there
la a craay man going to kill
'everyone here." la the alarming
report received over the telephone at
tha police headquarters.
Instantly, not one but a half dosen
tnea respond eagerly to the beckon of
the captain, who has received the mes
sage. Soma of them are oft duty, but
It matters not to them. The life and
property of reeldenta of tha city are
la danger and the policeman does not
think of himself. It Is duty first.
This happens frequently In the
"routine of the week at the headquar
ters. There are shooting affairs, men
crarr drunk, running rampant in some
section of lbs rlty: there are Area At
times there are rloia and battlea to
death between factions. These are only
a email part of the dangers faced every
day by the men who petrol Portlands
streets to protect life and property.
Dangerous men are coming to the
city constantly. They Include deeper
ate htghwaYmen. thus and men to
whom life counts nothing. They would
just as quickly kill a man as to eat
If that man was Interfering with them
In the work at hand. Many times In
the last few years, policemen bava
been shot divn by desperate men. On
tne police force.- at present, there are
more than a score of men who carry
scars obtained in conflict with desper
ate characters. They received their
woanls while performing their dnty
and thought nothing of It. For weeks
and. possibly for months, they lay In
hospitals or at home suffering tor
tures, but the general public thought
nothing of It because they were police
men and were doing their duty.
Hut what appreciation does the com
munity show these men? None whet
ever. When they are alrk or Injured,
their pay ceases and for the weeks and
months they are off duty they receive
nothing.
rurlng such periods their expenses
era greatest. There are doctor bills
and numeroue other expenses added to
tha dally account and all thla tlma tha
money balance Is going the other way.
Tba generoua public alwaya eager
that tha policeman do bla duty and the
rat to complain If anything goes
wrong, forgeta the nnfortunate police
snan and few seldom so far aa to
Inquire about hla healtb.
la tha last few years, half a handred
saesi of the retire Iepertmenl have
been Injured and the manner In which
they received their Injuries haa been
most varied. Srae have fought duels
with highwaymen: soma have been shot
r crasy men and robbers; some were
hurt at tires or In going to them: some
were Injured while assisting others.
All these Injuries came In the line of
duty and the reward was nothing.
In the darkness of the night, death
Is larking for them. In the crowded
streets of the business district, danger
Is waiting. Every hour of tha day has
I j hidden darsers. It la not always
a shooting sffalr there are scores of
ways In which they are hurt and ac
rldenta often come when least ex
pected. H. A. Circle wee riding to an oil fire
when hla horee tr".ppel on a new cross
walk. Ne was Injured severely.
Captain Moore was attempting, with
others, to quell a riot a few yeara ago
In the streetcsr strike. He wss pounced
npoa br a crowd of sinkers and
sympathisers and badly beaten.
J. W. O'Brien vu run over by aa
automobile. Hla leg waa broken.
rtrolma Johnson was burned badly
Ja rescuing men from a burning boat.
These are only a few Illustrations
of the manner in which Injury Is re
ceived. And here Is whst the policeman gets
lie worka seven daya every week and
ta allowed only 14 days a year for vaca
tion. Hla salsry Is IS a month tha
frst year. I a month tha second, and
ll a month af'er tha third year.
When etck or eft duty, aa the result
of aay Injury, he la allowed only ona
week's pay and aft-r that hla pay
stops. Some officers nave been oft
duty for months ss the result of In
juries and were forced to d.-pend en
tirely eipoB their own thrift for a
living.
Msny times policemen are forced to
work overtime. Iurlng events when
there are treat crowds la like city and
''iXIr ;w
efit of the visitors. Bo far as the pupils
themselves are concerned, everything
will be quiet, stillness will relgn and
there will be no music, as there usually
Is at commencement ceremonies In all
other Institutions.
The graduatea this year are: Miss
Amelia Bergerson. of Spokane: Arthur
Classen, of Taroma: Carl Oarrlson. of
Camano; Miss Bessie Magulre. of Port
Angeles: Miss Elsie Peterson, of Se
attle: John Skoglund. of Edgewood:
Frank Thompson, of Granger, and Miss
Lrficretla Taylor, of Curtis, all from
Washington.
All win be self-supporting and tha
occupations and manual training they
have received here are: Classen Is a
harnessmaker and carpenter: Garrison
la a simplex operator and printer;
Thompson Is a woodworker, carpenter
crooks are most numerous: during
labor troubles and other conditions
that disturb the uaual routine of city af
faire, the men are frequently forced to
work many hours overtime.
Every officer must appear In court R
testify against the person whom he ar
rests. This must of necessity come In
rhe hours when he is off duty, espe
cially In the case of tha night relief.
They are not paid for overtime, and the
hours they are forced to spend in court
are without recompense.
The life of a policeman Is not one of
ease and comfort. He Is expected to
notice all breaches of the peace when
he is off duty, and many times Is called
to take a hand In neighborhood rom-a
and other troubles when hla time Is sup
posed to belong to himself and hla fam
ily. For the. June election a bill la on the
ballot of particular Interest to police
men. It provides for a pension for po
licemen when they are airk ir the re
sult of Injuries while performing their
duty. It providee for their maintenance
and the aupport or their fnmtllea In
event they are hurt and the support of
their families If they sre killed.
Several policemen have been killed
while attempting to arrest desperate
men. From the day of their death their
families are cut off from all Income as
far aa they are concerned. The public
knows that the patrolman has been
killed, but It forgets those dependent
upon him. His wife and children are
no longer protected. All the public
thinks Is thst another policeman has
gone and there are others to take his
place.
Th new bill, designated on the TjaMot
as No. l. provides for the protection
of thoe dependent upon policemen killed
In the performance, of their duty. It is
Juat and right. It Is a consideration due
the pien who risk their lives every day
that we may be safe.
Slur Eastern cities have adopted the
law. They protect the families of police
men killed and they pay the men for

