THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 23, 1008. CAPTAIN HAGKETT VISITS PORTLAND Master Who Was Honored by the President for Heroism - in the Coloma Case. PRESENTED WITH A WATCH Canadian Government Is Exerting Every Effort to Supply Aids to . Navigation on West Coast t Vancouver Island. Captain Diaries Hackett; master of the Canadian IJghthouse steamship Cjuadra. of Victoria, is in Portland the Euest of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Armstrong. Captain Hackett has had many years of experience on the coast of Vancouver Island and the Southeastern portion of Alaska and has been a prominent figure in marine circles through the saving of many lives from vessels which have been cast into the "graveyard of the Pacific." At the time of the wreck of the old American bark Coloma, oft Cape Beale, In December, 1906. Captain Hackett took the' survivors from the sinking craft. At the time the vessel was going down the captain and crew were , huddled to gether on top of the charthou.se. For this act the master of the Quadra was presented with a sold watch from the President of the United States and also received a special letter from the Chief Executive of the United States com mending him for his vigilance and bravery. Captain Hackett is enthusiastic over the advances being made by the Cana dian government in the matter of aids to navigation on the west coast of Van couver Inland. In speaking of this im portant department of the government the captain said: "The Canadian government is doing all possible to make the aids to naviga tion second to none in the world. During the past two years 25 acetylene gas buoys . have been established. These are proving an immense success and are far ahead of the Pintsch buoys. They will stand a much heavier sea and will burn longer. With 15 pounds or carbide the shore lights will burn continuously for nine months. Tho buoy at Swiftshore bank went adrift in December but has been replaced. This buoy has not been re covered. "For a distance of 40 miles along the west coast of the island a trail is being cut and a patrol established. Five wire less stations will be in operation soon along this stretch and then the loss of life will be reduced to tho lowest pos sible figure. To date the disastrous wrecks have taken place within a radius of .15 miles, or between the entrance to the Straits Hnd Capo Beale. Whore lights also are a special feature of ", the work that is being done. The light at -Leonard Island has been seen for a distance of R5 miles to sea. An ordinary light of this kind has a range of only 18 nyles. The increase is due to the superior quality of the lenses which are being purchased by the government. "Four life-saving stations are under process of construction. They will be finished in time for operation in the Fall. Eat.h will be equipped with the latest model power boats, orders for which have been placed in New York. While the Quadra is the only government ship in commission for the lighthouse work the chartering of three additional steamers lias been found necessary." HAS SUCCESSFUL TRIAL TIUP Steam Schooner Capistrano Makes lluii Down the Columbia. The new Mission line steamer. Capis trano wfin taken for a trial trip down YViliMiette and Columbia Rivers ;i:-"'1h. She was In command of ()-.in R. Harrlman, Pilot Harry K' .kcii .'.as at the wheel and Chief iiiiglneer C. L. Martin looked after the machinery. A large number of in vited guests made the run down the rlyer on the vessel. The day was per fect and with the perfect workiing of tho vessel a most delightful day was Rpient. The steamer met all requirements and the builders of both hull and engines were satisfied with her per formance. The Capistrano is owned by the Mission Steamship Company of San Francisco, which also operates the Homer, Carmel, Carlos and Dolores. The hull was constructed at the John l.Indstrom yards at Aberdeen and the machinery was placed by the Willam 'ette Iron & Steel Works. The steamer is 189 feet long, 38 feet beam and 13 foet depth of hold. Her lines are al most Identical with those of the Bee and the J. Marheffer. John Llndstrom built the first steam sdhoonor of the type of the Capistrano lit 1902.- She was christened the Bee, bat was later sold and the name changed to the Westerner. Since that time this type of vessel has been popu lar on the Coast. The finishing touches wjll be put on the Capistrano within the next two weeks and she will then fro Into commission. She has sufficient charters . ahead to keep her running steadily for a year. pwen Jones Goes to the Hospital. Owen Jones, solicitor for the Charles K Beebe Shipping Supply Company, wes removed to St. Vincent's Hospital yesterday. It Is thought that an oper ation will have to be performed on his knee. Mr. Jones fell two weeks ago while boarding the British bark Crown of Germany. He hit his knee, but thought little of it. Later it began to Rive him considerable trouble and yes terday it was found necessary to re move him to the hospital. tjuiet Day on Water Front. Washington's birthday was generally observed on the waterfront yesterday. The only vessels working were the American bark Acme, which took lum ber at the Portland mills, and the coasting steamer Alliance, which worked general cargo at Couch-street dock.

Captain Bowdich, master of the Berwick, Is confined to the hospital with a broken leg.

