A. J. Apperson of this city bad been appointed to the receivership of the U. S. land office at Sitka, Alaska. The opinion has been quite generally expressed that the position UaB been creditably bestowed. Mr. Ap- person has been one of the war horses in the campaigns of the republican party in Yambill and other counties of Oregon, and has never before personally held or seriously sough* office. Even hie politic­ al opponents, who have in past years recognized in him a foeman worthy of their steel, freely admit that from the standpoint of party fealty, Mr. AppersoD is among the first to deserve recognition. The receivership pays a salary varying according to the business done, in this ease ranging from $2,000 to $2,250, but with clerkships allowed the place is worth to the holder near $3,000 per year. The appointee has until July 1st to enter upon the discharge of his duties. He will remove his family to Sitka.
