BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. ffffV AD says, "Don't be afraid of not- I mean to work my way across this country and back to Den mark," so says pretty, plucky little Ann Kromann. who has recently come from Tacoma and is on her way to her native land. Ann is the daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Max H. Kromann, of 2618 South Thir teenth street, Tacoma-- Four years ago, in company with her brother, George, she left Denmark for America. - We didn't speak any English, but we had a nne time on our Journey. We ust had piles of fun. And Ann shows dimplea as she smiles over the happy memory. In fact, Ann's smile is almost continuous and it ia very sweet. Now she can speak Eng lish beautifully. There is only a slight Inflection, a fascinating little bit or an accent that denotes her foreign birth. Ann to Ride Across Country. Just as soon as Ann gets to San Francisco she intends to buy a horse to ride on her trip across the country. She says frankly that she can't afford horse now. but she s counting ine days until ner fortune will warrant the keeping of one. In the Puget Sound city and sur rounding territory, every one knows how Ann Kromann can nae. one toves horses and is a remarkable equestri enne. Hurdling fences, riding over the roughest country is just as easy for her as playing bridge is for a society girl. "I could pet any horse," said Ann, "even . an old plug. Movie Work Appeals. "I 'am very anxiouB to get into mo tion-pioture work in California. A girl who isn't afraid to ride any horse or swim any. stream surely ought to stand a chance for a Job in a photo play. "There was a wistful longing in Ann's expression for a minute and then came the rippling laugh and the dimples and she said: - "However, if I can't do that,' I can take care of children, or scrub floors. I'm little, but I'm very Btrong." At present Ann clerking in a glove store here, and says she likes the work and the PorUand ' women, who are kind to her. She learned glove fitting in Tacoma, where she se cured employment in a glove store. PIONEER DIES AGED 72 Tlhonias . TJttiuser, 1850, Passes) at Junction City. JUNCTION CITT, Or., June !0. (Spe cial.) Thomas Edwin Uttinger, a pio neer of this state, died at his home in tills cltv at the age of 73 years. He was L-6orn in Trenton County, Mo., and -moved with his parents to Lebanon. Or., in 1850. He resided there until 1871 when he came to Junction city. He married .Miss Viola Eherwood July 3 1878. He is survived by a wife and two children, lira Nellie Gould, of St- Johns, and Or ville Uttinger, of this city. I , , t 1 am -- I 'A If J P I lr ' t if Mfma 1 ' I i V lv'" 1: -rlr ' - I f ;. 1 I Her early knowledge of English she gleaned from the "funny papers. "It was hard work learning the language at first, but I was determined to master it, and 1 read, read, read.; Bhej said. - Girl la Love With West. "I had graduated from a grammar school in Denmark. I knew all about outdoor sports and I adored horses, but that English was no easy matter. Now America is her country. She loves the West and says she will hasten back to the Pacific Coast when her Journeys are over. - If she has her way and the plans work out she will visit the Panama Canal as well as travel over the United States and Europe. Ann has a desire to see the wonders of the earth and the tropical climes appeal to her fancy to a certain ex tent, but the love of the Northland, a longing to put on skates and skim over the ice will carry her to the Scandinav ian countries, where there la a really, truly frozen Winter. V. W. C. A. Aid on Travels. "The first thing when I get to a town, I go to the Young Women's Christian Association," she said. "I be long to that. They are kind and tell me where to go and what to do. The secretaries here are very sweet. They directed me to the Portland Woman's Union. That's a dandy place for t working girl. The matron is just love ly. Everyone is kind to me." That is Ann Kromann s opinion and 'tis no wonder people are kind to her. for she is a good, bright girl with lots of pluck and she has a way of mak ing good." Early to bed and early to rise, lots of exercise, and no dread of honest work seem to be excellent rules as exemplified in the disposition of sunny Ann Kromann, the little girl who has adopted the West and will work her way back for a visit to the home of her babyhood across the seas.

