A dozen or more motor cars with

afternoon on a run to Wilholt Springs.
A number of those who had signified
their intention of making the run,
were unable to do so at the last
minute owing to business reasons. The
excursionists will return this after
noon. On account of the endurance tests
to be held by the Portland Auto
Dealers' Association next Saturday, the
auto club has postponed the proposed
Jaunt to Welch's camp near . Mount.
Hood, and will hold this run August 2
and 3 insead. The Welch camp ex
cursion will be the biggest event in
the local auto season, for at least 40
machine are expected to make the
trip, which means that there will be
nearly 100 In the party.
The members of the club are tlso

The Oregon Motor Car Company, which
has the agency for the Tourist motor car,
has commenced the erection of a modern
garage on Tenth street, near Stark. The
new home of this concern will be abso

viding the big 1908 model Tourist arrives
here In time, this "new vehicle will also
be entered In the contest. The 1908 model
machine will be the first seen In Port
land. The reason the Tourist new model
reaches Portland so soon Is that the ve
hicle Is manufactured In Los Angeles, and
on that account can be shipped to Port
land months ahead of the cars construct

Trying to Get New Man and Thinks
There Is Yet a Chance to Land
on Top Boston Agent
After Coast P layers.
Goodly crowds have marked the. open
ing week of another six-weeks' season on
the Vaughn-street grounds, and the fans
who have assembled there each day have
been given a run for their money; each
game being hotly contested and the vic
tory marked by one run.
The addition of Atherton and the play
ing of Schlmpff at short, seems to have
strengthened the team considerably since
its last appearance. Atherton, while ap
pearing somewhat awkward, is a nifty
first baseman and above all, can hit the
ball at timely Intervals, which was one of
the attributes McCredie's men most
lacked In the earlier part of the season.
The disastrous series with the- San
Francisco team during which Portland
has sustained defeat after defeat by the
margin of one run, proved highly dis
couraging to the fans, but they remained
loyal and turned out handsomely at the
opening game of the present series last
Tuesday. The attendance at the local
games caused Hugh McBreen, secretary
of the Boston American League Club to
remark that he had never seen a minor
league town of the size of this city, turn
out so loyally for a taileird club.' The
Boston 'magnate also expressed his ap
proval of the cltfss of ball played by the
Pacific Coast League clubs, which he
compared favorably with that of the
Eastern League and the American Asso
ciation. McBreen is making the present trip in
order to size up the baseball talent In
this league for the purpose of purchasing
some new talent for the Boston club of
19C8. Before leaving this city he refused
to announce whether he had purchased
or arranged for the drafting of any of the
Portland players, nor would he say what
he had decided upon regarding the play
ers of the other clubs. It Is pretty cer
tain, however, that Pat Donahue, the
clever and hard working little catcher oH
tne Portland team, will go to the big
league next season, and Incidentally Bos
ton will be the club to get him. Judge
"W. W. McCredie denies that Donahue has
been sold, or that this sale is even con
templated of the Portland players, and
emphatically announces that he Is on the
market to buy men, and not to sell them.
McCredie Is using every endeavor to se
cure new talent, for in spite of the big
handicap the Portland team is now. labor
ing under In the matter of percentage, the
president of the club still entertains con
fidence In the ability of the team, with a
few new men. to climb up the ladder and
gather In the honors as was done last
year.
The optimistic opinion of McCredie Is
snared by a goodly percentage of the fans
who have become reconciled to the team
after the acquisition of Atherton and the
evident effort the management Is making
to gather new material.
Persons who have watched the work of
Umpire Derrick during the past week, can
not be convinced that he Is a good offi
cial, yet all concede that the fellow Is
honest and Is endeavoring to do his beet.
The principal defect In his work Is the
evident fact that the moment a ball Is hit
to an lnflelder he has practically decided
the play, and at Its consummation he an
nounces his verdict irrespective of wheth
er the throw has been beat out or not.
This was glaringly apparent at Friday's
game, when he rendered several queer de
cisions. All these decisions were not
against Portland, for San Francisco suf
fered some.
The Portland fans all remember "Old
Reliable" Ike Butler, who wore a Port
land uniform. In 1903 and 1904. and who Is
now with Mike Lynch's Tacoma team in
the Northwestern League. Butler's phe
nomenal record n that league has caused
the big league magnates to sit up and
take notice. Ike Invariably pitches a
winning game, and his record of games
won so far this season, far outclasses
that of any of the leading Aberdeen
team's pitchers. Scarcely a game this
season has the ex-Fortlander allowed
more thai four scores, and as a rule his
victories have' been games where the op
posing nine registers one lone tally or Is
blanked entirely. While with Portland
one year, Butler performed the great feat
of pitching two games in one day and
both times he blanked Mike Fisher's
crack Tacoma Tiger aggregation. Re
cently he performed the same stunt
against Dugdale's Seattle team.
Butler has been in the big league, but
was a member of the shattered Baltimore
American club after Johnny McGraw
took the memorable hurdle In his effort
to break" up Ban Johnson's organization.
Baltimore was dropped from the Ameri
can circuit the next year and Butler
came to Portland In the opening year of
the Pacific Coast League. After pitch
ing two seasons for Portland, Butler
went to Grand Rapids, Mich., where he
pitched great ball for Jack Ganzel's
team. On his return to the Northwest
he Joined the Tacoma team and has
proved a splendid acquisition for that
club.
Pearl Casey, the phenomenal little sec
ond baseman of the Portland team. Is
making a record at present that will
prove unequaled for many moons. In
the last 82 games the little fellow has not
made an error, and his chances figure
nearly as many as the average number
credited to a first baseman. To watch
Casey cavort around the Infield la, a rev
elation to the fans, and Hugh McBreen,
while watching Casey one day this week,
remarked that It seemed strange to him
that Portland's second baseman had not
been grabbed by the major leagues. He
stated he believed Casey a much better
ball player than Tommy Sheehand, now
with Pittsburg.
AUTO RAGES AT BRIGHTON
GOOD PROGRAMME ARRANGED
FOR AUGUST MEET.
Fifty and One Hundred-Mile Events
to Precede Big 24-Hour
Event.
Judging from the list of events
which have been arranged for the
Brighton Beach automobile race meet
of August 9 and 10, the affair should
be the greatest of Its kind in the his
tory of the sport. The feature event Is
a 24-hour International endurance der
by, with a gold and silver trophy for
the owner of the winning car and
21000 in gold coin to. be divided among
the two drivers. ' Preceding this con
test two five-mile, two ten-mile, a fifty
mile and a 100-mile race will be run
off.
The entry blanks for the Brighton
meet have been sent out and the early
receipt of a goodly number of entries
1b expected, particularly for the long
distance races. In which the number of
starters will be limited.
The 50-mlle and 24-hour contests
.are open to stock cars, which may be
stripped, of 60-horsepower or under.
In the last named event each entrant
may nominate two cars and the second
car may be substituted In case of acci
dent to the first under a sliding penal
isation of laps.
Automobile track racing has come to
the front again this year, largely
through the excelint test and thrilling
sport provided by long-distance races.
This is conclusively shown by the 24
hour race held In Detroit, on June 21
and 22. This contest drew the largest
attendance and produced the most In
teresting and exciting sport ever wit
nessed at an automobile track meet.
New records 'were made by Frank Ku