The list of policemen who bava been
killed and Injured In this city la a long
one. It Includes nearly every conceiv
able condition under which a man can
be injured. All happened In the course
of duty and In auch condltiona as would
have reflecetd against the courage of
the policemen had they refused to do
their duty. As a matter of fact, these
men 'would have been discharged had
they failed, but the public only aeea the
plain fact that men were maimed and
lost their lives In the performance of
duty.

able to report on duty until January i.
1911.
These are given as illustrations or the
dangers to which these men are sub
jected every hour of the day and it ia all
in the performance of their sworn duty
to the nubile. Wien these men face
dangers; when they are forced to take
their lives In their hands, they cannot
think of home or those dependent upon
them. If they falter the public will
brand them aa cowards.
Bat Small Levy Asked.
The police pension bill, numbered 10
in the ballot for the election in June,
provides for the relief of those who are
Injured on duty and for the protection
of those who are depending upon them
In event of violent death. The fund is
not to come entirely from the tax levy.
aa there Is already a fund of several
thousand dollars for the purpose In con
junction with the fire relief fund.
Besides this, the money conectea tor
fines of policemen snd other money de
rived from any possible neglect of duty
Is to be turned Into tha fund. Every
patrolman and officer employed for the
public safety of the city Is to be aa-
sessed a certain percentage of bis sal
ary for the fund.
All the public is asked to do ia to levy
a tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent until
a fund has been raised sufficient to pro
vide the pensions.

Corvallls, June 1. (Special.) The
1812 Orange, a class publication, edited
and published by the Junior class, made
ita appearance on the campus yesterday
In form and substance much more elab
orate than any previous publication of
its kind.
The new annual, which la the fifth
published by the Junior class at this
college, appears in rlch: full leather,
with decorations In gilt. The publica
tion contains more than 400 pages, and
is made especially attractive by the
large number of beautiful outs which
It contains. Pictures of pretty spots
on the college campus and the sur
rounding country appear In great num
ber throughout the publication. This
'a a new feature which haa added great
ly to the popularity of the book.
Major McAlexander Honored.
The lunlore have dedicated their vol
ume to Major U. O. McAlexander, com
mandant of the college regiment lor

Is a photograph of the Major. This
la followed by a drawing entitled Alma
Mater. A few pages are devoted to a
description of tbe college and a record
of ts growth. President W. J. Kerr is
srlven a special wrlteup. Tne portion
of the book devoted to the faculty is
much smaller than has been tbe cus
tom In the past. Only the photographs
of the deans of the various schools ap
pear in the publication. The great bulk
of the book la devoted to student activ
ities.
The military department Is given 38
pages, which Include descriptions or
the activltlea in this line and also pho
tographs of the officers of the various
companies.
Individual photographs or tne sen
iors, In cap and gown, with a record
of their work during their college
course, takes up a large portion of the
book. This ia followed by photographs
of tha members of the other three
classes. Athletics Well Illustrated.
The next section of the book Is de
voted to athletics. Here appear photo
graphs of the star performers in this
division of the work and views of many
of the athletea in action. The atudenta
taking part in oratory and debate are
given special attention in tne sections
which review the forensic events of the
past two yeara.
The next section ia devoted to liter
ary selections, some of which are of
very high merit. The literary societies,

