OREGON TROOPS ARE
READY FOR MEXICO
Guard Officer Says Third
Regiment Could Entrain
in 24 Hours.
INTERVENTION FINDS FAVOR
the matter up at once and endeavor to
arrange Jt.
This decision is the result of numer
ous requests that have been coming:
from the East and from places where
the pictures have been shown already,
asking: for return engagements, and
from places that were not included in
the original itinerary, asking: for dates.
The Chamber of Commerce publicity
bureau will take up at once plans for
raising: sufficient funds to keep the
pictures in the East for a longer period,
regarding them as the best possible
advertisement to attract tourists to
Oregon's great scenic places.
POLICE SEEK FLOATER
Body Reported in Harbor May Be
One of 'Unfortunate Canoeists.
Search was made yesterday by the
harbor patrol for a body reported to
I'ecliiig Prevails That Military Op
- era t ions on Kxtensive Scale
Will Be Necessary to
Vindicate Honor,
" Vf President Wilson should call for
assistance from the Oregon National
Guard for intervention in Mexico, de
tachments of troops could probably be
gotten out of Portland within 12 or 14
hours notice, according to Major
Lawrence H. Knapp, quartermaster
corps. Major Knapp said that all the
enlisted men of the Third Regiment,
consisting approximately of 48 offi
cers and 850 men, could be mustered,
ready for service, in less than 24 hours,
probably.
"This is taking into consideration,"
lie said, "that the War Department
ahould not send a call for companies
recruited up to a certain strength. If
they should ask, however, for compa
nies with a. strength, of say, 100 or 150
men, there would be necessary delay
caused by the recruiting and equipping
of the new men.
( White Raises Standard.
"Each company in the regiment is
required by Government regulations to
carry supplies and equipment for 65
men. Since Adjutant-General George
Ji. White has taken up the command of
the state forces, however, he has raised
the equipment standard to 85 men.
If equipment for a larger number is
required there would be a delay neces
sitated for securing supplies from San
IPrancisco or from the government
arsenal at Benicia."
The feeling- among local military men
yesterday was that there was a strong
possibility of intervention in Mexico.
This, they felt, was heightened by the
fact that American troops had already
crossed the border.
I am ready to go," said Major
Knapp. "I could be ready to start with
in two hours after the receipt of or
ders from Washington."
Other officers of the guard expressed
a like willingness to go to Mexico.
Many Troops deeded.
That any military operations taken
up against Mexico would require a
large body of troops was the belief
of Lieutenant-Commander George K.
Blair, of the Naval Militia. He said
the fighting would unquestionably be
In the nature of guerrilla warfare, sim
ilar to that during the Philippine in
surrection. Towns once occupied would
have to be held, he said. He also said
that the country, being rugged, would
bo difficult for the handling of bodies
of troops.
Commander Blair expressed the be
lief that a war with Mexico would be
& good thing for the United States.
"The United States," he said, "will
very likely ;4et into difficulties with
ritner oire of the strong countries of
Kurope, or Japan, within the next few
years. A war with Mexico would en
able this country to work up a large
body of seasoned troops, putting them
in a better condition to meet just such
an eventuality as seems strongly pos
sible to me."
It was the opinion of military men
that in case of hostilities between the
two countries the United States would
immediately blockade all the ports of
Mexico, and in that way prevent the
importation of arms and ammunition.

