Xnmerala of Claaa of 1023 Flared oa Stone on College Campus. ALBANY COLLEGE. Albany, Or.. Nov. 5. (Special.) A big rock which was placed on the campus here by the class of 1900 has been re painted and now bears the numerals of the class of 1922. This rock has been painted and repainted many times, but on Halloween the senior rlaaa did such an effective job that " the rlaring numerals "22" obliterate all else. Much college tradition centers about this atone. When the senior class in 1900 moved the atone to the campus underclassmen stole it be fore it was set up and hauled it out into the country. Later the seniors found it and moved it back to the campus at night. Underclassmen watched the' operation and after most of the seniors had gone home charged the guards and tipped the stone over. On one night during one of the mix ups over the stone it was painted, one stde red and one green. A free-for-all fight occurred on one occasion and over the affair several students, some of whom are now prominent in business and professional circles in Oregon, were suspended tempor arily. Later the affair wound up In good natured class rivalry and subsequent i-onlests over the historic stone have been conducted on a good college spirit basis. mlttee headquarters in the Corbett building recently. "Here we stand at the crucial mo ment at the parting of the ways leading either to progress or stagna tion. Philadelphia and Boston have done the graceful thing by stepping aside for Oregon at our request. They have given over projects of their own for 1925 in our favor. "Congress has given the Oregon fair a vote of approval and President Harding has signed the bill and wished the exposition welL Other cities and states have sent along their good wishes. At least one foreign nation, Japan, has agreed, tentatively, to prepare an exhibit of the very best things that nation can produce and to participate fully. "It seems to me that Oregon's good name almost Is involved, and that much more than the exposition is at stake in the coming vote of Portland people. Having asked support and approval from outside cities, states, the nation and foreign governments, how can we withdraw with any good grace whatever at this stage? It seems to me we would look very silly to do so. ' "However, there is small chance, in my opinion, of the people committing themselves to such a repudiation of their expressed desires. 1 look for the tax measure to be voted and the exposition to be made a great suc cess. It would be ft. curious state of affairs were this not the outcome." ERjlOBSE Fl ROAD SALESMEN' UJfAXISlOrSLY APPROVE TAX MEASURE. TUNNEL BORE COMPLETED TWO SHIFTS OK MEN MEET AT CENTER OF PROJECT. Southern Pacific Route Through Elk Rock Develops Many Engineering Problems. Two shifts of men working from opposite ends of a tunnel through solid rock, met yesterday morning at 8:40 o'clock and the Oswego tunnel cn the Southern Pacific, six miles out In the Willamette river, one of the most Interesting tunnel projects In annals of .western contracting, was a bore from end to end Since June 1, last, men under the direction of Eric V. Hauser, head ol the Hauser Construction company of this city, had been working 24 hours a day attacking the mountain of ba salt rock from either end. When the shifts finally met yesterday, hav ing bored 1420 feet altogether, the centers of the two holes varied prob ably less than one-quarter of an inch. The debris could not be cleared away enough to run a line to fix the exact ness of this statement. ' It will take some time to clear the tunnel and prepare it for railway service. Train service probably will be in effect by December 1. The tun r.el is 18 feet wide at the base and has an average height of 23 feet. The cost Is about $200,000. The tunnel is on the Willamette branch of the electric interurban of the Southern Pacific. It is through Elk rock. Heretofore and until serv ice through the tunnel is in operation patrons of the line have traveled on cars on a wooden trestle which winds around the face of the rock far above the deepest portion of the Wil lamette river. The tunnel project had many novel features from engineering and other angles. There were 30.000 yards of rock to be removed by the bore. The Job was a rush one and it Is being completed practically on time. In moving in the construction crew the contractors bought an old excursion steamer, which they towed to Elk rock and made it into a camp. The workmen lived ia fine style on the old steamer. The time limit on the contract compelled the contractors to drive seven feet dally from either end ot the tunnel. Two big ateam shovels were used at the start, taking out material. After that two crews came on with their rock work and the re mainder of the Job was through drill ing and well-placed shots. JOHX DOUCAS INDICTED FOR NOVEL MONEY SCHEME. More Than 1500 Knights .of Grip Pledge Their Services and Vote for Exposition. Unanimous indorsement of the Ore gon 1925 exposition tax measure, to be voted on at the special city elec tion Saturday, November 19. was given by the Oregon and Washington division of the Travelers' Protective Association of America at the regu lar monthly meeting in this city yes terday morning. The indorsement carries with it the support and co-operation of the 1500 waveling men belonging to the or ganization in Portland, virtually every one of whom is a voter and tax payer. The Travelprs' Protective a??"ciK- Sainple Signatures Gathered From Incorrect Deposit Slips Found In Waste, It Is Said. By a simple yet clever device. John Doucas. alias J. Pappas, forged his way into considerable money In Port land during July and August of this vear. according to reports considered i by the Multnomah county grand Jury, which indicted Doucas on two counts yesterday. Doucas already is under arrest in Oakland. Cal., charged with similar offenses, but local authorities will ask his extradition if possible. Scarcely a bank In the city but was worked'' by Doucas during his brief stay here, it Is reported, and the money obtained would total many hundred dollars, according tp Samuel H. Pierce, deputy district attorney, who investigated the case. Doucas. so the report goes, would loiter about the lobby of a bank and. when the uniformed guards had turned their backs, would gather up from waste receptacle or glass coun ter the discarded deposit slips of those who had erred) in addition the first time, or for some other reason had mussed up their first attempt at making out the slip. A few hours later Doucas would present at the bank a neat check for an amount he knew had been deposited not long before and signed by a replica of the signature on the deposit slip, it is charged. Many depositors, unthink ing, would sign the slips with their signature rather than print out their name. Elton Watkins. local attorney, was one victim. ,On August 19 Doucas Is charged by one indictment with hav ing cashed a check at the Northwest ern National bank for $90 on paper to which Mr. Watkins' name had been forged. On August i he is accused of forging the name of W. R. Paule to a i?5 check on the State bank of Port land. Other Indictments of the grand jury yesterday included four alleged forg- ' Allen fetranahan. Harry Miller, Walter Watkins and Alfred T. Man ning but in each case the amount was small. Roland Consgrove was indicted on a larceny charge. The grand Jury made its final re port yesterday showing that 69 cases had been handled during the month and 259 witnesses Interviewed.

Non-partisan league leaders In Ore gon have issued a call for a state con vention to be held at the Labor temple Tuesday, November 15. at 10 o'clock A. M. The state committee met at McMinnville October SI and decided on the call. The object of the con vention is to perfect a stronger or ganisation and extend It to all parts of the state. According to H. H. Stal lard, atate manager, no league mem ber has thought of giving up the fight.

At yesterday's meet ing Stanhope S. Pier, president, re ceived the united pledge of the mem bership that they would devote their spare time "between trips" to cam paigning for the $2,000,000 tax meas ure, and every member of the organi zation is. pledged to come home to vote in the election. Health Machine Is Stolen. For the second time this year an automobile haa been stolen from the city health bureau. The latest car to disappear is that driven by Dr. R. W. Sipple, of the contagion division. Dr. Sipple parked the car on the cor ner of East Sixth and Sumner streets, while he made a call. When he re turned he found the car gone, to gether with a new overcoat which was in the front seat of the car. On Thursday an overcoat belonging to Dr. James Walsh of the same division was stolen from his car. Both thefts have been reported to the police de partment. Rad The Oregonfan classified ais.
