That looks like an advertise ment of a dental quack, but it is not. The patient must be a Green wlchlte, a child, and he or she must present himself or herself at the rooms of the United Workers on certain days of the week to have the work done. Tho United Workers, an organ ization composed mostly of wealthy people, have Interested, the dentists in their work among the poor to the extent that they have offered to care for the poor children's teeth. The work Is intended to be done free and the 10 cents a tooth is charged, in order that the children and the parents may not feel that they are the recipients of charity.

CITY LIKES PAVEMENT. Eighteen Blocks Laid In Roseburg. Mile and Half Moie Asked. ROSEBURG, Ore., Nov. 2G. So satisfactory has Roseburg's 18 blocks of new bitulithlc pavement proved that petitions are benlg circulated for $40,000 more bonds, to be used for more pavement. This year $30, 000 In bonds were Issued, and as, under tho present system, tho city pays half the cost and tho abutting property-owners tho other half, the $35,000 issue meant an expenditure of twice that amount for paving. The present petitions ask tho City Council to call a special election for voting tho $40,000 bonds. This means about a mile and a half of new pavement, giving Roseburg al together over two miles of flnoly paved streets, BOURNE TO NAME RIDDLE. Southern Oregon Mnn to Get Land Office Appointment.

Hot or cold, tho apple dumplings, brow,n sugar and rich cream must be on the table or Horace Morso i3 angry. So accustomed has Morse be- come to his favorite food that ho never goes away from homo and will not permit his wife to stay more than over night, and she cannot leave until there is an ample supply of apple dump- lings to last tho old man until she returns. Mrs. Morse possibly has bak- ed more apple dumplings than any other woman, for she says that as regularly as daylight comes she shoves a pan of monster dumplings Into tho oven for Horace. Morso began eating apple dumplings because of stomach trouble. Ho eats no meat, bread and no vegetables, with the exception of radishes. E HIS JO "Klondyke" Elliott Reported to Be Seeking the Bail He , Once Refused. "Klondyke" Elliott, tho Basten dorf beach miner who insisted on being a martyr and going to Jail in stead of giving ball, was evidently tired of bis decision and decided that being a martyr Is not asniboasitls to read about the heroic stunts of the boys in tho days of old. While he has not publicly announced his change o? heart or mln'd, Justice Pennock is convinced thai a couple of weeks in tho coifnty Jail have ef fected the change. This morning, Dan Campbell, ari old resident of tho Bay who has known "Klondyke" for many years, appeared b6foro Justice Pennock and wanted to fdrnlsh a bond for ''Klondykfc's" appearance before the grand Jury two weeks hence. Justice Pennock was willing but informed Mr. Campbell that tho law required two property owners to sign such a bond. Mr. Campbell went out to get tho second ono and will probably provldo tho necessary bond this afternoon. "Klondyko" Is charged by John Bastendorf with, assault with Intent to do great bodily injury, tho com plainant alleging that "Klondyko" shot at him whilo ho and his men were hauling away lumber of tho wrecked Marconi. "Klondyko" at tho preliminary hearing insisted tho lumber belonged to him, having washed up as driftwood on his claim. When tho court found that ho would havo to answer to tho grand Jury for shooting at Bastendorf, ho declared ho would bo a martyr and would go to Jail Instead of gWInfe bail, al though several of his friends offered at tho tlmo to furnish tho necessary bond.

A landslide that almost destroyed tho house and barn of E. N. Harry Sltkum and endangered the occu pants, occurred early this week. News of the slide was brought in last evening by Max Timmerman and E. N. Barzee who were returning from Roseburg and who were at tho Harry homo at the time of the dis aster. All that saved the place and prob ably tho occupants was the fact that tho worst of the slide struck about midway between tho house and the barn, Just the edges of the slldo striking tho house and barn. Tho front door of tho Harry homo was broken in by it and between three and four feet of mud struck the barn, compelling the men to dig out tho horses and cattle. The wagon in which Messrs.