DR. FOSTER SAYS EAST UNDERGO
ING GREAT MORAL, AWAKENING.
Heed College Head Tell Students
They Will Have Chance to A
L It In Reconstruction.
rr. W. T. foster, president of Reed
College, who returned from the Kast
yesterday, declares that region is be
ins: swept by a great wave of moral
and spiritual awakening caused by the
prowins realization that the present
Kuropcan war is being fought for
moral rather than economic reasons.
Ho set forth his views of the situa
tion in a chapel address delivered to
the students of Heed College yesterday
tnornmgr.
""It is hard to put a finger on the
evidence showing this change, but that
the feeling is there, there can be no
doubt.' said Dr. Foster.
"People are still frantic over the
unearned Increment of the war stock
but it appears that they are not quite
as proua of these earnings as they
were at first. Society has become more
sober. There are fewer gay functions.
ICven Wall street is beginning to feel
the change.
"There is a clearer perception in the
country today that these moral prob
lems will take a long while to settle
and that the solution is going to come
in part from the Lnited States.
This will mean that the genera
tion in which you students and others
of your age will have the opportunity
of being leaders in will offer one of
the greatest opportunities the world
has ever seen for young men and
women who are willing to throw them
selves whole-heartedly into the work
of reconstruction."
Htlrm Ada Settlemier-Jones.
After attending the theater,
seemingly in perfect health on
the previous evening, Mrs. Ada
Settlemier-Jones, wife of B. F.
Jones, 804 Front street, died sud
denly at her home yesterday
morning. Mrs. Jones, who was 51
years of age, was prominent in
club and parent-teacher work in
this city and for the past three
years had been president of the
Failing Parent-Teacher Associa
tion. Mrs. Jones was the daughter of
the late J. H. Settlemier, of
Woodburn, pioneer of 1849. She
was born in "Woodburn July 27,
1865. She was a member of Co
rinthian Chapter, Order of the
Eastern Star.
She leaves, besides . her hus
band, three children, as follows:
Mrs. Irine lJuley. of Tualatin,
and Elenor Jones and Chester
Jones, of this city. There are five
sisters and two brothers.

Loveland will officiate.
have been seen floating off the Penin
sula Lumber Company's dock at 9
A. M. The information was furnished
by the nightwatchman of the mill to
the St. Johns police.
The unsuccessful quest was pursued
by the harbor patrol in conjunction
with Officers Hatt and Roberts, of the
St. Johns sub-station.
It is thought that the body may have
been that of one of the two canoeists,
Harry W. Gammie and George Kirk
patrick, drowned above Oregon City
some weeks ago.
PATROLMAN ASKS $10,000
Mounted "Cop" Avers Electrical
1-lasli From Car Track Injured.
A vagrant current of electricity, es
caping- from tne rails of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company
tracks at Union avenue and Clackamas
street, is held responsible by Police
Sergeant Edward L. Crate for a broken
leg he received December 26, 1914, in
a suit for $10,000 damages he filed
yesterday against the railway com
pany.
Before the advent of the "jitney
squad," Sergeant Crate was leader of
the mounted police, and had served
in that capacity for 13 years. On the
day mentioned in the complaint, he
was riding his mount across the car
tracks, when both he and the horse
received an electric shock which
blinded the sergeant and caused the
horse to rear and fall, breaking a leg
of the officer.
MEAT SELLER CONVICTED
Minimum Fine Assessed for Dispos
ing of Unwholesome Food Product.
Frank L. Smith, charged with the
tale of unwholesome meat, was con
victed in Municipal Court yesterday and
a fine of HO was imposed.
Attorney Sanderson Reed sought to
frustrate the testimony of Market In
spector Melton by intimating that the
prosecution arose from the meat-trust
i-ituatlon. The Smith market, 228 Al
der street, is an independent concern,
ami the attorney declared that other
markets in the locality were not with
out fault, but that they belonged to
corporations and were unmolested.
Judge Langguth imposed the mini
mum fine of $10.

