hall at Williams arenue and Ivy street
Mr. Proebstel has made two trips
to Ireland to Inquire Into trie status of
the heirs of the estate of Wendel
Proebstel and his wife. who was Jana
Chapman. lie said that he had ob
tained documentary proof that the sup
posed heirs who sold their interest to
127 acres owned by Jane Proebstel
wero not heirs, and obtained the $3000
they received by fraud.
Titles Long I'nder Cloud.
Wendel Proebstel and his wife took
the claim In 1331. No real title, had
passed, said the speaker, and every lot
rested under a cloud. He added that
he had found the real helra and haj
obtained deeds and power to act.
When Jlr. Proebstel had concluded
his statement. G. E. Baker, attorney
for fha Proebstel Adjustment Company,
set forth the plan for clearing tho
title to all the property In the tract.
He said that before sales could be
made the tltlea must be cleared up.
and this the Adjustment Company
would undertake to do at the rate of
ft a lot. It would be done through
registration proceedings, and the stale
would stund back of the deed. He ex
plained thxt money would be used to
pay the cost of the proceedings, and
what was left would go to the owners
of the estate. Much expense has been
Incurred by J. C. Proebstel In hla two
trips to Ireland and other places In
his search for the real heirs, said Mr.
Faker, with the result that every lot
owner could now lift the cloud from
his home.
Offer Not Accepted.
The speaker was questioned freely.
One man asked why Mr. Proebstel did
not take possession If he held the real
coeds and wanted to know how many
mora heirs might be found In Ire

could be given that Mr. Procbstel'a In
formation was reliable.

by the Title Guaranty Trust Com
pany, which failed.
Tho total cost of clearing title
through the Adjustment Company waa
estimated at f:0.000.

ORKCONIAN XEW3 BUREAU. Wash
ington. Oct. At a hearing granted
Jointly by Secretary Nagvl and Census
Director Durand today, a delegation of
citisens of Tacoma voiced a vigorous pro
teat s gal net the announcement that Ta
corua's population la only &2.9T2 and asked
for re-enumeration, or some further ad
justment. "
It was xoutly maintained by this dele
gation that Tacoina has an actual popula
tion In excess of luu.iwu. and Special
Agent McK.er.xie. who lopped off more
than 33.WU0 names, returned originally by
eumerators, was denounced for hla al
leged unfairness. .
No drcMon aaa reached at today's
conference and the matter will be taken
uo again tomorrow when Secretary
Nagel is expected to announce what
action he will take. After today's con
ference. Secretary Nagel said emphati
cally that the original returns from Ta-
cotna were padded, but he was not pre
pared to say to what extent they bad
been Inflated.
He also was willing to admit that
when the schedules were being re
vised In September many citizens
might have been out of town, and
therefore been overlooked. From this
It Is Inferred that some concessions
may be made to Tacoma. but lu8t what
will be done 1 not announced, cen
sus . Director Durand said after the
conference that tf a re-enumeration
Is ordered It will be complete and will
not be confined to those districts
where padding waa discovered. He
also emphasizes the fact that If tnere
Is a recount Tacoma will have to abide
by the second set of figures, no mat
ter what they may be.
Mr. Durand tonight announced that
In all probability the population of all
Pacific Coast cities may be wimneia
for two or three weeks, as a result of
the agitation started by Tacoma. He
does not believe it advisable to give
out the population of other places tin
til this Tacoma affair Is straightened
out.

