ALBANY PREPARING
FDR WEW PRESIDEraT
Oregon Presbyterians to Join
in Ceremonies.
PRESENT FACULTY STAYS
A. M. Williams Announces Tradi
tions of College Will Prevail I'n
dcr His Administration.
A LEANT, Or.. rc 7. (Special.)
Flans are being made for the in
auguration of A. M. Williams, new
president of Albany college, some
time in January. The date has not
been fixed but plana are going, for
ward for an event in -which prominent
Presbyterians from various sections
of the state -will participate. The
board of trustees of the college has
appointed a. committee consisting of
J. M. Haivkins, Dr. Wallace Howe Lee
and C. C. Bryant to arrange for the
Inauguration ceremonies.
The board of trustees has commit
ted to the new president the outlin
ing of the programme of develop
ment which will be followed in the
next few years. Mr. Williams, when
asked for a statement regarding the
future policies of the college, said
that his election to the presidency
was a surprise to him and that a
programme of action had not been
worked out. He said, however, that
he contemplated no faculty changes at
this time 'and that the high standard
of scholarship and the distinct Chris
tian character of the school would
bo maintained. Other matters per
taining to the inside management of
the school are under consideration,
be said, and would be announced
later.
'Financial Plan Detailed.
"We at Albany remember that Al--bany
college Is a child of the synod
of Oregon of the Presbyterian
church," said the new president. "The
synod last July commended the col
lege to the Presbyterian constituency
over the state, particularly in the
matter of the new financial plan
which the trustees began to put un
der way last summer. Thi3 plan
originated with the general board of
education in New York, of which Rev.
Edgar P. Hill, D. D., a former pastor
of the First Presbyterian church of
Portland, is the secretary.
"The board proposes that in the
next th- years we raise $30,000 in
Oregon fW ne college and that they
will gi-" college $15,000 in the
three j-. About one-third of Ore
gon's Quota was subscribed last sum
mer by hi citizens of Albany. In
Albany Ve expect in January to .in
crease onr subscriptions to J15.000
nd then go over the state to get
the balance of the needed J30.000 to
meet the offer of the general board
of education. This money, it is found,
with the income from the permanent
endowment, will enable the college
to meet its current needs.
Co-Operation Is Welcomed.
The college will seek also to com
ply with the synod's direction respect
ing closer co-operation with the
United Presbyterian church in the
general management and control of
the Institution."
Alfred Melvin Williams, the new
head of Albany college, is a native
of Oregon. His parents were pio
neers, coming to the Willamette val
ley in their youth. He was graduat
ed in 1896 from the college that has
elected him ,its head and was grad
uated in 1903 from the Cumberland
university in Tennessee, being an
honor man in his classes in both
schools. He was editor of the Cum
berland Weekly, the student paper in
the southern institution, was a mem
ber of the Phi Kappa Alpha frater
nity. He was editor of the college
annual one year and on the staff of
that publication other years.
Since returning to the coast he
has served as pastor of Presbyterian
churches in McMinnvllle, Seattle and
Albany. Some of the trustees in speak
ing of Mr. Williams' fitness for the
presidency of Albany college have in
dicated that in this case the time has
come for the abrogation of the old
adage that a "prophet is not without
honor save In bis own country."
SUGAR PUNT TO CLOSE
StlNNVSIDE; WASH., FACTOIiY
IS SHORT OF FUEL.
Thousands of Tons of Beets Remain
Undelivered and Quantities
Still In Ground.
TAKIMA, Waeh., Dec. 7. (Special.)
Shortage of fuel in the Yakima val
ley owing to the strike will cut short
the season of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company's plant in Sunnyside, accord
ing to company officials. The Sunny
side factory will close down as soon
as the beets now on its dump are cut,
and undelivered beets will be eut to
the Toppenish plant, which has coal
sufficient for an extended run. Ten
carloads of coal are being shipped
from Toppenish to the Sunnyside
plant to enable the latter to finish
its season.
Thousands of tons of beets remain
undelivered and many are still undug.
Freezing will not hurt them, but thev
cannot bo dug until the weather mod
erates. Forty-five thousand tons of
beets hai-p been delivered and it is
said that 15.000 to 20,000 tons remain
undelivered.
The company, says Manager T. R
Home, shortly after the first of the
year will begin a campaign to in