A general meeting of delegates from all the young people's societies of every church in Portland will be held in the Sunnyside Methodist Episcopal Church tomorrow night, at g o'clock, to organize for the systematic distribution of roses and other flowers to the hospitals and homes of sickness throughout the city during the Rose Carnival. The call was issued by the Bpworth League of Sunny side Church, and the cabinet of the league, including Dr. T. B. Ford, pastor of the church, will meet with the dele gates. That it would be an excellent feature of the Rose Carnival and an act of grace on the part of the young people of the city to provide daily bouquets for every man, woman and child confined within hospital ward or the walls of their homes in Portland during the Rose Carnival, was believed by Sunnyside Epworth League chapter, and it was accordingly desired to proceed to invite delegates from every young people's society of every church within the city limits to meet with the league cabinet. Special invitations were issued by the league cabinet to the officials of the Rose Carnival, and to Hugh C. Krum, an officer of the Juvenile Court, who will tell of the need for such work in the slums of the city. The- Rose Carnival management will be officially repre sented. Strong indorsement of the move ment has already been given by the Rose Carnival management. Prominent Tucoina Elk Insane. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 22. SpeciaI.) W. L-.

DOSCH TELLS OF DEMAND Management oC Exhibition Seeks .to Favor Those Displays 'Which Show Actual Methods Used by Manufacturers. "We would like a large amount of space, for we intend to put in an ex hibit that will demonstrate America's superior methods of manufacture in our particular line of endeavor. AVe will show every step in the work pub licly from tlie time the raw material is received at our factory which for practical purposes will be transferred to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition grounds to the time the finished prod uct leaves the factory for the whole saler's warehouses." This is but one of many typical let ters received by Colonel Henry E. Dosch, director of exhibits and privi leges at tho Seattle fair, who arrived in Portland yesterday to spend, the day. Mr. Dosch's office in the Administra tion building, on the grounds of the 1909 Exposition, is a busy center at the present time. Applications for space in the exposition, inquiries as to prices, locations and conditions of exhibits are pouring in, with such steadiness that the exposition officials are assured anew of the success of the undertaking. Speaking of this yesterday. Colonel Dosch, who has had experience in sim ilar positions with many other world wide expositions, said: Applications Pouring In. So many applications are coming in, and these are from eo many of the leading firms in America, that we are assured that we phall be able to present to the visiting public only the beet of exhibits and those mot educa- TRIAL TRIP YKSTKRDAV.

