SCOTT SUIT DROPPED
DENTIST WITHOUT IilCEXSE,
PROTESTS STATE BOARD.
Three Trials Prove Ineffective and
Judge Bennett Orders De
fendant Dismissed.
After three trials by Jury in the Mu
nicipal Court, Dr. L. X. Scott, a dentist,
-was discharged last . night by Judge
Bennett, the third and last Jury bearing
the evidence having failed to find a ver
dict. Dr. Scott -was charged with vio
lating the dental laws In that he had
practised In thia city without bavins se
cured a license from the State Board
of Dental Examiners. Judge Bennett
i said that as both the defendant and
' the state had already been put to con
i slderable expense and that three Juries
had failed to convict him, he considered
It his duty to dismiss the case.
, Dr. Scott, as was brought out In the
trials, la A dentist of 22 years' experi
ence. He came to Portland Just after
! enactment of the new dental laws, and
i although b. applied to the dental board
for an examination to entitle him to
practice this was refused, he swore, and
the $25 which he sent In to the board
with his application for permission to
take the examination was never returned
to him.
The new law enacted in 1905 provided
that no . person not a graduate of the
National Association of Dental Colleges
would be permitted to take the exami
nation except those who had been prac
ticing dentistry In OSregon for more
than five years prior, to the enactment
of the law. Dr.- Scott and his attor
ney have contended that this was an
unreasonable and unjust provision of the
statute and was engineered by local
dentists to prevent entry Into the local
field of outside dentists. Dr. Scott de
clares he passed the examination In
Ohio and practiced there for many years
before coming here.
Attorney Fowler, who appeared for
Dr. Scott, declared that a majority of
the members of the State Board of Den
tal Examiners are not graduates of asso
ciation colleges, and that the board la
wrongfully withholding the $26 which Dr.
Soott sent In with his application for
permission to take the examination.

POTATOES JAKE BANNER
Shipment From Elgin Tops Portland
Market for Season.
J. B.' Thorsen and H. H. "Wltherspoon.
owners of the Sprlngdale fruit farm at
Elgin. Or., have shipped to Portland two
carloads of potatoes that topped the Port
land market. The potatoes are of un
usual quality, and are a sample of the
season's crop at 3 gin.
The country around Elgin is taking its
first stride In potato-raising this year, ac
cording to Mr. Withefepoon. The crop
ran from 100 to 200 bushels to the acre,
and yielded about 24,000 bushels from the
260 acres planted. Next year, it Is ex
pected, 1000 acres will be planted. -
The Springfield fruit farm contains 300
acres. Two hundred acres are planted
to apples of the King, Delicious. Winter
Banana and Spitzenberg varieties. The
potatoes are raised between the rows of
apple trees. .
"We harvested the largest crop of pota
toes in the state this year," said Mr.
Witherspoon yesterday. ' "Oft of 85 acres
we obtained 19,000 bushels'.! This is con
siderably larger than the Medford crop
which was claimed as the largest."
