MODERN DENTISTRY PERFECTLY APPLIED At aome time or another we all need the service of a dentist. And we are fortunate when we secure the services of a skilled man. The skilled dentist has a natural aptitude for his work, which he develops by study and practice, mostly practice. Then again, he keeps in touch with all new develop ments in his profession. Ex- perience is the greatest teacher and the man with the largest practice ought to be the best dentist, provided he likes hia work. DB. B. E. WRIGHT. For 13 years we have been in active practice in Portland, and in that time have built up, by conscientious, considerate work, the largest dental clien tele in the Northwest. We can give the best possible results for the money, a guarantee that means something at this office. We save teeth that look to be worthless. We build bridges to supply missing teeth that are as useful and comfortable as your natural teeth. When you must have plates, we fit you perfectly.

PLEASED WITH RESOURCES Representatives of Large Transpor tation Lines Declare Tbelr Visit tn City to Bate Been Inter esting and ' Profitable. With kind words for Portland and the hospitality of her people, the traveling passenger agent from throughout the country left the city Friday night and yesterday for their homes. They were not slow In expressing their appreciation of the efforts of the Commercial Club, the Women' Club and the various transpor tation companies here to make their stay in the city a pleasant one. All were out spoken In praise of their treatment. Before leaving the city many took occa sion to write their thanks to their hosts. They had spent two days in the city and on the Columbia River. Portland people have seldom. If ever, taken greater inter est in the entertainment of visitors than In welcoming the traveling passenger agents. That they left the city with the kindest thoughts of Portland and her people is a cause of great gratification locally. Among the written thanks tendered to the Commercial Club are the following statements from representative passenger men from all parts of the country: President M. H. Bohreer. of the associ ation (D. P. A. Mobile & Ohio R. R-. Chicago), eays: . "It does not seem to me that one who has visited your beautiful city can ade quately express his opinions and pleasant impressions in a short, hurriedly written note. "The hospitality of your people, the warm greetings to our association, have endeared you to us for all time, and as the date of our departure approaches we realize more fully the lasting friendship we hold for you and your good people. Your poasibilities for the future need no prophet to foresee your growth is evi denced on every hand. Portland need have no Jealousies, as she has already established herself. While her rivals may have, for the time being, a seemingly commercial equality, they have not the solid foundation for permanent greatness possessed by Portland, a city of homes, culture, integrity, refinement and enengy all combined, making her, in my opinion, the best place on earth to live and raise a family. "We sincerely thank you for the lavish manner of our entertainment, and shall not forget to boost Portland and the Commercial Club for all time to come." Prospect Pleases Visitors. Many of he visitors confessed they wished they might be residents of Port land, and one of these was S. F. John son, of the Pennsylvania lines, from Lo gansport, Ind. He said: "Arriving in Portland expecting to re main only one day. after meeting some of your people I changed my mind and decided that I would like to live here. My trip over the city and Council Crest was most delightful, and I can only say that the "City of Rosea" Is beyond my power of description. The memory of that trip upon the river will ever remain with ro." "What more could she wish for to make her one of the foremost cities of the United States?" writes G. W. Thomp son, travelrfig passenger agent of the Wilmington Transportation Company, Cataltna Island Route. "With her rail and water transportation facilities, her great fisheries, lumber Industries, ag ricultural and horticultural products, the unsurpassed scenic beauty of her mountains and the Columbia River, and a healthful climate with all these ad vantages her broad gauge, energetic hospitable people will surely realize all they hope for in their city." Short, but to the point, is the expres sion of Powell Phllipps, city passen ger agent. North Carolina St. Louis, Nashville, Tenn.: "On my second trip to the great Northwest I am Impressed with your wonderful improvements and Portland, the gem city of them all. Is the most beautiful place I have ever visited." Kansas City is full of "boosters" and one of her very best is J.- B. Frawley. D. P. A. of the Harrlman lines there. In his note to the Commercial Club he does not overlook the opportunity to throw a bouquet to Kansas City. "Portland possesses the true Kansas City spirit of originating and doing things." he said. "My one regret is that my home on the banks of the Kaw is so far away from Portland. It's bad for Portland,- too, as I am sure we could help your thriving city by our wonderful example. Here's hoping Portland may continue to keep pace with Kansas City." Maiden Trip Is Surprise. H. P. Mantz. D. P. A., Rock Island and Frisco lines. St. Louis, Mo., found his "maiden trip" to the North Pacific Coast a series of surprises. "My trip j to Portland is an ever-to-be-remembered event in my life," he said, "and I sincerely hope not the last Journey I shall make to this glorious corner of our great country. "While I have known for a great, many years that the great Northwest was destined to be at some time a vast empire in