Johnny Bull until the
first locomotive was builtin the United
States. This was the Dewitt Clinton,
made at Schenectady in 1881. Mr..
Smith was made its engineer. From
that time to the present he has been at
the throttle. He is still an engineer
on the Hudson River road. He has
pulled an engine at seventy-fve miles
an hour, and has been entrusted with
some of the most important runs ever
made on the road. He can talk enter
tainingly on railroad affairs by the
hour. He is still well preserved, and
has clear eye and steady hand. He
has met an army of men in the railroad
world during half century past and
is liked by everybody.

THE Register

President II. A. Strobe, of Clemson
college, has not resigned, several South
Carolina papers to the contrary.
Governor Tillman was seen in his
office yesterday morning and asked if
he had received any notification of the
resignation of Professor Strobe.
"None whatever" was the reply.
The Secretary of State was also seen,
and he also disclaimed any intimation
of such action on the part Of Clemson's
able president.
The Register yesterday afternoon dis
patched query to r. w. Simpson,
chairman of the board of trustees of
the college, and received the following
reply from that gentleman:
president Strobe has just returned
from visit to Virginia, and is in daily
performance of his duties at Fort Hill.
If he has resigned I know nothing of
it.n
While the report, coming asst seemed
with some degree of authority, created
a great deal of surprise, few believed
that the resignation had been rendered.
The story was canard from the
whole cloth.

A Woman Worth S5O,OOO,OOO
| ATLANTA Journal

There is a guest at the Ocean House
who attracts more than ordinary atten-
ton. She is a plainly dressed woman,
whose years are numbered in the six
ties. Her appearance is in no way
striking, but her fame as tinancier is
worldwide. She is Hetty Green, and
her fortune is generally believed to be
s5O,0OO,0O0. Her son Ned" and her
daughter, just out Of her teens, live
with her.
Hetty Green forty years ago was a
Hetty Robinson, a New York belle and
prominent figure in society.
She was beautiful girl, of the pro-
nounced blonde type. Her admirers
were many, and she finally married Z.
II. Green, wealthy member Of the
Union League club. On the death of
her father she came into possession of
$4,000, which by juIic;ous investments,
she has increased to her present fortune.
She has always kept tight grip on her
money, it is said; has kept a detailed
account of the most Insignificant ex-
penditures and has lived principally in
modest boarding houses, although she
owns block after block of real estate in
the principal cities of the Union.
At the Ocean hotel her habits are
simple in the extreme. She is an early
riser and after breakfast reads the New
York morning papers, doubtless scann-
ing the financial columns with trained
eye. Then perhaps she walks on the
beach, goes out into her sons yacht OF
for drive. Not little Of her time she
spends on the shady veranuas chatting
with the guests. 1t is her custom to
run up to the city and see her brokers
two or three times week, and she re-
ceives more letters and kilograms than
any other guest at the Ocean house.
She says she is having pleasant
summer and is glad to be back at Fal
Rockaway after an absence of four sum-
mers. Her first visit to this resort was
made eleven years ago.
Ned Green is pleasant-appearing
young man, in the early thirties. Like
his father, he is physically big map
and N easures over six feet, while the
scales doubtless tremble at 200 pounds
! when he stands on them. He walks
with limp, owing to an accident te
his left leg, sustained while coastine
one winter back in the early seven
ties.

