ALBANY COLLEGE.
That the Albany College is attract
ing the attention of the Oregon press
is indicated by the many favorable
comments which have been made by
the leading papers of the slate during
the past few weeks. The following
editorial appeared in the Sunday Orc
gouian :
"The public is now called upon to
contribute to the endowment of Al
bany College, an institution that for
many years has had an important
place in the life and affairs of the
Willamette Valley and that has been
under the special patronage of the
Presbyterian church. The unthinking
person, impatient of ' the frequent
appeals of religious, charitable and
educational organizations for financial
aid, is likely to declare that there is
no end to a practice that he care
lessly calls "begging." Hut it is not
begging. It is money, when obtained,
that is wisely and carefully expended;
and it pays.
"It is a good thing for Albany and
the surrounding country, for example,
to have the responsibility of a col
lege. It is a center of social, political,
educational and religious influence; it
lends to the uplift ; it stimulates a
higher and better community spirit;
it radiates culture; it helps tn every
branch of the general welfare.
"There are many colleges, academ
ies and universities in Oregnn. It is
a struggle to keep them all going.
Put the effort is worth while. Al
bany and I. inn county would be the
worse off for the death of Albany
College. So would the Presbyterian
church. The members of that great
denomination particularly ought to
have pride ami a greater interest in
Albany College, and raise the balance

HARRISGURG NOTES
The regular city caucus was held
Wednesday evening. A crowd uf
about UK) people were ill attendance,
a large portion uf which was compos

Tile city council held its regular
session last Monday evening. The
greater part of the evening was taken
up in the passage of the ordinance
regulating saloons.
The work of ballasting Fourth
street was completed this week and
from its appearance at this time is the
finest street we have in the city. The
(travel was all hauled from the river
bar and laid to a depth of six inches.
Afterward was rolled anil rcrolled un
til thoroughly packed. The entire ex
pense of getting this city in shape
was borne by the Oregon Electric
people. In addition to any agree
ments made the company also opened
the street at the Mrs. Hurrows place
and ballasted it through that block in
conformity with the work done else
where on the street.
J. M. Murphy sold his hops this
week to Jim Hart. lie had 57DI)
pounds and received 1.1 cents.
Geese are numerous ami the boys
are bagging unite a lot. It conies to
us that Willis Meeks keeps his larder
supplied by the use of a common re
volver. Next thing we know lie will
be lassoing them.
Marion Gooding was taken to Cor
vallis Monday and placed in the hos
pital. His condition somehow did
not seem to improve here and the
change was made not for the purpose
of operating but that he might be giv
en an all round change. Reports re
ceived yesterday stale that he is doing
fine.
Ralph Murphy has interested him
tielf in the livery business in Albany
and together with a partner is now
opening a new stable on Second and

new firm is too young at Ihe business
to make any announcement at this
time whether there will be any change
in the manner of conducting the busi
ness. The boys are home boys and
naturally the people will be with them
in extending a good liberal patronage.
Mr. West, who retires, has nothing to
say at present. He likes Ilarrisburg
and may make this his permanent
home, however, he hasn't given us au
thority to say so.

