ONE DOCTOR REMOVED, ANOTH
ER RESIGNS, AND THE REST
WON'T TAKE PLACE
WANT NORRIS AS HEALTH OFFICER
Physicians Ask County Court to Give
Office to Man Who Had it For
merly Petition Will be
Refused
W. C. Schultze is not the county
health officer. Neither is Dr. J. W.
Norris.
Though the old board of county
commissioners appointed Dr. Schultze
as the guardian of the public health
in the county, he has filed his resig
nation with the county clerk and has
not served a single day.
At the same time the doctors of the
city have .filed a petition with the
county board asking for the appoint
ment of Dr. Norris to the position and
his reinstatement in the office that
he held soma time ago.
This will not he done.
The county board will refuse to
grant the petition of the doctors of
the city and county and will attempt
to select some other man for the po
sition that has been made vacant by
the resignation of Dr. Schultze.
Doctors Sign Petition
But, as Dr. Schultze and most of
the other doctors of the city have
signed the petition for the reinstate
ment of Dr. Norris and as there seems
to be an agreement that none of
them will accept the position, the
county board faces an unusual situa
tion in attempting to make any ap
pointment at all.
From the staements of atorneys as
to the law, the board will have to
se'ect an officer who is a resident of
the county seat. The physicians of
the county seat have signified their
intention ' of refusing to accept any
appointment by signing the petition
for Dr. Norris. The board will not
appoint Dr. Norris and the county
health officer's position will probably
go begging.
The names that are to be found on
the petition asking for Dr. Norris' ap
pointment are: M. C. Strickland, C.
H. Meissner, Guy Mount, Hugh Mount,
W. C. Schultze, C. A. Stuart and H.
A. Dedman.
This list includes the graater num
ber of the doctors who are residents
of the county saat and who would be
eligible under the law for the position
to be filled by the board.

22 new Indian students from the five
civilized tribes in Oklahoma enrolled

Following the verdict of the coro
ner's jury at the inquest over the body
of Mrs. John Kelly, which placed the
responsibility for MJrs. Kelly's death
with the Southern Pacific Co. and
charged that corporation with negli
gence, the company today issued a
statement of the findings of the Board
of Inquiry, composed of E.. W .Coch
ran, general manager Oswego Lumber
Co.; H. B. Bichner, an Oswego mer
chant; C. W. Martyn, assistant super
intendent; F. M. Surer, assistant sup
erintendent, and D. F. Knapp, master

at Goodin, near Oswego, while re
turning from a picnic. She was near
the track, when a freight train passed,
and several pieces of slab wood fell
from a car. and struck a number of
p eople. Mrs. Kelly was instantly kill

injuries. The report of the Board of
Inquiry for the Southern Pacific fol

BANK GETS STOLEN
MONEY RETURNED
3. T. M)ass, sheriff of Clackamas
county, returned $365 in gold and sil
ver to the Milwaukee bank Thursday
after Virgil Perrine had been locked
behind the bars of the Oregon State
penitentiary and the money was no
longer necessary as a matter of evi
dence.
Since last July, when it was found
on the prisoner after he had been cap
tured in the swamp following his rob
bery of the bank, the sheriff has had
the money in the county safe and has
held it as evidence for the trial that
he. thought the young bank robber
would demand. '
As Perrine decided to enter a plea
of guilty and to take his sentence at
once, the money was not needed and
it' was Thursday returned to the own
er, the bank, through Cashier Bold-stead.

that are of interest to new comers in
this section of the country.
"In unity, there is strength" was
the key note of the meeting through
the evening. B. T. McBain, the re

Leaving the people of her own tribe
to live among the white invaders, Su

man of the city died at the residence
of Charles E. Burns, 125 Seventeenth
street, Wednesday night and was bur
ied in the city cemetery at 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon.
The Indian woman, who was. at
least 82 years of age, has lived in
Oregon City for as lonsr as almost onv
of the other residents can remember.
for tne past 25 years she has been
living with the family of Charles E.
Burns and has had a home of her own
on the Burns property.
For the last few years she has been
afflicted with rheumatism but she
died from cancer of the stomach. The
funeral services were conducted in
the Holman undertaking parlors by
William Hammond, who read the
Episcopal service. Several friends of
the old woman attended the funeral
and accompanied the body to the
grave.
Few Relatives
Though she had many friends
among the Whites, she had. few rela
tives among tthe people of. her own
tribe that were closely tied to her
by blood. "Indian Henry" at Molalla
is her cousin and her closest relative.
She was a member of the Klamath
tribe of Indians but became friendly
to the whites in her early days and
has associated with them even after
the government placed the members
of her tribe on the Klamath reserva

