COMPENSATION OF SUPERVISORS.
Attorney General Decides That They Can
Receive Expenses.

Attorney General Carson has
rendered an opinion concerning
the new road law which Is of IN
terest to the officials of every
township IN Fulton county.
The Attorney General hold
that the Supervisors under the
new law may allow themselves
necessary expenses, such as
meals, horse feeds, etc. The opin
ION also asser is that the new law
does not prohibit the Supervisors
from working out their own road
tax with pick and shovel in those
townships where the system is in
vogue. The Attorney General
says:
"As the statute Is silent on the
question of compensation, I am
force1 to the conclusion that the
Legislature did not intend that
the Supervisors elected in accord
ance with the provisions of this
act should receive any compensa.
ten whatever.
The opinion continues with an
explanation that necessary ex-
penses" mentioned IN the act
would include travelling expenses,
cost of meals, horse feed aud such
other compensation of any kind
for the time spent by the super
visors in the discharge of their
duties.
The Attorney General advances
the belief that a supervisor may
work out his road tax under the
word tax system, for the reason
that while he cannot receive COM
pensation for his Official services
it would be unfair to put him IN a
worse position than any of his
neighbors simply because he
holds office. Though he cannot
profit by his official position, he
ought not to lose any of his rights
as taxpayer by reason thereof.
If township abolished work
tax by vote at the February
election 1T will be entitled to re-
ceive the ID per centum of the
amount of road tax collected In
said township for that year. This
15 per centum cinnot be paid
however by the highway commls-
sioner until he has received the
Necessary report which cannot be
furnished him before the sue.
ceeding year because the law con-
templates that the commissioner
of highways shall have at hand
the report as provided for before
he shall draw his warrant but the
preparatory step must have been
taken at the February election to
entitle the township to the State
aid for that year.
Another interesting part of the
opinion is that no member of the
board OF Supervisors should act
or be employed as road master
for any district for the reason
that the compensation would be
fixed by himselfand his colleagues
on the board and this would be a
direct violation of the spirit if n )t
the exact letter of the law and In
case he should insist upon doing
this work he is entitled to COM
pensation for the same.

stories ended with the simple state ment that MT. Corey has wife and three children"
 Then something happened, and the world knew more about Mir. Corey's wife. She went away out to Reno, New, where divorces grow on cactus thorns if you stay there a year, and filed suit for divorce. Prior to this, however, there was much public discussion of Mrs. Corey's proposed suit. ..T .Ths.-name of Miss Mabelle Gilman, a stage wo- man, was brought into the story. It was said that Corey had become in- fatuated with Miss Gilman and that was the occasion of the divorce suit. Then it was said that the affair had been patched up and smoothed over and that the Coreys were reconciled. The story ran the full gamut of specu- lation and conjecture.
 After all. Mrs. Corey did file the suit, and she obtained a decree of divorce. Desertion was the ground offered in evidence. The Gilman affair did not figure officially in court.
 With Mrs. Corey at Reno was Miss

hit on the American and European stage. One night after the theater there was swimming party of Pitts- burg steel magnates and actresses at a natatorium. Corey and Mabelle Gil- man, it is said, were among those present.
 Miss Gilman is now twenty-seven years old. She came from California. She seems to have leaped smack out of the high school and the beribboned diploma into the footlight area. She could sing, and she was pretty: also she could act some. The singing and the prettiness assured her success as a comic opera star. It was not long be- fore she blazed forth resplendentIy. For one thing. Miss Gilman had a re- markedly good press agent. Good looks. a good voice and good press agent are the trinity necessary to the success of soubrette or singer.
 As to the press agent, witness the publication of sundry love letters and much doggerel verse addressed. or sup posed to have been addressed, to Miss Gilman by the crown prince of Siam, named Mana vajiravudh. diminutive. dapper, negro looking youth who was at college in England and who came to America five years ago. It was cur rently reported that the prince had proposed marriage to Miss Gilman. which she did not deny. That was ex- cellent press agent material.

