The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1893-07-07

Asa matter Of fact, there II no earthly


A matter Of fact, there II no earthly
use for several Of the officials mentioned.
The arduous labors of postma ster could
easily be filled by one Of the others; the
art department needs no watching; the
state missionary berth II an absurdity
which even the eloquent Will visscher can
not dignity. while the services Of some of
those in the various departments could be
dispensed with. 1t seems TO most people
that the pay roll should certainly not ex-
coed 81, 500 month. The title Of stenog-
rapher. as designating one OF the posi-
tions, is misleading. Carroll C0nover. who
holds that Office. combines in IL stenog-
rapher. messenger and general assistant.
He will shortly. 1t is understood, resign
the Office for the purpose Of going 70 Phil
adelphia to complete his Law studies.
Washington has been lucky in obtaining
two judges Of awards. Senator Van De
Vanter has already been appointed judge
of live stock. The position of judge in the
forestry department vas offered to George
W. Stetson, but it 10 understood that he re-
fused the honor, and W. J. White. of Bu-
coda, Is now spoken of - likely to get the
position. Judges of awards are paid IS q
day and expenses. and must report for
duty at the latest by July Is. Van De
Vanter got his position chiefly through
Executive Commissioners Calhoun. who
seems TO be somewhat OF . fayorite with
John Boyd Thatcher, the chief of the
bureau Of awards. He had to get the in
dorsement of Delegate Hopkins. however.
for which he telegraphed. 1T may be re-
marked here that Washington state is re-
gsrded with more respect by officials in
charge than perhaps any other represented
on the grounds. The firm stand taken by
the commission from the start has gained
more favors for the state thaa any amount
of toadyism could have done.
Arrangements for receiving the Column
bus caraveIs tomorrow by the Worlds fair
| officials have been completed. The cara
veis will be met some distance

tra,ion building. where they will be form
ally received and presented to the expo
sition officials. Hon. John Sherman will

taries Herbert and Carlisle are expected 70
speak.
The Illinois State Sporting Association
