Charges of Violation of Civil Service
Rules in Filling Vacancies Purpose
ly Created Made Against Per-
rault

1t was announced by the Civil Service
Commission yesterday that the Commits
sion had finally gained the victory In
its long fight with Joseph Perrault, the
surveyor general of Idaho.
President Roosevelt on Tuesday sent
to the Senate the nomination of Mr..
Ernest G. Eagleson. of Boise. for the
position now held by Perrault.
Violated Civil Service Rules.
Perrault had been charged with ia
grant violations of the civil service
rules, and when called upon to testify
before the Commission fatty refused
TO do so. AS result of this action on
the part of the surveyor general Presi-
dent Roosevelt decided not to renomi-
nate him.
Pe-rsult has held the Office since No
vember. 1897. The day he entered upon
the discharge OF its duties he suspended
about half the force OF the Office on the
plea of lack of work. and on the same
day began filling the vacancies with ap-
pointees of his own who had not passed
a civil service examination. One of the
discharged men has recently recovered
a Judgment In the Court of Claims for
his salary, and the others have since
brought suit. The cases are all identi-

Some of the Charges.

Some months ago certain employees
under Perrault wrote to the Civil Serv-
ice Commission making the charge that
during the national campaign of 1900 the
entire Office force had been requested 10
make contributions. the solicitation
being by the chief clerk and the chief
craftsman and IN the building occupied
by the surveyor generals Office. II was
further charged that this solicitation
was done not only with the knowledge
and approval OF Perrault, but under his
orders. and that the sum collected had
been brought to him before being turned
over to the treasurer or the State com
mittee. Perrault was one of the vice
chairmcn OF this committee, and took an
active part in the campaign.

The number Of sets Of papers marked

present time 4.50G of unmarked papers
Of the latter class.
Under ordinary circumstances the
number of papers to be examined and
marked which Is on hand at present
could be cleared out of the way in about
three months. There are. however, a
great many special examinations to be
held this summer, and 1t is doubtful if
the Commission will have the grading

Land Commissioner Griffin Reviews the Business of 1902

F. T. Griffin, land commissioner of the
great Canadian Pacific railway, says:
In reviewing the land department
business for the season Of 1902, now draw
ing to 8 close, I would say that this has
been a most satisfactory year from all
points of view, and the outlook for the
future is very hopeful and encouraging
to all those who are interested in the
Canadian northwest. Among these I in
clude a large number Of residents Of the
United States who have taken up land in
4 Canada with the intention OF settling
thereon, or have purchased it as an in
vestment.
1.-THE sales Of the company have more
than trebled those Of last year, and the
entries for homestead lands at the gov
eminent offices bear a similar proportion
showing that the actual settlement OF
the country is progressing in a most sat
fsfactory way.
'"The crop of the past season was an ex-
cellent one and has been harvested in
good condition and has demonstrated to
new arrivals that nowhere else at the
present time are there equal opportunities
for the settler and landseeker.
several large tracts of land were sold
by the Canadian Pacific railroad and other
land companies for colonization purposes
In the early part of the year. The result
of those sales will, am sure be benefi-
cial to the settlement of the country. Many

become interested in it's development and
progress, and have exercised very i'm
portant influence in establishing the value
OF our lands A very much larger guam
tity Of land might have been disposed Of
in the same way, but as the settlement Of
the land is primary object of the COM
pany, they prefer to make sure of the
early colonization, of tracts already sold
before extendingi operations In the same
direction.

as a lecturer on popular subjects and
also has wide acquaintance among the
leading prohibitionists of the United
States, having been two years ago a can

time to Canadian lands and their colonial
ton. A year ago he started selling land
for the Canadian Land & Colonization
company and is now president of the Mon

Is an energetic and capable man and is
meeting with great success in the business
upon which he has entered.

years ago and is graduate of the state

This company is formed for the purpose
of giving any and all classes Of people an
opportunity to get in touch with the trade
in Canadian western lands that Is now
going on all round us. There is nothing
so safe and so profitable an investment as
land. It can not burn up, blow away,
or play Quit. It is from off the land
that our everyday needs are sup
piled. Land is always in demand. A
LAND owner is always on a safe footing.
Now everybody is not in a position to look
up lInds for small or large investments.
1t costs money to find good places for in
vestment, and then when he does not. wish
to invest much he cannot find a single
parcel even that he could get for less than
a few hundred dollars. Our plan gives
you the privilege of investing from SIS to
500 or more. 1t Is entirely new and sure,
our company being fully chartered by the
government of Manitoba. Our authorized