crease the production of beets to en
able the factories to make long runs
The company proposes to lease all
available land. The fame of Yakima
as a beet-growing section is attract
ing the expert growers from other
sections he said, and these men will
be placed on the land.
Women In Java Eager to
Come to Oregon.
Two "Bachelor adle" In Orient
llave Lyra on Hood lllver.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 7. (Spe
cial.) Because America is a land
where educated women may work In
the acids, if they choose, without be
littling themselves, and because it is
a land of prohibition Madame Van
Doetinchem of Soekaboemi, Java,
Dutch East India, wants to come to
Hood River.
Madame Van Doetinchem, who says
the is an officer's widow, writes the
Hood River commercial club that a
number of copies of Better Fruit, for
merly pulilioiieU kuio but now issued
in Portland, recently came to her in a
batch of books sent out by relatives,
fcihe writes:
"We should like to look over the
situation at Hood River for our people
at Singapore who have some money
and who might invest in Hood River
in the orchard business. Being two
bachelor ladies we should like to pio
neer for them and other friends.
"Will you kindly tell us what is the
cost to travel from Tacoma to Hood
River by train or motor car? Can we
bring our dog with uh over there?
Are there many Germans and Hol
landers in the orchard business at
Hood River? Reason why I ask this
is that we are Hollanders with Ger
man and English relations, but. even
born in Java, we are white people.
"Could you advise us a decent hotel
t
. 'i
f
A. M. Williams, new president
' of Albany college.
where ladles can stay In Tacoma? I
guess when a motor car is not eo
expensive, traveling by it Is more
interesting and we can see everything
properly. How many days do we
travel by car?
"I guess when we are there and do
not find the cost of living too much
we will send for our little grand
daughters, that they can learn and
enjoy the country life and business
and partake of good schools. Such
scorching weather like here is really
a hell for children as well as adults.
"My daughter and I have no money
ourselves, except my pension monthly
and support from family, and if there
are opportunities for well educated
ladies -to work in orchards we should
like to join it and earn some money.
Here In Java well educated ladies
can't work everything they like. 1
admire the Americans with their most
beautiful law and that everybody can
do the work he likes and is not called
low at all. And then what a great
luck to be in a prohibition state,' and
not like here among always drinking
people. How many Dutch families
are unhappy because the husbands
drink and the young sons, too! Isn't
that a shame, and the government
doesn't stop it. Yes, America is won
derful, and I hope we can arrange
matters to come there and earn some
money, first by working with others
to learn, and then by and by for our
selves. "We read much about the rabbit
plague there. We will take our dog
with us. He is a wonderful hunter
for that little rogue. Do you think
fares are high for a dog?"
TWOHRMB VETERAN DIES
CAREER OF JOSEPH FRISCO OF
WAIiJjA WALLA thrilling.
Capture of Hungarian Revolution
Soldier Followed by Entry In
Union Army of U. S.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Dec. 7.
(Special.) Joseph Frisco, who died
here Friday night at the age of 99,
probably witnessed during his life
time more suffering and war than
any other resident of Walla Walla.
- fought through the Hungarian
revolution with the rebels and also
fought with the union forces through
the civil war.
When be was six months of age his
father died; his mother remarried,
and when Frisco was 10 years of age
his mother, four step-brothers and
sisters and his stepfather died of
cholera. Relatives did not want him
and he bad a precarious time until
the revolution started. He fought in
13 battles in Hungary and was final
ly taken prisoner.
During the civil war Mr. Frisco
fought with the federal forces. In
Missouri and bad some narrow es
capes, attributing his escape to a
good horse. In May, 1865, Mr. Frisco
and his wife joined an immigrant
train for the west and had trouble
with the Indians on the way west.
The first white settlement was found
at Baker, Or., and Mr. Frisco decided
to stay there. The first night he
got out his violin and the citizens of
Baker danced nearly ail night. In
1872 the Friscos came to Walla Walla
and bought a farm, later moving to
the city of Walla Walla, where they
bought the home left by Mr. Frisco
at his death.
Mr. Frisco leaves his wife and three
children, in addition to ten grand
children and three great-grandchildren.

