\ Hereafter the salary of the comrnis
"IflCer of the Y ukon territory will be
$.5,0iXt a vear. The ^ovtrnment has
ha;l so much difficulty in setting men

Httrso ive.
I'p to the pesent the salary has
lisen been ?l;!,000 a vear with a house
a il other perquisites in addition. It
was found that the commissioner could
not verv welt mike any atomy even at
that bi>; salaiy, and the government
had the mortification to rind out several
men turn the otter down.
It has now been accepted by Mayor
Henderson of Vancouver who war- rec

t roller Liihgow, who has been acting
governor on several occasions ai d the

received trie support, of nearly the
enure j>o)>u'a:on of Yukon for the

about to retire, and wus formerly a con
servative, politics cuts a bijj figure in
in the appointment which was in the
hands of the liberal party.
