The appralsnmcnt of lots and parcels of land in the townsile of Port Angeles, Wash., by the ctimiiiiHHion appointed by Secretary Noble has Ixinn approved by tlie Interior Hepartuieut.

The price of dischargo during the fourth month of enlistment will lie ii" per cent 01 the yearly pay 01 tlio aiiplicant: during the fifth month 30 per cent, and so on, increasing 6 per cent Hir month until tlie fourteenth month, when tho maximum price is reached. I'liring tlio fifteenth month tho price will be 05 per cent of the max imum price; in tlie sixteenth month 00 per cent, and so on, decreasing 5 percent i,i.r month until the thirty-fourth mouth. when thn annlicant muv anlilr for his discharge without payment. o man is allowed to purchase his discharge a sec ond time, and those procuring discharges by purchase lorteit an ooneuis nue 10 continuous service or honorable uis chargo. A diWiargo by purchase is not an inherent right, but a privilege which may be granted by tho Navy Department. Tlie atmosphere alxnit the weather Imri-mi has cleared off very perceptibly since the recent investigation, and affairs are running along very smoothly, with very little probability of any farther changes being made iu the near future in tho bureau. Bccreutry atonon m that he wished to make it popular; in short, he will insist nion a useful fore casting, so the farmer, miner, shipper and commercial man can uenve troui it the greatest possible good.

He also decided to dis continue tlie river and flood-room work and at an early date place the river fore cast in charge of observers located on the principal rivers.
