federal positions in Idaho there still
remains undecided the United States
district attorneyship for the state, a
position now held by J. L. McClea1
Of Occur d'Alene. This is a position
that Senator Gooding has jurisdiction
over, because of the agreement
reached by him with Senator BOrah
by which the latter would have first
, choice of appointments and Gooding
second. Senator Borah appointed the
revenue collector and the prohibition
director. Senator Gooding has ap
pointed the United States marshal
and the appointment of district at
torney, in the order of things under
this agreement, falls to him.
1t can be said on the very best Of
authority that Colonel E. G. Davis of
Boise has the refusal Of this office.
The fact that he has not been APP
pointed is due to matters of a more
personal nature which he is consid-
ering. He is, more than likely, to be
named. Senator Gooding is said to
be committed to the appointment as
well as many of his closest friends
and political advisers.
Evan Evans of Grangeviiie who
was appointed revenue collector, has
made all of the necessary arrange
ments to take over the duties OF this
office, succeeding Louis Williams, on
or about September Is. The internal
revenue commissioner is under heavy
bond and approval of this bond must
be had before Commissioner Evans
assumes the responsibility of handl-
ing the governments cash. Upon
taking office, Mr.. Evans will deter
mine who will make up his working
force. There are a number of APP
pointments of no little Importance to
De made in this department and it is
that several very worthy
will be named