A TRIBUTE
TO OREGON
(Extract from Mr. Lafferty"s First
Speech in Congress.)
The alluring charm of a nev
country will always cling to Ore
gon. Her gentle rainfall will
keep fresh and green her mag
nificent forests throughout the
ages. An everpresent longing In
the human breast to commune
with primitive nature caused the
pioneers of America to push for
ward till civilization, with every
modern convenience, was estab
lished upon the Pacific Coast.
There is no longer any 'new
country' to go to. But God in his
supreme wisdom has decreed
that Oregon, with her snow
capped mountain peaks, her ever
green forests and her rugged
coast, with its miles of hard sand
beach washed by the foaming
surf of the Pacific, shall remain
young and beautiful and roman
tic, to gratify the loftiest desires
of humanity so long as the, world
shall last.
A Platform That Means Something
In his declaration filed with the Secretary of State, at Salem, ex-Confjressman Lafferty has
pledged himself to the people of this district that, if he shall be renominated and re-elected, he
will, during his term of office, work and vote as follows :
1. For enforcement of Oregon's Great Railroad
Land Grant, by the sale of every acre, Tim
ber and All, to actual settlers at $2.50 per
acre, under a drawing system to be conducted
by the Federal Court at Portland, thereby
giving to everyone an absolutely equal op
portunity. 2. Against a Large Standing Army.
3. For Genuine Rural Credits.
4. For a Liberal Protective Tariff.
5. For Return of Our Irrigation Money.
6. For Conveyance of Forest Reserves in Trust
to the States.
7. For Giving to Oregon the Benefit of Her
Own Natural Resources.
8. For More Liberality to Homesteaders.
9. For Development of Northwest.
10. For Government Merchant Ships.
11. For Limited Old Age Pensions.
12. For Moderate Inheritance Tax on Fortunes
Above One Million Dollars.
If I am nominated on May 19 it will mean more to all concerned than the mere incident of my holding again for
two years the office that I have already held for four years; it will mean the triumph of a ten-years' fight for the
enforcement of a great law passed for the benefit of Oregon; it will mean better conditions for all in the future.
.
The timber thieves have Oregon's Great Railroad Land Grant almost within their grasp. Subsidized news
papers have given favorable publicity to the nefarious Chamberlain-McArthur Bill, and have actually urged its
passage upon the ground that Oregon's road and school funds would get a small part of the loot.
Under the terms of the Chamberlain-McArthur Bill 2.300,000 acres of Oregon's finest lands, intended for Oregon
settlers, would go to the timber barons "under sealed bids for cash." This gigantic timber steal is justified on
the ground that Oregon would get a small percentage of this "cash. The tijnber barons would buy the lands for
a song. Chamberlain and McArthur would sell our birthright for a mess of pottage.
By a dastardly trick S. A. D. Puter has been put forward at Washington as champion of the settler theory of
the law. The willing newspapers have heralded him as such. All this was part of the play, staged to fool the
Public Lands Committee, and to defraud the poor and land-hungry citizens of this country out of what is rightfully
theirs. ' "
With my last dollar I have put these facts in print. I am absolutely confident that the Chamberlain-McArthur
Bill will now see such hard sledding that it will not pass until after Oregon's direct primary election May 19.
If I am nominated I will leave for Washington May 20 to urge passage of special act for opening the railroad lands
to settlers under a drawing system, and with the prestige of a nomination behind me I will win the fight.

Conductor Tells How He Gained

So many cases like the following: are
continually coming: to our attention we
want everyone in Portland to know
that our offer still holds good to re
turn money in every case where Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic,
fails to create strength and build up
weak, rundown, nervous, overworked
men and women.
"I am a conductor on the Scranton
railway and became rundown and tired
out. lost my appetite. flesh and
strength, so 1 had to lose a &ood deal
of time from my work. A friend told
me to try Vinol. I did so and rapidly
regained health and strength, and yes
terday I was weighed and it showed
I had gained 26 pounds since taking
Vinol. I cannot say enough in praise
of Vinol, for what it has done for me."
G. B. Sorber, 1513 Vine St., Scran

About every other day we are pub

newspapers about Vinol. They are
guaranteed to be truthful and genuine
and show the good Vinol is doing all
over the country.

Says Indigestion Results From
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.
Undigested food delayed In the
stomach decays, or rather feiments, the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity,
meaning there is an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which pre
vents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much like
garbage sours in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which inflate the
stomach like a toy balloon. Then we
feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the
chest, we belch up gas, we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, flatu-""
lence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing and furthermore, to con
tinue this for a week. While relief fol
lows the first dose, it is important to
neutralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote a free
flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and Is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts, is used
by thousands of people for storaaca
trouble with excellent results. Adv.
