TPOU Ti"RW DRYDOCK WORK PUSHED OREGON DRYDOCK OF THIS PAPER A few months ago a man came to my of New Plant Will Be Ready for Business by March 1 of Next Year. CAPACITY 5000-TON CRAFT Dock Will Adjoin Works or Willam ette Iron Steel Co., and Will B Operated In Connection With That Concern. Work on the fins new floating dry dock, to be built and operated by the Oregon Drydock Company, Is now being rapidly pushed forward. This will be welcome newa to the shipping Inter eata of thla city, aa It asaurea to the port the moat complete and up-to-date plant of Ua kind on the Coast. Tns alte of the new dock la at the foot of North Nineteenth street, and la 100 feet In width, extending 600 feet from Front atreet to the harbor line, and ha aplendld facilities for docking and repairing ships which the new riant will provide. Immediately ad joining an the eaat and aouth are the lurge modern ahopa of the Willamette Iron 4 Fteel Works, which will furnish the drydock with every needed provi sion. In the way of material, steam and electric hoisting and handling equip ment, compressed air and machine shop facilities, for Its expeditious and eco nomical operation. A more convenient location could not be found, aa near this point the majority of all ships en tering the harbor either dock or anchor. It Is. furthermore, conveniently acces sible from any part of the city, two lines of cars running directly to this point. The new dock, which will be ready for buslnesa not later than March 1, next, will be 290 feet in length over the pontoon and 340 feet over all. It will have a lifting capacity of S000 tona, and will accommodate vessels up to 400 feet In length. The most Important feature of the new dock, however, and the one which will appeal with special force to ship owners. Is Its proximity to, and con venient working arrangement with, m modern engineering and shipbuilding plant. It being readily recognized that a drydock. unless so located or pos sessing such facilities of Its own, can not undertake any extensive work in the way of chip repair, rebuilding or alteration except at considerable coat nnd much loss of time. By virtue of Us arrangement with the Willamette Com pany, which occupies a leading position In shipbuilding and the manufacture of marine and steamboat machinery, the Oregon Drydock Company aeema to have met this question, not only In a manner which will permit It to suc cessfully bid for all varletlee of ship repair and alteration, but In a way which will greatly further Its econom ical operation.

The Board will present a proposition to the City Council at its next regular meeting to eell the city the present high school property for City Hall purposes. With the proceeds of this sale and the added funds that could be secured from voting added school bonds the Board would plan to buy two sites, one for s high school, the other for a grade school building. Both proposals would have to be ratined by the voters at special elections. Kindly Old Woman Says She Has Rooms to Spare -for Sisters of Shame and Old Musket to Guard Them From Men. Of the thousands of women in the big city of Portland the homes and doors of but a single one have been thrown open to their unfortunate sisters of the sup pressed Whltechapel district. The soli tary exception la Mrs. M. L,. Woodcock, 408 East Pine street, "Rosenfeld's" friend, whose excesaive patriotism and political fervor have failed to chill a heart strangely generous and sympa thetic "I have two spare rooms and my front room which I would be glad to offer these women," she said, "for are we not sisters? Somebody once asked If he was his brother's keeper, and I know he was a man, for nobody but a man would ask such a thing. I am my sister's keeper if no one else will take the Job. 'Tea, I am able to accommodate sev eral of them, and besides my two spare rooms and my front room I have a tent which I could put up in the yard and many more of them could live there. I don't know whether my neighbors would like It or not, for I have thought nothing about that side of the case. But I don't care, for what my neighbors think never bothers me in the least." Only Home Thrown Open. Thousands of generous women of the city have contributed funds and ex- pressed a. desire to help the unfortunates In any way possible. But so far as Is known, Mrs. Woodcock is the only one who has made the offer of her home to accommodate these women. In addition to providing for them in their period of adversity, Mrs. Wood cock further agrees to protect them. She has an old musket hanging above the fireplace, she says, and she boasts pro ficiency in its use. Any men who come around will receive prompt attention with its aid, she promises, and If she has a preference as a target It Is married men. "I have thought this matter out care fully," she said, "and I think It Is wrong for women to be too severe and down on the unfortunates. If they only knew what their husbands and sons were guilty of and how these women are not nearly so much to blame as it is made out, they would not look down upon them as they do. Old Musket Will Protect Them. "If these women come to my home, they will receive a cordial welcome. I am the only woman In Portland who ever Invited the girls