Boise. Dec 12.-Governor-elect
James H. Hawley Thursday night
made his official announcement of ap-
pointments to be made by him for Of
fees under the new state administra-
ton He stated that six selections
had been positively determined upon
as above indicated.
In answer to the question as to the
basis on which these appointments
were arrived at, Mr. Hawley said
IN making these selections the ques-
tions of efficiency and honesty are the
two main qualifications considered,
but l am paying close attention, too,
to geographical lines, so as to have
the various Offices at my command
properly distributed over the state.
Asked concerning the appointments
not yet settled upon, Mr.. Hawley
said: Il expect to come to a definite
conclusion regarding all of the ap-
pointments which l control within
the next 10 days. I am anxious to do
this IN the names of those appointees
which require confirmation by the
senate at the commencement of the
session. so there will be no delay.
The names will be presented any way
in the first week of the session.
In reviewing the appointments al
ready determined upon, Mr.. Hawley
said: 80 far as the adjutant gener-
al was concerned, have been endeav-
oring to find a man absolutely sat
isfactory to the national guard as
whole who is also efficient. Colonel
Mccall is indorsed by nearly all Of
the officers of the guard and by most
of the prominent citizens of his own
section of the country.
Ct measured the qualifications for
the deputy adiutant general in the
same way. Captain Woodson Jeffries
was similarly strongly endorsed.
Geographically the adiutant gem
eral goes to Kootenai county, the as
sistant to Washingto ncounty
Il believe that both of these ap-
pointments will be agreeable to those
most interested and that both Col
onel Mccall and Captain Jefries will
make efficient and effective officers.
In regard to the game warden, |
have decided on Ben r. Gray of Hal
lev. He comes well recommended, not
only in Blaine county. but by other
parts of the state. There was a good
deal of contrast for thist Office. But
concluded after much ~deliberation
that it would be best to select man
from the central part of the state
and Gray meets that demand. I shall
take the three deputies from other
parts of the state. so that all sec
tions will be justly treated in this
matter.
For immigration commissioner,
shall appoint S. J. Rich of Blackfoot

counties he is indorsed by many pro
minent citizens representing all shad
es Of political and party opinion; an'
besides all that, he is strongly in
dorsed by many leading Republi-
cans as being good man for that of
fee. Among the Republicans arr

For bank examiner 1 have select

country. as well as by many leadin
citizens of Kootenai and adioinin
