Burgard, collector of customs, Portland; E. C. Kirkpat rick, of Dallas, United States mar shal; C. V. Johnson, of Corvallis, ap praiser of customs at Portland; D. L. Keyt, of Portland, surveyor-general; Frank L. Parker, collector of customs at Astoria; L. H. Arneson, receiver of The Dalles land office; Harold T. Hopkins, register of The Dalles land office; Preston A. Worthington, re ceiver of the Burns land office. The following presidential postmas ters also were recommended: Frank J. Carney, Astoria; John E. -Logan, Burns; Ella V. Powers, Can yon City; Ben Weathers, Enterprise; John 23. Beasley, Falls City; William M. Brown, Lebanon; F. W. Harnes, Rose burg; Edgar Hostetler, The Dalles; Merritt A. Baker, Weston; Phillip A. Livesly. Woodburn; John H. Peare, La Grande; John F. Miller, Jacksonville. Every man recommended by Wil liams supported President Taft. While no appointments have yet been announced, it is expected that nominations in accordance with the foregoing recommendations will be made tomorrow or Monday. The prospect for the connrmation of most, if not all, of these men is regarded as favorable, if the Repub v lican senators can break the Dem ocratic opposition and compel a min ority of the senate to assent to the connrmation of those Taft appointees who are not personally objectionable to individual senators. Senator Cham berlain indicated today that he prob ably would not oppose connrmation in cases where appointments have been delayed, and he has previously intimated that he would not object to confirmation wnere appointments are made when the terms of incum bents expire, provided the men ap pointed are not personally objection able to him.

While there are a goodly number oi business people yet to be seen rel ative to taking space in the magazine that part of the work remaining to be done will be gone through with aa rapidly as possible, making a sort of "whirlwind finish" as it were. Notwithstanding it is the desire and intention of the publishers to ov erlook no responsible business inter terest jr individual who might be in terested in having representation in the Annual it often happens that some are overlooked, regardless of the care taken in making a close canvas. Last year there were several who expressed regret that they were not called on.

Sheriff Tom Word yesterday made this an nouncement in a letter which he sent to the manager for Zbyszko, the Pole, who claims the championship of the world since the retirement of Gotch. Zbyszko is now in Pendleton, and his manager expected to bring him to Portland for a match on the mat with Montanic, the Umatilla Indian, who has gained fame as a football player and genera! athlete. Word has had his suspicions arous ed as to the "squareness" of the var ious bouts pulled off in Portland dur ing the past year. He is firm in the belief that most of the matches have been "fixed."

RUNAWAY TELESCOPES WAG0N;N0 INJURIES An unusual runaway was that which occurred on Twelfth Street at 10 d'clock Friday morning. The team, which belongs to the Oregon Engin eering & Construction Company, be came frightened at a steam roller used in laying the pavement on Low er Main Street. The team, which was attached to a lumber wagon started madly up Twelfth Street. When it came to the Southern Pacific viaduct, which is supported by a row of pil ing in the middle of the thoroughfare, one horse went on one side of the piling and the other horse on the other side. The result was a badly telescoped wagon, broken harness and bruised horses. Nobody was in jured.. If it happened It la In the Enterprise. NOPE! I MUST ... t" - LARGE SUM FOR FAIR bv Considerable, interest is being tak en in the proposed bill to appropriate a funu for an Oregon exhibit at the Panama Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. This is a matter that will have to be' determined at the coming session of the Legislature, which meets next Monday. Members of the Legislature have gone on record as favoring an appropriation, ranging from $100,000. to $500,000, but tne Clackamas delegation will be oppos ed to a heavy appropriation. C. Schue bel of this city, who is recovering from a severe illness, and will be ai Salem at the opening of the legisla tive assembly, believes that $100,000 is sufficient to- appropriate, and he will oppose any appropriation in ex cess of ?150,000. Mr. Schuebei favors the appoint ment ot an Oregon world s fair com mission by the Governor or the Legis lature. Gustav A. Schnoerr, Representative from Clackamas County, looking at the matter from the standpoint of tne taxpayer in general, believes that an appropriation of from $125,000 to $1S0,0U0 should be enough, but view ing the question from a standpoint of adequate recognition of so great a priject as the completion of the Pa nama Canal, considers that perhaps $500,000 would not be too much. He says: "In the construction of the canal American genius, energy and perser verance have erected unto themselves a lasting monument. The whoie world will join with us in 1915 to cel ebrate the opening of the great can al. Oregon ought not t0 wait to fol Iw the example of other states, but should be one of the first, especially as we have all to gain and nothing to lose by the opening." Mr. Schnoerr advocates the raising of a large amount by popular sub scription as a means of Oregon's making an adequate showing. He be lieves that societies should be form ed in every community of the state for the purpose of soliciting sub scriptions and that in a few months a large fund could be accumulated. REV.C.

A disagree ment over the matter of some of the typeribber ribbons, to be used on the machines of the commerce depart ment, led to a pretty quarrel, which may lead to some serious action on the part of the board of regents of the Oregon Agricultural college. A couple of black eyes are the only visible re sults, at the present time, but devel opments will follow. Ihe trouble is said to have started when Assistant Professor E. B. Moore of the stenography classes went ov er to the business office to get some new typewriter ribbons for his ma chines. C. A. Dobell, business man ager of the college, stated that there were already some ribbons at the col leg bookstore. These ribbons do not suit Professor Moore, who asked Do bell to order some more. Upon the refusal of tLe latter party to order them, an argument ensued whica resulted in blows being - ex changed. Both of 'tae participants in the affair have black eyes . But further than that, nothing could be ascertained definitely. Couple Gets License. A license to marry was issued to Laura L. Carpenter and Ira C. Stein inger Friday.

The meeting was opened with a few remarks by Councilman Tooze on the general water situation, followed by a discussion by T. W. Sullivan who advised the council to use caution in proceeding in the matter. He went on to show how that in his opinion the hydrochloride plant was the best fofthe city to install at this time, fop the reason that it would take sev eral years to get water from any out side supply, and then only at a large cost to the city.