at the Florence Critten ton home to visit me, and I enjoyed their coming and know they enjoyed It too. I will take care of any of them who come to my home and quite a number will be able to find accommodations. "I don't despise these women; I fel sorry for them and would like to help them. But there, is one thing I do despise and that is a married man who helps them conduct their traffic. I will promise theee women when they come to my home that I will protect them, and if any married man, or others for that matter, come around that old musket of mine is in good working order." Pittelkau Gets Deed. In rendering his decision in the case involving the question of an alteration over a deed from Graves & Co. to E. R. Pittelkau, Judge Morrow said that the alteration was undoubtedly made be fore delivery, as Pittelkau contended, and evidently was made because Graves & Co. objected to giving a general warranty deed, which was the form In which the deed was first drawn. The Judge further stated that the alteration made did not make the deed more fa vorable to Pittelkau. but more favor able to Graves & Co., and in fact the mortgage referred to at the trial was paid by Pittelkau before he brought suit. o-h. jlvri tn he entered will Dro- vlrle that If Graves & Co. do not exe- "ute to Pittelkau a deed in the exact form directed by the court the decree Itself shall operate as a deed. This will save Graves & Co. the trouble of going before a notary and will give Mr. Pittelkau all he sued for without going to Graves & Co. for it. Mr. Bloom, at torney for Mr. Pittelkau, was directed to draw the findings In favor of the plaintiff. New York City Is consuming a glass and a half of beer now to each glass con sumed four years ago.

TAYT.OR, The Leadinc Specialist. fices and told a story of his experiences which b") through before coming to me that I wish every man could read it. In the first place, this man was of strong I and healthy appearanoe, and began by telling me he was never sick in bed for a single day . as far back as he could remember. His symp toms were lack of ambition, vim, energy and power to concentrate his mind. He felt con scious of a state of physical imperfection. which embarrassed him and made him feel unfit to enjoy society, and as he expressed it, he was "played out all over." CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE Questioning him as to what he thought caused his trouble, he ad mitted excesses -in early life, and confessed to a slight disorder con tracted some five years past. By advice of well-meaning friends, he tried prescriptions, which helped to a certain point, but failed to go beyond that. His next step was to consult a doctor, and he sought out one with a large general practice and good reputation. The doctor cheered him with the assurance that he would undertake the treat ment of his case, asked him a few questions, and prescribed medicine, both for local and internal use. For the first few weeks he improved so much that he discontinued his visits to the doctor to stop the drain on his purse. A little later he had a relapse, which was very discouraging, especially as he felt the weakness coming on, which caused pains in the back, sleeplessness and general lassitude. He sought help from a specialist for disorders like his own, but soon realized that he was in incompetent hands. The specialist, who had been in business but a short time, closed his offices and went e.way. Following this, the sufferer was attracted by the claims of a doctor who told him that he must get next to Nature, and that Nature was sewed up just inside of his electric belt. It cost him about $100 to find out that electricity would not help a bit. In a very skeptical and hopeless frame of mind, this man came to me. I examined him in a manner that he admitted he was never examined before. I found the exact cause of the whole trouble, ex plaind it fully to him, together with my plan of treatment, and guar anteed him a perfect and permanent cure, and offered to let him PAY "WHEN CURED. Last week he said he felt as good, sound and healthy, as strong in vigor, as he ever had in his life. SECRET OF MY SUCCESS I proved to this man that the whole secret of mv success in curing WEAKNESS, VARICOCELE, HYDROCELE, CONTRACTED DIS EASES, was knowing definitely what treatment was indicated and how to give it. There is no mystery about my methods or my medi cines. My knowledge of Men's Ailments is superior because I have devoted all my time for the past 20 years to this one branch of the human machinery. SIO My Fee in Uncom plicated Gases I0D PAY WHEN CURED I CURE ALL CONTRACTED DISORDERS The serious results that may follow neglect of contracted diseases could scarcely be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thor ough cure in the least possible time. I have treated more cases of contracted- disorders than any other physician upon the Pacific Coast. My cures are thorough and are accomplished in less time than other forms of treatment require in producing even doubtful results. I em ploy remedies of my own devising, and my treatment is equally effect ive in both recent and chronic cases. CONSULTATION AND DIAGNOSIS FREE If you cannot call, write for Diagnosis Chart.
