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. A number of steamers left down
the river and the Nome City arrived
up.
; Berwivk Sails for Siuslaw. .
.The gasoline schooner Berwick sailed
for the Siuslaw yesterday in command
of Captain Childs. Captain Bowdich,
master of the Berwick, Is confined to
the hospital with a broken leg. Cap
tain Bowdich slipped while boarding'
the ship Wednesday morning and sus
tained a fracture of the left leg just
above the ankle. He will be laid up
for several weeks.

FLOWERS FOR HOSPITALS
Young People's Societies Meet To
morrow Night to Organize.
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.

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-

Uve. We shall be able to choose and pick
among the applicants, and orrly thane who
have a tory to ttjl, onjy those exhibitor!
whose procewes have pome novelty of manu
facture or result need expect prominent space
In the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc Exposition.
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

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

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,

however, insidious hints have prevailed,
and they have thus lost something of

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

souls are filled with pious thoughts and
simple alarms, for their brother, while
politics is a word without meaning to
