The farmers in this part of the county

will have splendid crops. The fall wheat
especially looks fine.

Everyone around here can find plenty

quite rapidly. The prospects are good
for a largo yield.
The bicycle tax collector at. this place
has collected taxes on 72 wheels, and as

quite a number paid in McMinnville be

fore it was known they could pay here,

As a thunderclap out of a clear sky
came the announcement on the 4th inst.
by telephone that Hon. 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.
