Branch Railway at Union to

R, H. English, Receiver for Central
Railway of Oregon, Announces
Extensive Development Work
Will Begin In the Spring-.
UNION, Or, Dec. 5. (Special.) R. H.
England, receiver for the Central Rail
way of Oregon, is now located in this
city and expects to remain In control
of the road. He has leased grounds
from the Union Milling Company and
has given out information that the
railroad company will erect a round
house and car sheds in a very short
time. It has also been ascertained that
one new locomotive and two coaches
have been purchased recently and will
soon be used on the road.
At present the road extends from
Union to the O. R. & N. station, and
aieo from Union to Leone. The short
line between Union and the station
has been in existence- for many years
and has probably yielded a greater net
profit annually than any other rail
road In the Northwest. Almost three
years ago the road was purchased by
the Central Railway Company, which
at that time had in contemplation a
belt line around the valley and an ex
tension up Catherine Creek to the tim
ber belt. After elaborate surveys and
estimates had been completed, work was
begun, and In due time, but after a
number of litigations, completed to
Leone, the present terminus.
It Is a singular, though not. un
usual fact, that of the four promoters
of this system, but one of them had a
position with the road. The last to
go was A. B. Browne, who held the
position of assistant superintendent
and really controlled the road. Mr.
England, the present manager. Is a
thorough railroad man and a graduate
in all of Its departments. Although,
like most men in his position, Mr. Eng
land is reticent regarding the move
ments of his company, the fact is gen
erally known, however, that early next
Spring an extension of many miles will
be added to the road. Aa there Is a
fine belt of merchantable timber be
ginning about ten miles east of Union
and extending east and north for 60
miles, it is generally conceded that
there is where the road will go. Mr.
England will neither confirm nor deny
the report that the new road will be
built up the creek into the timber belt,
but admits that extensive work will
begin as soon as the affairs of the road
can be settled up and the new organi
sation perfected.
SISTER VIXC3CTT DE PATTIi WAS
XOBLE CHARACTER,
Helped to Establish Home for Or
phans In Vancouver S3
Tears Ago.
VANCOUVER, Wash, Dee. 6. Sister
Vincent de Paul, of the House of Prov
idence, this oity, who died hers Fri
day, November 27, aged 84, was one of
the five pioneer Sisters of Providence
who came to Vancouver In 1868. The
Sisters who accompanied her were:
Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart, as
superior: Sister Praxedes of Provi
dence, Sister Blandlna, Sister Mary of
the Precious Blood. Sister Vincent de
Paul and Slater Mary of the Precious
Blood, were postulants when they bade
adieu to relatives and country for the
then Wild West
They left Montreal November 8, 1836, on
the steamship Illinois for Panama. The
Isthmus crossed they again embarked for
San Francisco and from there the steam
ship Oregon brought them to Vancouver,
Monday, December 8, 1S66.
This was the second attempt to make
foundation at Vancouver. The first
band, also five in r umber, encountered
such dincultles that they re-embarked on
a sailing vessel for Montreal, heartsore
and penniless. The bark, however, landed
at Valparaiso, South America, and a
foundation waa made there. The Sisters
of Notre Dame, had established them
selves at St. Paul, Or., had abandoned
the Northwest for California, thus dem
onstrating the difficulties in the way of
founding missions- In this part of the
country at that time.
No house had been prepared for the ac
commodation of the sisters. Bishop
Blanchet, Bishop of Washington Territory,
had given orders before setting out on his
Journey to Europe for the erection of a
convent schoolhouse, but after his de
parture Very Rev. Father Broulllet bad
come to the conclusion that Olympla was
the better place to open a school, as the
tide of immigration was setting In the
direction of Puget Sound. There was no
mail service In the Northwest, at that
time. Letters were carried back and forth
at the expense of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, and this only twice a year.
Tfceir first quarters was a room 10x18
feet. In tills small space were arranged
five beds, a few seats and a dining table,
tills last might be called a shelf as It
consisted of a board nailed to the wall.
Bishop Blanchet had solicited funds for
this new foundation but it required some
little time to provide bedding and especial
ly to make furniture as carpenters were
scarce.
The new missionaries made It their
duty In the Intervals of domestlo occupa
tions, to visit the sick and the Indigent,
both In the families of the whites and the
Indian inhabitants.
A new abode for the sisters was com
pleted February 26, 1857. and was 24x18
feet. ' There were two rooms and a stair
way leading to an attlo whloh served
them for a dormitory. This little institu
tion, the first of its kind In the North
west, is still preserved and Is used by
the slaters at House of Providence as a
sewing-room.
