Crown Princess Cecilie. who. though very young, is a womnn with a will of her own. haw again aroused the wrath of her Imperial father-in-law by positively refusing to wear gowns made In Ger many. She asserts that all German- made gowns are too heavy and too clumsy, that the German taste In dress Is atrocious and that the only smartly dressed women are the American and Parisian. A few days ago she sent for Mme. Pa quln. the famous Parisian modtste, to come to Berlin Immediately with a num ber of gowns, and. to make her shocking disobedience complete, she chose three directoire gowns the like or which hava never been seen here. On was a beige face directoire tailor-made costume, while the other was a dazzling evening gown made of sliver gray mousseline da sole, edged with pink chiffon velvet The underskirt is of a deep, soft pink satin, the whole effect' being not unlike old Dresden china. The corsage of the third quite simple directoire evening gown in white satin Is composed of pink rosebuds clustered together. It Is thought that the Kaiser will for bid her to appear at court in any of these creations, which are. however, very much admired by her husband. Crown Prince Wllhelm.

Charlton, assistant general pas senger npent for the Northern Pacific, has just returned from a trip through the Grangeville country, where he ar ranged the new schedule. He was a passenger on the first train to run over the newly completed Lewiston-Vollmer-GrangevMe branch, a line 80 miles in length. . , "Manv people have been living lnt ..iat country" for the past 40 years who never saw a railroad train." said Mr. Charlton yesterdav. "Schools were dismissed to give the children an opportunity to see the train. The children came down '.he track two miles to meet the train and ran alongside back to Grangevllle. The train slowed down to allow the children to keep up. At Grangevllle the people Inspected the whole train and joined heartily In the celebration attendant upon opening the line. "The Camas Prairie district Is one of the richest sections of the whole United States. It produces vast amounts of wheat and other agricultural products, as well as turning out large herds -f cattle every year. Besides, the new rail road opens up a way to the mining dis tricts in Idaho, among them being the Buffalo Hump group, and many others. The completion of the new line brings that whole district nearer to Portland and will open up a market for Portland goods." Hearlnj- for Five-Cent-Fare Cse. The Supreme Court will hear the 5. cent-fare appeal next Saturday, the controversy being between the people of Milwaukie and the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company. The case of the people of Oak Grove Is largely dependent on the outcome of the Milwaukie case. Milwaukie con tends the company discriminates against it by charging 10 cents, while charging 5 cents to St. John and Lents. and the railroad company contends the cases are not parallel and that it can not maintain car service to Milwaukie on a 5-cent fare basis. GOLD 0UTPUT EXCESSIVE Transvaal Mines Ship Out Ore Val ued at $13,000,000. LONDON". Dec. 5. (Special.) For over a week highly optimistic forecasts of the October output of the Transvaal gold mines were circulated In the market, but the actual return for once actually ex ceeded the most sanguine estimates. The total value of the gold returned for Oc tober from the whole colony was $13,120. 000. or Just $635,000 above the previous highest record. The labor position in the Transvaal is now apparently no longer doubtful, as October brought a further Increase of nearly 3000 natives In the complement of the mines, whose ' total native siatf now exceeds 139,000 "boys.-" !

Makes Gloomy Predictions Regard ing American Flag on Pacific Unless Subsidy Given. That the American flag will have disappeared from Pacific Ocean ship ping within the next eight years' is the prophecy made by R. P. Schwerln, vice president and manager of the Harriman water lines. Mr. Schwerln reached the city yesterday In his private car from San Francisco. He will remain here until Friday. With him are G. L. Blair and A. F. Fry., officials of the Harriman steamship line's. . For this condition. Mr. Schwerln blames the Government for not provid ing subsidies as other nations do, and for diversion of freight to foreign lines by Americans. "Business on our lines was never so bad as it is now," declared Mr. Schwer ln last night. "Our steamers out of San Francisco last year lost $468,000, and six months of the present year they were run at a loss of 265.000. During September we went $105,000 behind and November added a deficit of $68,000. "It takes $100,000 to run a big trans pacific liner on a single round trip. The Japanese government gives a subsidy amounting to $76,000 to vessels carry ing the Japanese flag. This $75,000 must be made up in freight and pas sengers by the American steamers If they are to compete with the Japanese lines. "We have one shipper In Portland who has consistently supported our line. He - is the only one. Portland people have never Interested them selves in the support of the line.

"i pZ& F.l J i 3'1' 1 nf f,A IE 4 to fiivery Man By "strength" I mean ambition, vim and the ability to enjoy all the pleasures of life. If you are weak, you not only endure all the physical tortures of the disease itself, but you suffer from the consciousness that your strength is ' gradually but surely waning away. The horrors of this thought Increase as your weakness glows. It has been cor rectly estimated that one man in every four is afflicted with some form of vital weakness. . This weakness taps the very fountain source of life. It is ever persist ent, drawing continually on the resources of bodily strength, until the victim becomes a total wreck, or, happily, avails himself of the CERTAIN Cl'KE I offer. My. treat ment is his oniy hope. It Is to me one of the most pathetic of thoughts that there are thousands of afflicted men, suffering all the ravages of weakness, who may never hear of the hope I offer in my treatment, and must therefore continue to suffer on in who know of my treatment, will offer you a positive and lasting cure? Knowing of the certain cure assured you In Its application. It Is yourself of it and once more enjoy My Fee for a Cure Is SIO I WILL GUARANTEE A CURE AND YOU NEED NOT PAY UNTIL YOU ARE WELL Why Other Doctors Do Not Cure I want you to notice in particular how silent other specialists are on the subject of Men's WEAKNESS. They pass the subject over because they can offer no positive cure for it. Those who do undertake to treat it resort to powerful drugs, elastic belts or some, other mechanical clap trap, which, Instead of curing, only aggravate the aliment. Nearly every day I am .called upon to treat cases that other specialists or family physicians have treated and failed to cure. . In nearly every instance 1 find it necessary to first rid the patient of almr.st ruinous effects of the treatments they have received at the hands of unskilled medical men. But I guarantee to cure every man whose case I accept for treatment. I make it a strict rule to treat no Incurable cases, and I am always willing to wait for my fee until a cure is effected." Ninety-nine cases' lii a hundred are curable. The Incurable cases are those that have been neglected or experimented upon by some incom petent doctor.. Don't wait until yoiir case is beyond hope. Come to me while a cure is certain. What Weakness Is I discovered many years ago that Weakness, so called, is merely an inflamed and congested condition of the prostate gland; that when this important gland is thus diseased the result is a tremendous loss of energy, which, sooner or later, involves all the vital processes, weakens the heart, impairs the stomach, kidneys and liver, vitiates the digestive functions, depletes the nervous system and eventually wrecks both mind and body. As soon as I made this discovery I set to work to devise a Treatment that would cure weakness and restore the system to Its former buoyancy and vital power. Afer years of untiring effort and a great expenditure of time and money, I perfected the successful treatment I employ today.
