crop of wheat from Portland now to
tala 92,786 tons, the largest figure
engaged since the 102 season and of
that total Houser lias about 30 per
cent.
That the number of vessels to be
awntfroni the port of Portland to the
United Kingdom and Kuropeau porta
fias not nearly reached its end is to be
seen from the number Under charter,
for while Houger has 10 vessels on hU
list now he last year sent out 21 bot

cally the same numher for the past
several years, more are to be expected

PERSONAL MENTION
Business Looking Up.
That business at last has started on
the up grade after months of decree
slon is the conclusion William Mc Mur
ray, general passenger agent of the
O.-W. R. & N. company, says was
forced upon him during his visit to
Chicago. He returned yesterday from
a hurried trip to confer with traffic
chiefs of the union Pacific system.
"All west bound trains from Chicago
are being sent out loaded to their ca
pacity," said Mr. McMurray. "I tried
at seven different city ticket offices
before I could get a Pullman reserva
tion for my return. I talked with nu
merous railroad men and merchants
and each said things were looking
brighter. I know that Is the case with
the passenger business.
"With crops so far along that they
cannot be seriously damaged and such
Indications of returning confidence as
tbe sudden increase in travel, I can
not possibly see anything but better
times."

An Open Letter to the
Ethical Dental Trust
of Oregon
f t 'sMK J
7
In the twenty-five years that I have been a prac
ticing dentist I have never been a member of a
dental society. I refuse to join the ethical dental
trust and have been the object of malice and perse
cution because I will not. practice dentistry accord
ing to the rules and regulations laid down by this
un-American secret cabal. I give to every man the
right to practice his profession as his conscience
dictates, and 1 demand tne same ngni. i nerc arc
many honorable, broadminded ethical dentists who.
because of financial reasons, or through fear of
being branded a "quack," submit to the dictates of
the ethical dental trust, but in their own hearts de
nounce the methods used by the little bunch of
ethical highbinders who in each state assume to be the law and gospel
of dentistry. In Oregon this ethical dental trust has set up a high
court in which it claims the right to try any dentist on the charge, of
professional treason who does not conform to their rules and regu
lations. Two months ago I came to Portland and established in the Mer
chants Trust building, corner of Sixth and Washington streets, my
sixth Painless Parker office on the Pacific Coast. Every one of my
associates here, as in all my other offices, are graduated, licensed dent
ists of experience. I have invested my own money, pay my bills,
obey the laws and conduct my business in an honorable, open and
above-board manner. I ask no favors from the ethical dental trust
and I deny that they have any right to make any rules by which I shall -conduct
my business in this state. This ethical dental trust is a close
organization in restraint of trade from which the public is excluded. It
meets in secret as a dental society and plots how to have laws passed
for the benefit of its membersnd how dentists who do not belong can
be persecuted by prosecution. Under the pretext of the public good,
they are trying to put a high board fence around the .state of Oregon, so
they can urfmolested drive the people into their clutches like sheep to
the slaughter. They want a government by dentists for dentists and
if they had as much courage as they have villainy they would have a
law passed permitting them to draw and quarter every dentist who
put an advertisement in a newspaper. They are not only, in a con
spiracy to rob the public, but they want to keep the people in ignorance
of tooth hygiene. Becaus I have raised dentistry above a petty lar
ceny business, and will not conform, to their secret price Jist, they call
me a "quack." On this principle I have staked a"lifetimeof labor and
have a fortune invested. Had I simply desired money I could have re
tired from practice years ago with a competency, but; the American
people have been kind to me with liberal patronage and I do not
propose to stand by without a protest and be branded a "quack" so the
ethical dental trust can force the public to pay big fees for social posi
tion and poor dentistry. I am a graduate dentist, holding a degree from
one of the best dental colleges in America. I am licensed to practice in
half a dozen states and in Canada. I am the equal in skill, training and
experience of any dentist in Oregon. I submit to the fairminded people
of Oregon who pay the" dentist's bills whether this state shall be the "
exclusive professional game preserve for an ethical dental trust, or
whether the people shall say what the laws of this state shall be
Respectfully, PAINLESS PARKER, DENTIST.
