The First Baptist Church was filled to its capacity last night, on the occasion o the commencement exercises of. the Kofth Pacific Dental College. Forty-one members of the 1905 class received diplomas conferring' upon them the degree of doctor of dental medicine, and as eachi of these stepped forward to receive the insignia of his knowledge and the authority for his fitness in his chosen profession, he was greeted with hearty applause. A pleasing programme, Intersperse'd with advice, commendation and music, was arranged for the exit of the seniors from college life. Judge Alfred F. Sears delivered the annual address, in which he dwelt at length on the obligations of citizenship and. the necessity for professional men recognizing and fulfilling such. He made a strong plea that In the coming primaries not only the graduates, but the' audience, should do all in their power to see that men were nominated for office who would make, enforce and execute all proper 'laws. Dr. B. F. Eshelman conferred the de grees, and in a pleasant strain com mended the class, for Its past work. In his charge to the graduates Dr Thomas L. Eliot in Ills free way offered wholesome advice for the guidance of the new dentists- in the future, and urged upon them the necessity of main taining the high standard, now set in the profession. The valedictory was delivered by B. N. Hamm. A. B.. D. M. D. In "A Red. "Red Rose" and "The Nightingale Song," Miss Edwina Mas tick was never heard to better advantage,- and the selections rendered by the trio, composed of Miss- Hugglns. piano; Mr. Spltzner. violin, and .air.

THE AUTOMATIC FRANCHISE Fred. Merrill Says He Js "ot In Favor of It. Two mooted questions will be before the City Council today, and there seems no probability of either being settled. The. .automatic telephone franchise nas one supporter absent and one or two who are accredited with backsliding and the billboard ordinance is being used as a shuttlecock between the Council meeting and the license com mittee. Four members of the Council have stood resolutely out against the auto matic telephone and to secure one of these would be necessary to pass tho franchise. It was rumored yesterday that such a one had been found. It was not Rumelln, nor Sherrett, but was said to be Fred T. Merrill. When asked yesterday If he would change his vote on that question. Merrill at first almost said he would. He said he might spring a surprise -on the Council meet ing. Then he explained why he thought the automatic telephone would be a bad thing. The seventh member of the Council nccesary to vote for a fran chise for tho automatic telephone was evidently not Fred T. Merrill. However, he did not say yesterday what he was going to do toJay. He can do what he pleases If Dr. Sanford Whiting does not appear, for with him absent, as anticipated, a suf ficient number of votes cannot be ob tained to pass the franchise. The billboard ordinance seems to be in the usual condition of nobody know ing just what is wanted and no two members of the Council having .the same Ideas on the subject. At the last meeting of the Council "an ordinance was introduced on this subject and was passed over to the license committee to see what could be done about It. The license committee held a hurried meet ing last Monday at which it reud over a portion of the proposed ordinance and decided that the Council could not do much with the ordinance in its pres ent shape, and that a further expres sion of opinion was desirable so it referred the proposed ordinance back to the Council, and there is no telling what will become of it now. IT DOES NOT FAVOR PLAN Chamber of Commerce Refuses to Commend Xew Department. The proposition in which the Chamber of Commerce was asked to co-operate, by which an agitation was to -be started tending to the creation of a Government department Into which the Interstate commerce commission should be merged, was-indefinitely postponed as it was not thought time for the consideration of such a question at a meelng of the Chamber yesterday. The plan proposed called for the merging of the commission into a department, the secretary of the commis sion to be the secretary .of the depart ment To it would bo submitted the es tablishment and maintenance of all rail road freight rates and the settlement of all rate disputes. The petition of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce asking that the Portland or ganization join in an effort to have the Government dredge Chinook remain at work on the Columbia river bar was re fused, it bein thought by the trustees' that the question had been settled by the Government.

In order to get money for current ex penses the St. Johns Council at its meeting Mo'nJay evening decided to Im pose an occupation tax. on all business houses of that place. For this purpose, and to secure an. estimate as to how much of a taxto levy, the whole matter was referred to the tinance committee, to report at the next meeting. It is said that the business. men generally favtfr an occupation tax as they realize that money must be had for expenses, pro vided that it is not made too sleep. It la .thought that an occupation that will not oe burdensome will yield about $100 per month. - DEGREES ARE CONFERRED UPON MEMBERS OF 1905 CLASS .. OF NORTH PACIFIC DENTAL:' V COLLE.GF w OMnger.
