OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
lngton, Jan. 2. In a letter to Chair
man Hurley, of the Shipping Board,
Senator McNary calls attention to the
Immediate need for wooden ships, dur
ing the coming season, to handle the
trade of Alaska; not only the ordinary
commerce, but supplies which the Gov
ernment must , ship to Anchorage for
the construction of the Government
railroad. He suggests that this op
portunity affords further Justification
for building wood ships on tbe Pacific
Coast and if not ships, then barges
suitable to the particular trade. - The
Senator s letter follows
"My dear Mr. Hurley: Close in asso
elation with the Government's ship
building programme in the Pacific
Northwest is the vital problem of car
ing for the transportation needs of
Alaska. Without adequate facilities
for conveying the necessary railroad
equipment and provisions the develop
ment of Alaska must falter; without
adequate facilities' for the removal and
conveyance of its products Alaska will
fail to perform Its proper function in
this conflict.
Alaskan Railroad Uaa Needs.
"The Alaskan railroad, . now ap
proaching completion between Anchor
age and the coal fields of Matanuska.
a distance of 75 miles, will require
cartage facilities by water for approx
imately 25,000 tons of rails, ties, lum
ber, powder and miscellaneous articles,
while the cities of Anchorage and Sew
ard will invite for consumption 15.000
tons of imported foodstuffs and articles
of manufacture, 8000 tons of materials
will be needed for the construction of
the railroad between Matanuska Junc
tion and Fairbanks and at least 12,000
tons of merchandise will be required
by the citizens of this municipality.

Coal Available for Shipment.
"In all probability 6000 tons of
blacksmith coal will be .mined and
made available for shipment from An
chorage to Pacific Coast ports in 1918
and I am Informed this grade of coal
now sells at Portland, Astoria and Seat
tle for 820 to 125 tier ton. Under pres-
ent conditions this coal can be mined.

at a cost of 112 to 815 per ton, whereas
under pre-war-conditions or under Gov

of craft, coal can; be delivered to North

ton or less. Aside- from the movement
of coal Is the necessity of supplying
adequate transportation units for the

Bandon Residents to Urge Govern
ment to Make Use of Plant. .
MARSHFIELD, Or., Jan. 26. (Spe
cial.) Business interests and progres
sive men at Bandon are preparing to
call the attention of the Government
to the fact that a sawmill, capable of
turning out 70,000 feet of lumber dally,
is lying Idle within two miles of Ban
don. whichr-according to urgent needs
of the Government, should be engaged
lu sawing airplane stock. . The mill has
been shut down for the past, three or
four years. It Is the propery of the
Robert Dollar Company, which ob
tained It. through foreclosure proceed
ings and promptly suspended opera
tions. The mill was constructed seven
or eight years ago and is known as
the Lyons-Johnson mill. It Is situated
on deep water and convenient to the
best spruce in the county.
If started at the Instance of the
Government the mill could be supplied
with logs from the Boutin tract, and
the rafts would be floated down the
river. The output would be routed
probably, as other spruce is being sent
from the Bandon sawmilus, up the
river to Cedar Point and there trans
ferred to the Southern Pacific Railway.

BE SURE TO READ THIS:
From the Atlantic to .the Pa
cific Ethical Dental Societies and
Ethical Magazines and Journals
continuing high prices, admitting
of date unfair and un-American,
and needs modernizing. They even admit now that the Advertising
Dentist is human perhaps their equal and that Advertising oi
itself is NOT WRONG.
DR. H. C. SEXTON, SHELBYVILLE, IND, in a recent issue of
the DENTAL SUMMARY, says to his Ethical Brethren:
We know that bad teeth mean sickness, disease and death. We
know that 80 ner cent of school children have Caries teeth. We point
out the forrihle truths we create a demand for Dentistry and
what have we done to supply this demand? I'll tell you what we've
done we HAVE INCREASED OUR FEES we have done scarcely
anything else. We have introduced many new appliances into prac
tice and almost invariably the strongest plea that is made for them is
that we can get more money from our patient.
AND LISTEN TO THIS:
"Is it not useless cruelty to educate (the public) to the need of
Dental Work and then deny it to them on account of expense? WE
RIDICULE THE SO-CALLED 'QUACKS' FOR EXTRACTING
TEETH FOR TWENTY-FIVE CENTS AND FOR MAKING A RUB
BER PLATE FOR $5; BUT I WILL TELL YOU MANY A POOR
MAN, AND MANY A POOR MAN'S FAMILY, HAS HAD CAUSE
TO BLESS THE SO-CALLED QUACK OFFICE. It has enabled him
to have Dental work done it has made his children comfortable and
healthy, YET LEFT HIM HIS SELF-RESPECT, BECAUSE HE HAS
NOT BEEN AN OBJECT OF CHARITY.
.In the long list of Dental operations the one that is doing the
most good for suffering humanity and making the most money for
Dentists today IS THE ONE-DOLLAR AMALGAM FILLING. It is
a blessing to mankind, and a greater blessing to childhood."
Dr. Sexton concludes his long and able article by saying:
"l have heard many papers read suggesting how we could raise
our fees I have not heard one read suggesting means to reach the
suffering poor and help them. We meet chiefly to talk about raising
our fees to tell what we get for operations and complain because we
do not get more. When a profession puts all its endeavors to squeez
ing the most money it can get out of its patients in the least possible
time it becomes unworthy of the name of profession and puts itself
on a par with pawnbrokers." (I personally apologize to the pawn
brokers.) One Dentists mentioned by Dr. Sexton stated he made $25 per
working hour. If he worked ten hours a day that is 5250 a day
$7500 a month, $90,000 a year. Do you think he EARNS IT? Do
you wonder the Profession that puts the dollar sign ahead of the
golden rule objects to the Advertising Dentist's giving the public low
prices?
REMEMBER, anyone can cut prices, but it takes BRAINS to turn
out better work.