But he did fancy Laura Cook. one of the pretty girls of Braddock, the town where he lived. She, too, was seventeen. The boy and girl got married and set ur housekeeping in little cottage. Corey soon found another job more to his liking, for it gave him chance to study chemistry and metallurgy. Ba- bies came, and the Corey cottage nc doubt was a happy little home. Corey was now in the Carnegie establishment and on the rise. His wifes father left her some money, with which they bought - home. Corey paid attention to his work, and one day he discovered or invented the now famous Carnegie reforged process for steel armor plate revolutionizing the business of plating warships. It made possible a thinner and lighter plate without decreasing i the strength or the resisting force.
 Corey became foreman of the plate mill. then head of the Homestead works and finally reached high water mark at 71 Broadway. In the mean time of course he had become several times a millionaire. His home at Homestead was the finest building there save the Carnegie library. Then he removed to Pittsburg and occupied still finer mansion.

 He has level head" said Mfr. Car negie himself, "and nothing will ever turn it-not even a woman"
 For year or so MT. Corey's career was held up to the American youth as a model for copying.

And think how he started-right at the bottom: worked his own way up; began as a laborer. wheelbarrowing iron ore, and handled three times as much ore as any other man, so they made him fore man. Then his rise was rapid"

Co., rey's father did not hesitate to disagree with Andrew Carnegie-after the test. .-..'The boys head is turned."' the fa- ther was quoted as saying. "He got rich too fast, and this is the result"
 Then the spoilers of success with a dollar mark initial changed their tune. or. rather, they quit piping altogether. Where but few short moons before had swelled the resonant chorus of Corey adulation was now a vast si- lence, so impressive that you could al- most hear it. But the pecking daws got to work.

CCORDING to recent reports, tie
 Corey Gilman wedding is to @ take place shortly in Paris.
 This means that William Ellis Corey, president of the United States Steel corporation, whose wife obtained a divorce few months ago, is going to marry Miss Mabelle Gilman, a former actress and singer. Should the mar riage take place the long expected will happen, and the event will mark the continuation of modern marital affair that has furnished great deal of sen- sational though not highly edifying reading matter.
 The public is interested in this affair chiefly because of the commercial and financial prominence of w. E. Corey. Aside from that, the story would be little more than commonplace. It is Coreys money and his high place in the commercial world, contrasted with his former humble position and his earlier domestic ideas, that give touch of the dramatic to the tale.
 Three years ago a new figure arose above the business horizon and became widely visible. It was Corey-Bill Corey of Homestead, w. Ellis Corey of Pittsburg. MT. Corey of Il Broadway. New York, president of the steel trust. He was only thirty-seven then and had just succeeded Charles NJ. Schwab in that position. MT. Schwab had been acting a little unconventionally. He had gambled at Monte Carlo for one thing. The great Carnegie corporation required more conservative man at

 The directors of the United States Steel corporation. it is understood, took President Corey to task. Andrew Car negie is said to have taken the young man aside and given him half an hours fatherly admonitlon. Those who had congratulated the steel trust on getting president more level headed than Schwab smiled sickly smiles. For a long time there was general belief that Corey would have to resign the presidency of the steel trust, by in- vitation. and some authorities went So far as to name his successor.
 Two facts, howe CT. seem to be pat ent-Mr. Corey is still president oi the United States Steel corporation. and he is going to marry Mabelle Gil- man if reports can be credited.

Say They DO NSt Receive Fun Credit
for Ore They Ship.
A miner contributes the follow
ing article to the Grangeville
Free Press:
1t is amusing to the men who
produce the gold bullion of this
district to read of the effort being
made by Mr.. Joseph Pinkham, of
Boise, to have the shipments
made to the assay office at that
city, in as much as through past
experiences there have been
some very unsatisfactory returns
made which is the cause of the
larger shipments being made to
other assay offices in different
parts of the United States. One
instance in particular may be ex-
planned when in a quantity Of
bullion melted from the same
cleanup, retorted in the same
retort and moulded in two sepa-
rate bricks, gave returns of
$16.10 and $16.88 per ounce.
Similar cases have caused humid
reds of thousands of dollars to be
sent to other states. At the Wis
consin office, where a large ship
ment is made each year, there
are better returns than the Boise
office ever gave. Colorado and
California give from IL to %
cents better values than Idaho,
and why should not the miner
send his bullion to the best
market? The former, assayer at
Boise city always gave miners
the true values of his bullion, but
he was removed from office for
political reasons and the miner
was not long in learning the
change had been made, conse-
quently Idaho does not get credit
for her output of gold by several
hundred thousands of dollars, and
will not; pntil the man who makes
the bullion can get its just values.
