- Rich agriculturally, heavily timbered In
the mountain sections, with her broad
acres stretching from the foothills of
the coast range- to the snow-capped
peaks of the Cascade mountains, the
county contains almost as mucu uuBDie
land as any other county In, the state.
Her crops are abundant and varied and
a source of untold wealth to those who
.depend upon them for their livelihood.
. , In the Cascade range mining Is an
ever-Increasing Industry and some
good paying leads of gold, silver, cop-
- ner and coal have been found.
; There are great Iron deposits In the
neighborhood of Oswego and in au pror-

A number of rivers traverse ' the
county and almost every one of them
furnishes good water power which will
in time attract manufacturing interests
from Eastern states to her borders.
Principal among them are' the Clack

Eaport From outhera Oregon County
hows Harked Advancement. :
. Roaeburg, Or., Dec 17. JDougtas county
has good reasons tojse satisfied with Its
growth and progress during 1903. At least
1,600 persons have been added to Its ener
getic population and a marked. Impetus
is visible along au lines of industry. . uur
big this year the attention of Eastern
capitalists was drawn toward the ooun
ty's vaBt area of marketable timber, of
which there Is no- finer In the world and
thus the first Important step toward the
development of this great resource haa
been signalised. Much nas been done by
these easterners In the' way of making
preparations for establishing sawmills In
the county next year, while a few have
already built and begun operations.
One firm,, the P. Johnson Lumber com
pany, has established a sawmill six
miles from Myrtle Creek and built a
flume to the town, At present they are
engaged In building a planing mill at
Myrtle Creek and later a spur will be
constructed to the Southern Pacific rail
road line, one-half mile distant While
local capital Is also interested in this
company, the moving spirits in the en
terprise are experienced sawmill men
from Erie, Pa. Before three more years
elapse they will have as many more
mills in operation.
Six miles from Toncalla another large
sawmill Is nearly ready for business. It
is being built Jointly by local and eastern
capitalists headed by John K. Skelly, a
prominent banker and merchant oi mc
keespprt Pa. Most of the machinery has
been lastalled. Connections will be made
with the Southern Pacific railroad line at
Drain by means of a logging railway.
A still greater enterprise In the way of
sawmllllng is under way at Winchester,
on the Southern Pacifle railroad, five
miles north of here, where two mills, to
cost $250,000, are to be erected within the
next year by Chicago and Ohio capital
ists, whose agent here is Fred J. Blake
ley of Toledo, O. This company has been
granted a franchise to the North Umpqua
river to boom timber, which they will do
on a big scale aa the stream Is adjacent
to an Immense timber belt Already the
company has completed the work of
blasting out the obstructions In. the
stream. ,
Saveral small sawmills were erected
during the year at various places in the
county and these will be- gradually en
larged, as business demands It -
Other establishments which have been
built this, year are a box factoryand
creamery at Toncalla and two prune
packing houses ' at Roseburg.. A large
lumber yard was also put In here and
this with the two other yards here were.

burg inside, of nine months.
While vlJouglas county did not fare very
well this year in Ha grain output, - it
maintained its reputation as the great
est poultry and prune-raising, county in
Oregon. A revenue of $37,000 was realised
from the Thanksgiving shipments of tur
keys alone nearly two-thirds of which
amount went to Oakland, the banner pro
duce raising point In the northwest
About $170,000 was realised from prunes,,
Mines in Douglas county are like Its
timber bodies undeveloped- resources of

of them are dividend payers. Develop
ment work progresses steadily and now
and then the report of a rich strike comes
to the public ear. On one of the finest

Of enduring qualities the qualities' that
count and are' the basis of lasting and

void of boom and reckless speculation.
Everybody, the farmer, the machinist,
the miner,- the laborer, feels no anxiety
as to the variation in the price of stocks.
Everyone is on bis own feet. When he
takes another step he knows exactly
where it IS going to fall, and Is Sure of
his safety.

la perhaps the largest Industrial institu
tion in the county. Only recently out of
the, courts,. Its management Is up to Its
ears In business getting ready to ship
ore to the smelter, Several shipments
have already been made,-but the eoRV
pany will operate on a larger scale in
the coming spring.
In November a number of cinnabar diS'
coverles near Howard were made. These
discoveries are varied, some of them val
uable ones, but for the most part they
are of minor Importance, according to
surface Indications. Active prospecting
work is on now, and startling develop
ments will be recorded there in a few
months. The country, is almost entirely
covered by" locators wh6'seenthuslasm
does not run away with their Judgment
and who know they have something
worth having.
But by . far the most important In
dustry in Crook county today Is the
reclamation work on the desert south
and west of Prlnevllle. The most work
has been done and more money expended
on desert reclamation In 1903 than In
any other development. Three companies
operating on the Deschutes are tne rac
tors in this work, and nothing has been
permitted to Interfere or hamper the
progress of reclamation
The, Deschutes Reclamation and Irrl
ration company, financed by local cap
ltal entirely, has recently completed
necessary repairs on Us canal and water

reclaiming 87,000 acres represents a cap

Its sun Is on high, shining brightly, and
In a year or two its work will be finished

