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. PTrthe Harriman
J..VwItU.. Wash., was prominent
in the entertainment of the "socle,
tlon's convention in that city. As
Seattle representatives we surely ap
geattie repre Portland men
securing the convention , 1 : the Amer-
lean Association 01 imv....o
ger Agents for Seattle, which we con
sider will benefit both cities
Equally complimentary Is the letter
of H A. Bonn, N. W. P. A. Nickel Plate
Road who savs "Portland never does
Things by halves. I entertainment of
the passenger representatives will ever
be gratefully remembered.
F?ank M. Jolly. T. P. 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."
