AnsiverlnK Question.
If the prediction of Mr. T. B. Potter, re
cently appointed a member of the Union
Pacific Land and Emigration Bureau, and
for years largely Interested in Crook
County irrigation schemes. Is only half
way fulfilled, then the next four months
Trill witness such an influx of homeseek-
ers in the great Northwest, particularly
Oregon, as will tax to the utmost the pas
senger capacity of every railroad reaching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Mr. Potter returned from Chicago and
other Eastern points two days ago. lie is
full to overflowing with hope and enthusi
asm, and is confident that Oregon is the
Mecca of a large majority of the Westward-bound
settlers. Concerning Crook
County irrigation projects, Mr. Potter
speaks confidently, being firm in the belief
that both private and public companies
are lending their best efforts to the carjy
development of the fertile Deschutes Val
ley. "My trip East." said Mr. Potter last
night, "was eminently satisfactory in
more ways than one. As the accredited
representative of the Land and Immigra
tion Bureau of the Hnrriman lines, I was
enabled to gain much valuable Informa
tion, such information, in fact, as could
not have been obtained from any other
source.. I am simply amazed at the num
ber of homeseckcrs who are turning their
gaze upon the Northwest, particularly
Oregon. It is not safe to estimate how
many will arrive during the next four
months, but 50.000 would not surprise me
In the least. The cheap rates West will
bo operative February IS, continuing for
four months.
"In the Chicago Immigration Bureau of
the Union Pacific I found 15 of the worst
rushed men I ever saw. They arc literal
ly doing nothing but talk the great North
west, which means that Oregon, with its
Lewis and Clark Pair, is receiving its Just
share of pertinent Inquiry. I am in a posi
tion to say that thousands have already
committed themselves to the Northwest,
and from the number of circulars and
pamphlets that are being sent out every
day, the grand total will simply be tre
mendous. Now don't think I am excited
or over-enthusiastic, for I'm not I'm
merely stating facts. Let mc give you on
example.
"On the return trip home I accidentally
fell into conversation with two men. one
a Michlgander, the other hailing from
Wisconsin. The first represented a party
of 30 and the other 25 families, all wanting
homes in Oregon. These advance agents,
as thoy might very properly be called, are
bound for Crook County. If they find
things there as represented (and they
will), their influence will be far-reaching.
"Speaking of Crook County reminds mo
that I want to say something of the
famed Deschutes Valley. That strip of
land is capable of supporting 00,000 peo
ple: now remember what I say 00.000.
When once It is properly irrigated, and
the work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible, Deschutes will be the agricul
tural garden spot of the Pacific Coast.
The Columbia Irrigation Company, of
which I am agent, owns 17.000 acres in
this Valley, and by July a large per cent
of it will be under irrigation. The work
is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and
the same can be said of other irrigation
companies owning arid lands in that local
ity. Incidentally, let me say that if my
company owned 270.000 acres instead of
27,000, we could dispose of every acre of It,
and even then the demand would not bo
nearly supplied.
"When the Columbia Southern is ex
tended through Crook County, it will give
greater impetus to irrigation work all over
that country. Then, too, there Is tho
Portage road. Portland people ought to
see that it would be of tremendous ad
vantage to Portland. It would bring that
vast area of timber land, now practically
useless, in close touch, and in other ways
materially benefit this city. The Des
chutes Valley is a valuable tributary of
Portland and should not be overlooked."
WORST HE EVER SAW.
Special Anent of Ilurnl Free Deliv
ery Defines OreKon Ilond.
"The worst I ever flaw," said Major
John B. Jeffrey yesterday, and then con
tinued a graphic account of the difficulties
that Oregon roads present to the traveler
in highways that He beyond the city lim
its. Major Jeffrey is a special agent of
the rural free delivery system, and for
the last few days has been riding over
the routes in this vicinity on a tour of
Inspection.
"I did not know there was so much
mud on earth," said the Major, "but It
does not seem to interfere much with
the popularity of .the service. I noticed
that people in the rural districts of this
part of the country seem more pleased to
have free mall delivery than anywhere in
the states farther East; in fact, an I"
Major Jeffrey turned to greet a man
who appeared at the hotel counter. "This
is Mr. Ward." said ho to the scribe in the
exchange of greetings, "Mr. Morris E.
Ward. He used to be in the newspaper
business himself."
Mr. Ward, who is now a director of
several large railway supply companies
in Chicago, hastened to apologize.