There Is much activity in Crook

are in operation, one on Trout creek, one
by the P. D. B. Co., at Bend, one at
Mowry and one by the Deschutes Lum

A Secret of Dentistry
T Not every one knows that 'thamaterTaTThat enters Into 'the composition of
dental plates, except the flexible flesh-colored ones, costs but Uttle, and may be
bought by one dentist about as cheaply as by another,. IT 18 NOT THE
MATERIAL that records tho value of a dental plate. It is the trained hand
that fashions that plate into a symmetrical instrument that JP?
mouth that constructs a plate that does not "pinch" the gums, hurt the
roof of the mouth or crack when pressure comes .upon it. . .ft.
The dentist, too, must have the eye and discernment of a painter tp match
the plate to the contour and complexion of the wearer a face. A plate that
would admirably become one person would appear monstrous or freakish in
another's mouth, and so on through the whole procejis of dentistry.
In other words, a dantlst to do right workT MUST know his business. He
must, too" be a man of strict integrity, faithfully-performing his every aree
mZt to the LAST LETTER. He must be honest with his P&?Wt5

Flerible Flesh Colored Plates
We make a plate that would require the eye of an expert
and close sorutln to detect it from the natural mouth.
The composition sd nearly resembles the flesh that micro
scopical examlnatl6n would be necessary to reveal the dlrler
nce. These plates will last a lifetime. There Is absolutely
no wear out to them. They do not crack or warp, and never
will pinch or hurt the mouth. The cost at ou parlors Is $lo
per plate, and each is warranted to the fullest extent There
are no better plates made in the world. -There cannot be any
improvement upon them. They are Allnallty snd hand

TOOTH CARPENTERS
From Saturday's Journal. ,
-Tooth Carpenter" was the exceedingly offensive cognomen given to some
dentists many years ago. It was applied to the unskilled ones those fellows
who "went" for a patient's mouth much as a wood sawyer for a pita of cord
wood. They knew nothing of the daintiness of dentistry. They had no com
prehension of the delicacy of the work or the one burning desire of the patron
to have the mouth appear to the best advantage. The sole controlling ambition
of these men was to make something that would be accepted and paid for. The
money once transferred to their pockets, the discontent of the patient cut no
figure. That same practice is in vogue today to a certain extent Those who
advertise "cheap" dentistry are bound to follow that practice. Of course, there
is a broad chasm between 'cheap" dentistry and "good" dentistry at mpst
.moderate prices. For example, Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil Is intended
to be sold at II per bottle. Many druggists sell this remedy at that price,
whtle some Portland pharmacists charge only 85 cents for the identical same
medicine. The latter figure does not brand It aa a "cheap" emulsion because oiie
dealer Is satisfied with a less profit than another. For this reason our GOOD
dentistry and PERFECT, at moderate rost. ought not to be confounded .with
tho production of the avaricious practitioner denominated a "carpenter' be
cause his charges are small and his work without merit. ' Cheap" dentistry and
"cheap" dentists are an abomination to those who employ them. Bad dental
work, like a worthless watch, is a despicable aggravation. None of this can
be had of us. We will do GOOD work. at moderate prices, but we will not Uo
poor work at any price at all. Some new ideas will be advanced tomorrow. It
will pay to keep track of this new feature of The Journal.

The Xost Perfect Crown
The White Crowns
The White Gold Crowns were Invented and patented by
our Dr. L. L Whlto. They have gained such wide renown
that they have become the staple with all dentists throughout
America. There are millions of them made and used each,
year. In the highest-priced offices-no other Crown is now em
ployed. The gold is 22-karat fine, and the tenacity of the
clasp is such that they never lose their clinging qualities
and hence do not drop off and are, therefore, never lost.
"Cheap" Crowns are unworthy a place In any mouth. They
are made of a composition that not- only does not stand the
test of wear, but that Is liable to poison the flesh, reminding,
one of a salivated mouth. Tho composition turns black, or
becomes so discolored that It will have the appearance of a
fun-metal watch case. No one wants that sort of stuff,
t s no good. In THIS case, for sure, it certainly will be
found that "The best is the cheapest." - . '