The Christmas Candle.
There is scarcely a city in the
United States in which the pleas-
tire and happiness of Christmas
is not marred by one or more (lis
tressinpf accidents rcsultini; from
the use of candles upon Christmas
trees. ' The practice of decorating
trees for the holiday festivities
has increased at a trreat rate dur
ing the past few years. The risk
of fires, burns and deaths, there
fore, has advanced rapidly, and
were it not for the Trowing use
of electric lighting outfits upon
Christmas trees, this holiday
might be expected to rival the
roirth of July 111 casuahties.
Every year, however, the news
papers of the country are devot
ing more and moreeffort toward
preventing accidents caused by
the Christmas candle, just as they
have done work beyond price in
promoting saner methods ol cel
ebrating the nation's national
birthday. Editorials like the fol
lowing which appeared in the Ta-
coma Daily Ledger, of December
ZZna, are now common :
"With Christmas at hand, it
behooves us not to forget the
menace of the Christmas candle.
It is more than a matter of sinsre
ing the whiskers off some pseudo
Santa or the real hair from the
head of a high-priced and really
1 life-like doll with blinkable eye
lids and reversible wrists. There
is a real menace to life and prop
erty accompanied by the risk of
utterly spoiling the decorations..
"The temptation is one hard to
refuse. There is nothing more at
tractive than the lights and
shades cast on the tinsel and can
dy canes by the tiny flames nestl
ed in among the trreen boughs,
lint delight to the eye may be ob
tained in other wavs, without the
risk of reducing the number in the
family and having to go to court
to collect insurance. Besides
cliniinatiiii of surplus relatives is
id no especial benefit after you
have gone to the expense of pro
viding them all with holiday gifts,
which, as likely as not, will be
consumed 111 the conflagration.
"The danger of the Christmas
candle is seldom taken seriously
enough. It is not a matter for
levity. Supposing a slight acci
dent 111 your particular home re
sults in a holocaust, and you, your
wile, ami your, more or less im
mediate family are incinerated
with your dwelling. The f ire
may not stop there. It may
spread to your neighbors and,
fanned by an ill wind, may extend
in many directions until it has
consumed sundry garages, public
schools and places of amusement.
In that event your celebration
would be utterly ruined.
"It should be remembered that
candles are useful for other pur
poses as well as adorning Christ
mas trees. They can be resorted
to with equal taste to adorn birth
d:iy cakes with no such likelihood
oi the affair developing into an
experiment in cremation. Mice
are also It-lid of them, and they
can even be used for house lights
in times of emergency. In deco
rating the Christmas" tree with
them, however, it is well to reck
on with the possible consequenc
es. Arson is not particularly well
suited to the spirit of the day, anv-

Albany Attorneys Retained By
Relatives of John M. Taylor
to Appeal Case.
CONDEMNED MAN SENTENCED
TO HANG ON FRIDAY MORNING
J. K. Weatherford of This City
to Leave Tonight for Burns
to Consult Court.
That John M. -Taylor, the Harney
county murderer and one of the five'
men who are sentenced to be hanged
next Friday at the Oregon state peni
tentiary, may be granted a stay of ex
ecution, was indicated here today
when it became known that the law
firm of Weatherford & Weatherford
of this city have been retained by
relatives of the condemned man in
California to carry an appeal to the
state supreme court. '
It is also stated that the judge of
the superior court of Taylor's home
county in California and the con
gressman from that district have been
in communication with the Governor
and other Oregon officials in an en
deavor to have a stay of execution
granted until the appeal can be heard.
Taylor is said to have come from
an excellent family of San Louis
Obispo, California, and reports are to
the effect that the condemned man's
past reputation in that city was good.
It is not known what action will be
taken by Gov. West or other court
officials toward granting the stay of
execution, but people who are ac
quainted with the case arc of the opin
ion that the stay will be granted until
the appeal is heard at least.
Taylor, who is between 55 and 60
years of age, was convicted of first
degree murder by a jury in the circuit
court of Harney county, where the
case was tried at Burns last March
and is sentenced to be hanged at the
Oregon penitentiary at 7:30 o'clock
next Friday morning.
Taylor was sentenced to be flanged
for killing A. II. Perry, a laborer, and
Robert Settlemeir, a horse-buyer,
both residents of Harney county.
From the evidence in the case when
it was tried at Mums it was shown
that taylor, who is a w-ell driller by
trade, and Perry, Settlemeir, and a
mail named Bozeman happened to
meet at the ranch of a man' by tliAr
name of Carlson. ;
After supper the men began talking
about machinery used in sinking ar
tesian welts. Perry became angered
at something that was said and began
to abuse Taylor. Bozeman, who was
intoxicated, is alleged to have told
Perry that if he didn't shut up he
would get a gun and blow off his
head.
He went outside and was followed
by Perry. Perry returned to the
house shortly afterward and resumed
his abuse of Taylor, calling him many
vile names. Taylor resented this and
informed Perry if he attacked him he
would get hurt.
Perry, who boasted of being a
champion pugilist while in the navy,
told Taylor that he could whip a
houseful of men like him and started
toward Taylor. When Perry was a
few feet away, Taylor, who was sit
ting upon the edge of a bed, pulled
his gun and shot Perry through the
lungs.
The bullet passed through Perry's
body and struck Settlemeir who w-as
sitting behind him on the other side
of the room. Moth men died as a re
sult of the wounds, Perry dying the
next morning and Settlemeir a few
days later. Settlemeir before lie died
made a statement which exonorated
Taylor.
.Perry, who was about 29 years of
age and weighed over 200 pounds,
was shown at the trial to be of a quar
relsome nature and that he boasted of
his prowess as a prizefighter.
After the jury had returned a ver
dict of guilty of murder ill the first
degree, it is said that Taylor was ask
ed by the court if he knew of any rea
son why judgment should not be pro
nounced and that his statement made
at that time, had it been made before
the jury retired to consider the ver
dict, would probably have resulted in
a verdict of manslaughter if not ac
quittal. Judge Weatherford. who has been
retained to carry an appeal to the su
preme court, will leave this evening
for Burns in an endeavor to secure
a temporary stay of execution until
the appeal can be heard.

