DANGERS A! DIRT
LURK IN SIBERIA
Lieutenant H. A. Willis Is
Back From Bolshevik Lancf.
LIFE HANGS BY THREAD
Tales or Trip to Interior, Where
Jteds Threaten to Kiddle Party,
Are Told on Kcturn.
Black looks and ominous mutter
lngs emanating: from gentry who
haven't washed for a fortnight and
who finger the locks of their rifles
ever and anon Is not conducive to
pleasant travel, asserts Lieutenant
Horace A. Willis, of the American
lied Cross, who has just returned
from eight months' service in Siberia,
where he met the bolshevik and found
him to be a savage Illiterate and the
tool of German plotters.
"I had gone into the heart of the
bolshevick territory, 100 miles north
of Vladivostok," said Lieutenant
Willis yesterday, "to purchase lum
ber. Everywhere I was met with
surly, half-savage suspicion, and on
one occasion, in a railroad car, my
interpreter suggested that we had
best move to another part of the
train; Our compartment was shared
with bolsheviki, who watched me
continually and who grumbled as they
watched.
lovrmti Closely Watched.
'I think it best," advised my inter
preter, 'that we ieave this car. I have
listened to these fellows talk and I
believe they wouldn't balk at rid
dling both of us with bullets and
throwing our bodies from the train.'
"Well, I got the lumber and re
turned to Vladivostok. But while in
bolshevik territory I was closely and
auspiciously watched, and my inter
preter was frequently asked, 'What is
this man doing here?' When told
that I was buying lumber, they would
ay, 'Why doesn't he buy his lumber
in America?' Candidly. I never gave
a thought to the danger, but when
I had returned to Vladivostok fellow
officers congratulated me.
" '1 never expected to see you come
back,' said Major Clark, an American
officer in the Russian railway serv
ice. 'You took a chance I wouldn't
take." "
VUlt l'nld to Helattves.
Lieutenant Willis, whose home is in
Seattle, was born in Salem, and is
now visiting his mother, Mrs. Carrie
J. Willis, at the home of his sister,
Mrs. D. C. Bogart. in Laurelhurst;
his sister, Mrs. Kdgar B. Piper, and
his brother, Eugene Willis.
Enlisting in the Red Cross, Lieu
tenant Willis saw service with the
organization in England, France and
Italy, returning to America at the
close of the war. He immediately
re-enlisted and was sent to Siberia,
where he has served for eight
months, sailing for home December 12.
"I was sent to Vladivostok and
thence to Omsk, 4500 miles in the
interior," said Lieutenant Willis,
"where Admiral Kolchak made his
headquarters. I arrived there shortly
before the evacuation caused by the
bolshevik advance, and upon my re
turn to Valdivostok had charge of a
trainload of refugee children, 400 in
number.
"For the most part these children
were from Petrograd homes, their
families among the prominent and
well-to-do residents of the Russian
capital. At the first sign of internal
trouble the families had sent their
children to a colony near Omsk, there
to remain until conditions became
quiet. But the revolution broke out
and many of the parents were slain.
100O Children Are Refugee.
"Approximately 1000 of these un
fortunate children are now being
cared for by the American Red
Cross in a colony at Vladivostok,
where they are being educated and
taught trades. I believe this is the
finest work that the organization is
doing in Siberia for it is training
future citizens of a high type, upon
whom the hope of Russia rests.
"Conditions are bad throughout Si
beria, anu they were bad in Vladi
vostok shortly before I left. The
Czecho-Slovak leader, Guida, had at
tempted to establish a government of
liis own through peaceful means, but
an unforeseen clash occurred and
street fighting raged, in which many
lives were lost. The railway station,
focal point of conflict, was riddled by
rifle fire and artillery.
"Siberia is a wonderful country,
with unlimited resources, and is
WHAT NEURASTHENIA IS
Neurasthenia is a condition of ex
haustion of the nervous system. The
causes are varied. Continuous work,
mental or physical, without proper
vacation periods, without proper at
tention to diet and exercise, also
worry over the struggle for success
are the most frequent causes. Ex
cesses of almost any kind may pro
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip
will cause neurasthenia. So also will
a severe shock, intense anxiety or
grief.
The symptoms are over-sensitive
ness. irritability, a disposition to
worry over trifles, headache, possibly
nausea.
The treatment Is one of, nutri
tion of the nerve cells, requiring i
non-alcoholic tonic. As the nerves
get their nourishment from the blood
the treatment must be directed
towards building up the blood. Dr.
Williams pink nils act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation
of the diet have proved of the great

