14 THE SUNDAY OEEGOXIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 19, 1909. HILL GONE. RUMOR MAKES FORECASTS Announcement of Policy Re i garding Feeder Roads Is Expected Soon. PLANS MAY BE EXTENDED rial torn Travel T'Mst Over Nortjj Bank Road to Spokane Trip of Inspection Only, "Empire Builder" Says. Without making any announcement of Interest locally, -with the exception that the Oregon Trunk Line will be constructed into Central Oregon by the rail of 1910, J. J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern, and party left Portland yes terday over the North Bank en route for fc?t. Paul. They were accompanied s far as Spokane by George B. French, president of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, and J. Russell, --jrenera) superintendent of the same road. Mr. Hill's party tnoltided How mrd Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific, and Darius Miller, first vice Tiresident of the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney. .While in Portland Mr. Hill was not .verse to discussing . general railroad conditions, but he maintained that so far as this state was concerned his visit was one of Inspection only and liad no other significance. "Ordinarily." said Mr. Hill, "I visit the Pacific Coast and look after the Interests of the railroads In which I ;am interested from three to four times ; every year. I have not been In Port land since last June, but this delin quency was due to the fact that press 'of business in the East prevented my coming sooner However, the visit to this city at this time by Mr. Hill and his associ ates. Mr. Elliott and Mr. Miller, is believed to have great significance. While none of the party would admit that the visit was Important, aside from a general inspection tour, there Is more than suspicion that it will be followed soon by a definite announce ment of the plans of the empire-builder to entrench himself further in the Pa cific Northwest. It may be expected reasonably that not many weeks will elapse before Mr. Hill authorizes a definite announce ment of his plans as to the construc tion of feeders, which will enter ne glected sections of Oregon and con I tribute freight and passenger business i to the Oregon Trunk, which, under present plans, will extend only into the interior of She state. eral clerk passenger department, .

The Rygja is the first of the regular Oriental liners to clear from Portland since the Henrik Ibsen got away No vember 2. The Ibsen carried a small cargo of flour and lumber. The ship ment on the Rygja is the first export, foreign, of breadstuffs for the month of December. Close to 6000 tons have been contracted for, for shipment on the Knight of St. George. Since the placing of the Norwegian steamships on the Oriental run In the service of the Portland C Asiatic Steamship Company the schedule of sailings has been sadly demoralized. The burning of the mill of the Port land Flouring Mills Company at Port land sent the steamship Hercules out from Tacoma with flour from Tacoma. On her second trip out the steamship Selja met with an accident in the Ku rushima Straits, and It was found nec essary to dock the vessel at Nagasaki. The Knight of St. George was char tered for a trip in the place of the Selja. ALEXANDER ISEXBERG COMING German Ship Sails From Honolulu for Columbia River In Ballast Bound for the Columbia River In bal last, the German ship Alexander Isen berg. Captain - Behrlng, sailed from Honolulu yesterday. The craft has not been listed for any port on the Pacific and it is thought that she is coming In quest of a charter out with grain. The Alexander Isenberg is a craft of 1699 net tons burden and would be de sirable for wheat at the present time. Exporters are not making outward charters with any great rush at the present time. The only shipper re ported to be In search of a craft just at present is A. Eerg, but he disclaims the charter of the Alexander Isenberg. It was reported yesterday that the British steamship Stephanotis had been chartered for the loading of lumber at Portland by the Pacific Export Lum ber Company. The local firm denied the charter yesterday afternoon, and it is a question whether the craft will come to the rivers or not. CAPTAIN' MACDOSALD LEAVES Master of W. S. Porter Goes East to Bring New Steamship to Coast. Captain Macdonald, master of the eteamship "W. 3. Porter of the Associated Oil fleet, will leave San Francisco De cember 26, for Newport News, Va., for the purpose of bringing the new oil tank steamship, J. W. Chancellor, to the Pa cific. Captain Macdonald will be accom panied by Chief Engineer Pence, who will have charge of the engine-room. It is. expected that the Chancellor will sail for San Francisco about the same time as the Beaver. The J. W. Chancellor is under construc tion at Newport News for the Associated Oil Company and will operate almost ex clusively between Portland and San Fran cisco. She will have less draft than the Porter but will be able to handle a greater amount of oil. She will be equipped with all the modern appliances and will have sufficient power to make a speed of 12 knots under ordinary conditions. This wilt insure a round trip a week to Portland. CAPT. BERMIXGHAM REVERSED Decision in Case or Licensed Mates Is Randed Down by George Uhler.

Dow. general counsel for the association, took up the case at Seattle when he became aware of the fact that unlicensed second mates were being employed. The board which tried the cass sustained Dow, but on appeal by the company Bermingham re-versed the decision of the lower board. Dew ap- mm By lime; Never Fo During our 22 years of active practice in Portland we have handled thousands of patients, and if they need work again they always return to this office. This is the best indorsement that our work can receive.

Yon can't set better Dental Work done anj-where. There axe many kinds and forms of Dental Bridge Work, each of which has specialized merit. We produce in single-piece castings any bridge of gold or gold and porcelain or gold and platinum combined. We also make bridges of platinum and porcelain, as the case in hand may require. We manufacture backs for removable bridge facings, we color and shape artificial enamel for bridges, and we contour and build teeth to conform to the peculiar needs of any given case. Bridge work, to be right in every detail and possess the quality of permanence, must be exact in its mechanical construction, so that the stress of mastication, when applied, will fall equally upon all the anchor teeth or abutments. Failures in bridge work are due to unsanitary construction, to actual "don't care" carelessness or to honest ignorance. MAKING ARTIFICIAL TEETH is a leading feature of our business, and we believe it cannot be sur passed in the point of its completeness. We operate our own laboratory, and as making artificial teeth is a specialty in dentistry, we are in a position to make this offer and guarantee saisfaction. Gurantee Means All It Says The Wise Dental Co. is an Oregon corporation, capitalized at $50,000, doing business strictly on business principles and according to law. We keep a strict record of all our work and by whom done. These records can always be referred to by any one interested, at any time, now or in the future. Our aim is to make the company perpetual, and those having a guarantee from this concern can have the assurance that it will be made good at any time.