The cdllege publications come in for
a large amount of attention and those
students who have been active along
this line are given considerable promi
nence In the way of photographs and
editorial comment. Following this,
space is given to the fraternities, the
musical organizations and, finally, a
section Is devoted to Jokes and car
toons, of which a number of the mem
bers of the faculty and many of the
prominent students are made the vic
tims. Personnel of Staff.
The great amount of work required
for the publication of this book was
done by a committee of the Junior class
headed by Shamus O. McFadden, of

Alveolar Dentistry
Does Away tntirely With Plates and Bridge Work
Mental Meanderings
Nature plays no favoritea and neither
does God.
The only religion that rings true is
the religion you make for yourself.
If you think you possess a value
greater than the world recognizee, it is
aafe to presume you are mistaken.
There are few great men. Simply
because it takes a dense background
of fools to set them off.
The knowledge you get out of knocks
is the knowledge that lifts you above
the "push." If you think you can
change values by changing the labels,
you will never rank with such think
ers as Darwin and Huxley. The man
who la intent on his Job generally fig
ures at the end of the season among
those who hit above .300.
To become a philosopher, read much,
remember well and loaf. But to be
come a top-notcher In dentistry, one
must think and work.
It is well to put some trust in God;
but the more you put in yourself, the
higher will the world rate you, includ
ing both Bradstreet and Dun.
Our Alveolar teeth are the most beau
tiful and natural looking teeth imagin
able. They cannot be told from nature's
product. Vft can imitate nature so
nearly that we defy any one, dentists
or laymen, to tell them from the most
perfect natural teeth. Each tooth is
set In its own eocket, separate and
distinct, spaced like natural teeth
where beet to do so (use your tooth
pick or brush same as with natural
teeth), lapped In other places. The
cusps occlude with the opposing teeth,
and In some cases we put them In
crooked purposely to match and occlude
with your other natural teeth. The
work is so remarkable and so perfect
that we cannot do it Justice by a writ
ten description, nor could you believe
It. It sounds too good to be true, but
we can show you samples, counter
parts of the work: let you see for your
self what it is. There are 12 Alveolar
Dental Co. offices in the West. About
110,000 people In the United States are
wearing Alveolar teeth. About eO.000
were supplied by the Alveolar Dental
Co. About 8000 people of this city and
state were equipped In this office; 99
per cent of these. If not all, will tell
you that they are delighted and that
It's the best investment that they ever
made, if asked. We will gladly refer
you to as many as you care to sea.

In Portland the past week securing
advertisements for a directory which

Price vs. Quality
There is a large percentage of peo
ple who know that the very best Is the
cheapest in most things. There Is a
small per cent of people who buy the
best. The majority will not, on ac
count o'f the higher cost. But there
are enough who are willing to buy the
best and who would have nothing but
the best In dentistry, we are glad to
state, to keep us busy. A word to the
wise is sufficient. Take this advice
from us: In dentistry, buy the best.
Alveolar Teeth Where Biidsrework Is
Impossible.
If only your front teeth are left, say
three or four or more, we can replace
all those that have been lost on both
sides, clear back, with perfect Alveolar
teeth, whilst bridgework would be im
possible even If you had eight or ten
front teeth to tie to. If you have only
two back teeth on each side, say mo
lars, we can supply all the front teeth
that are missing with beautiful, serv-
l4hle. lifelike Alveolar teeth. This
could not possibly be done by the .1
bridge route. And where brldgework
le possible there Is no comparison Be
tween the two. A very large percent
age of our work Is taking out bridge
work put In by supposedly high-class
dentists and replacing it with the beau
tiful and artistic Alveolar teeth. And,
unlike brldgework In another respect,
it is practically painless. No boring or
cutting into the gums, nothing to be
dreaded. Now, then, prices being equal,
which would you choose?
Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis
ease given up by other dentiets as in
curable, is another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful
statement to make, but we can do any
thing that is possible In dentistry, and
what we do is always of the very
highest class. Our booklets, Alveolar
Dentistry, are free. . Write for one if
you cannot call. We have samples of
our work to show at all times and very