"You ought to have some of our Min nesota farmers in the Willamette Val ley," says C. S. Crandall. of Owatonna, Minn., who is visiting his daughter, Mrs. George H. Smitton, of East Elehteenth street wife of the assistant general freight agent of the Great Northern Railway. "The principal thing that impressed me in the Willamette valley," says Mr. Crandall, who is a hardware merchant and farmer of many years' experience, "is the lack of development. "The Willamette Valley has better soil and climate than Northern Minne sota, but we produce bigger crops. It is due to the kind of farmers we have. They are enterprising, industrious and nothing discourages them. Farms are not large, but we produce as much on two acres as tbe Willamette Valley does on ten acres. This valley needs some of our old-fashioned Scandinavi ans and Germans to do it" BIG FOUR ISjCOMING HERE Sew York Central In Portland Xot to Handle Fast Freight of Road. On account of the recent segregation Of the New York Central and the Big Four railroad systems, the New York Central offices in Portland will not handle the fast freight business of the Big Four after July 1. It la understood that the Big Four will establish an Independent office in Portland and in other cities - of tbe Northwest. It Is probable that a mem ber of the present New York Central j staff in Portland will be appointed to J handle the Big Four business here. JADES WINCE" An Open Letter to the Ethical Dental Trust of Oregon. In the twenty-five yean that I nv ben a p" ticing dentist I have never been a member of a dental society. I refuse to join the ethical dental trust and have been the object of malice and persecution be cause I will not practice dentistry according to the rules and regulations laid down by this un-American secret cabal. I give to every man the right to prac tice his profession as his oonscienco dictates, and I demand the same right. There are many honorable, broadminded ethical dentists who because of finan cial reasons, or through fear of being branded a "quack," submit to the dictates of the ethical dental trust, but in their own hearts denounce the methods used by the little bunch of ethical highbinders wh In eacbl state assume to be the law and gospel of dentih-try. in Oregon this ethical dental trusf has set up a high court in which it claims the right to try any dentist on the charge of professional treason who does not con form to their rules and regulations. Two months ago I came to Portland and established in the Merchant Trust building, corner of Sixth and "Washington streets, my Kixth rain less Parker office on the Pacific Coast. Every one of my associates here, as in all my other offices, are graduated, licensed dentmts of ezperienoe. I have invested my own money, pay my bills, obey the laws and conduct my business in an honorable, open and above-board manner. I ahk no favors from the ethical dental trust and I deny that they have any right to make any rules by which I shall conduct my business in this state. This ethical dental trust is a close organization in restraint of trade from which the publie is excluded. It meets in secret as a dental society and plot how to have laws passed for the benefit of its members, and how dentista who do not belong can be persecuted by prosecution. Under tho pretext of the public good they are trying to put a high board f enoe around the state of Oregon so they can unmolested drive the peoplo into their rlntchea like sheep to the slaughter. They want a government by dentists for den tists and if they had as much courage as they have villainy they would have a law passed permitting them to draw and quurter every dentist who put an advertisement in a newspaper. They are not only in a conspiracy to rob the public but they want to keep the people in ignorance of tooth hygiene. Because I have raised dentistry above a petty larceny business and will not conform to their secret price list, and am trying to educate the American people how to save their teeth, they call me a "quack." On this principle I have staked a lifetime of labor and have a fortune invest ed. Had I simply desired money I could have retired from practice years ago with a competency, but the American people have been kind to me with liberal patronage and I do not propose to stand by without a protest and be branded a "quack" so the ethical dental trust can force the publie to pay big fees for social position and poor dentistry. I am a graduate dentist, holding a degree from one of the best dental colleges in America. I am licensed to practice in half a dozen states and in Canada. I am the equal in skill, training and experience of any dentist in Oregon. I submit to the fairminded people of Oregon who pay the dentist's bills whether this state shall be the exclusive professional game preserve for an ethical dental trust, or whether the people shall say what the laws of this state shall be. Respectfully, PAINLESS PARKER, DENTIST. ROAD EXTENSION URGED MOVEMENT BEGUN FOB PENINSULA HIGHWAY TO ST. JOHNS.