"I was at one time city editor of the
Rocky Mountain News, In Denver, he
said, "but that wag long ago. Later I
was on the staff of the old Chicago
Times." Mr. Ward then explained that
tills was his first visit to the Coast, and
Inquired anxiously if it rained In Port
land all the time.
"Times are very good In Illinois," said
Mr. Ward, after the reporter had earn
estly assured him that the annual rain,
fall was only 29 Inchon, "and in one par
ticular especially the state has done well
politically. The represehta lives of Illi
nois In both houses of Congress seem to
be men of more than ordinary ability.
Cannon and Hltt, in fact, all of them, are
becoming' National figures."
"One thing I have noticed In Portland."
said Major Jeffrey. "In the drinking water.
It Is noticeably good. Perhaps the rain
has some effect on it- At any rate It is
nearly good enough to bottle and send
East. I suppose that the mountains make
the water supply easy to obtain In all
Coast clticw."
The reporter began to explain that the
inhabitants of Seattle claimed that their
Cedar River water was unequaled on
earth, when Mr. Ward Interrupted with
a remark that "Cedar River water should
at any rate be absolutely moth-proof. The
hotel clerk called for medical assistance,
and the conversation ended.
AN APPEAL FROM CLATSOP
Not Complimentary to Some of Our
Statesmen.
FLAVEL. Or., Jan. 29. To the Edi
tor.) Can any more pitiable scene be im
agined than the present attitude of the
Legislature at Salem? The great State
of Oregon is in Jeopardy again from a
suicidal policy adopted of late years by
the Republican party. It Is not a fight
between the forces of two great National
parties. It Is a paltry, foolish, scandal
ous and senseless fight between two fac
tions of the Republican party. Do the
members of the present Legislature pro
pose to go through the session acting
like a pack of schoolboys? Do they in
tend to repeat the programme of 1S93
when Senator Dolph was turned down,
who had stood by his state loyally and
ably for many terms? The battle then
ran through the entire session and when
the clock was pointing to the hour of
midnight on the last day. they picked
out of the political waste-basket a scrap
elected it and sent It to Washington.
, Six years ago the same programme was

ants of the state, to work for the state
and to do the state's behests.
Gentlemen, you are In a groove and your
vision Is narrowed by the corridors of the
Capitol. Come out under the open sky
and widen your range of vision and take
a long look Into the future and your pres
ent pigmy views of men and things will
disappear and your eyes will be opened
clearly to your duty In the present emer
gency. Elect the best man the state can
produce C. W. Fulton If he Is the best
roan and I believe he Is at this time.
Mr. Gcer is not the popular candidate,
now, nor at any time has been. Two
men cannot be found who will work to
gether more harmoniously or more per
sistently" than John II. Mitchell and C
W. Fulton.
We want largo appropriations" for river
and harbor improvements and we want
them at once. Wo have wanted them
for four years past: and why have we
not had them? Simply because our State
Legislature has fooled its time away by
sending men of no account. Can any
one be so foolish as to think if Mr. Dolph
had been returned that all this howl about
a shoallng bar would bo now made? A
spouter from one of our mountain states
caught Oregon in a weak condition and
her poor little representatives shrank
Into their seats and listened In terror to
this mountain giant for 13 long hours,
until the gavel fell closing Congress.
This is history, gentlemen of the Leg
islature; of the unpalatable kind and fresh
in tho memory of some of you who were
members at that time. To your shame bo
It said that your state has gone back
ward since that time.
Do you still propose to continue this
disgraceful policy and for some petty
prejudice work against the welfare ot
your Btato and make yourselves the
laughing-stock of your own country and
of the world?
Senator Farrar, of Marion County, has
taken a sensible step and It Is to be
hoped that his example will be followed.
You have appropriated $500,000 to the I
Lewis and Clark Fair, and thus far have 1
done well. You are the servants of the
peoplo and the people look to you for a
dignified discharge of your duties at this
time as members of tho Legislature of the
great state of Oregon.

You can Imagine how such an -unhappy
stato of affairs on the part of that Amer
ican young woman would appeal to the
heart of any chivalrous man; so I made
immediately preparations to relieve the
chocolate famine across the water.
"Of course, I could send her outright
boxes of all kinds of chocolate creams,
but I wanted to make the arrival of these
longed-for confections a somewhat insidi
ous surprise; so I took a brand"-new, great,
big. trashy novel, well bound, which &
designing clerk had foisted on me at th
book store 'Frazzled Edges' was the
name qf It, I believe and I had all the
reading matter cut neatly out, leaving a
broad, firm margin, which formed a nice
box. Tnis I packed full of fine chocolate
drops, closed the covers of the book over
them and tied It with sliver ribbons. I
wish I could sec that girl's face when she
opens the express package. In a few days
I am going to send her a larger consign
ment to follow up the pleasant impres
sion made by those packed in the book.
