Dr. Hubert 1eonard Advocates Sur gical Intervention to Improve Condition of Pelvis. With a tribute to Dr. A. T. Still, founder of osteopathy. Dr. W. W. Howard of Medford, president of the Oregon Osteopathic association, opened the annual convention in the assembly hall, 325 Morgan building, yesterday afternoon. About 30 members of th association were in attendance, at th meeting, which will close this evening, and much Interest was taken in the papers presented yesterday. Dr. Charles Petheram of Portland gave a paper on "The Relation of Local Infections to 'Systematic Disease," and the discussion was led by Dr. Mar) Howells of Albany. This brought out the fact that the osteopathic profession is making an effort to teach people the importance of keeping their teeth in perfect condition, and in such cases as found necessary, to have tonsils re moved, rather than allow the body to continue to absorb poisons, even from a small diseased area. "Common Surgical Conditions of the Pelvis'" was the subject of an address by Dr. Hubert Leonard, who emphasized that there are many abnormal condi tions of the pelvis which can be re lieved only by pnrriral intervention and that certain nervous conditions alsc can be relieved only by that method. Today's session will b opened at 9:30 o'clock this morning with a paper by Dr. Ralph Walton of Salem, on "Ob servations of Military Hospitals," with discussion led by Dr. Orville Waller of Eugene. "Infant Feeding" will be the subject of a paper by Dr. Ruth Eaton of Oregon City, with discussion led by Dr. C. L. Whitney of Portland. "The Seauollae of Influensa" will- be dis cussed by Dr. John Talbot of Portland. followed by open discussion. Luncheon will be served in the Port land hotel at noon, to be followed by the business meeting at which officers will be chosen. The afternoon programme will be opened with a paper by E. R. Lyda of The Dalles, on "Osteopathic Technique": and other numbers are: "Methods of Conserving Operator's Strength." Dr. Rhoda Hleks of Astoria: open discus sion; "Treating on the McManus Table."

We call attention lo excerpts from summary of a letter from Mr. Edward Morris, president of Morris and Company; : These bonds are secured by a first mortgage on all the company's properties, lease holds, rights, etc, and constitute its only funded obligations outstanding in the hands of the public Under the terms of the mortgage deed of trust, the company covenants, among other things, that: It will not, so long; as any of the bonds of this issue are outstanding, make or place or allow to exist, any mortgage lien other than the lien of this mortgage npon any of the land, buildings, machinery, fixtures, rolling stock or car equipment now owned by it, or upon any packing houses hereafter constructed or acquired by the company, or upon the machinery, fixtures, or apparatus of such packing houses. It will at all times maintain net current assets in an amount equal to at least the aggregate amount of bonds then outstanding. It will pay into a sinking fund annually on July 1, in cash or bonds of the company, an amount equal to, and not less than 1.6 per cent of the aggregate amount of bonds certified to by the trustee, including cancelled bonds, and m no year shall the' amount be less than $200,000; cash in tha sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds at not over 103 and interest, and bonds so acquired to be cancelled. The proceeds of this issue will be used, at the rate of 75 per cent of cost, to replace in current account part of the earnings placed from time to time in fixed assets for the increasing of plant capacity. The business of the company has been conducted for more than sixty years. It is today the third largest packing business in the world. The net current assets as at November 2. 1918, not including the proceeds of this issue, amounted to $33,486,449. The total fixed assets as at the same date were $43,150,135. making total net assets, after deducting all liabilities, except funded debt, of $76,636,584. or over 4J2 times the total amount of bonds outstanding, including the present issue. The average earnings available for all interest and federal taxes for the past five years have been approximately $5,569,400 per annum, or over 1 1 times the annual interest charges on the then outstanding bonds. Earnings available for interest and federal taxes for the year ending November 2. 1918, were $8,304,000, or over 10 times such charges, including this issue. PRICE 87V4 AND INTEREST TO YIELD OVER 5Va PER CENT It is expected that definitive bonds will be ready for delivery on or about July 15. 1919. Pending the preparation of such definitive bonds, interim receipts will be issued against confirmed sales exchangeable for definitive bonds if, as and when such bonds are issued and received by us.
