THE many friends Of Gen. James
Tilton, formerly surveyor general of
this Territory, and many years civil
engineer for the N. P. r. r. Co. on
this coast. and VINO, also. laid out
the Walla Walla railroad, will he
gratifed to learn that he has been
appointed engineer inspector of the
water supply of the District OF Col
umbia, including the cities OF Wash
ington and Georgetown. Gen. III
ton attributes his success in obtain
ing this professional recognition
mainly to the efforts OF Senator Gro
YER. The Senator made it a point
with the commissioners that the ex
treme northwest coast should share
in the appointments in the district
with the Eastern States, and as Ore
gon and Washington were not rep
resented in the district, it was but
fair that they should have some one
from this coast. Gov. Grover has
taken al excellent position in Wash
ing1on. and is already recognized as
an able and industrious Senator,
and Will be able to do o great ceal
of good for the nertLwest.-W. w.
Statesman.
DREAM LAND. A Sryecuse N.
W paper, upon the authority OF
Mercer, of Continental fame, holds
out the following prospects to the
unappropriated femininity of the
East: Women are wanted sadly out
in Oregon, and great many of them
would be very acceptable. There is
at least $50, 900 disconsolate bachel-
ors west of the Rocky mountains
who are pining for female society,
and who are waiting with open arms
and hearts to welcome helpmeets to
that land of milk and honey. II a
girl hasn't the money wherewlth to
pay her fale to Oregon, all she has
to do is to send on her credentials
to the governor OF the State or the
mayor of Portland. aud if they are
approved a free ticket will be fur
nished. and g husband AS soon as
she reaches her point Of destina-
tion."
