PURE AIR and
SUNSHINE CURE
NATURES MEANS BEST
Dr. Rucker Sends Message to Suffer-
crs from TuberculOsiS-Health Ser
vice Department Learns Secret OF
Friedman Remedy-No Comment
Made on the Matter.

Washington, May 10-Through the
United Press, DIR. Rucker, assistant
surgeon general of the United States
ers today throughout the country
who are looking to the Friedman
cure for salvation. He said:
Pure food, air, sunshine and
proper living and not those panaceas
which are widely heralded or recon-
mended by some willing friend, may
effect a cure for tuberculosis
1t has become positively known to-
day the public health service has
learned the secret of Friedmann's en-
tire treatment. Rucker refused to
comment on this matter but another
service surgeon declared the fact was
discovered in Germany.
Friedman gave service of only the
culture which forms the basis of his
compound for the treatment but did
not give the secret preparation of the
culture. The government learned,
however. the culture is merely a vir
ulent bacill killed by heat
DIR. Rucker displayed letter from
a Michigan woman asking him to
send Friedmann's cure for her son.
This letter. said Rucker, would
make a wooden Indian weep. l
wrote her what I'm telling all tuber-
cuosis sufferers. to use the remedies
which nature has provided. The
government cannot tell tuberculosis
victims not to use the Friedman
remedy nor can the government rec
ommend' it until its curative powers
are proved"

OPIUM GANG MAY BE
REVEALED BY ARREST

Baker. Ore, May 1O.-With the ar
rest of Frank ]. Allen, with $40 worth
oF opium on his person, it is prob
able that one of the largest smuggl-
ing swindles in the Northwest will be
unearthed.
He was picked up by Officer Rob
ut Nelson in Chinatown, after he
had attempted to dispose of the drug
among the local Chinese colony. He
carried 81 cans of the drug. There
are very few Celestials in the city at
present who use the sleep dope"
and those that are discovered are i'm
mediately arrested.
Allen. it is said, owns a ranch near
Hermiston, and is quite we'll known
in that community. 1t is thought that
the gang maintains branches all over
the entire Northwest, as Allen carried
a paper to the amount of $4,000 on a
La Grande bank at the time OF his ar
rest.

Burroughs Complimented.

The report shows that the recorder
earned and deposited with the treas
urer during the year 1911, ,$5449 so and
in 1912 $5233. The expert pays Ben
S. Burroughs. the present incumbent,
n high Ntribute for his methods in
keeping his books. The report says:
compared the record with the re-
corder's fee book on all of the above
fees, and find that they are correctly
entered in the fee book, and that they
are all entered.
This is an unusually good record
feel like complimenting Mr.. Bur-
roughs on his fee book and record.
The fee book goes into more detail
than any other | have examined iden-
tification is certain in every instance.
But | understand that he works from
about $50 a. m. to p. m. and that
he is there with these books all the
time. His fee book proves this, be-
ing entirely in his handwriting. His
infirmity seems to cOnfine him en-
tirely to his office, which is most un-
usual in any county officer, or in any
office man, public or private. For a
man on crutches. Mr.. Burroughs has
put up the best record l have ever
| seen.
No criticism is made of either the
| county treasurer or county school SUI
perintendent. His report on the for
mer's books show balance on hand
January /, 1911, of sS1,666.59, the to-
tai disbursements for 1911, s4S1,49O,-

Lords Code claws 1905) all fees for
mileage collected in Umatilla county
provided for in civil cases, and does
not pay the same to the county treas
urer.
The attorney general, in a written,
published opinion holds that the sher-
ifs in Oregon have no legal author
ity for collecting any fees or mileage.
This opinion is generally disregarded
by the several sheriffs in the state,
for the very obvious reason that if no
fees are charged for such services the
cost would fall entirely upon the tax
payers generally which any one can
see would not be right. For the
courts generally allow the sheriff his
expenses while travelling on such SER
vices. and, of course, the taxpayers
pay the bill. The reasoning in the
Dunbar case by the supreme court,
was to the effect that as the legisla-
ture had fixed the maximum fee in
civil cases to be collector by the clerk
that such fee entirely provided for.
and stood in lieu of both clerks and
sheriffs' fees and all fees in civil
cases. This may not, however, apply
to Umatila county since the law de-
filming the sheriff's duties in this
county was passed in 1905
An examination of Sheriff Taylor's
tax books shows only a discrepancy
of 95 cents caused by errors in two
entries.
