FOR JOBS IN STATE.
A. N. Brown, the Newspaperman, Is to
Be Mead's Private Secretary
Gilman Slated.

| A. N. Brown, the present CITY cullOI
of the Seattle st-Intelligencer, it is
announced on the Sound, is to be made
private secretary to Governor-elect
Mead 1t is known that Mr.. Mead
highly esteems Mr.. Brown, who ac-
companied the executive on his tour
of the state before election. The posi-
! ton of private secretary carries with
| it the rank of major on the governor
staff. besides paying salary of $4,000
| a year.
Harry E. Gilman of Dayton is said
| to be slated for assistant state land
commissioner, in recognition of the
| work that he did in the campaign in
the interest of Mr.. Mead.
That Judge Stephen A. Calvert will
succeed Grant Neal as chairman of the
board of audit and control is consider
ed possibility among the state off,
GALS Mr.. Calvert is the present state
land commissioner, and from the excel
lent record made during the past four
years in the management of the states
lands it was expected his administra-
ton would be Endorsed by renomina-
ton, but at the convention A. w. Ross
developed the greater strength, and it
is asserted Mr.. Calvert will be re-
warded by the appointment to the
Craftsmanship of the board of control
at salary of $500 per annum, with
expenses while on the inspection tours.
In connection with appointments to
deputyships, it looks as if the Scobey
Madge combination at Olympia would
land at least two of the most import
ant places. AS the reward of indus
try in the campaign, Attorney General
elect Atkinson has already announced
that A. j. Falknor is to become assist
ant attorney general, and George G..
Mills, Thurston county's successful
candidate for state treasurer, will
probably appoint T. N. Henry his dep
uty. Mr.. Henry was chairman of the
Thurston county republican commit
tee.
1t is general conceded that the COM
ing legislature will temporarily in
crease the number of judges of the
supreme court to seven. This is con-
sidered necessary, for by the end Of
the January term there will be a total
of 400 cases behind on the calendar.
The present fall term is the longest on
record, continuing till we'll along to-
ward the middle of December, leaving
less than a months time before the
January term cOnvenes.
1t is generally believed about the
court room that Herman D. Crow, Of
Spokane, will be the republican ap-
pointee. Judge Crow is personal
friend of Governor elect Mead, and
would receive his appointment as re-
ward for stumping the eastern part Of
the state in the interest of the guber-
Material candidate. Crow was a can
didate for supreme judge before the
convention, and had the Mcbride, or
railroad faction, won out, would
have been nominated. However, after
Mead was nominated, he. swung into
line.
