Oregon City Letter Telling
' Thrilling Story I? Not
Received
Ray Cooper, 25 years of age, son
of E. H. Cooper, collector for the
water boa'rd of this city, who mys
teriously disappeared from his home
in Clatskanie February 17, is in San
Diego, Cal. Mr. Cooper received a
letter Thursday from his son. The
young man wrote that he was work
ing for an automobile concern. He
said that he had been shanghaied
and taken to San Diego. Young Coop
el asked in the letter why his par
ents had not answered a letter from
him written several weeks ago in
which he gave, details of his being
"kidnapped. The letter referred to
was not received here. The elder
Cooper has written to his son urg
ing him to come home. The young
man's wife is -with her husband's
parents.
Cooper was employed as a tel
ephone lineman by the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph Company, being
In charge of the line between Rai
nier and Westport. He was last seen
by friends at the station at Rainier
An the niirht of February 17. He was
talking to . another lineman and a
stranger. It is believed that the
stranger had something to do with
the young man being shanghaied.
Cooper wore his working clothing
and did not even have on a coat, so
it was evident that he did not dis
appear of his own volition. He had
no money when he left home but
cashed a check for $5 at Rainier.
The young man was iarried several
months ago, and he and his wife im
mediately went to Clatskanie to live.
Mrs. Cooper declares that she and
her husband never had a croos word,
and his mysterious disappearance
was a severe blow to her. Mr. Coop
er was reared in this city ' and has
many friends here.

Head of State' Board Says Criticism
Has Impaired Efficiency and
Younger Man Is Desir-
ed for Place
There is a probability that Dr. J.
W. Norris, county health officer, will
send in his resignation at the May
tsrm of the county court. Calvin S.
White, state health officer, over the
long distance telephone notified the
Morning Enterprise Thursday even
ing that Dr. Norris was contemplat
ing resiening. Dr. Norris is out of
the cit3'. The proposed resignation
is due to the criticism that has been
made of Dr. Norris' work. Dr. White
says that he has rceived petitions
signed by numerous residents of the
county asking for tb? resignation of
Dr. Norris. Dr. Norris, while main
taining that he '-as done the work
of the office conscientiously and suc
cessfully, owing to his ag3, does not
care to continue in office longe He
has hundreds of staunch supporters,
among them being County Judge
Beatie. It was rumored Thursday
evening that he might be induced" to
continue in office. '
"The records of my office are o?
en to the insnectin of any citizen",
said Dr. White. "Signed petitions
for the removal of Dr. Norris have
been received. As a result of te
acrimonious discussion recently re
earding the contagious diseases in
Clackamas County during the past
six months Dr. Norris has hapn crit
icized. The strte board feels that
his efficiency has been, impaired and
that a younger man cou'd better at
tend to the duties of the office. I
will not say that the board has re
quested the resignation of Dr. Norris."

ment except a few postmasters, which

they approved, but declare that they
sought to recommend the best men
available, regardless of weight of in
dorsement or even of their personal
friendship.

lee, General Huerta has agreed to
the naming of Pedro Lascurain as pro
visional President, said advices te
ceived here today directly from the
national capital. Lascurain will serve
out the uncompleted term of the
late President Madero.
As Minister of Exterior Relations
in .7idero's former Cabinet, Lascu
rain is entitled to serve as next in
line, in view of the deaths of Madero
and Vice-President Saurez. The Hu
erta Cabinet would be retained by
the compromise.
This arrangement, It is said, has
been offered to the Constitutional

clared that Governor Carranza of
Coahuila has agreed arid that the So
nora insurrectionists will ' fall in
line.
The decision of the present pro

The public will ''lave observed that 1

phases were considered at some length 1
and tne committee arrived at a ccn- j
elusion tuat tiie present financial I

J port further states that the new wa-;

that there are otaer matters which ;
will likewise lake a large amount of :
money, that are demanded by a '
greater proportion of the property

The. committee believes that a bet- j
ter inducement and more efficient j
way to secure an increase in popula-!
tion and business is for the city to be :
able to show low taxes. This, tUey '
claims also any feeling of partisan-' maintain, is consistent with progress, i

Others there are,- no doubt, who
would be equally satisfactory from the
standpoint of general acceptabil'ty to
the public. Whether they, or any of
them, meet all the requirements is
a question that Mr. C. M. Clark and
his associates must decide.
