Albany Senior Do Good
Job Painting Rock.
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."

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.
