CANDIDATES ARE SCARCE WAS IN BED SIX JFillny of Declarations Will Be Started' December 18; Several) Vacancies Are to Be Filled. SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 8. (Spe cial.) Though the first declarations i of candidacy lor municipal offices may be filed December 18, there has been little gossip in political circles over the coming city fight and no avowed candidates have risen to an nounce that they purposed making a contest for any one of the seven city jobs that are to become vacant. Virtually the same issues that were involved In the school and port elections are likely to come up again In the spring to confront councilmcn W. D. Lane and O. T. Erickson. who are expected to be candidates for re election. Both attended the banquet Tiven Hulet M. Wells and his asso ciates on the eve of the departure to begin serving prison terms for violation of the conscription act and since that time Lane has been prom inent in radical gatherings. Councllmen Are Eligible. Both Lane and Erickson are eligible for three-year terms. The third coun cilman who will be up for re-election for a three-year term is Robert B. Hesketh, who is regarded as a con servative labor leader and who has been in the city council ever since the charter change was made to elect nine city solons at large. Because of vacancies created in the council during the last two years, two short-term members have to be elected next spring. Both these posi tions are filled by veterans Major John E. Carroll, who served in France during the world war and was on the ilex lean, border with the old Wash ington National Ouard regiment, and A. T. Drake, who is a Veteran of the Spanish-American war. These two members and A. F. Haas. councilman, a veteran of the civil war, are the former soldiers of the city law-making body. Major Car roll was elected to succeed Roland Cotterill and will be a candidate for the year left In his term, while Drake, who succeeded Mayor Fitzgerald, who resigned from the council to become city executive, will run for election to fill the unexpired two years of his predecessor's term. Polltlelaaa Are Speculating. There has been some desultory talk Of mayorality candidates. though most of it has been confined to a discussion of Mayor Fitzgerald's chances for re-election. Politicians have speculated on the chance that Major Hugh M. Caldwell, former cor poration counsel, will be a mayoralty aspirant and a few days ago a story was put Into circulation that Charley Davis was ambitious to be mayor some day. The "triple alliance" makes no secret of the fact that it will have a candidate; in fact, expects to have a full ticket. Work in Fitzgerald's behalf has been under way for a long time and there has been much quiet lining up even during the school and port cam paigns. City officials, and particu larly those who are to run next year, kept as far away from the two dis trict fights as possible and no effort was made by politicians to involve them in those controversies. Counwl to Be Elected. Walter F. Meier, corporation coun sel, is to be a candidate for re-election next spring, and thus far no opposi tion to him has developed. It Is likely that the same election will give voters a chance to make the term of corpo ration counsel four years -instead of two. The pertod for filing declarations of candidacy for the municipal nomina tions begins December 18 and ends January 17. If anybody, having filed, decides that the pace is too hot or clianes his mind about wanting a city job, he may withdraw at any time up to February 2, when the lists are closed. The primaries are to be held February 17 and the general election on March 17. " f " : - - ' - x . :.:..--.:.... :aoea. . .. - . , . y.-y . (. c"W ::..:::::...:::::. -y- -v. . .-.': - m -.

Globe Charles Ray, "The Busher." AFTER an absence of more than a year from the first run screens of Portland, Theda Bara is once more "among those present." "La Belle Russe," with Miss Bara in the lead, will open at the Strand today. "La Belle Russe" is an adaptation from the stage play wrttten by David Belasco. It is a type of play abso lutely foreign to those in which Miss Bara has formerly played and por trayed vampire roles. In "La Belle Russe" the stellar role is that of a woman whose inherent honesty forces her to go through unbelievably hard trials and whose fidelity and mother love drive her on through a bitter, weary and seemingly unending road. The locale of the photoplay is France and England and It opens in the former country some months prior to the clash of European arms. At that time an English captain, the younger son in a titled British fam ily, is attracted to and marries "La Belle Russe," a petite French dancer at whose feet for the moment all fashionable Paris is lying. The young couple are unusually happy until the war clouds break and the captain is called to his regiment. War times bring "La Belle Ruse" into poverty such as she had never known and with the poverty comes the report of her husband's death and the birth of their child. How "I.a Belle Russe" faces the future and how her child comes into its own forms a story of more than ordinary dramatic interest. Mot-lea' Ball TsnBht. Tonieht the moving picture opera tors of the city will be guests at the auditorium at their first annual movies ball and entertainment. The committee in charge has arranged 12 good vaudeville acts for the. enter tainment part of the programme.

