Governor Hoch offered the position
of private secretary. to s. c. drummer
according to an announcement madc
at the office of the governor Monday
night.
Mr.. drummer has not yet decided
what he will do with the proposition.
He is waiting to hear from his juno
ton City bank scheme. The chances
are that he will take the job
S. c. drummer is the chairman of
the Republican state committee, and
it is the natural and logical thing that
he should be appointed private Sec
rotary to the governor The salary is
$4,000 a year, which is 5000 more
than the pay given to the bank exam
liners of the state. Mr. drummer was
a bank examiner prior to his election
to the office of chairman of the state
committee This job of bank examin-
er was held open for him during the
campaign, and his place tenn
porarily filled. After the cam
naien he decided not to go back
stating that he desired a class of work
which did not require so much travel
ling about. The politicians at once
began to frame up some new place for
him, and the general impression was
that the governors secretaryship was
the best available place. Governor
Hoch seems to have seen the thing in
the same way.
The governor is beginning to hear
from the Hutchinson reforInatory row
again. Ministers and others at Hutch
inson are writing to him to urge the
reinstatement of Chaplain A. G. Gates
who was discharged Immediately after
the election by Superintendent E E.
Marshall. Marshall and Gates disagreed
about the way the institution should
be Iun, and though Gates had many
friends. the superintendent decided
that he would have to go "for the
good of the institution"
Governor Hoch refuses to mix up in
the affair. He says that the board Of
managers are responsible for the insu-
tuition. and if they do not care to in
terfere with Superintendent Marshall.
he will have nothing to say In the mat
ter The board of managers have ts1s-
tanned Marshall in the discharge Of
several other members of the Gates
faction" and they are likely to sustain
him in the dismissal of Gates Indica-
lions are that Marshall has weeded out
about all the people who were inclined
to make any objection to his way Of
running the school

ENGINEERS WANT
UNIFORM WAGES
Recent Meeting in Ogden at HeaIy
Hotel to Consider the
Proposition.
WEST END MEN SEEK RAISE,
Old Central Pacific Schedule Does Not
Gibe With Scale on q. s.
J.. Proper.

The recent meeting OF locomotive
engineers held at the Healy hotel In Og g.
den for a couple OF days, II is learned.
was for the purpose Of arranging. II
possible, for new uniform schedule
for engineers on the entire system. A
number OF matters were brought I'D
and passed upon which viii be incor-
porated in the letter which Is to be
sent TO General superintendent T.. Buck
ingham Of the Oregon Short Line.
The eight-hour rest order was one OF
the things which occupied considerable
attention and a number OF Instances
cited wherein the men on short runs.
such as between salt Lake and Ogden
and Evanston and Green river, think
there can be another solution. The re-
cent order whereby train crews run
right through to Salt Lake was an.
other but the chief feature was the
schedule Of pay In vogue upon certain
portions Of the system.
Since the Oregon Short Line took
over the Central Pacific for operation
the men on that line have been seeking
to get their pay raised 10 the standard
set on the old Short Line proper.
1t is'not anticipated that there will be
any trouble over the matter. for the
Short Line engineers have the repu-
tation q being very conservative men.
II is on the cards that the questions m
Volved viii be settled on the give and
take order, aud that concessions win be
forthcoming from both sides.
As an Illustration Of the manner In
which the Short Line makes conces-
sions when there Is some justice in the
demands Of the men the following in
stance occurred recently The engineers
made all kinds Of fuss over being re-
quired to take their engines out to the
north yards. and asked that extra
crews be detailed for this work. The
matter was settldl IN short order hy
allowing each engineer one mile each
way for each trip.
