Charles Heimberg, aged 36 year3,
blew the top of his head off Friday
morning at the home of ,T. M. Hallo
well in Gladstone, near Oregon City.
He came to the Hallowell ranch and
secured work, and Thursday night was
instructed tT get up at 6 o'clock and
-light the kitchen fire.
Ha.Ho well left his home before day
li.'U for Portland with a load of farm
produois, and about 6 o'clock Heim
berg arose and placed paper and
Mndlinps in the stove, but did not
light the fire. He took a shot gun
and a sincr'.e shell from a corner of
the Vi'e.hcn and went out into the
wodrhff! and ended his life. The
shot '--as heard by Mr. Hallowell's
son pud daughter, who found the body.
Reimbers has no relations so far
as known and has evidently been
workinz ns a laborer in Oregon and
Washington for several years. A book
in his pocket shows that he has been
employed by the Southern Pacific
company at points on the West Side
division during the last year, and that
he worked for the Wheeler Lumber
Co. Heimberg was five feet nine
inches tall and weighed 175 pounds.
He had complained of not feeling
well and had a card from Bing Chong,
a Portland Chinese doctor in his
pocket. Coroner Wilson made an in
vestigation and will bury the man in
the csunty cemetery Saturday.
Some people pay a dollar a pound
for candy to get it in fine boxes; but
if you just want the candy and take
it in a plain white sack you can buy
it for 50c a pound at Huntley Bros.

its the equal of the dollar kind, we'll
refund your money. The introduction
price today is only 35c per pound; 20c

FRANCHISES RUSHED
THROUGH -COUNCIL
Gladstone has passed through the
first readings two telephone fran
chises in the shortest session of the
city council on record.
That city has established a record
for quick work in its council meetings
and transacted some cf the most im
portant business that has come before
the city fathers there in exactly one
minute and thirty seconds after the
minutes had been read and approved.
The application for franchises made
by the Home Telephone company and
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company were passed through the
first reading and will come up again
for final consideration on the second
Tuesday in November.
Under the terms of the franchise,
one per cent of the gross receipts will
be turned over to the city. In addi
tion, the city will receive the use and
benefit of all cf the free telephone
service that it may need.
Andrew Lsng, a young man froi)
Molalla, is in the county seat. He
was hunting several days ago out in
the country near that town when his
gun was accidently discharged. The
bullet plowed along his right side,
carrying along about three inches or
flesh down to the rib. The wound is
not serious although had the bullet
struck in a quarter of an inch fur
ther it would have caused his death.
ENTERTAINMENT
The Knights and Ladies' Macca
bees of Tualatin Tent, No. 74, will

State Commander Sherwood will
deliver an address. All Maccabees

The Grosser Kurfuerst of the North German Lloyd line was the hero rescue ship of the international fleet th;it
saved a total of .nearly 500 passengers and crew from the ill fated Volturno of the Uranium line, which burned at
sea while bound from Rotterdam to Halifax.- The upper picture shows the midship section of the Grosser Kurfuerst
crowded with the 105 rescued passengers, all men, as the ship reached New York: The lower picture shows the
Volturno burning, with some of the passengers still aboard. This picture was taken from the Grosser Kurfuerst
and gives a good idea of what the doomed ship looked like while the rescue vessels were saving those who' had not
previously been burned or drowned. The Kroonhind is standing bv

BY OSTEOPATHS
MEMBER OF STATE BOARD HAS
DECLARED HIS STAND IN
LOCAL CONTROVERSY
HEALTH OFFICER IS QUALIFIED
Believes Present Official Can Hold
Place Under State Laws and
Has Passed Through
. Ordeal Himself
Until the court of last resort in the
state has declared against him. Dr.
J. A. VanBrakle, the osteopathic
health officer of the county, will hold
his position in the county service.
The doctor plans to fight every
step that the regulars make and he
has the support and co-operation of
the society to which he belongs in the
state. Until, however, an effort is
made by the old line physicians to
oust him from office and he has to
take a stand in defense of his posi
tion, he will continue to perform the
duties of county health officer here.
Dr. F. E. Moore, one of the mem
bers of the state board of medical ex
aminers, said over long distance
phone in Portland yesterday: "In the
absence of a decision from the su
preme court of the state, Dr. Van
Brakle will continue in his present
position. The opinion of the attorney
general is simply an opinion at best.
Is Qualified.
"The doctor is fully qualified to per
form the duties that devolve upon a
county health officer in this state. I
have been on the state board of medi
cal examiners and have examined the
doctors of the state for the past six
years. I have had reason to compare
the requirertientsxthat are held against
the medical men and against the oste
opaths. I know that the requirements
of the osteopath do not suffer by,
the comparison. -
"Too Dr. Van Brakle is particularly
well qualified for the position that he
(Continued on page 4)

holds and has had the trainingthat
makes him thoroughly capable "or fill
ing the place under the county court.
I was back at the American School of
Osteopathy during the time that he
was taking his training there, and I
there became acquainted with him
and had the opportunity "to observe
the work that he was doing.
Thorough Education.
"He has had a thorough medical ed
ucation and his training has been such
that I feel no court after it has gone
into the subject thoroughly would
oust him from office. The require
ments for medical practice are more
severe in the case of osteopaths than
they are in regard to the regular
physicians. Under the law any man
on the street who happens to want to
become a doctor can take the examin
ation and force this board to give it
to him. If he successfully passes it,
he can practice medicine as well as
can any of those who have had their
training in a medical college.
Must Have Diploma.
"On the other hand, an osteopath
cannot even take the examination un
til he has shown a diploma from a
recognized school of osteopathy. The
course itself covers every feature that
the regular doctors get in their course
of study with the exception of materia
medica, or the mixture and use of
drugs. It includes surgery and the
use of the knife which is a well estab
lished feature of the course.
Old Decisions.
"The decisions that the doctors
have evidently submitted to the at
torney general are antiquated deci
sions. They have come from courts
during the early history of the pro
fession when it was not on nearly as
firm a footing as it is now and when
every step of the way had to be
fought through the courts for the rec
ognition that we now have in every
state of the union. -
"If they had submitted the recent
decisions of the courts where osteo
pathy has had a better chance to
show its worth, the result might have
been different. The newer decisions,
those handed down in recent years
are favorable. The original ones are
more or less against the profession.
The only decisions that they can of
fer are the ones that were given by
the courts years ago and that can
now have no bearing upon the cise
at issue in Clackamas county."

gate 18,690 acres, develop 21,716 horse
power, as well as for municipal and
domestic use. The construction of
the works described in these permits
would cost approximately $2,300,000,