"I was in bed for six months with stomach trouble and rheumatism and Tanlac alone deserves the credit for my recovery and my present line health. I have gained twenty pounds. enjoy working hard every nay ana feel like I bad never been sick in my life." This remarkable atatement was made by Mr. George Gregolre, a popu lar longshoreman who resides at 2718 Third ave. Northwest, Seattle, recent ly. Mr. Gregolre has lived in Seattle for twelve years and Is well known to hundreds of people. Continuing, he said: "My trouble started a year ago and got gradually worse all the time. My appetite left me and what I "forced myself te eat would not digest, al ways causing a severe pain in my stomach and shortness of breath. Fat greasy, things and meats were like poison to my system. I got weak as a kitten and then the rheumatism laid hold of me so bad. especially in my knees, that I could hardly drag myself about. My kidneys seemed to give way. too. and I had pains in my back so bad I could not stoop -over. My head ached so it seemed like It would simply split in two and I would get so dizzy I would have to hold on to something- to keen from falling. I was so uncomrort able and restless at night that I would toss about nearly all night without getting more than a third of the sleep I needed and I lost so much weight and got so bad off I Tinaiiy got completely down and out. As I said before I had been In bed for six months and no kind of medicine or treatment seemed to do me any good whatever. "I was In this condition when I decided to give Tanlac a trial, and it got me out of bed In three weeks and has made a different man of me. Tanlac alone did It. as I said before. I have now taken six bottles and every one of my former troubles are gone entirely. I eat three big meals a day, and never have the least trou ble with my stomach. My kidneys are in fine shape and the rheumatism is a thing of the past. I do my work so easily now I surprise the men who work with me, and I will never cease to be grateful to Tanlac for the won derful way it has put me on my feet. "I can never say enough good for mis great meuicine. Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. PIER FAVORS PURCHASE SELLWOOD Y. M. C. A. BUILDING OFFERED CITY FOR $10,000. Andrews, John M.

Although Commissioner Pier said he had beard some talk of a new building in the Sellwood park. 'this suggestion was that held by only a few residents, and that the cost of such a building at this time would make the plan virtually prohibitive. The association building in this dis trict is located at East Fifteenth and Spokane streets. Although the deed for the property and building is held by the association, records show that the building was erected through the raising of funds by Sellwood residents and hence becomes in reality a com munity building. Funds for the purchase of the building, according to Commissioner Pier, can come from the special tax fund provided for parks, playgrounds and community buildings.

The traveling public refused to be flustered by the drastic order curtail ing local train service in the interest of fuel conservation, which went into effect yesterday, and to all appear ances beught almost as many tickets as when the lines were running nor mally. "We have been watching the situa tion closely," said William McMurray, general passenger agent of the O.-W. R. & N. company, "and everything seems to be moving smoothly. There may have been a slight falling off in ticket- sales today, but if there was it was scarcely noticeable. "How thoroughly amalgamated the lines are under federal control, and how their work is harmonized, is shown in the fact that the Northern Pacific, in its bulletins of train dis continuance and changes, carried also the changes in. the Union Pacific sys tem, while the latter road did like wise for the Northern Pacific. "It is impossible to say how long the reduced servlc will continue, but it Is certain to stay until there is im provement in the coal situation. Even if the miners were to go back to work tomorrow the roads probably would be forced to continue the present service for 10 days or two weeks be fore they could return to the previ ous status." ."rN t I " I :l fti"( Make it a Universal Holiday. yf,tSV Do your Christmas Shopping Pt j 1000 M ems Suits 1000 Bcdvs Seats Made in Our Own Tailoring Shops .
