Show the New appointments. William Spry entered upon his term of United States marshal for Utah on Thursday, succeeding B. B. Heywood. The organ of the Kovengo society Is exeedlngly bitter towards Mr. Spry, but that Is to tho credit of Mr. Spry who Is an honorable, upright, up-right, loyal and capable gentleman, and may bo banked upon to do his full duty consclonclously at all times and under all conditions. Luclan Smith who has been chief deputy tin-" der Marshal Heywood, It Is understood, under-stood, will bo retained In that position posi-tion by Mr. Spry. It Is thought tho second doputyshlp will go to Julian Riley, an old and tried Republican. Tho announcement that' E. D. It. Thompson and F. D. Hobbs have been recommended by Senators Smoot and Sutherland for tho polstlons of register regis-ter and receiver of tho United States land office respectively, was received hero with general satisfaction. Mr. Thompson Is a lawyer of ability who for twenty years has made a specialty of land law and Is therefore peculiarly peculiar-ly fitted for tho position of register of the land office. All his life ho has been a Republican and for many years an ardent worker In tho Republican ranks In Utah without receiving any Teward until now. His friends, and they are legion, congratulate him on his appointment. Mr. Hobbs has been register of tho land office hero for a number of years, a most capable official and a genial, affable gentle- . man. Ho now takes the placo of receiver re-ceiver in lieu of Gcorgo A. Smith, who did not desire reappointment. Tho salary attached to tho two places Is equal $3,000 a year each. Most people thought that Governor Cutler would appoint James H. Anderson An-derson to tho placo on the State Land Board made vacant by tho resignation of William Spry, howover, tho governor's gov-ernor's choice fell upon William J. Lynch which pleases everybody except ex-cept tho Tribune gang, and nobody oxpects them to bo pleased or cares a continental whether they are pleased or not. Mr. Lynch Is a Gentile Gen-tile and his appointment is pleasing to those who did not feel satisfied because be-cause the Gentiles wero without representation rep-resentation on that board. Mr. Lynch was not an applicant for tho placo and knew nothing of It until ho learned In tho street of his appointment. Another good appointment of tho governor a fow days ago was that of R.R. Tanner of Beaver county as member of tho State Board of Equalization Equali-zation to fill tho vacancy caused by tho death of R. C. Lund. Mr. Tanner, like Mr. Lund, Is a Domocrat, a man of affairs and well qualified for tho duties of tho position to which ho has been appointed. |
