GOOD TEETH ARE A PASSPORT IN
BUSINESS AND SOCIETY
J A mouth filled with .white, strong teeth is the most
striking feature of the face. Neglect your teeth and
you are sure to suffer physically and probably finan
cially. The day when slovenly people succeed is past.
If your teeth ache or you notice a cavity in one of your
teeth, have it attended to at once. A stitch in time
saves nine. ,
fl Those missing teeth don't look well. If you will
call at this office we will make a- bridge for you that
will look as well and chew your food as well as natural
teeth. This work is accomplished without plates and
is one of the greatest triumphs of modern dentistry.
I "When no sound teeth remain, then we make plates
that nt perfectly.

CHARTER BOARD TO MEET
Council Also Has Many Important
Matters- for Consideration and
Session of Executive
Board Will Follow.
This will be one of the most active
weeks ever known in the history of Port
land In official circles, beginning to
morrow afternoon with committee meet
ings of the Council and continuing with
important sessions of various official
Bodies of the municipality until the end
of the week. Perhaps the most signifi
cant of all will be the first meeting of
the newly-named charter revision com
mission, set for Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock. The City Council meeting of
Wednesday also bids fair to be one of the
liveliest on record.
Beginning tomorrow afternoon there
will also be a large amount of official
business transacted by Council commit
tees. The ways and means committee,
the liquor-license committee and the gen
eral license committee, all of the City
Council, will meet, and the Board of Ed
ucation will also hold its regular session.
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock the
members of the new charter revision
committee will meet in the Council
chambers, pursuant to a call by Mayor
Lane, who will act as temporary chair
man. Organization will be effected, and
a policy probably will be adopted to
govern the members In their future work.
Ik may be that the commission will meet
frequently after the first session. Their
actions will be followed with great in
terest by the public. The Council com
mittee on Judiciary will also meet on
Tuesday afternoon.
The Council will be In session all of
Wednesday, and perhaps a portion of
Thursday. An immense amount of offi
cial business has accumulated since the
last session. Some debatable subjects
are down for action and It would not be
surprising if these take up most of the
Council's time. Mayor Lane's request
for additional policemen to clean up the
North End district and likewise every
other district in the city where there
are disorderly women, will be an im
portant subject of discussion. Inasmuch
as some of Us members have already
made extremely sarcastic remarks con
cerning the proposal, it is thought likely
they will take occasion to make caustic
flings at the Executive during the ses
sion. Thursday afternoon the regular meet
ing of the fire commltte of the City Ex
ecutive Board will be held and Friday
afternoon the Executive Board will hold
Its bi-weekly session.
THREATEN MEXICAN JUDGE
Black-Hand Thugs Send
From Pittsburg.
tetter
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 22. Excitement
was caused at police headquarters here
yesterday by the receipt of a letter from
Pittsburg, written ostensibly by a mem
ber of the "Blaek Hand" and threaten
ing the life of Judge Juan Perez de Leon.
The envelope In which the missive was
inclosed bore the printed inscription of
the Pittsburg Hotel. Judge de Leon
was the magistrate who recently sent
two Americans to prison, charged with
robbing a bank messenger. It Is believed
here that they are members of a dan
gerous criminal band who worked In va
rious capitals, and that the alleged
"Black Hand" letter was from their con
federates who escaped and returned to
Pittsburg. The police of Pittsburg and
Philadelphia will be asked to trace the
sender of the letter.

compelled to flee from the flames in their
night elothes. Mrs. Mary Kuhns. 66
years old. was carried down a ladder from
br rooms on the second floor of the
burning building and others were as
sisted by the firemen In escaping from
the flames.