There is nothing of good in this wild

From the best information I can get

Council Action Follows' Pro
test From Irvington.
BUILDING CODE AMENDED
Mayor Says Council Can Authorize
Plants Where Necessary for
Them Is Shown.
Members of the city council went
beyond recommendations of residents
of Irvington, who protested against
the establishment of a telephone ex
change at East Twenty-fourth and
Stanton streets, when the building
code was amended yesterday placing
telephone exchanges on the objection
able list of industries.
Judge W. M. Cake, representing
the residents of Irvington, voiced the
protest of the property owners of the
district against the intrusion of any
industries in this strictly residential
district, but he also said that if the
contentions of engineers of the. tele
phone company were correct, the
council would be justified in granting
the permit to erect the building.
W. D. Moore, superintendent of the
plant department of the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph company, con
tended that all sub-stations must be
located' in certain wire centers, and
that it was not a matter of choice
with the officials of the company. If
a station, he said, was placed off
center more than 500 feet, telephone
service would be impaired.
Mayor Calls for Vote.
City Commissioner Barbur. who was
author of the amendment under dis
cussion, suggested that a committee
of competent engineers be appointed
to investigate the problem and report
to the city council, so that the mem
bers of the council might have
basis on which to act.
Mayor Baker, however, failed to
heed the suggestion, and called for a
vote on the report recommending
the passage of the ordinance, which
was adopted by unanimous vote of the
council. Immediately following, the
mayor called for a vote on the amend
ment, which likewise was passed by
unanimous vote.
Through passage of this amendment
the telephone company will be re
quired to file an application when
ever it is desired to construct a new
sub-station, and property owners in
the near-by vicinity will be given
opportunity to protest against the es
tablishment of such station.
The action of the city council yes
terday, according to W. J. Phillips,
commercial manager of the telephone
company, will upset the entire plan
of development outlined for the next
20 years in Portland. Four new sta
tions are contemplated, but with the
opportunity of property owners to
remonstrate against the establish
ment of such stations, be fears that
the entire future service may be im
paired.
Irvington Protest Emphatic.
Msmbers of the large delegation
representing Irvington property own
ers were emphatic In their protest
against the establishment of a tele
phone exchange m this district. Fear
that such a building, artistic as it
might be, would seriously deteriorate
property values was expressed.
Mayor Baker said yesterday that
the action of the city council could
not possibly hamper the telephone
company, because the council contin
ued to hold oower to grant authority
to nroceed with construction of
buildings, even though property own
ers adiacent to the proposed sites
obiected. Such action, he said, would
be taken in the event that it could
be shown that such stations must be
established at certain centers to main
tain crooer service.
'I cannot see where tne council
acted unwisely, said Mayor Baker.
"ProDertv owners should be pro
tected and if the officials of the tele
phone company can prove that it is
necessary to establish stations in cer
tain localities, the council win no
doubt grant applications to do so.1
Officials of the telephone company
expressed disappointment over the
hasty action of the council, contend
ing that some investigation should
have been made before the amend
ment was considered. Judge Charles
H. Carev. legal representative of the
teleDhone company, said he did not
know just what action the company
would take, but he intimated strongly
that legal steps might be taken to
test the power of the city council in
placing telephone exchanges in the
class of objectionable industries.
0LC0TT T0 QUIT OLD JOB
REPUBLICAN NOMLNEE AT PRI
MARIES TO BE NAMED.
Formal Statement, Based Upon De
cision of Supreme Court, Is
Issued by Governor.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or, Jan.
14. (Special.) Governor Olcott, wh
yesterday was assured by the suprem
court that his term or oince would
not expire until the election of his
successor in November, 1923, today
issued a statement in which he said
he would resign as secretary immedi
ately following the primary election
in May and appoint the successful re
publican nominee for the office as his
successor. The governor's statement
follows:
"In light of the supreme court de
cision handed down covering the
status of the governor's office, I wish
to say that immediately after it has
been definitely decided who is the
successful republican nominee for the
office of secretary of state at the
primaries in May, I shall resign as
secretary of state and appoint the
successful republican nominee to that
office. I think it is now too close
to the primary nominating election to
appoint any one as secretary of state.
By awaiting the result of the pri
maries it will be possible to appoint
the choice of the republican voters
to serve until such time as the
general election can be held."

