UllllLI UILL IUUUIII PASSAGE, HOWEVER, LIKELY GALL FOR RUSSIANS OUT RESERVISTS IS NORTHWEST SUM MONED TO COLORS. Onias to Fact That Many Left Home - to Escape Conditions. Doabt About " Return Is Expressed.' Russian reservists in the Northwest are summoned to return to the colors in a proclamation issued through the imperial Russian Consular office In Seattle, as follows: The Imperial Russian Consulate at Seattle hereby announces to all the Russian re servists, residing- within ita Consular dis trict, in the States of Wasnington, Oregon, Idaho. Wyoming. L'cntana and the Terri tory of Alaska, that they are called to mil itary duty and must leave immediately for Russia so as to be there not later than March 51,. Eastern calendar, or April 13, Western calendar. Failure to appear within the specified time will render the reservist liable to pun ishment according to law. The Russian subjects who are resid ing- in Oregon and other-states of the Northwest are not all Russians. There are many Greeks, Bulgarians, Finnish and people of other nationalities who are under the government of Russia and who are affected by this procla mation. Although there is a large Rus sian colony in Portland, it is not known how great a percentage of the mem bers of the colony are subject to mili tary service, and it is a matter of still greater uncertainty whether more than a small proportion of them will re spond. The majority of Russian subjects here, it is said by those familiar with the situation, left home to escape the conditions under which they were obliged to live, and it is doubtful if they will return.

Great interest is being shown by people between 18 and 35, he writes, and a balloon race win oe started soon for the beginners. Captain Henderson, one of tne en tries in the balloon race in Portland last June, has retained Wilbur Hender son to take interest in the dispute over the prize money given by the liose Festival Association last year.

Commissioner Daly may become an opponent of his own ordinance to reg ulate jitneys. He announced yesterday that he is opposed to some of the hnnr in thn measure made by the majority of the Council and, as a re sult, he will not feel justinea in vot ing for the measure unless the provi- v. irhA ordinance sions are cuansra " k hi in final form as decided upon by the majority of the Council wui do "p -this morning's meeting.

Cottolene is not "just as good" as other cooking and frying fats-it is better than any oto-me nutritious, more wholesome, more digestible-better in every way. The purity of Cottolene is safeguarded not only in the refining pr ocesses , but in the careful selection of the choicest cottonseed oil and beef suet Nothing else is used in the production of Cottolene, the supreme cooking fat Cottolene does riot absorb tastes or odors. Heat it slowly and use it over and , over for all kinds of frying. Always use a third less of Cottolene than of any other short ening or frying fat.
