HENRY L. HENDERSON. ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 27. 6pclaU Dr. Henry L. Henderson, who has been ap pointed by Governor Chamberlain as State Health Officer for the port of Astoria, waa born on a farm In Clay County, Missouri, in 1S53. He was educated In the public schools and at the Missouri State University, at Columbia, Mo., and began teaching In the public schools at the age ot 17. Later he decided to study medi cine, and nas graduated from the .Eclectic Merllcai School, of Cincinnati. O., In 1SS2, and from the Americas Medical College, of St. Louis, in 1SSO. Dr. Henderson practiced his profession In Plattaburg. Mo., for a short time, and then moved to St. Louis, taking an Important position as teacher In the American Medical Col lege and as clinical demonstrator In the St. Louis City Hospital. Having lonr had a desire to come to the Coast, be left St. Louis in the Spring of 1S9S. first stopping at La Grande. On August 1 ot that year he located in Astoria, where he has since resided, and where he has built up a lucrative medical practice. Dr. Henderson was bom vand bred a Democrat ot the "old school." and has always taken an active part in political campaigns, although he never sought a public office until last June, when ha was a candidate for Stats' Senator In opposition to Senator Fulton, and was defeated by him by only about 200 votes.

This act amends the present law by-add- I lng to It all that portion of the section quoted beginning with the word "pro-,! vliKd. The amendment authorizes one corporation to purchase the stock of an other corporation, paying therefor with Its own stock. In other words, it provides for a consolidation or combination of cor porations. According to decisions In other states It is probable that corporations already have this power so that the statute simply de clares something that was uncertain. In all the states the courts have held that the purchase of stock In one corporation by . another corporation for the purpose of removing competition is Illegal. Few states. New Jersey among them, have statutes expressly permitting one corpo ration to purchase stock In another. Georgia has a constitutional prohibition of such purchases.

HROAVNELL TO EXPLAIN. Will State Ills Side of Public Meetlnu. Case nt OREGON CITY. Feb. 27.-(SpecIal.) State Senator George C Browncll, who Is accused by mmy of the laboring men of this city with failure to push the passage of Senate bills US and 113, providing that eight hours shall constitute a day's work throughout the state, and who was de. nouncedby the local union of Carpenters and Joiners of America, is going to hive his Innings next Thursday night. Tho Senator believes that an Injustice has been done to him, and that it Is mani festly unfair for the unions to condemn him without a hearing. The Senator says:.. "I have been denounced by some gen tlemen composing the" Carpenters" Union ns a traitor to the cause of labor. This without giving me a chance to be heard. This is contrary to the American spirit of Justice and fair play. I ask all fair minded men to meet me at Armory Hall Thursday evening. March S, at 7:30 P. M., and heir me. This Is only fair to all." The Maccabee quartet, which accompa nied Senator Brownell on many of his campaign trips last May, will furnish mu sic for the occasion, and It Is very nrob able that a crowded pouse will greet Mr. Brownell.
