One or two cities of the country have been boasting of owning a citizen who is a double of President Taft, but Mt. Angel can carry away the big prize in the shape of Aleck Sharbach, a liquid dispenser. Sharbach is also a member of the fire department there.

He is a perfect picture of Taft, with perhaps the exception that he does not carry as much excess flesh as the president. Sharbach was a visitor in Salem yesterday. PROBABLE THAT IT WILL. BE HELD BACK FOR THE COLONEL'S purpose. MARION AND POLK COUNTIES WILL GO STRONG FOR ASSEMBLY MEN.

WASHINGTON, June 1G The need of $30,000,000 became more apparent than ever today when Chief Engineer Davis of the reclamation service reported from the field, at Pathfinder, that the work on many projects is being seriously retarded and the water rights of many are placed in jeopardy for the lack of money. Large sums now tied up in storage projects would begin to make returns if the service had available money to complete them, he reported. It has been generally supposed that the reclamation service is against the $30,000,000 feature. Davis himself, at the hearing before the house ways and means committee, apparently was not favorable to it and Director Newell refused to commit himself to it.

The indorsement of Engineer Davis in the field, therefore, came as a great surprise to the interior department.

Indications point to a clear-cut victory for the assembly in Marion and Polk counties this year. County Chairman W. L. Jones of the Republican central committee will open headquarters in this city next Monday for the purpose of promoting work for the mass meetings which will be held on 2. These mass meetings are for the purpose of selecting delegates who will attend the county assembly to be held July 9.

At the county assembly on this date delegates will be selected to represent Marion icounty at the state assembly will be held in Portland July 23. "The assembly idea is gaining ground in Marion county," stated Chairman Jones yesterday. "In the north end of the county the assembly proposition will carry in good shape and I understand, from reports received generally, that the assembly is being the cause of much congratulation all over the county among the majority, who find the present order of things discouraging to those who are desirous of clean, straightforward and legitimate politics. "There is scarcely a doubt that Marion county will give a good majority to assembly candidates and to sensible selection of county and state offices." That Polk county will be in line with the assembly plan is affirmed by Glenn llolman, who was in the city yesterday. Mr.

llolman declared that 90 per cent of Polk county voters will cast NEW YORK, June 16. Theodore Roosevelt at midnight was within 500 miles by dead reckoning from the welcome New York will give hjm next Saturday morning on his return to America. His ship, Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, is rated as a 17-knot vessel and at her normal speed should cover the remaining distance in 29 hours, which would make the arrival here at 5 a. m. Saturday.

it is Colonel Roosevelt's intention to leave the steamer at 9 o'clock that morning, so it is presumed the vessel will be held back, when she nears the port so as not to arrive before schedule. Twenty-one guns, the national salute, will greet Former President Roosevelt as he enters the harbor of New York on his return to this country. Jn the completion of the naval demonstration that will follow, Chairman Smith, of the harbor display committee tonight announced the list of vessels and the line of formation. Eighty warships, harbor patrol boats and other steamers will take official part in the parade up the Hudson river and back to the battery. In addition, a flotilla of 150 merchant steamers will carry sightseers down the bay to witness the transfer of Colonel Roosevelt and party to the revenue cutter Androscoggin.

When Colonel Roosevelt lands at the battery a formal welcome by Mayor Gaynor will take place. His speech and (Continued on Page 3.) WILL BE ON PLAN ADOPTED BY LEADING DAIRYMEN OF THE COUNTRY. APPOINTMENT IS MADE BY BENSON BEFORE BOWERMAjST TAKES THE OFFICE. President W. I.

Staley of the cherry fair has called a meeting of all the committees for 8 o'clock this eveniug at the rooms of the Board of Trade. President Staley desires to secure specific information from cherry growers in all sections as to the condition of the crop, for the purpose of determining if any change in dates will be necessary. The present dates are July 7-8-9. It is believed these dates will be satisfactory, but if a change will be necessary the president of the fair desires to know it immediately. Hon.

Jay Bowernian, president of the Oregon state senate, became acting governor of the state at 4:26 p. m. yesterday, by taking the oath of office before Justice Robert Eakin, of the su-pvem court. Accompanied by his former law partner. Judge Robert K.

Butler, of Condon, President Bowerman arrived in Salem on the 4 p. m. car and went; immediately to the executive chambers where the oath of office was administered in the presence of a few state officials and clerks. Without pomp or ceremony of any kind the act-in. cr governor began his work.

