Ashley Gets Appointment

President Harding last Thursday APP
pointed William Ashley of Standpoint
receiver of the district land office at
Occur d'Alene. Mr.. Ashley had the
endorsement of both Senators Borah
and Gooding for the place.
Mr.. Ashley. who was chairman of
the Bonner county board OF commits
sioners previous to the first of the
year, was receiver of the Occur d.
Alene office previous to the Wilson
administration, holding the place un-
der Roosevelt and Taft. He was APP
pointed from Rathdrum at that time
and came to Bonner county and his
ranch on Pack river at the expiration
of his term.
An effort has been made to have
the offices of register and receiver
united in view of the fact that the
business of the office has been cut
down in recent years until one man
it is claimed, can perform the duties
of both offices. The suggestion was
made to the general land department
some weeks ago with the endorsement
of Mr.. Ashley for the united office
The appointment, however, Is made at
this time for the receivership only.