When an American girl abroad wants
American chocolate-drops, she ought to
have them." '

The Six-Year Molar-Painless Dentistry
PAINLESS EXTRACTIONS AND
FILLINGS
We have thoroughly solved the prob
lem of extracting and tilling teeth without
causteg tho slightest pain to the patient.
You can have any number of teeth ex
tracted without feeling a single twinge of
pain or suffering from any bad after ef
fects. Realizing that the average man or
woman stays away from the dentist when
work Is badly needed through fear ot pain.
Dr. W. X. Wise gave this Important
branch of the profession a large portion
of his vatcable time, knowing that if It
was possible to guarantee painless work
a long-suffering public would hall tho
announcement with joy. Dr. Wise suc
ceeded beyond his fondest hopes, and that
the public appreciates his efforts is shown
by tho number of grateful patients that
throng his office every day. To insure
the absolute guarantee of no pain made In
these advertisements. Dr. W. A. Wise
gives his personal attention to the ex
traction of all -teeth, and the surprise ot
some people when they And troublesome
teeth have been removed without the In
fliction of pain is often very amusing.
Thousands of people from every part of
this city and state have patronized our
office, and if you arc in any doubt about
the truth of any statement that we make,
ask some of your friends, who have had
work performed by us, and you will have
every claim that we make fully substantiated.

A FEW WORDS OF ADVICE
V! W
If you have trouble of any kind with
your teeth, come to our office at once
and let us make an examination and give'
you our advice. Delay will prove ex
pensive in more ways than one. If a small
cavity Is promptly filled It will arrest
decay and the tooth -will bo saved, but
neglect it and in a short time you will
lose the tooth. If you entrust us with
your work you will receive the most con
siderate and skillful treatment, as' we
employ onlv recognized experts. Differ
ent men in our employ make a specialty
of different lines, and you are always as
sured of the most scientific treatment.
Our prices will bo found extremely mod
crate. We have been in active practice in
Portland for the past 1G years, and have
always aimed to treat our patients with
fairness. We do so much work and buy
our supplies in such large quantities that
wc are able to make' moderate prices.
This Illustration shows a cast of a lady's mouth before
It was placed In order by our painless method of put
ting In .teeth without plates.
This picture shows a cast of the same mouth after the
work was completed and is only a sample of the artistic
work In this specialty that we are doing every day.
CROWN AND BRIDGE WORK
Ma,ny person: have a front tooth broken
off or decayed until nothing but tho root
is left, and an ugly space or opening be
tween the remaining teeth calls- the at
tention of every one that something should
be done to remedy the defect. The rea
son it has noti been cared for in many
Instances is because of the dread of pain,
which you nowiiecd not fear, and. also,
for the further reason that the parties so
afflicted hato the thought of wearing a
plate. Modern dentistry and up-to-date
dentists would not suggest a plate, but
would place on the r6ot a crown, or elso
a tooth, or teeth could be attached to a
bridge or bridges and the patient would
not be bothered with a plate, and the
mouth, instead of attracting the attention
i
of every one, and tho thought, "How much
better he would look were his teeth In
good condition?" would call forth tho
remark: "How nice that gentlcman'a
teeth look." Crowns and bridges are a
success, and when properly made and at
tached have come to stay.
THE SIX-YEAR MOLAR
The dotted line in the cut above points
to the first or six-year molar, and is one
of the .things that parents of young chil
dren are the least Informed about In den
tistry. Almost every mother who goes
to the dentist with her child In trouble
with toothache, contends that it is only
a first or baby tooth. This is a sad mis-
- I
take, and should be looked after and filled
before tho tooth has gone beyond repair.
This is one of the most Important teeth
in the mouth, as the regularity of tho
permanent teeth depends upon its mainte
nance. It usually comes when the child la
6 years old. hence Its name, and should by
all means be saved and not extracted for
the good of the child In after years.
PLATE WORK
X specialist In active practice for the
past 23 years; and who is one of the most
scientific dentists in the West, Is paying
particular attention to this branch of the
profession, with the result that our plate
work cannot be improved upon. It,you are
now wearing a plate that causes' annoy
ance, come and see us, and try one of our
flexible rubber plmteo, which always give
satisfaction.