His first official act was the appointment of M. E. Fowler, of Multnomah -ointy, as a notary public. Numerous letters and documents which had been prepared by the clerical force of the governor's office were signed and disposed of in rapid succession and at 4:45 p. m.

the acting governor joined in the deliberations of the desert land board, continuing until dinner time. At 7:30 p. m. he and State Treasurer Steel, with Clerk G. G.

Brown, held an important meeting of the state land board, which continued until nearly midnight. This forenoon will be given over to the consideration of pending applications for pardons, and to other important business of the executive department, and in the afternoon another meeting of the desert land board will be held. The acting governor stated last night that he is here to carry on the administration of the governor office without frills or fireworks and that there will no unusual deviations from the' policies of the Benson administration. "I appreciate the honor of being acting governor," said he, but am distressed because of the circumstances which compel me to come to the capitol. I shall welcome the news that Governor Benson is fully restored to health and will gladly surrender the office to him upon his return." Acting Governor Bowerman is the youngest man to occupy the executive chair of the state of Oregon.

He is 33 years old. The next youngest governor on record was George L. Woods, who served from 1S6(J to 1870. and who was lit years old when he took the oath of office. Not only is the present incumbent the youngest executive in the history of the state of Oregon, but he is the youngest governor in the United States at the present time.

During his stay in Salem, Acting Governor Bowerman is the guest of his mother, Mrs. L. U. Bowerman, 104? Leslio street. Before Acting Governor Bowerman took the oath of office yesterday, Governor Benson authorized the appointment of Hon.

H. M. Cake, of Portland, as commissioner from the state of Oregon in the matter of the disputed boundary line between Oregon and Washington at the mouth of the Columbia river. Mr. Cake and State Engineer John II.

Lewis will meet with the Washington commission in the hope of coming to an amicable agreement, over the disputed territory, SAN FRANCISCO, June 1G. "The fight between Jeffries and Johnson will take place July 4 as scheduled. If not in San Francisco, then I will pull it off in Reno, but the fight will be held on the day set. There need be no cancellation of special trains or tickets. Those who intended coming to S'an Francisco can come as planned and feel assured they will see the fight." This statement was made to the Associated Press soon after the Southern Pacific officials advised the promoter that six special trains had been cancelled during the day.

Rickard was greatly agitated by the information and also over the fact that many orders are being received to cancel or resell fight tickets. Rickard admitted he does not have he slightest hope of pulling off the fight in San Francisco and that every day of indecision as to where it will take place merely increased his financial loss. For once Rickard admitted he is "fight sick." While not ready to officially announce the place, the promoter virtually admitted the fight will take place at Reno. SAN FRANCISCO, June 16. Governor Gillett adheres to his determination to prevent the Jeffries-Johnson fight at all odds; Attorney General Webb will apply tomorrow to the supreme court for a permanent injunction against the fight and will not bother with a temporary one; Tex Rickard declares he will take the fight to some other state if the courts rule against him and that he proposes to enter in no long drawn out legal contest; Rickard and Promoter Blot of the Lan'gford-Kaufman fight scheduled for Saturday next will sue Governor Gillett and Attorney General Webb for damages.

These are the developments in the big fight situation to date. Considerable excitement was aroused when it was learned that a Panama Pacific exposition mas meeting was to be held. Sporting writers were hurried around, as it had been noised about that the status of the exposition at Washington had much to do with Gillett no-fight order. Gillett was present but not a word was said at the meeting about the fight. The meeting had to do with the decision of the house committee at Washington not to invite any foreign nations to attend either San Francisco, or New Orleans expositions until one of the cities or both had raised a fund of $7,500,000.

The meeting decided to raise the fund as required and if popular subscriptions are not forthcoming in sufficient amount, to levy an assessment on those who have already subscribed. PROSECUTION HAS ITS IIG I Of the many improvements that will be added to the Oregon state fair this summer, the erection of a model dairy barn is one of the most noteworthy, as it is considered that the information and instruction as to construction and maintenance of a model barn is of inestimable value to the many that visit the fair to gain knowledge in the most approved methods used. The barn in all probability will be placed to the northeast of the stock barns and will be constructed in strict accordance with plans adopted by the most successful dairymen of the country. Light, ventilation, drainage and facilities for the proper handling of cows will be considered in the building and during the fair a competent man will be in charge to explain every detail to the visitors.

Fourteen objections by the defense against the admission of testimony of State Representatives Myers, Link and Beekemeyer in the Lee O'Neil Browne bribery trial, were overruled by Judge McSurley today.