Wizard Made Chaiu.nan of Commis
sion That Will U.Vidertake Build
ing of Highwtty to Oregon's
Natural 'Wonderland.
E. H. Harrlnan has been named
chairman of a commission to provide
ways and metis for the construction
of a wagon ro$d to Crater Lake. Gov
ernor Chamberlain appointed the Union
Pacific magnate to the position because
of Mr. Harijf man's enthusiasm over
Crater Lake and the resorts of South
ern Oregon, He maintains that there
are no moijfntalns, rivers or lakes any
where else so beautiful, as those of
this state,,
This is . the first official position E.
H. Hangman has ever held in this
state, but as he is the biggest, tax
payer Ixv Oregon, It is not Inappropriate
that Ire, assist in the administration of
the a'cate's affairs. While it Is likely
he nun not have the time to attend
personally to the details of building
the ijoad, he has declared his willing
ness to do all he can to aid the project
and will act In accord with the other
members of the commission. .
That body Is to seek the best rpute
for u wagon road to the famous resort,
whether from the Klamath country or
from the Rogue River Valley, and out
line plans for the construction of the
'thoroughfare. The preservation of big
1 trees along the road, the establishment
of road houses or stations, the rent
of which, it is proposed, shall go
toward keeping up the road, and all
other details will be decided by the
commission, which will hold . a meet
ing within a short time and lay its
plans. ,
Governor Chamberlain's Idea, which
is heartily approved by all members
of the commission, as well as. others
Interested in Oregon's scenic attrac
tions, is to provide easier metlhods of
reaching Crater Lake, and thus
popularizing the resort. The . present
roads are considered difficult and It
Is the general opinion that better ones
should be provided. i
The commission Just named, by Gov
ernor Chamberlain Is as follows: E. H.
Harrlman. L. R. Webster, JJlenry L.
Benson, Dr. J. F. Reddy, F. H. Hopkins,
Benton Bowere, J. H. Scott. G.; T. Bald
win. T. B. Wilcox, W. I. Vawfter, C. S.
Jackson, Colonel F. H. Ray. ,
The members represent allj portions
of the state and the Southern Oregon
members, have an Intimate knowledge
of the country to be tra-wersed and
possess information as to ithe best
route. All are familiar with road
building and its Importance in induc
ing tourist travel. -
EATilSr RESUMPTION tf LIKELY
Kruitschnltt Makes Xo. Promises
Regarding Tillunioo'4. Line.
That the "Lytle road" to Tillamook will
not be completed very sooni Is Indicated
by the lack of definite sqatements by
either Mr. Lytle or Julius Kruttschnitt,
Mr. Harriman's director of maintenance
and operation, who returned to Portland
yesterday, after a trip lsto the Tilla
mook country.
We had a nice trip So Tillamook,"
said Mr. Kruttschnitt. but when asked
if there was any prospeat of the early
completion of the "Lytle road." he said
he could make no announcement at
present.
Do you regard the Tillamook district
as attractive to a rallrotsi system?" was
asked. '
'It is a great country' he said, "par
ticularly in regard to tjie timber there.
I have never seen sucii timber In my
life." ,
L It is not at all likely that .anything
will be done toward tile completion of
the Tillamook line until next season at
any rate. The season ! so far advanced
that but little could bo) accomplished be
fore the Winter rains put an end to con
struction. However, Mr. Kruttschnltt's
conference with MY. Hnrriman this week
may result In the mtignate adopting a
recommendation that (the Tillamook line
be completed next season.
Railroad men realize that it is too late
to do anything in trie Coast Mountains ,

NEW KOAD ENTERS OREGON
California & JTortlieastcrn Reaches
Terminus on State Line Today.
Todav marks ths entry of a new rail
road to Oregon, for the California &
Northeastern, the Harrlman line being
k Kf.nh from Weed. Cal.. will es
tablish a new terminus at Caloro, on the
state line, today. Dorris. four miles
further south, has been the terminus ior
some time, but rails will be laid and
trains operated to Caloro hereafter.
R. H. Dunbar, secretary of the Klamath
Chamber of Commerce, Klamath Falls,
is in Portland, and he says the presence
of Mr. Harrlman in Klamath County Is
having the effect of hastening the com
pletion of this road. Construction forces
have been ordered to rush the work and
it is - thought that the .. line will
have been completed Into the Klamath
marshes by Fall. It la expected that work
will be halted there for a while, because
the soft marshy ground, after being
thrown up by the grading gangs to form
the roadbed has to settle to make a solid
foundation for the' track. However, all
possible speed will be made in construct
ing the new road.

combination of the names of the two I
states, on account of it being at the di
viding line, is 2U miles from Klamath
Falls, although It is on Klamath Lake,
and better transportation facilities are of
fered to fhe Klamath people than ever
before. Passengers and freight are car
ried to Caloro by boat from Klamath
Falls, where they are transferred to the
trains, - thus doing away with the long
stage rides that have heretofore- made the
trip to and from Klamath Falls so tire
some. The California Northwestern will un
doubtedly be built north through the
Klamath County, and on. to Natron,
where It will connect with the main line
of the Southern Pacific. It is expected
that when completed, the new road will
itself be made the main line, doing away
with the heavy grades and curves of the
present line over the SlFklyou Mountains.
Trains td Wallowa by October 1.
Work has progressed so far on the
Wallowa extension of. the O. R. & N.
from Elgin to Joseph, 57 miles, that
trains will be running Into the city of
Wallowa by October 1. Rails will be
laid to that place September 1. Wal
lowa is half way to Joseph, and is sit
uated 30 miles from Elgin. The comple
tion of the werk to Wallowa means that
the most difficult construction on the
extension has been completed. The re
mainder of the work Is comparatively
eaRy It will not be completed before the
end of next season.