WHO rs RIGHT ABOUT TT?
One Newspaper Thinks that President
Strobe las Resigned, the Other
Says he Hasn't.
lThe, State

1t seems very hard to get any facts
about the rumored resignation of Presi-
dent Strobe of Clemson college. All
efforts in that direction about the State
departments for several days have been
futile, but yesterday the status of af-
fairs that probably caused the resigna-
ton was ascertained.
Governor Tillman, when applied to
as a member of the board of trustees
for Information as to the action of the
board in regard to the president which
was said to have caused the resignation,
referred the representative of The State
to Chairman Simpson, at Pendleton.
Secretary Of State Tindall, another
member of the board was then applied
to. Mr.. Tindall said: "The board found
itself at its last meeting without funds
to carry on any work, and was not
willing to continue Mr.. Strobe whole
year at large salary with nothing to
do, when the other professors had been
elected with view to not draw any
pay until their services were actually
needed. Mr.. Strode's services had
been needed last year to assist in the
work of building and his salary was
saved to the board because it would
have had to employ somo other man to
do the work that the board had re-
CURED of him."
So this is the reason, as given by the
board, for the salary being stopped.
Mr.. Strode's side of the question has
not yet BEEN heard from.
One thing, however, is pretty certain,
the board has no money now to pay
anybody or carry on the work, and all
that is being done at the college is TO
keep the few convicts there occupied.
The agricultural station is kept going
under another appropriation.
Mr.: Tindal says that if President
Strobe has resigned he is not yet aware
of it and intends to write at once and
find out if he has. He does not seem
to doubt that be has.

Respect for Ruth.

ATLANTA, July 15.-The Atlanta
Journal this afternoon prints the fol-
lowing letter received from EX-Presi-
dent Cleveland in answer to request
for a picture Of Baby Ruth for publica-
ton in the Journal, by which it will
be seen that Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
decline to have their baby put on ex-
hibition in the newspapers:
"Replying, in behalf Of Mrs. Cleve-
land to your letter of the 18th instant,

it is impossible for that reason to COM
ply with your request. II is only frank
TO add that if there were any of her
pictures in existence we should not be
willing to have one published in any

to cheek the notoriety which would be
increased by such publication. We

What Will He Say Now

We do not know, OF course, where
Governor Tillman got the information
relative to the coection of the employees
of the South Carolina Railway in polit'
ical matters, which he made public in
his speech at Edgefeld, but if he did
not invent the story and had authority
tor it, he now has an opportunity to
procure the speedy punishment of the
guilty official. The following tele-
graphic dispatch on the subject was
received yesterday aid explains it.
self:
New YORK, July II, 1892.
TO the editor of the News and Cou-
rier: have just seen the report of Gov:
ernor Tillman's speech at Edgefeld in
the Columbia Register of the Sth inst,
where he says:
"Orders have been given the employ
ees of the South Carolina Railway that
if they vote for me they will be dis
charged
I make -,yself responsible for the
orders to the employees of the South
Carolina Railway and state that do
not have the least reason to believeany-
one, high or low, has given such orders
to its employees or indeed any orders
whatever of a political nature. Imake
Governor Tillplan and all men of what
ever party this offer: That if be or they
will show me any evidence of such Or
ders or threats being given or hinted at
by any official of the South Carolina
Railway, I will discharge such official
instantly and finally.
I am not in South Carolina politics,
and no man will be permitted to use
any position he holds under me to CO.
cree or influence voters against or in
favor Of any candidate or political party
or faction.
Respectfully,
~. II. SdAMBEhLAlN,
Receiver South Carolina Railway.
This is a perfectly plain and straight
forward statement. Mr.. Chamberlain
is the Receiver Of the South Carolina
Railway and therefore the highest Off
Ger connected with it. If any such
order as that described by Governor
Tillman had been issued Mr.. Cham
berlain should know of it. He does
not know of any such order, however,
and does not believe that one has been
issued. TO clear up the matter to the
entire satisfaction of all concerned,
however, the Receiver makes the COM
prehensive offer to discharge INSTANTLY
and finally" any official of the road
whom Governor Tillman or anybody
else shall show to have issued such Or
ders, or threats, or even limited at issu-
ing them.
Now let US hear what the Governor
and his frien ds will say. He has made
a plain, unequivocal charge against the
management of the road in question,
the truth of which is peremptorily chal-
lenged. Will he prove he had some
basis or authority for the charge he
made? Or will he dodge and clplain,
or boldly say nothing?
