If you have your dental work done at Dr. B. E. Wright's
Dental Office, Seventh and Washington Streets. You
can't afford to miss this opportunity. Have your work
done by skillful specialists and at about one-half the price
ycu have been paying, and have your work done absolutely
without pain. If you have crown and bridge work to be
done you positively cannct afford to trust it to some inex
perienced dentist in a small town. Come to the city and
have your work done by an expert, who gives his entire
time and attent'on to this most important brarch in the
dental profession. Remember, when a dentist is v. orking
on your teeth he is either doing you good or doing you i
harm, and you cannot afford to take any chances. As ref
erence, I respectfully refer you to the United States National
Bank, which is one of the strongest banking institutions on
the Pacific Coast, as to whether I am responsible for con

OPPOSITION IS STRONG
Prize Wagon Provokes Con
siderable Caustic Com
ment From a
Granger.
The Pomona Orange wagon . dis
cussion is resolving itself into at
least a three-cornered proposition.
1st, We have quite a respectable mi
nority of loyal grangers in the county
that do not approve of accepting more
for the prize wagon than its market
value, receiving more to them would
"have the appearance of evil.''
Therefore, from' this point of the tri-j
angular proposition, $75 would be the
"proceeds" the "nucleus" if yoa
please so to call it about which the
necessary reni'ijuder is supposed to
accumulate. In order to meet the ex-
pense of buying a tract of land and
1 uilding a Pomona hall ($75 "nu
cleus" and $2025 remainder). 1850
members paying an assessment of $1.50
would roll up the remainder : but in
bringing the matter to a pocket test of
tins kind.about one-third would"stand
the test." So 450 members would have
to pay $4.50 each. Certainly
they could do it if they were certain
that the end would justify the means ;
butjthe question is, would tiiey?
2nd. For another ooruor of the tri:
angle, we have the Pomona hall ad
vocates, who are also loyal patrons,
that have beoome weary of "putting
up" for the entertainment of Pom
ona's large and increasing magnitude.
Bight here is where something must
be done ; this is realized by the ma
jority of the members of Pomona, but
just what is for the good of the order,
broad basis concerning every person
in the county, aggregating two or
three -thousand 'dollars. From a
Granger's standpoint, $1850, divided
anions IS OrnnpfirH rr nanittt wnnlri
be a "barrel" as compared to the
Dungnoie" or a romona hall.
Would any subordinate Grange object
to receipt for its share of the money?

is the pertinent question to consider
wisely.
An efficient remedy would be to in
crease the annnal dues to fifty cents,
paying to the entertaining suborinate
Grange one fifth of the annnal dues.
Surely no loyal patron could reason
ably object to paying fifty cents a year,
well understanding that ten cents pr
quarter went to help ease the burden of
his or her entertainment. While this
test would control the attendance of
existing circnmstanoes, and Pomona
would not need to beg for a meeting
place, the good "inspiration" of hav
ing he Pomona Grange meet with
the subordinate Granges, would con
tinue to be felt by each Grange in the
county.
The other corner of our "flat Iron
field" is oom posed of P. of H. of
about the same kind as you will find
in any other corner of the county ;
they are opposed to building a hall for
the permanent home of Pomona,
which they think would tend to
place the Clackamas County Pomona
Grange in a grand hurrah annually
for a time, then reaction would set
in and the-quarterly meetings would
grow less interesting because of the
sameness in the working of Pomona
ont of its sphere of usefulness.
Has the State and National Granges
found it advisable to establish pre
manent homes for their sessions?
Here would not be a bad place to
throw in a .few "slurs" of "backbone
and sinew," and get down to'think
ing, if the future welfare of the order
is engraven very deeply on your
heartB; indeed, it is "up to us" as
Grangers, to act on this pending prop
osition and in snch action, may we
all pull together.
There is a point on this triangular
prize wagon affair in which we all
can rally around annually, with
credit to the Grange and Clackamas
county in general, and that is the
county fair proposition. This would
be tnring the wagon back to the track
from whence it came, for the good of
every person of the county, provided,
some real estate schemers did not
manage to run it into the ground,
booming their own interests. Any
central location should be required
to donate the fair grounds because of
the value the fair would be to such
locality.
It is not impossible to get subscrip
tions of $1 or more, as has been sug
ested, on a chance of getting the prize
wagon, if tho object is founded on a
STIMULATE PATRIOTISM.
Women's Relief Corps WW Give Prize
Jo High School Graduates.

Corps, held a meeting Monday . Mrs.
