This job at present, carries with it a salary of $200 per month. IMbro than tho usual amount of m-iercst m-iercst attaches to the probable ap-liointment ap-liointment of a state cucineer. This is TCgarded by all odds tho most important import-ant appointment Governor ITawloy will havo to make. Tt is probable today of more importance to affairs n: Idaho thaoi all tho other appointments combined com-bined which Governor Ilawloy . will havo to make. -Tt is u matter of no possihlo concern con-cern to those most vitally interested whether ho follows bis political bius in junking this appointment or not.
