Week.

Week.
Jacob Bean, appointed surveyor gen.
eral of logs for this district, is consider
ably more than half millionaire, and one
of the heaviest log dealers in the North
west. His appointment was not wholly
expected, except by some of his adher
ents, who were on the inside at st. Paul,

anything but harmonious among the
nounced that in case Holcombe was de-
feated Washington county would go
Democratic two years hence by the
detection of the Scandinavian vote,
which Mr.. HOlcombe, Swede. is cred
tied with largely influencing, though it
is probable that matters Will so calm
down before next election that HOl-
combe will be again found doing his ac
customed telling work for the party.
When the Lumbermen's board of trade
ballOted OH a candidate to be recon-
mended for the appointment Mr.. Bean
received IA votes and Mr.. Holcombe 10,
but motion that the ballot be
defeated, and only the bare fact that a
majority have indorsed Bean was off
cially communicated to Gov. Merriam.
Holcombe's friends claim that he was
practically promised the place before
the November election, and he certainly
did most effective work in the guber-
material canvass. While he is power
in local politics, Mr.. Bean has not been
known to show any practical interest or
to exert any influence in political mat
tiers. He is known az gentleman of
business ability, and as citizen of great
worth.
