MAY BE Mr.. ROSS
The President Will Appoint District
Commissioner.
BE OBJECTS TO A THIRD TERM
But That May Be Overcome in
This Case.
WILSON AND SANDS NAMED

There are indications that President
Cleveland Will shortly act in the matter of
the appointment of a successor to District
Commissioner Ross, whose term expired
several days ago. 1t now seems to be set
tied to the salts faction of certain citizens
IL terested that the President has concluded
tc make this appointment himself in prefer
eDce to leaving it as a legacy to his sue
ceSsor. IL is SAID he is strengthened in this
determination mainly by the consideration
that the appointment should go to demo-
crat, especially in view Of the fact that
the appointment Of republican member of
the board will devolve the President
elect shortly after his inauguration by rea-
son Of the expiration of the term of Com
missioner Truesdell.
Mny RenppOfnt Mr.. Ross.
The delay in the matter is said to be due
to the Presidents difficulty in finding a
man entirely to his liking who is willing to
accept the appointment. He is known -
be very much pleased with the record made
by Mr. Ross ard would promptly reappoint
him, it is said. but for mis- alleged presu-
dice agar st third term for federal Of
fic.als. Mr.. Ross, as is well known, has
just completed his second term. That is
rot. however. an insurmountable objection
probable that Mr. Ross may be appointed i
his own successor. provided he is willing to
continue in office
Others Mentioned.
Other citizens mentioned as likely to be
considered in The event that Mr.. Ross is
not reappointed are Marshal A. a. Wilson
and Mr.. P. E. S. Sands. The President and
Marshal Wilson are great friends, and
scarcely a day passes that they do not see
each other.
In accordance with his custom of late.
Marshal Wilson stopped at the White
House this morning on his way to the City
Hall for a short chat with the President.
Some of his friends say that he does not
fancy the duties of District Commission.r r
and that he would much prefer to remain
where he is until his term expires in J:.nu-
:iry next. MIR. Sands is an open candidate
for the commissionershp and is said to
have very strong backing. There is ground
for the statement that the matter will be
settled before the end Of next week.

A letter written by f. J. Estep to
Tug Wilson from Hope City, on Cooks
Inlet, although several months old,
gives some ideas regarding the North
ern Eldorado that are quite new. 1t
will be seen that with regard to mails,
the denizens of Hope have about the
same complaint that the Carolina Gov
ernor's had with reference to passing
the bottle" that much time was I'M
necessarily lost in the operation. Mr..
K. writes:
81 had intended getting letter off
to you all summer, but somehow never
got at it. l suppose you have WON
dered this long time how have made
out in this land of promise. The last
mail goes out from here Tuesday, so it
is now or next year. l am going to
stay here all winter. l have not done
well enough to go back. From now
on, until about next May, we will
hear nothing from the outside world.
So you need not be in any hurry about
answering this. But l want you to
be sure, by the first of April next, to
write me and let me know how my
affairs are getting on. want you to
wlite not later than that so it will get
in on the first mail
John Reagh is going back. Charley
and "The Judge" are going to stay.
" The Judge" has bought out the little
drug store here and will run that this
winter. Whisky is the principal drug
dispensed there. | have made about
enough for grub stake this winter
and start the works up next spring.
If l went home it would take more
than that to go there and back, and
as l have nothing there to go for /
might as we'll stay here; besides will
have better show next year. If we
work this claim we will have a lot of
work already done, such as the river
turned, which was lot of work, also
sluice-boxes all ready made. Most of
the claims on this creek have not
done very well although some have
made money. l am only partner in
this claim. "The Judge" Charley
Hager, Reagh and two other fellows
worked here all summer You may
not believe it, but "The Judge" SHOW
eled like hero. / have a claim ed.
joining this that belongs to me. If
that prospects all right next spring, l
may work that. l can't say yet.
The winter shut down on us here
very suddenly last Sunday. OF course
that stopped all slucing operations.
Since then the thermometer has
ranged from 10 to 16 degrees tbove
zero every night. The days have been
clear and beautiful. During the sum-
mer it was pretty much all daylight,
this winter tho | expect to see the
shortest days l ever saw before.
want you to give my best regards to
all the boys that know me.

this city. Mr.. Brooks in those days
took an active part in public affairs,
and was one of the prime movers for
the formation of the Territory of
Washington from the boundaries of
Oregon. He WAS Il member and Sec
rotary OF the Convention held ut
Monticello, Nov. %, 1852, called the
Z" Northern Oregon Convention" The
convention adopted a memorial to
Congress PRAYING for the establish
ment OF a new Territory north of the
Columbia river, to be called the "Ter-
ritory of Columbia" The movement
was successful in all excepting the
name" Washington" being sub
Stitutcd for the name proposed while
the bill WAS under discussion in Con-
gress.
One OF the "chceky" acts a men,
Der of profcssedly pious organiza
ton, perpetrated last week, was to re-
move some large and costly tobacco
cards from the city bill-boards, where
they were posted for a specified time
by order of the advertisers, and use
the reverse side to announce n Free
Lecture" i'll Hale block. 1t is prOba-
BILE that the perpetrator of this out
rage did not know that he was COM
hitting Il double ofiense, either of
which is punishable by law, but ignor-
ance excuses no person of common in
telligence. The first Ofense is ap-
preparation of property of another,
commonly called theft" and the
other unauthorized use of property of
another, legally defined as "trespass."
1t was only belief that the act was
unwittingly done that has restrained
legal proceedings as an "object les
son" for others who clothe despicable
acts under an assumed cloak of
righteousness.
Mr.. c. j. Ferguson, stage manager
of Humanity" company, with his as
sistant, arrived in the city last even
ing to prepare for the great scenic
production which will be given at
Olympia Theater tonight. A portion
of the production arrived with Mr.
Ferguson, and the remainder will
come with the company. The intri-
cate mechanism of one of the great
scenes makes it necessary for a stage
manager to travel at least day ahead
of the company with a duplicate set of
this scene, so as to have everything in
working order. This will undoubtedly
be the greatest scenic display that has
ever been presented in Olympia and
from the newspaper notices given the
drama in San Francisco, it is play of
the very highest order of dramatic
construction. Aside from the scenic
and dramatic strength the introduce
ton of thoroughbred horses and a
pack of English fox hounds on the
stage is indeed novelty.
