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 Chehalls schools are overcrowded
and the Board must of necessity find
larger quarters before another year. 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.

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.

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.

bearing. If your symptoms are of no consequence, I will tell you so.
If treatment is needed I will tell you its cost, and the time that will,
in all probability, be required to effect a complete cure. If I feel any
doubt as to my ability to cure, you, I will not take your case at all.
I will not urge my services upon you. If you see fit to place your case
