At the present' time no appointments ara being sought for Oregon citlsens In either the department of the Interior oa the department of justice, but in the postoff ice department . several ; recom mendations for appointment of postmas ters are on file, and these appointments have not been made, presumably, as the result of the decision made by the post master-general not to make Oregon ap pointments until a settlement of the lancH .
