Whllo no official announcement has been made, it is practically settled that Senator Bourne will recommend the appoint ment of Charles B. Merrick of this city as register of tho Portland land office. IMs not known who will get tho Job of receiver of tho same office' but it is strongly suspected that thU position will bo offered to J. Frank Slnnott, also of this city.

Mr. Merrick Is secretary of tho Re tail Grocers' association and always has been a strong Dourno partisan. Mr. Slnnott is a young lawyer of this city, whose actlvo association with Dourno dates soveral years back. . These are not tbo only Jobs, how ever, with which Bourne has to re ward tho faithful.
