of office work. There are many VINO

ton. as a man witn the same training
In any line of endeayor outside the

which women are particularly adapt

like saws the Times. out in passing
on the life work OF Mrs. Rose Seven
Rainey. long connected with the posi-
office department at the national cap
itaI. the least they could have done
was to have said she was an exception
that "prcved the rule" For number
of years she had charge OF the money
order division with foreign govern

REGARDED that when she married, her
immediate superlorS insisted on her
remaining in office. To do so they 1ad
to have a special order, and the post
master general himself laid the mat
ter before President Roosevelt, who
directed that an exception be made in
her case. Under these circumstances
Mrs. Rainey was retained in office and
she served the department with dis
tinction up to the time of her death.
MANY women possess peculiar busi-
ness ability that make tnem the most
valuable assistants in any office. Such
women rise purely by their own eff
forts and often reach positions of great

CONVENTION CALL FOR THE
INLAND EMPIRE.

Within few days the Weber Club
will be requested to call a convention
of the wholesalers. jobbers, retail mer
chants, and in fact all shippers of the
finland empire" to meet in Ogden the
early part of September. The object
OF the convention is to unite all in
tesests of the finland empire" in de-
manding of the railroads fair treat
ment
The coast shippers have enjoyed for
years railroad rates which discriminat
ed against the inland cities and gave
to the coast wholesalers an advantage
which allowed them to invade the ter
ritory which interior cities, by virtue
OF their location, we're entitled TO hold
against such competition.
Not long ago the Interstate Com
merce commission decided that rail-
road determinations Of that kind must
stop. but in order to cause the en-
forcement of the commissions decree,
the inland cities must join forces and,
by their united power bring about the
change.
By their representatives meeting in
Ogden and organizing, the inland cit
les can enforce their just demands
and protect themselves against the at
tacks of the coast cities cooperating
with the railroads,
The convention snould bring to Og-
den large delegations from as far north
as Spokane and east TO Denver.