MRS. W.E. THOMAS HAS

Fashionable Modiste Amazes
Friends by Recovery Gives
Credit to Tanlac.
"As I look back over my awful
condition and think what a perfect
wreck I was before I began taking
Tanlac I can hardly understand how
it Is that f am here at all today,"
was the statement made recently by
Mrs. W. E. Thomas, a fashionable
modiste, whose place of business Is
located at 1940 Third street, San
Diego, CaL Mrs. Thomas is not only
well-known In San Diego, but also
has a wide circle of friends in San
Francisco, her former home.
"I have never before given a public
statement recommending a medicine.
but since Tanlac has done - so much
for me I feel It my duty to tell
everybody about it," Mrs. Thomas
continued. "Twelve years ago I suf
fered a complete nervous breakdown
and from then until the time . I be
gan taking Tanlac I was in miser
able health. I have traveled in nearly
all European countries. In Alaska and
in the orient, besides all over Amer
ica, and I want to say emphatically
that Tanlac did more for me than
anything I ever found.
"I was extremely nervous and in
sucn a weak condition that I was
unable to dress myself In the morn
ings. My circulation was so poor that
my nanus were stiff every mornin
and I could not use them" until my
husband rubbed them and started my
blood to circulating. I just hate to
think of the many restless, miserable
nights I passed rolling and tossing,
hardly able to sleep a wink. I had
forgotten what it was to feel hungry
ana ail tne time I was badly const)
pated. : I lost weight until I was in a
pitiful condition and people would
stare at me, I looked so weak. I
spent lots of money and tried every
thing imaginable in an attempt to
get relief. For months 1 spent the
week-ends at a sanitarium trying to
recuperate, but in spite of all I could
do I kept getting worse and worse.
"When I think of the twelve long
years that I suffered and of all the
money I spent trying to get rid of
my troubles, and then think of how
completely and with such little ex
pense I was restored to health by
taking Tanlac, it all seems like a
dream and looks almost too good to
be true. Here is how I began taxing
Tanlac my husband was taking it
and it was doing him so much good
that I tried a few doses, and It
agreed with me so well that I started
taking It regularly. Well. 1 was
simply amazed when I began to feel
stronger and my appetite started
coming back. That encouraged me so
that I did not miss a dose and I con
tinued to improve right along. In
all I took six bottles and today I
am In as perfect health as a person
could wish. My family, friends and
relatives ail are astonished and say
It is simply wonderful. I am never
troubled in any way. have gained
thirty pounds in weight and my
friends all say I am looking fifteen
years younger than I really am.
When I meet anybody that I have not
seen In quite awhile, they stand and
look at me in perfect amazement
and can hardly believe the change
that has come over me. 1 have not
taken a dose of Tanlac or any other
medicine since August 9 and I was
never so energetic or felt so fine as
I do today. I will be more than
pleased to answer all Inquiries re
garding my experience with Tanlac."