SHORT RECESS HITS
HUGNAfflf
Washington Representatives
Unable to Cover Districts.
BUSY SESSION FORECAST
Spirited Debate Is Expected When
Universal Military Training
Bill Conies Up for Action.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 7. (Spe
cial.) None of the members of Wash
ington's congressional delegation who
came home for the recess between jthe
special and regular sessions has been
able to do much campaigning for next
year's election.
Representative Lin H. Hadley of
Bellingham, representing the second
district, started back to Washington
last week without trying to visit all
his district. Representative J. Stan
ley Webster of Spokane, who spent
Saturday in Seattle and will leave for
home today, intending to start back
to the capital Monday night, found
his canvass of the fifth district cut
short by bad weather. Representa
tive John'F. Miller of Seattle has
been confined to his home by a bad
cold and though he does not intend
to reach Washington until late in the
month it Is doubtful whether he will
get over the first district.
Representative Webster, antici
pating a protracted session of con
gress and the likelihood that he will
be unable to get home before late In
the summer, expected to go into Oka
nogan and the northern tier of coun
ties. Snow made traveling by auto
mobile impossible and in the short
time he had Representative Webster
found the railroad trains would not
let him cover this district.
Spirited Debate Expected.
Representative Miller, who is a
member of the house committee on
military affairs, expects some legis
lation on universal training before the
regular session adjourns. Discussing
the condition of legislation on that
subject, Mr. Miller said today.
"Universal military training as out
lined by the various bills pending
before congress will precipitate prob
ably the most interesting, and spirited
debate to be had at the present ses
sion. The bill as outlined by the war
department and which has the In
dorsement of the general staff of the
army provides for a three months'
course of training, commencing in the
19th year of all able-bodied boys in
the country.
"For good cause shown, based upon
necessity, the training may be delayed
for a period of one year. The ma
chinery for the registration of those
subject to service, is very similar to
the selective draft law. Every boy is
required to register within 60 days
immediately following his 19th birth
day, be physically examined and en
rolled. Those having minor physical
defects capable of being remedied by
medical or surgical treatment are
given the option of having such
treatment performed by surgeons of
their own choosing at their own cost;
otherwise the army surgeons will be
called upon without expense to the
registrant.
HealtK Chief Object.
"The training season probably will
be during June and the first half of
July. Either one or two classes will
be organized and trained and then
they will be combined during the sec
ond half of July and the month of
August. The idea is to have the
training at such times as to interfere
the least possible with the school
year and also the vocational employ
ment of those not attending school.
"The idea is not only to lay the
foundation for a soldier's duty, but
devote strict and detailed attention
to health, hygiene and moral instruc
tion and probably certain vocational
lines. Courses of study and lectures
will be prominent in the training.
"The army bill provides that after
the training, certificates shall be giv
en and the boy discharged from fur
ther service.
"Other bills provide for a six
months' course with the same gen
eral training and in addition thereto
the registrant is placed in the na
tional reserve to be called out only
in case of war. Educators, army of
ficials, hyglenists and hundreds of
civic organizations are pressing legi-
lation not only on the ground or pro
viding an adequate military reserve in
case of emergency, but on account
of the betterment of the health of
the young men of the land.