The first orphan, little mulatto girl
8 years of age, was received March 18,
185".
The first school was opened April 14,
1867, by Sister Mary of the Precious Blood
and Sister Blandlna. who were the first
teachers. The scholastio year, J8o7-58,
opened with ten boarding pupils and sev
eral more day pupils. This encouraged
the sisters and made them feel that their
work was appreciated.
In May, 1866. the first hospital in the
Northwest was opened and it la now
known as St. Joseph's Hospital, the larg
est one in Vancouver. In October, 1S58,
Sisters John of God end Mary Peter came
from Montreal to assist the five found
resses. Sister John attended the sick and
Sister Peter gave lessons in Instrumental
music Of the five sisters who followed
the first house of the order of the Sisters
of Charity of the House of Providence in
the West or at Vancouver. WaaJi. four
have since died. Bister Blandlna, who
now resides at Montreal, is the sols sur
vivor.
The first superior of this pioneer founda
tion. Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart,
was a Canadian by birth, and at the time
of the foundation at Vancouver in Decem
ber, 1856, waa 83 years of age. She re
mained superior in Vancouver until the
Summer of 1866, after which time she
was occupied In the business affairs of
the province, and especially in the con
struction of the various academies and
hospitals, for which she had a remark
able ability. The House of Providence
and chapel in particular is a monument
of her skill and devotedness. Mother
Joseph died at the age of 78.
Mother Praxedes was also a native of
Canada. On coming to the West she
was S6 years old. On the erection of the
western missions into a province In 1808
she was named Provincial Superior of
these houses, which office she continued
to fill until the Summer of 18SL Mother
Praxedes died at the age of 69.
Sister Blandlna was but 19 years of
age when aha left the country of her
birth for the "western wilds," In 1858.
She aided In the founding of several mis
sions and in the Autumn of 1873 was
named as directress of Novices In' Van
couver. In 1S7B she was appointed su
perior of the academy at Yakima City. In
1S95 she returned to Montreal where she
still lives the sole survivor of the noble
dauntless five.
Sister Vincent de Paul was 80 years of
age when she gave herself for the founda
tion at Vancouver. She celebrated the
golden Jubilee of her-rellglous profession
September 23, 1908. She spent 52 years of
her life in Vancouver and had she lived
until New Tear's day, she would have
bn 84 years of age. Save a single trip
which she made to Montreal she has lived
continuously in this city.
Hers was a cheerful disposition. She
waa known and esteemed by all of the old
pioneers in this district and throughout
the Northwest. She retained her faculties
to the very last.
Sister Mary of the Precious Blood had
Just .completed her 18th year when she
turned away from more earthly allure
ments to devote her life to the Interests
of religion on western shores of the Unit
ed States. She was of Irish parentage
and possessed a good English education.
She was the foundress of the work of
education In the Northwest and con
tinued this arduous employment until she
died in 1877.
At the present time there are 16 Houses
of Providence In the state of Washing
ton, seven in Oregon, eight In Montana
and three In Idaho. There are about 700
sisters employed by the order. The House
of Providence in this city is the Mother
House of the others in the Northwest It
was located on Tenth and C streets and
completed in isi.
EQUAL ANY GUNS AFLOAT
Rear-Admiral Mason Issues Report
on New fihJps.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 6. In his annual
report, made public today, Rear-Admlral
Mason, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance,
declared that the 12-lnch guns mounted
on the eight latest of our battleships al
ready in commission are on an equality
or superior in power to any 12-lnch gun
yet afloat anywhere in the world, and
the 12-inch guns of our battleships in
course of construction will be equal or
superior in power to any 12-lnch foreign
gun on which wo have authentic infor
mation. Anticipating the possible need
of a more powerful gun than any -now in
use, he favors the partial remodeling of
the naval gunshop factory at the Wash
ington Navy-yard In order to construct
an immense 14-inch gun designed to fire
a 1400-pound projectile.
The manufacture and preservation of
ammunition remains a great problem for
the Bureau of Ordnance, Admiral Mason
explains. In this connection the state

How I Restore Nerve Force
Every organ of your body is governed by a network of
nerve wires. These nerves convey the power which runs
the human machine. This power is called nerve force.
Nerve force is nothing but electricity. The reason any
organ becomes weak is because the nerves which control
It lack electricity, or nerve force, the motive power of your
body. This lack of nerve force is shown by weakness of
anv kind, whether in the stomach, liver, kidneys, heart rr
other organs.
If your, memory is poor,
confidence and nerve all
gone; sleep restless; if
you suffer frequent head
aches and your eyes are
dull and heavy. It shows
that your supply of nerve
force la depleted.
