NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN SUB
MITS OREGON POSSIBILITIES
TO PRESIDENT TAFT
mm PORTLAND POSTMASTER
Office Seekers' Chances Depend on
the Ability of Republican
Senate to Confirm
Them
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 National
Committeeman Williams today recom
mended to President Taft that the
following federal appointments be
made in Oregon:
Thomas McCusker, postmaster at
Portland; John H. 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.

Vithout Delay
After a full month of 'steady and
consistent work in compiling the Pro
gress and Anniversary Edition of the
Morning Enterprise the time is draw
ing nar when the big booster num
ber will be finally completed and will
start on its way to the four corners
of the United States carrying' the
message of Clackamas County's op
portunities. A great deal of the matter that will
go into the issue is already in type,
the most of it in fact, and the press
es will begin the first of the week.
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. It is suggested that any
one who desires full information as to
the character of the publication and
the basis upon which representation
therein may be had, would do well
to get in touch with the Enterprise
office before January 14.
Below is a list of those who have
already signified their intention of co
operating with the Enterprise in this
matter:

Got To Stop
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 10. There
will be no more professional wrest
ling in Multnomah County. 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.

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.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Jan. 10. 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.

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

fop the reason that it would take sev

side supply, and then only at a large
cost to the city. Mr. Sullivan said
