The federal officers had met the "moonshiners" several times and had contracted with them to buy 20 gal lons, which was to be delivered yes terday on an outlying boulevard in Portland. Mark Aver and Henry Nolte, who drove the machine, de livered the 20 gallons and said they could deliver 50 gallons as easily as 20. The officers thought 20 gallons would be ample evidence. Mark Aver was arrested. He will be tried in the federal court. When Sheriff Johnhon went to search the place, yeEterday he found Tonl Zarkov in charge. Toni stated he was merely working there and did not own any interest in the business. Toni Is now in jail, a few feet from where the giant still is also under lock and key. He will be tried by the federal court at Tacoma. M. E. Gak, the third 6till operator, is still at liberty, but his capture Is expected soon. The still was located on a small farm about six miles from Vancou ver in the Walnut Grove district. It was in one end of a big poultry house. As an acetylene tank was used to cook the mash, attention was not at tracted to the place The pump, even, was inside the chicken house, and it was covered with tar paper so that it would keep the light from the oil lamp from shining through at night. A bank book, captured with Air. Aver, showed that business had been good while it lasted. There were de posits of ?200, J400, JG00. A machine was bought and partly paid for. It. is said that the same persons had bought a place in Oregon on contract but had moved away. It. was through a contract of sale found on Aver that the still was located yesterday. Aver was released today on $1000 bail. Nolte was arrested at the same time. Both have been living at 665 Savier etrect. Portland. M. O'Sullivan. Nellie Whitney, Ellen Ruth, Captain M. G.

That one settler in Oregon fre quently influences many others to come to this section also is shown in the report of the Oregon State Cham ber of Commerce citing the location of D. L. O'Neal of Billings, Mont., at Banks, Or., and the probable removal of at least four additional families from Montana to the Banks region as the result of Mr. O'Neal's coming. Mr. O'Neal, who was engaged in business at Billings, was favorably impressed with the opportunities at Banks and recently moved there, es tablishing a general hardware, furni ture and agricultural implement store. Later Mr. O'Neal returned to Bill ings for a brief visit and brought back with him to Oregon a man named Hawkins, who has purchased a 11700 home in Banks, and between now and the first of the year six or seven families are expected to follow from the Montana district. Incident ally, when Mr. O'Neal was in Billings on October 26 he found the thermom eter registering 20 below zero and the snow piled up in drifts from 3 to 8 feet deep. Another family that will oome to Banks, largely as the result of Mr. O'Neal's "pioneering" from Billings, is that of J. C. PettUiger, with ap proximately J30.000 to invest. A man named Vich Lantry also plans to lo cate in the Banks section. William Hohenzollern Refuses to Speak for Publication on' First' Anniversary of Stay. THE HAGUE, Nov. 8. (By The Associated Press.) Former Emperor William came to Holland year ago next Monday. Since that time there has been no demand, officially or unofficially, for his extradition or delivery to the allies, nor has Hol land at all changed its viewpoint toward him. The Associated Press learned this today from sources that are un questionable. Holland's viewpoint as regards William Hohenzollern may be stated frankly as follows: The Netherlands, which for cen turies has accorded political refuge to all, considers the former emperor and crown prince as refugees not as royalty, but as persons entitled to the same right the same as any plain Johann Schmidt to flee to Holland during the war. This principle is so strongly held by the government and also by the press of Holland that nothing is likely to change It, it is asserted. Extradition Held IllesjaL The Dutch government has reached a determination as to its conduct in the event the surrender of William Hohenzollern is asked for. No offi cial statement has been made in this connection but the Associated Press learns that Holland considers 'the former emperor beyond extradition as there is no possible way legally to hold him as a criminal. If they desired to insist upon the privilege, both the Hohenzollerns would be free to go. where they liked as they are in no sense prisoners. However, be cause they feel that they would em barrass Holland even further they apparently have agreed to remain where they are now the father at Amerongen and his son at Wlerln gen. Return to fjiertnany Permissible. If the one-time emperor and crown prince desired to return to Germany, they would be permitted to go. While It is possible that Frederick William some day may return to Germany, of ficial circles in The Hague are in clined to the belief that William Hohenzollern Is content to settle down to the life of a country gentle man at Doom, where he has been permitted to buy a small estate be cause his long stay at Amerongen seemed unfair to Count von Bentinck, whose castle he occupied. Although a number of purported interviews with the former emperor have been published, the fact is that he never has spoken for publication since his arrival in Amerongen and to the request of the Associated Press correspondent for a statement on the occasion of the anniversary of his taking refuge here he sent a reply saying that he had not changed his determination not to speak. Does, Own Housework Since Taking Tanlac Gains Over Twenty Pounds. "For the first time a whole year I am able to do all my housework," said Mrs. C. Libk R. F. D. No. 4, Box 66, Tacoma, YvUsh., when a special Tanlac representative, who had heard of her remarkable recovery, called to ascertain the facts, recently. Tanlac is the grandest medicine In the world," she continued, "and I Just wish I could tell everybody person ally what it has done for me. Why, my troubles have been completely overcome, and I feel better than I have in years and have actually gained over twenty pounds in weight, besides. "I don't believe anyone ever had a much worse case of stomach trouble and indigestion than I did. My food would, invariably sour and I would just suffer agony after every meal from the gas on my stomach I had no appetite and really dreaded to eat on account of the misery it caused me. Then I had an attack of neuritis in my right hand and knee and I sim ply cannot describe the awful pain. I could not use my right hand at all and for six months I could not even raise it to comb my hair. I was badly constipated and would- get so weak and dizzy I could hardly walk across the room. My nerves were all shattered and I would often lie awake all night suffering so I could not sleep. Then the rheumatism got in my feet and ankles and I could hardly get around. No kind of treatment or medicine helped me and I got so dis couraged and down-hearted that almost gave up hope. "At last I got Tanlac and I will never get throirgh praising it for what it has done for me. My stomach never pothers me at all now and I am eating just anything and everything I want, and I think it the most wonder- ful thing I ever heard of how Tanlac has built me up. The neuritis and rheumatism have left me entirely and. a x raiu, ior ins iirst time In a whole year I am able to get around and do my housework. I have also been re lieved of nervousness and dizziness and can sleep every night Just like a child. Before I got Tanlac I was In such a bad fix that I really thought I couldn't get well, b Ut her T am feeling Just fine, so I hav th ht of reasons for praising Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. 9& about $10,000. costumes valued at $1000, a collection of books rn turning and a trunkful of kimonos in sured for $25,000 were burned.