So many men try to
build up nerve force by
doping their stomachs
with drugs. It Is impos
sible. What the nerves
require is nourishment
nerve food. If there was
any nourishment in drugs,
they might do some good,
but you know there !s
not Drugs are drugs,
stimulants, narcotics, an
tidotes, poisons, not food
electricity is nerve food
nerve life. It soaks
Into your ' nerves and - Is
taken up by them Just as
a - anonere absorbs water.
It nourishes and vitalises
the parts which drugs cannot reach.
Every dose of drugs that you put into your stomach
weakens your nerves. Every time you kill a pain or an
aohe by stupefying the nerves with poisonous drugs you
are hurting them, and anyone can see that in time, by
steady dosing, your nervous system will be completely
broken down.
Electro-Vigor is a relief from the old system of drugging.
It does, by natural means, what you expect drugs to do by
unnatural means. It gives back to the nerves and organs
the power they have lost which Is their life.
Electro-Vigor is not an electrio belt It Is a dry cell body
battery, and makes it own power. It is easily, comfortably
being prosecuted by another branch of
the Government under the anti-trust
laws, proved a feature of the report
"The capacities of . the Government
plant are probably now such that during
the continuance of peace the Govern
ment may be considered, nearly inde
pendent of the Dupont Powder Compa
nies, and there is no danger of its hav
ing to buy at exorbitant prices," saye
Admiral Mason.
He recommends that the factory at In
dian Head be extended, but that It be
run less than its full capacity, so that
enough work will be left for private
plants to encourage their' owners to
maintain them In condition and to re
tain their valuable forces of chemists
and workmen.

applied TO THE CENTER OF DISEASE will assist nature In overcoming in
flammation and congestion, strengthen and REVITALIZE diseased tissues and
soothe and heal, where barrels of drugs taken Internally would merely impair
the digestion, deplete the blood, weaken the vital functions and produce gen

Is My Fee in any Uncomplicated Case
You Pay When Cured
Don't out off seeking treatment. Delay Is dangerous. Every moment you are
hesitating the disease Is gaining greater headway and will be that much Harder
to ure If you delay too long your condition will certainly pass beyond tne power
- of human skill. Remember that your ailment will not cure Itself.
Choose the Right Specialist
Th most Important thing for you to d o, if yon are an ailing man. Is to seek
the services of THE RIGHT DOCTOR. Don't go to the first one you see, simply
because he happens to be a physician. Choose the physician who makes a spe
cialty of curing the kind of ailments from .which YOU suffer. The ordinary
medical man really knows but little about curing the Diseases peculiar to men.
He merely has a general knowledge of such diseases, because his practice Is
spread out over the whole range of diseases to which flesh is heir. He therefore
knows a little about all Diseases and no t a great deal about any. If you should
go to him he may conscientiously try to cure you. but not knowing How. he
would have to experiment upon you. In brief, he is a mediral Jack of all
trades and master of none." Knowing these facts, would you want to trust your
life In his hands? If your watch were to break or get out of order, you wouldn t
take it to a machinist to have It repaired. No. you would know better. oa
would take It to the very best WATCHMAKER you could find. Then why should
you not use the same kind of good, sound Judgment when you need a doctor?
Your health Is certainly as important as your timepiece.
WHAT "WEAKNESS" IS
Weakness In men Is due to a diseased condition of the Prostate Gland. The Pros
tate Gland is a subsidiary, but. nevertheless, a very Important nerve center. In
flammation of this gland 1s therefore a serious matter. When Its importance to
the male organism is considered. It need not be wondered at that when it is dis
eased the result is felt even in the most remote parts of the system. Inflamma
tion of the Prostate Gland Interferes with the whole vital process. It results la
a tremendous waste of nervous energy a waste that depletes every nerve center,
impoverishes the blood and unless checked, will sooner or later prostrate the en
tire system.
Why the Diseased Prostate Causes Weakness
The reason Weakness results from the diseased prostate Is because of the waste of
nervous energy.
In case of disease, nature attempts to correct the trouble and force func
tional activity by sending to the infected region a greater quantity of nervous
energy than Is required in a healthy state. To supply this excessive energy to the
diseased section, nature draws upon the reserve store of energy In the brain. If
the reserve supply happens to be already exhausted, as Is often the case, then
an equal quantity of nerve-energy must be taken from the organs of the body
brain, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, etc. This process Is kept up until
the sufferer Is completely robbed by the d lsease of all vital energy, when nervous
prostration ensues. Thus all tho organs of the body are made to suffer for the
disease of one.