In this exposition the kind of exhibit that I am trying to encourage and the kind that we will see most of, in my opinion. Is the "motion" exhibit, the exhibit in which something' novel Is cither performed or ac complished in the proces of manufacture be fore the eye of the public. This exhibit Is most educative both to foreigners and our own people, and Is the exhibit that the bet ter clause a of firms are anxious to. install. A manufacturer who has a good article' to sell, made in clean surrounding, and by most' modern and sanitary methods, has everything to gain in showing the public every step of hla procefw. The public likes to buy an ar ticle every step In the manufacture of which they have followed and the smallest device of which they understand. Displays Already Secured. Of course, all exhibits cann6t be presented to the public in an Industrial operative form, but the fact that the public likes to watch things being "done" has influenced us in giving space, to treat well indeed, those whom exhibits are of the kind indicated. Already we have about concluded arrangements with many of these, among which I might name a rope-walk, locomotive manufacture, agricul ture machinery manufacture, stationary ma-, chinery manufacture, refrigerator manufac ture, a large iron foundry for the making of novelties never before manufactured in pub lic. V"e also have arranged with plants whose exhibits will consist of workmen engaged In ahowing every process of the manufacture of Ash-curing and parking, butter and cream handling on the most modern basis, separators of new pattern both In manufacture and ue, and, most interesting of all to manyT we will have a woolen mill exhibit. Thl last will have one machine, a 60-foot "mule" spinning the yarn, which will be Immediately taken and placed on a great loom and woven into cloth, blankets and other fabrics In public, while attendants will constantly demonstrate the process and answer the public' Question as to cost, etc. Machine Never Shown Before. Another operative ' exhibit which we will have is one never before shown in public. It is a machine for weaving embroidery and lace Into whatsoever pattern the operators may desire. A piece of music can be taken and a replica of the words and music woven Into a fabrio of the finest and most beauti ful pattern. The machine capable of doing this is over 50 feet in length, yet its great steel arms and mighty cogs handle the most delicate silk threads and place them to a five-hundredth of an inch In position. This firm has already forwarded me a picture of William McKlniey woven In silk with colors, and surrounded by the American eagle and varloys other patriotic emblems. These are but a few exhibits mentioned at random among many, but the fact Is that so great are the number of applications for space and so novel are the exhibits offered that I expect to have the buildlnce complete ly filled with interesting- and novel display. There will be held in Lsondon, England, this year what fi known as the Franco-Brit-tanic Exposition, at which all Europe Is plan ning to exhibit. Our commissioners In the Old World, who were also with" us at the T-ewls and Clark Exposition, report to me that they will have no difficulty In packing up anr bringing to Seattle the very best and highest gradta of exhibits from France, Eng land. Germany. Italy, Austria-Hungary, Swe den and Holland. This Is certainly very grati fying and augurs well for the Alaska-Tukon-Pacific Exposition. DISTURBED OVER BONNETS Pope's Sisters In Anxiety Over His Welfare Cause Comment. ROME, Feb. 22. Although the'Pope is considered to have quite recovered from his late attack of gout, the state of his health still preoccupies Vatican circles, it is remarked that his movements are slower, the attacks more frequent as he has many slight ones which never come to the public ear his manner is more listless, and his sisters visit him often and stay longer. As the years pass and he grows older, Pius X turns more and more to what Is represented by his sisters, that is, the old home life, when the kept house for him and he was free to come and. go as he would. These sisters resemble liim to an ex traordinary degree, but lack a touch which culture and refined companions al ways give and which is found In the Pontiff. They appear Just what they are, good, pious, simple folk, not puffed up or givn to pride, but loving their brother witlt their whole hearts and ready to sac rifice anything for him. In spite of their seclusion, they have felt to a certain extent the influence of Rome, and thus created a little tempest in a teacup at the Vatican, all caused by three modest, old-fashioned, not to say frumpy, black bonnets. These bonnets were the cause of all t AND NAL. kinds of comments not at all proportioned to their size and importance, as they wero on the heads of the three equally I Offer m to lavery i El J 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 ypur strength is gradually but surely wan ing away. The horrors of thie thought in crease as your weakness grows. It has been correctly 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 CURE I offer. My treat ment is his only 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 utter dispair until the end. Then you who know of my treatment, will you, too, continue to suffer when I offer you a positive and lasting cure? Knowing of my treatment and the certain cure assured you in Its application, it is up to you to avail yourself of it and once more enjoy the full vigor of health. My Fee for H tCh a Cure Is p 1U 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. Those1 who do undertake to treat It re sort to powerful drugs, elastic belts or some other mechanical clap-trap, which instead of curing, only aggravate the ailment. 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 I find it neces sary to first rid the patient of almost ruinous effects of the treatments they have received at the hands of unskilled medical men. But I guar antee 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 In a hundred are curable. The incurable cases are those that have been neglected or experimented upon by some incompe tent doctor. Don't wait until your case is beyond hope. Come to me while a cure la certain. What Weakness Is I discovered many years ago that Weakness, so called, is merely an in flamed and congested condition of the postate 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. After years of untiring effort and a great expenditure of time and money, I perfected the successful treatment I employ today. Why My Treatment Cures There are several reasons why my treatment never falls to cure Weakness in men. The method I use is direct and positive, the medicine being ap plied locally. Its effects, so administered, are almost Immediate, since it Is at once absorbed by the tissues, which are thus stimulated to healthy action, throwing oft the poisonous secretions, overcoming inflammation and congestion and clearing the blood vessels and capillaries so that they can supply nutrition to the affected region. Come to my office to day, or at the earliest possible moment. It will cost you nothing to talk the matter over with me. I will give you expert Free Consultation Call at the office If possible for Free Advice, Examination and Diagnosis. If you cannot call, write for symptom blank. My .offices are open from 9 A.

Private Entrance, Morrison Street, Portland, Or. modest ladies in question, all unconscious of the interest they aroused: in other words, the sisters of tho Pontiff have abandoned, their lace veils and assumed the headgear of fashionable civilization. When they first came to Rome they went Into a convent while tbeir apartment was being prepared, and the good nuns, to please them, made each a present of a hat. Somewhat confused, and not know ing just what to do. they consulted their brother, who at onoe told them to refuse, saying that they had never worn any head covering but a black lace veil, and it was then too late U change. Now. however, insidious hints have prevailed, and they have thus lost something of their individuality. When his holiness is unwell they are frequently to be met in the Vatican cor ridors, creeping about like miqe, and very evidently wishing" to escape notice. This timidity has been increased and encour aged by certain persons in the Vatican to whom a "petticoat" means everything to be avoided, and who see, or pretend to see, that the influence of the sisters on tho Pontiff is distinctly political. Noth ing more absurd can be imagined; their souls are filled with pious thoughts and simple alarms, for their brother, while politics is a word without meaning to them..
