The first thing that comes to my mind is a one-liner regex:

var pageNum = $("#specificLink").attr("href").match(/page=([0-9]+)/)[1];

The same as other answers, in a jQuery fashion:

$.each(selectValues, function(key, value) {   
     $('#mySelect')
         .append($("<option></option>")
                    .attr("value", key)
                    .text(value)); 
});
