Will Carry Them Home.
Continued from Saturday, Dec. 21.
That the war which has been pro
gressing in the Balkan states in Eu
rope for the past few months is to
be resumed with greater activity than
ever on the part of Greece, was indi
cated today, when a special agent in
the employ of the Grecian govern
ment arrived in Albany and began op
erations of rounding up every one of
his countrymen available for military
duty and informing them that their
services are needed in the old coun
try at once.
According to the special agent, his
government has ordered every Greek
resident of the United States that is
subject to military duty in their native
Inad to report at once and fully 50 of
the Greeks from this part of Linn
county vill leave before the next
week for their former home across the
sea where they will take up arms
against the enemy.
The call here lias met with ready
response on the part of the Greeks
residing here and twenty-seven of
them will leave at once for New Yojk
where they wilt embark on steamers
. which are waiting for them and pro
ceed immediately to Europe.
The following Greeks from this city
will leave tomorrow for Europe where
they will fight for their country: Gust
Pappas, Sam Frayie, Isick Melios,
John Melios, Sam Falcos, Jim Ial
cos, George Pappas, Jim Pappas, John
Couves, Gust Bouras. George Vorris,

George Alexandris, Nick Maravilis,
John Vlakos, Jim Vuniotis, Tom Pap
pas, lorn Raptis, Jim Baldukos, Nick
Pappas, Hampros Bouras and Tila
mahos Cipus.
Available Greeks from all parts of
the United States are being assem
bled and will be sent to Greece for
military duty at once. Although el
forts are being made by European
nations to bring about peace it is ap
parent that hostilities are to be re
sumed again and a general war take
place. '

WIFE IS SENTENCED
DESPITE HUSBANDS PLEA
Women Who Took Bets on the
Races Must Serve Six Months
in County Jail.
San Francisco, Dec. 15. Though
her husband, Andrew Duncan, exp
lained that probation heal a breach
in the family that has existed for the
past two years, Judge Wells in Oak
land yesterday committed Mrs. Alma
Duncan, a lecturer on Hindu philos
ophy and spiritualism, to the county
jail for six months for accepting bets
on horse races. Mrs. Duncan was the
proprietor of a pool room at 491
Tenth street which was raided last
July. Among those taken into cus
tody were Mrs. Laura Brink, wife of
a Berkeley physician, and John Suth
erland. . All were convicted of fre
quenting the place, and Mrs. Brink
"and Sutherland were placed on pro
bation. Mrs. Duncan was surly throughout
her trial, and Judge Wells said that
he was convinced she had not told
the truth concerning her interests in
the poolroom. Probation Officer
Ruess recommended probation, but, in
view of her attitude, Judge Wells re
fused to consider leniency of this sort.

IMMENSE PROJECT PLANNED
FOR VALLEY WATER SUPPLY!
Clear Lake Will Be Source of ,
Pure Water; Work Will Cost
Approximately $4,000,000.
Salem, Or. Dec. 21. Laying the
foundation for one of the greatest
pure water supply plants ever at
tempted on the Pacific Coast, the
state board of health at its annual
meeting here today adopted a report
from Engineer Kelsey, which covers
a pure water plan from Clear Lake to
provide water for all of the cities and
towns of the Willamette valey.
Some such a project was outlined
by the state board of health many
months ago and it was placed with
Mr. Kelsey to work out the details.
The report has been finished and 1000
copies of it will be printed.
Clear Lake, 100 miles from Salem,
on a bee line, the source of the Wil
lamette river and a lake with an in
exhaustable snnnlv of nure mountain
water, was selected as the -source of
the supply for the immense system
that is contemplated.
' State Behind Project.
The scheme, in a nutshell, is to
place the state behind the project.
The cost of realizing the dream of the
members of the state board is estimat
ed at approximately KOOO.tXX). Co
operation, both financial and other
wise, would be demanded of all of
the other cities and towns that come
under the project, including all of
them in the Willamette valley uown
to Port and.
Part of the scheme would be the
furnishing of a supply to the state
capitol and all ot the stale institu
tions.
The board elected Dr. Alfred Mn-
tu-v. oi Astoria, nresuicm it. c, o
Pickcl, Medford. vice-president, and
for the fourth time named Dr. Calvin
S. White, of Portland, as secretary.
Plans were made for holding a con
ic e of all the citv and count y
health officers in Portland in March
:it which time it will be determined
to what slcns mav be taken for the
removal of the health officers who
are useless or fail to perform their
duty.

a
Music lovers of Albany were given
a rare treat last Monday evening when
they heard the recital given by Mr.
Frederick Preston Search, cellist, in
the large studio at Trcmont Hall.
Mr. Search is making a tour of the
larger coast cities, and happened to
have an open date on Monday evening
which was secured by the Conserva
tory management. His program open
ed with an aria by Maxleger and the
hearers were at once charmed by the
artistic and finished playing. Particu
larly beautiful was the rendition of the
Saint Saens sonata, which displayed
his fine technique and sympathetic in
terpretation. One of his best num
bers was the Butterfly, by Popper,
which showed the scope of the instru
ment and the versatility of the per
former. An interesting feature was
the group of his own compositions,
tiie Reverie, the Serenade, from an
Evening in Tangicrs. His finest num
ber was the Concerto by Klcngel,
who was his teacher fo rive years,
while he was a student in th cKoyal
Conservatory in Leipsic. Mr. Search
enjoys the distinction of having been
the only American in the famous
Geroaudlaiu orchestra under the di
rection of Xikisch in Leipsic and is
under contract to return to Germany
for a concert tour di:.-tng February
and .March. Mr. Walter Chapman of
Cincinnati, the accompanist, played
with finish and svninal iv "lid this had
a l .rge share in the artistic success of
concert. IJ.iring the evening
