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. neso ton ngures represent the de- nds for 1918 and are only a part of thV necessary tonnage that should reach this empire and Involve largely Governmental enterprises. 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. sacked and transported to thise cities at a cost of 112 to 815 per ton, whereas under pre-war-conditions or under Gov ernmental construction and . operation of craft, coal can; be delivered to North Pacific Coast points at about 87.60 per ton or less. Aside- from the movement of coal Is the necessity of supplying adequate transportation units for the shipment of fish, furs and mineral prod ucts, etc Confronted by these eonditlons and with an acknowledged poverty of ship ping facilities, may we not find a rem edy In the, further utilization of ship and bridge1 construction that lies acces sible' in the state of Oregon, where a greater output awaita Governmental patronage and stimulation.

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?
