Pleasant Recreation Provided for Peo-

Fellow Townsman.

Tarrytown, n. Y.-To take a drive
with John d. Rockefeller has become
a regular recreation this spring. for a
great many Of the friends and neigh
bors of that famous resident Of Tar
rytown, and he has increased thereby
his popularity among the people Of
the little city. Not pleasant day
goes by without the oil king inviting
some OF them, men, women and chill
dren. to ride with him in automobile
or carriage, and II is safe to say that
the invitations are seldom declined,
for his vehicles are the best to be
had. and the drives around Tarrytown
are beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting for
a ride. always dons q paper vest, de-
claring II 10 be a great protection
against colds, and he Insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride he
refuses to take back the garment, and
consequently in nearly every home in
Tarrytown may be found paper vest
preserved as a souvenir of delightful
ride with the mult-millionaire.

curing at about $3.50 p. m. Mrs.
Isaac T. Rhea, OF Nashville, Tenn,
wife OF the president Of the company
owning the boat, was drowned, and
her body has been recovered.
The boat left st. LOUIS, bound for
points along the Tennessee river, at
I o'clock Wednesday night The rise
OF the river had made the voyage pre-.
carious as she water was heavily
clogged with driftwood.
When nearing Glen Park the boat
was drawn shoreward by the current
despite the frantic efforts of the pilot.
It drifted almost to the bank when 1t
struck a rock.
Peter McLoon, superintendent OF a
cement company plant at Glen Park,
saw the boat sink and went to the
rescue Of the passengers. He was fol-

Mcleod, who is thoroughly IA

Mount Mckinley, says that the ridge

cended is the only possible route over
which the summit may be attained.
Thomas Lloyd was for many years
a resident Of Utah and was appointed
coal mine inspector by Governor He
Der M. Wells at the beginning Of his
administration in 1896. Lloyd was
born in Wales and came to this coun.
try as young man. He lived in Car.
bon county, was naturalized there and
served as sheriff for several terms.
He married there and had q number
of children.
Lloyd was known as a daring fell
low, first-class miner, and was
highly recommended for the position
of coal mine inspector. An example
of his daring is shown by the fact
that on one occasion he organized a
gang of men to follow the celebrated
Robbers Roost" gang, which oper.
ated in Carbon county.

Legislature. A law which went
into effect on May 25th makes it
obligatory upon employers, in
advertising for employees during
strike or other labor troubles,
to state explicitly in the adver-
tisement the existence of the
strike, lockout, or whatever the
disturbance may be. The law
should go far toward removing
one of the most painful features
OF many strikes.

declared that itshould bedivided

giving his visitor a pro rata of

of the number of the worlds in

1t is in the gossip from the ma
tional capital that a committee
in congress will presently report
on an appropriation of $500, 900,
the money to be paid to heirs OF
George Washington. Atpresent
these heirs are before congress
with claims. /" These represent,
in part, land grants which be-
longed to Washington, which in
one way or another lapsed.
The story commonly told is
that Washington was the richest
American of his time. The truth
is known to be that, in fact, he
was land poor. In the country
which in his day was the HARVEST
frontier he owned tracts of land
which in time became immensely
valuable, but which he held, while
he lived, in long-distance owner
ship and which proved to be, in
his experience, all outgo and no
income. A good deal of this pro-
perty is in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
George Washington found it
almostimpossibleto pull through
on his available income. He is
known to have puton record the
fact that his salary of $685. 900
as presidential princely stipend,
perhaps, at the time-did not
avail for the extraordinary de-
mands upon him. Ii the present
claimants were heirs of any other
American of Washington's time
it is not probable that they
would getpassing attention from
any committee in congress, and
there is no reason, apparently,
why an exception should be made
in the case of these people.
Washington was childless and
without direct heirs. There are
revolutionary heroes having d.
rect heirs, who gave a large part
of their personal fortune to keep
their own soldiers in the field.
There are others who served in a
grand way, but whom at the
close of the war, with a worthless
currency and many repudiated
debts to deal with, were in finan-
cial wreck. Our day and genera
tion certainly cannot make finan-
cial amends to the heirs of these
men. There is no valid reason
why indirect descendants of
Washington should get dip in
to the federal treasurv.-Ex.