itself, I never before real ized what possibilities you have, and what great strides you have already made to this end. I shall return home Imbued with the spirit which I have absorbed in this hustling atmosphere and hope from the knowledge and ex perience I have gained on this trip to contribute substantially to the up building of Portland and the North west. "The reception and hospitality tend ered to our association by the railroad representatives in Portland, the mem bers of the Commercial Club and the ladles of Portland shall ever be a green spot In our memories, and we of the Middle West hope that It may be our pleasure and privilege to recipro cate your many kindnesses at a day not far distant. My best wishes for your continued prosperity." - j Portland's marvelous progress since the Lewis and Clark Exposition is the theme of a letter from Neil Mooney, general Western passenger agent of the West Shore, Chicago. In his own words: "In all my travels, which extend over the United States, I have yet - to find a city which has improved as has Port land, the metropolis of the Northwest, since my visit three years ago. Your efforts in behalf of our association dur ing the past few days will ever leave a warm spot in our hearts." J. J. Forster, traveling passenger agent, Pere Marquette System, Chicago: "The words haven't been coined that could properly express my sentiments and appreciation of Portland's hospitality." Another man who wants to be a Port lander and knows what he is talking about, for his 37 years of railroad experi ence have familiarized him with all parts of the United States and Mexico, is W. W. Dunnavant, traveling passenger agent of the Queen & Crescent Route, Cleve land, O , who, after expressing his ap preciation of the reception tendered him self and fellows, adds: "I will seek no farther. Portland, with her many attrac tions, is my Ideal, and I will never be satisfied until I can call this city my home." Portland Wins the Palm. H. J. Snyder, general agent of the Na tional Railways of Mexico, with office at- San Francisco, gracefully awards the palm to Portland. ' "It is a regrettable fact ' that every champion must sooner or later admit of defet,"' he writes. "Mexico has always claimed she has no peer in hospitality and beauty of'scenery, but I must admit, after partaking of your kindness on this trip and beholding the beauties of Ore gon, of which we have had a glimpse since our arrival at Portland, the trophy must be surrendered. I herewith tender the same to the Northwest." Portland's substantial aspect is fre quently commented upon by visitors from the Atlantic Coast, and F. W. Angler, agent of the Pacific division ot ihe Union Pacific, at' San Jose. Cal.. must have come from that region, if his letter is an index. "Many years ago," he writes, "the State of Maine possessed the prettiest city in the Union, but in the march of progress another state sprang Into ex istence, another Portland was brought to life. It grew and grew, until the old Portland, the city of beautiful homes and hospitable people, has been outdone by its namesake. In the new city the same spirit of hospitality, air of refinement and beautiful homes are found, the same conservative, whole-souled people, who are building a city upon a solid and sub stantial basis. The new Portland is push ing her interests and bringing her name to the front in a way that cannot be for gotten." "I cannot command the language that will properly express my appreciation of the Pacific Northwest, particularly Port land, and the hospitality of the Commer cial Club," said F. B. Humston, general agent of the Monon Route, Bedford. Ind. "Agreeably held up," is Henry S. Tous ley's unique way of expressing it when convinced by friends that his idea of haste was a mistaken one and that he must see Portland in a lesure watv "The ride around the eurtfu City of Roses- and the trip up the Willamette and Columbia Rivers Is one of continued wonders and should be seen V'desTre ?o tire world to be appreciated. I desire to thank the Commercial Club for Its gen erous treatment and entertainment while Tn the city, and "M" ttVs to have seen even what I did of the State "vTou's'ley is connected with the Penn "T"g?e T.

A. of the Pen insular & Occidental Steamship Com pany of Jacksonville, Fla., is one of the best-known men in the associa tion, and what he says is of unusual interest. Thanks for Entertainment. "I cannot leave your beautiful city without thanking your people on behalf of Mrs. Jolly and myself for the de lightful entertainment given us by your club, and through you the other participating organizations. The whole series of entertainments was the most complete I have ever experienced, and is only equaled by the universal good fellowship displayed towards our party by your citizens. Such people as we have met are. bound to attain even a greater success In their strides towards prosperity. Success to Portland Is our wish." . "Again I am fortunate enough to visit Portland," Is the beginning of the letter of Charles W. Humphrey, North ern Pacific agent of the C... & E. P. Railway. St. Paul, Minn. "My memory will always be bright of the pleasures given our party by the kind people of your city." - J. G. Everest, G. T. P. A. of the Chi cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, Chicago, said: "The citizens of Portland, and es pecially the members of the Commer cial Club, have been most lavish in their hospitality to the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents, and we leave for our homes with grateful ap preciation of your kindness, and the memory of our stay in the Gem City of the Golden Northwest will ever lin ger and abide with us."