You hear lots of people say that an automobile is a nice thing to have and all that, but cost
too much to keep. Maybe that is true in many cases. But cost of upkeep depends largely upon
the kind of car.

If economy and efficiency appeal to you
meeting your ideal.
7t is a most significant fact that the Single Cylinder Cadillac is the only Automobile in
America, if not in the world, which can truly be accredited with having successfully withstood
the test of five successive seasons, which has been made in continually increasing quantities each
succeeding year, and which gives promis j continuing to be made for many years to come.
There has, during the past year, been a wonderful awakening to the fact, which is now gen
erally conceded, that in moderate-priced cars the Single Cylinder is the only type that has truly
''made good" in every sense of the word, and the position of the Cadillac in that class is so pre
eminent that it is not even a subject for argument.
These little cars are so
thoroughly good and
are so fully tried
out, that we are justified in
guaranteeing them free of
repairs for one year. There
are 18,000 Single Cylinder

his power, and that man must continually force The heading Specialists
himself along In his everyday path of living.
There Is ho real joy or happiness that Is not marred by his ever-present
feeling that he Is not as other men. Now to such men I offer hope. I
not only hold out a helping hand to lift them up, but I urge them ear
nestly to accept my aid. I can gain their confidence from the first
examination by locating the seat of their trouble exactly, and can al
ways entirely convince them of the logical effect of my treatment when
I explain Its action. I never charge for this examination or consultation.
"Weakness" Means Just This
That there is some functional derangement, the direct result of
inflammation, enlargement or excessive sensitiveness of the prostate
gland, brought on by early dissipation or resulting from Improperly
treated contracted disorder. This condition cannot possibly be removed
by Internal medicines, and any tonic system of treatment that stimulates
the activity of the function can but result In aggravating the real ali
ment. This is a scientific truth I have ascertained after a careful and
scientific study and upon which my own original system of treatment
Is based. I employ neither tonics, stimulants nor electric belts. I treat
by local direct methods exclusively, and my success In curing even those
cases that others have failed to temporarily relieve with their tonics is
conclusive evidence that my method Is the only possible means of a
complete, radical and permanent cure.
A Guarantee Worth Something
I do not care what your experience has been with other treat
ments, what guarantees you have, and what promises were unfulfilled
In the past, as unsuccessful, unsclentlflo treatments and unreliable
concerns are In no way a reflection upon honest, trustworthy business
methods lived up to In this city by me for twenty years. I have an
established reputation, and my guarantee means that my patients are
Indisputably Insured of success In their case. There Is all the difference
In the world between a guarantee of this kind and the promise of
those mushroom concerns which are continually falling In business.
I repeat my straightforward, square proposition to wait for my fee