L
Success of Bowerman Would
Vindicate Law, Dimick
Says at Rainier.
VOTERS WARNED OF PLOT
Columbia County Citizens Out in
Force to Attest Approval of Re
publican Ticket Much En
thusiasm Is Shown.
RAINIER, Or., Oct. . (Special.) "If
the people would preserve their direct
primary law, let them not fall into the
trap of Its enemies. Republicans who
voted In the primary election must abiue
by the results. Otherwise Its effect wiu
be weakened and the brand of Ineffi
ciency placed upon it. I appeal to all
friends of the primary law and those who
supported me for Governor In the pri
mary campaign to ratify the choice of
the people Jay Bowerman and the other
nominees of the party."
Such was the warning to the voters of
Oregon uttered by Grant B. DlmicK,
champion of the primary law and state
ment Xo. 1. who was Mr. Bowerman's
closest opponent in the recent primary
election.
Bourne Is Man to Beat.
"Jonathan Bourne, not Oswald West. Is
the man that Jay Bowerman and the Re
publican party has got to beat at the
next election. Judge Dimick added.
"Bourne Is the man who Is making this
vicious fight for West. His object is to
safeguard his seat In the United States
Senate, where he has failed to make
good.
Every section of Columbia County waa
represented here tonight at a rousing
mass meeting in the Rainier Opera
house. So far as making any campaign
waa concerned. Mr. Bowerman need not
have called here. For he found Rainier
and Columbia County all his own way.
"At the polls Xovember 8 the county Is
going to give the Republican standard
bearer a five to one vote," aay leading
Republicans.
"Oswald West, the Bourne-Chamber
lain machine candidate, has no standing
at all In Columbia County." say the peo
ple of Rainier. No one has been heard
of. Republican or Democrat, who la go
ing to cast his vote In perpetuation of the
machine and its protege. In putting the
outcome at five to one for Bowerman.
Columbia County Republicans say they
merely want to be ultra-consecvatlve.
People Come In Wagons.
Residents of the county gathered from
every quarter to attend tonight's Bower
man meeting. From the Interior of tho
county many people came In by wagon.
Clatakante sent up a line of boats filled
a 1th people, accompanied by the Clats
k.inle Brass Band, which serenaded the
Republican leader. A large delegation
from St. Helena was present. The crowd
mas far larger than the opera-house
a )iild hold and many stood through the
i.:-tns. Afterwards the visitors were
guests of honor at a public banquet.
Judge Dimick came from Oregon City
for the meeting- and his appearance
upon-the stand In behalf of his former
opponent was the signal for enthusiastic
cheering. The speaker presented in a
forceful manner the main lames of this
campaign the elimination of Bournelpm
and the preservation of the Imperiled
direct primary law.
"The direct primary law must be safe
guarded at this time If we would per
petuate It." said he. "If the Repub
lican voters fail to elect the candidates
they nominated then by their own act
they stamp the direct primary law as a
failure. If we want that law strength
ened and guarded we should exercise
every effort to elect every candidate
nominated by our party.
Men at Issue Compared.
"A word concerning the two men who
are the crime factors In this election:
Bowerman is a man of the highest char
acter. I have known him for many
years. His Integrity and honesty have
never been questioned. His political ca
reer Is without blemish. In the Legis
lature he was to be found supporting
those measures favorable to the people.
He stood by the people and not by the
corporations, as the records clearly show.
"On the other hand is Bourne, the man
behind the machine and the man whom
Bowerman has in reality to cope with In
this campaign. A man In the United
States Senafe should be clean. Bourne
is not such a man. There is much in his
past record to stamp him as an undesira
ble. It will be hard to forget the fact of
his holding up of the Legislature several
years ago. when by use of bawds and
booze he prevented the organization of
the lower house, mado it Impossible to
get legislation through the hold-up and
placed a burden of thousands of dollars
in extra cost on the taxpayers.
"The people were deceived Into send
ing him to the Senate. I am inclined to
blame tbe press of the state for not
sounding the warning against such a
man. He has been a failure. We must
not perpetuate him."
Bowerman Discusses Bourne.
Mr. Bowerman was presented by
Judge J. B. Doane, who presided, aa
"the next Governor of Oregon, and the
man best fitted for that office." The
Acting; Governor made an able and Im
pressive presentation of the issues of
this campaign and the principles upon
which he stands. He outlined hla
views on economy, good roads, and the
Improvement and referma which he ad
vocates. Taking up tbe subject of the Bourne
machine's fight upon him. Mr. Bower
man said: Jonathan Bourne has rea
son for wishing to secure my defeat.
As representative of the people of Ore
gon In the United States Senate, he has
frittered away their time, responding
to roll call less than half the time.
He has allowed 1 10.000.000, belonging
to this state and available for Irriga
tion purposes, to go by default. He
has wasted his time In playing golf,
poker and other pastimes for which he
Is noted. He got the 'office by political
trickery, deceit, debauchery and the Il
legitimate and unlawful use of his
large fortune, and la seeking to retain
the place by the same methods, rather
than by honest work In behalf of Ore
gon, i
Hope Lies In Machine.
"He sees the storm that la brewing.
He Is seeking to stave off the Inevit
able. He hopes by the building up of a
powerful state machine to use the or
ganization In effecting his re-election
two years hence. That la his object
In going Into partnership with Cham
berlain and putting his forces at work
behind Oswald West, Chamberlain's
trusted protegee, who can be depended,
goods-' He Is, Indeed, the man who "de
upon to obey ordera and 'deliver the
livers the goods.' That's all they want
him for.
"Bourne Is a champion of the direct
primary taw. In that respect he is a
hypocrite. He favors that law only In
so far aa It serves his ends. When

the primary law does not operate to
hla liking, as In the last primary elec
tion, he says arbitrarily: 'Do not
abide by the primary law. Defeat the
choice of the people for they are not my
choice.' And this Is an imperial man
date to his loyal subjects commanding
them to do his bidding."
People WIU Tlule.
Mr. Bowerman reiterated his pledge
aa to the laws of the people. "I will
protect all laws of the people," said
he. "and If elected Governor will exer
cise the Influences of that- office and
the power of the veto If necessary In
protecting those laws which the people
have written upon the statute ' books.
This applies to the direct primary.
Statement No. 1 and all the laws of the
people. If there are to be any changes,
those changes must come from the peo
ple themselves."
Mr. Bowerman leaves at an early hour

and The Dalles. A meeting - will be
held tomorrow afternoon at Hood

NORMALS MCST BE IMPROVED
Bowerman Favors Putting Schools on
Legitimate Bapis.
ASTORIA, Or.. Oct. 26. (Special.)
Through an error in transmission. Acting
Governor Bowerman was quoted In The
Oregonian of today as saying that normal
school certificate would not pass lta bear
ers with the same examination taken by
others. What he eid was -that the nor
mal school certificates were not accepted
without the same examination aa given
all others.
"I favor normal training," said Mr.
Bowerman today. "I am opposed only
to the system employed in the legisla
ture where Representatives combine in
securing appropriation for the normal
schools and other Institutions and thus
delay- legislation and interfere with tho
workings of the Legislature. My con
tention is that the normal schools
should be placed on a legitimate bas'.en
and I opposed them at the last Legisla
ture merely becaune they were below por
and In order that the people might have
an opportunity of dealing with them as
they see fit."

by a microbe which also produces bald
ness. Never use a comb or brusli be
longing to someone else. No matter
how cleanly the owner may be, these
