VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec. 16. (Spe cial.) Fear of Friday hoodoo did not deter seven couples from coming to this popular Gretna Green to be mar ried yesterday. It frequently happens that not a single couple is married on Frldav or on the 13th. One far-sighted bride yesterday, be- Yore eolne with her prospective hus band to secure the marriage license, first visited the permit clerk and ob talned permission to have 24 quarts of beer shipped to her. Then she went ahead and was married, changing her name, to that there may be some little question to settle when the shipment arrives.

Culp, who will be heard at the Heillg December 30. Her opulent voice and beautiful art are familiar. When her consummate art Is reinforced by her voice at its loveliest, she Is ir resistible. Julia Culp Is the one artist to whom English song writers owe many a debt of gratitude. In spite of the fact that American singers and teachers have contended that English Is the hardest of all languages In which to sing, this wonderful woman from the pic turesque land of windmills has taught Doth Englishmen and Amerloans that their own language Is Just as musical as any other. In fact, there is hardly a programme that Mme. Culp sings In which there la not an English group Mme. Culp has always loved the old English songs and of late she has been interested In the works of young Eng lish composers. She was the first to Introduce the works of John Alden Car penter to an American audience. Her Judgment In selecting works by young American and English composers has been exceptionally fine and any young composer who Is fortunate enough to have Mme. Culp place his song on a programme can consider himself for tunate indeed. VANCOUVER. NOT HIT Tacoman Says Brigade Post Surely Will Be Retained. LOSS TO DISTRICT FEARED Portland Aid Asked to Get Division Headquarters for Regular Array at American Lake That All Points May Gain. Plans for the establishment of a di vision headquarters for the regular Army at Arnerlcan Lake, near Tacoma, need not Interfere with the ambitions of Portland to retain Vancouver Bar racks as brigade post. This Is the assuring message brought to Portland by Stephen C. M. Appleby, cashier of the National Bank of Ta coma and chairman of the American Lake site committee of that lcty. Mr. Appleby had heard of the inten tions of the Portland Chamber of Com merce and oth?r loyal organizations here to contest the plans to of the War Department to concentrate the defen sive forces of the North Pacific Coast at American Lake. Portland Said to Be Misinformed. 1 believe that the Portland people are misinformed on the situation," com mented Mr: Appleby. it is a question of s-ettlnsr tha di vision headquarters at American Lake or not getting them at all. . 'The War College, the General Staff and the Army engineers have recom mended the American Lake site. If that site Is not available the headquarters will go somewhere east of the Cascades. Coqnille Pioneer Merchant Dies. MARSHFIELD, Or., Dec. 16. (Spe clal.) Nicholas Lorenz, said to hav been the pioneer merchant of Coqullle Clty died there at the age of 80. Mr. Lorenz had been a resident or the city for many -years, but lately retired from business and turned It over to his son, Henry Lorenz. Besides this son there axe three other sons and two daugh ters: George and Edward, of Coqullle Charles, of Bandon; Mrs. M. J. Hart son. of Coqullle, and Mrs. Norton, of Secretary Baker, of the War Depart ment, has signed the order for the American Lake site and has stipulated his Intention of establishing the post there If the necessary land is presented to the Government with a title satis factory to the Attorney-General. "Our understanding Is that Van couver will lose nothing by this Im provement. The Intention Is to retain Vancouver In Its present form. More over, It will be an auxiliary station for the major unit at American Lake. "The present plans of the War Col lege are to provide adequate defense lor the Pacific Coast. It is a question of furnishing the most effective de fense for the entire country not of satisrying the ambitions of any partie ular community. Tacoma Exveete to Gain. 'Fortunately, Tacoma happens to be near the proposed site. We are glad of that and propose to take full advan tage of the situation. But Portland need not suffer. It Is well known that the merchants of Portland have every opportunity to bid on the contracts for supplies at American Lake. It is pos sible that Portland will benefit from it quite as much as Tacoma. Mr. Appleby explained that the Deo pie of Pierce County. Washington, will hold a special election next week on the proposal to Issue J2.000.000 In bonds to pay for 70,000 acres of land const! tuting the proposed American Lake site. It Is Intended, If the bond Issue passes, to acquire the land by condem nation proceedings and to present it to tne Government. The Government has agreed, on that condition, to establish the headquar ters there. Mr. Appleby explained the situation here Friday to committees of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and to other Interested cltlsens. He wants them to co-operate with Tacoma In the effort to secure the headauartera for the Northwest and to prevent It from going east or the mountains.