MUNICIPAL COURT CASE
WILL BE CONTESTED
James F. Powell Claims That
He Never Purchased Dirt
from the City.
The case of the City of Albany
vs. James F. Powell promises to go
down in the history of the municipal
court as .one of the most hotly con
tested cases ever tried before the city
recorder.
The city recently brought suit
against the defendant for the sum of
$58.80 which it is alleged that the de
fendant owes for dirt sold and deliv
ered on or about the 4th of July, 1912.
Mr. Powell has retained the firm of
Hewitt & Sox and proposes to fight
the case. He claims that the dirt was
never purchased by him or was there
any understanding that he should re
imburse the city for the same. He
will contend that the local represen
tative of the Warren Construction
company asked him if he knew of a
suitable place to dump some dirt, to
which he replied that he had no ob
jections t odumping the dirt on his
property. He did not know that there
was an yobltgation assumed on his
part until he was informed by the
street commissioner. The case will be
tried before City Recorder Van Tas
sel. THE BRITISH LASH FOR
THE WHITE SLAVER
Earl of Lytton Favored Brand
ing on Forehead, but Lords
Stopped at Flogging.
London, Dec. 6. If punitive legisla
tion can suppress the white slave traf
fic the British parliament is passing
an act which should succeed.
Men convicted of carrying on the
traffic arc liable to be flogged on the
second offense. The Lord Chancel
lor was in favor of inflicting this sen
tence for the first offense.
Lord Lytton proposed branding on
the forehead with a hot iron, but the
House of Lords shrank from this ex
treme. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone
suggesting that possibly the procurer
might reform and the mark would
ruin him.
The Archbishop of Cantebury fav
ored flogging. He was willing to take
Ihe risk of one innocent man being
convicted occasionally in order to
mete out deterrent punishment to the
guilty ones. i
This inflicting of flogging is a re
trograde step in British criminal jur
isprudence, for although the power of
Ihe last exists in certain cases it is
rarely used and is jealously criticised.
White slave dealers, however, arc put
outside the pale of humanity by gen
eral consent.
Mr. and .Mrs. X. P. Long were
badly frightened Tuesday when their
baby who was playing about the
room swallowed a pin. Their anxi
ety was relieved, however, when the
pin was recovered and the baby is

was blasting stumps on the home
place Thanksgiving day suffered se
vere injuries when a blast prematurely
exploded. His left hand was torn lit

ed, but his eyes are now improving.
The doctors amputated the fingers
and thumb of the injured member,
but it is feared the stump will have
to be taken off at the wrist.

Vancouver, B. C, Dec. 8. A train
holdup that for boldness has never
been equaled in Vancouver was per
petrated last night just as the Cana
dian Pacific Railway's "Imperial Lim
ited" transcontinental passenger train,
leaving Vancouver at 7:45 p. m., was
passing out oi the city limits.
A single highwayman, disguised by
a black mask, boarded the train as it
was passing the British Columbia Sug
ar refinery, a mile and a half out, en
tered the Pullman car and at the point
of a -revolver forced the passengers
and the Pullman conductor to pass
over their money and valuables. The
man dropped off the train just before
it arrived at Bamett, which is six
miles from the city.
The total loss was $308 in bills,
two watches and one chain, one dia
mond ring and two English sover
eigns, amounting to about $10. The
conductor contributed $30 of the $308.

Los Angeles, Dec. 8. Kleptomania
is no more in Los Angeles. It has

niore stealing from the heaped-up hol
iday counters, but merely that hence
forth it will be plain larceny, not able
to hide under the mask of tempera
ment, and it will be vigorously prose
cuted, no matter who the culprit is.