community and has a gaeat many

for the services that she had render

ITS DISPLAY FOR FAIR
The people of Gladstone, a thriv

Oregon City, are so proud of the pro
gress they have made since incorpo
ration that they are planning to make
a .novel exhibit at the Clackamas
County Fair, which will be held at
Canby on September 24, 25, 26 and
27. The Gladstone exhibit, as plan-,
ned, will be unique, and will combine
displays of agricultural products with
samples of municipal development.
Part of the exhibit will be compos
ed of maps and drawings of the Glad
stone municinal street imnrovement
plant, including gravel pit, grading
machine, road-oiling plant and stan
dard specifications; and accompany
ing this will be a map showing the
miles of completed street work."
Gladstone holds the record for
Oregon of having the most economi
cal street plant in the state, and is
able to improve its highways at a cost
of from 65 cents to one dollar a yard,
depending on the class of improve
ment. . Aside from this display, there will
be an exhibit of fruits, vegetables and
grains raised in Gladstone, and the
management of the Clackamas Coun
ty Fair believes that the municipal
showing to be made will attract much
interest among the fair visitors.

PORTLAND AGREES TO GIVECIT'

Pipe Line Involved
After repeated trips to Portland
and innumerable conferences with the
officials of that city, the members of
the water committee from the Oregon
City Council have successfully nego
tiated the question of securing a sup
ply of Bull Run water from the Mount
i aDor reservoir Tor tne people ner
and have, at last, gained the consent
of the Portland board of city commis
sioners to the plan of tapping the sup
ply at that point.
Negotiations for the purpose of
agreeing on the terms under which
the unlimited supply of water will be
furnished to the city will be conduct
ed between Portland and Oregon City
hv r.nmmisRianir Dalv who has hen
authorized to come to a tentative
agreement over the matter by his
city council.
Within the next few days, it is
probable that the terms under which
the city of Portland would allow Ore
gon City to tap the reservoir will be
reached and the city council will be
notified of the demands that the Bay
City will make for the service that
is given. -
It is understood that Portland wish
es to specifically provide in the con
tract between the two cities that she
mav discontinue the sunnlv at anv
time that her own demands are such
that tie entire capacity of the reser
vois is needed at that place.
Though many suggestions, have
been made by the representatives of
the two cities, no definite agreements
have been framed or any positive un
derstanding been reached. Council
man Tooze Thursday night declared
that while they had discussed at the
conferences the terms that Portland
might insist upon, nothing definite
had been framed nor any positive
agreement reached as to the way in
which this city should receive its new
water supply.
May Use Meter
Among other questions that have
been discussed as to the terms of the
agreement has been that of installing
a meter on the main that taps direct
ly the reservoir on Mount Tabor. Var
ious other details of the arrangements
have been talked over in the confer
ences that have been held but noth
ing definite even in the way of sug
gestions has been received from the
city of Portland or any positive under
standing made.
To construct a pipe line that would
tap the reservoir on Mount Tabor
would cost the city considerable mon
ey as an initial expense, it is said, as
the line would have to run approxi
mately 10 miles to the point of intake.
Under the. plan, the city would con
struct its own mains and would tap
! the Portland reservoir at Mount Ta
bor where the pressure is such that
the present pumps would not be nec
essary to carry the water over the
hill or to maintain a high enough
force of water to meet any emergency
in case of fire.
Up a Long Time
The question of the possibility of
securing the Bull Run water supply
has been agitating the city council
for more than a year. The idea was
.first suggested through the columns
of the Enterprise about 18 months
ciV-. j. -i i o afi ex. i. l uuv Limv au v
cated the construction of the city
mains to the reservoir on Mount Ta
bor and the city council has been
making an effort to gain the consent
of the council of the city of Portland
to the plan before the work was com
menced. In order to reach an understanding
with that citv. thp mnvnr has nTmnint-
ed a water committee that has had the
! matter in its hands since that time and
has made great progress in the nego
I tiations. From time to time the com
j mittee has made reports to the city
I council on the work that it has done
and has shown that it has been hard
