of Grants Pass who have been largely
instrumental In prosecuting the new
enterprise.
Pine Lumber Abounds
The district around Grants Pass Is
noted lor its quality of pine lumber.
?!Unois and some of the lT
leys in this district make up about
60 000 acres of almost level land most
of which, however, is heavily timbered

the last &u years anu V
enough In sight to keep them going for
another 100 years. This entire territory
is heavily timbered. Here are the most
extensively developed copper properties
along the route. Two miles from Wal
do is the Takilma Smelter, and mines
which have been In operation for sev
eral years.
The famous Josephine Caves are near
the route and are expected to attract
an enormous passenger traffic.
Copper and Timber Promising.
The California boundary Is about six
miles from Waldo, and for most of this
distance the route of the railway Is
along Elk Creek and through a copper
district possessing an unusually promis
ing outlook.
At no point along the line from
Grants Pass to the California boundary
is there a better showing of timber.
The route of the railway from the
California line is along the middle
fork of the Smith River, and traverses
the same extensive timber belt as that
from Waldo to the line. All this ter
ritory Is rich, promising copper prop
erties, development of which will be
Immediately commenced upon comple
tion of this road. On the west is the
great Preston Peak, which is honey
combed with rich copper prospects,
and at this point a large tonnage of
copper ore Is awaiting rail transpor
tation. The route for the succeeding
30 miles to Gasquet station is along the
pmith River, and all heavily timbered.
Smith River and Its tributaries drain
the entire country north and south.
Timber Wealth Continues.
This same timbered territory con
tinues to within about 15 miles from
Crescent City, at which point the
lamous redwood belt is entered.
Conservative estimates of the red
wood timber tributary to the proposed
road show 15.000.000.000 feet. In Del
Torte County there are 151.875 acres of
redwood timber averaging over 75.000
feet per acre.

My Aeswer i the Deetal Trast
Inist Prices Cut One-Half
Beginning Tomorrow, April 1 2
PAINLESS PARKER DENTISTRY
Less Than Trust Dentistry
I am going to expose the extortioa practiced on the people of Oregon by the Dental
Trust. If this Trust can raise a slush fund of $6000 every month with which to carry on
a campaign against Painless Parker, I am. going to cut off its i source of pply, hich
is in the pockets of the people, by cutting in half the price of dentistry, and thereby
stop, if possible, the contributions to this slush fund.
I can do high-class, painless dentistry at half Trust prices and make money. As long as
this Tran raise money by charging two prices for what it sells the public, it can
afford to spend part of that money to fight Painless Parker.
I propose to protect myself by depriving the Trust of its sinews of war. At the same
time I will give every man, woman and child in Oregon the opportunity to get my dentistry
at 50 plr cfnt lLs than they have been forced to pay heretofore for old-style, inferior
Trust service "
Out of every dollar spent by the people of Oregon for Trust Dentistry, a certain pro
portion goes to keep up this Trust, so it can control the dental business in this state.
One way of controlling dentistry here has been to exterminate professionally any
dentist who might give the Trust hard competition.
I know how to compete with this Ethical Combine. That way is to give the public
better dentistry at less money. . ,
Hundreds of Oregon people who have bought my dentistry since I opened my Portland
office a year ago know my dentistry is superior to any ever obtained of Trust dentists at
twice my fees
I can buy high-grade dental material, except 22k gold, cheaper than Trust dentists,
because I buy it in large quantities for all my offices, including my Portland office. I can
give better service because of my painless methods.
Every one of my associated dentists in my Portland office are fully the equal of any
Trust dentist in the state, because all of them have been licensed to practice here by the
Trust's own hand-picked board of dental examiners. If an exammation before the Trust s
board is what the Trust claims it to be, then every dentist associated yfo0
land office is fully the equal in skill, training and education of any dentist belonging to the
Dental Combine. , .
If I can do Painless Parker dentistry at half the prices charged by members of the
Trust, and make money, then certainly it is nothing short of highway robbery of the public
pocketbook for Trust dentists to charge 100 per cent more for Trust dentistry.
I came to Portland to give the public a square deal in dentistry. And I know howto do
it I intend to give this Trust a run of competition so that when I get through it wiD not
be able to raise $6000 a month, or any other sum, for a slush fund fhwK
Painless Parker. If fur rugs are selling at 13 cents a gross the Trust will not be able to
buy one hair.