Tribute to the lad's bravery is paid
by Dr. W. H. Johnson of Charleston,
S. C, captain in the medical corps
and stationed at the horpital.
"Not an unnecessary gtoan was ut
tered," Dr. Johnson writes, "and if a
new patient were admitted and began
to complain, someone would be sure
to say 'look at Gribble," who was not
known to utter a groan or change
the expression of his countenance in
the dressing or operating room when
everybody knew he was suffering
tortures. The immense wounds in his
left thigh were packed to the bone
with gauze and he bore other marks
on almost every part of his body.
"In all, I dressed daily 12 wounds
he bore. One night we found the bed
soaked with blood from one of these.
but rather than disturb other patients
he had not called, and had sacrificed
much blood.

free from physical defects needing
attention. There were 155, or more

and others stood in need of other
medical attention.
These facts give a glimpse of the
importance of the work of public
health nurses, one of the newest en
terprises of the Oregon Tuberculosis
association, to which Oregon con
tributes through the purchase of
Christmas seals.
"If the people of Oregon only real

problem confronts them nothing
could stop them from buying up ev

Miss Mary A. Brownell yesterday.
Onh through sale of the seals is

be applied on Oregon's public health
programme."

MS
SUR PRISED
Mrs. Winter Could Hardly Walk
When She Began Taking
Tanlac.
"I had been troubled with rheuma
tism so long that I couldn't walk, but
since I have taken Tanlac I never
have a pain of any kind and have
gone back to doing all my house
work," said Mrs. M. E. Winter, a prac
tical nurse, of 5913 Fifty-seventh ave
nue, southeast, Portland, Or., a few
days ago.
"For the past five years I have suf
fered something awful with rheuma
tism in my limbs and arms,"" con
tinued Mrs. winter, "and they ached
so badly I could scarcely straighten
them out. My knees were so swollen
and stiff that I could hardly get up
and down the steps, and the muscles
In my arras and limbs were drawn up
like they were tied in knots, and
many a time I would have to get up
during the night and rub liniment
or put hot applications on my limbs
before I could ease the pain. My
kidneys gave me a rot of trouble, and
I had such an awful pain across the
small of my back that at times I
could -hardly keep from screaming. I
was Dadiy constipated, and was
always taking laxatives, and often I
would have terrible dizzy spells. My
liver was always sluggish, and I was
troubled with indigestion so bad that
my appetite left me, and at night I
was never able to rest well because
of the pains.
"I had tried all kinds of medicines,
but could get only temporary relief,
and one day a man living here at my
home was telling the clerk in the
Owl drug store here in town about my
condition wnen another customer
stepped up and said: 'Tanlac is what
you want!' So he brought me a bot
tle. And the way I improved was a
surprise to me, and I continued to
take Tanlac until now all my five
years of troubles have left me en
tirely. I haven't a trace of rheuma
tism, and can sleep the whole night
through as sound as a child. My liver
and kidneys are in fine condition, and
the pain across the small of my back
has - disappeared completely, and I
can eat anything I want without any
bad effects at all. My constipated
condition has been relieved and 1
never have to take a laxative, and the
dizzy spells are a thing of the past.
Tanlac is the best medicine I have
ever seen, for it has given me per
manent relief after everything I had
tried had failed."

CHECK FOUND WORTHLESS
Warant for Arrest of Promoter Is
Issued at Eugene.
EUGENE, Or., Dec. 7. (Special.)
A warrant for the arrest of Captain
F. I. Honderick, promoter of a spark
plug factory project, has been issued,
charging him with passing a check
without having funds in the bank
with which to cover the amount
called for.
On November IS, it is said, Hon
derick gave to Mrs. Martin Clark a
check for $100 on the First National
bank of American Falls, . I?aho. Ac
cording to Mrs. Clark, Honderick told
her he had a farm near that city and
had money in that bank, but as he
needed $75 at once he would give her
a check for $100, the extra $25 being
compensation for the accommodation.
Mrs. Clark deposited the check in the
United States National bank here, but
when It was sent to the Idaho bank
for collection it was returned with
the mark "No funds.' '
