TTTE OHEGOX STATESMAX: TITSnAY. APRIfc 10, 1PI Quality Dentistry For the Lean in Purse ' - ' ' ' . ; 1 . . . Twenty-fiv years fighting ethical bigotry have resulted in placing good dentistry in the mouths of those who have to consult the dictates of their purses if they would save their teeth. In order to have peace we sometimes have to fight for it. That's my position now, and heretofore. For the right to advertise, dentists face professional ostracism by self-constituted judges who, though never having adver-.-. tised, have no background of. experience, can know noth ing of practical advertising, yet make breaking the mile a cause for expulsion from or non-admission to the guild of politically ruled, fright little, tight little, dental societies.

Oregon, my o In nervations touching the personality and work, of Pioneer Methodism dur ing ray slxty-slx years of sojourn in Orefon. I fear that my lapse of mem ory and lax observation may prove to be stale and of little value as an ftirttorlml sketrh of Pioneer Method Ism in this northwest. As fo the personality of Jason Ie and hs missionary associates, their achievements are matters of! com mon knowledge to all reading nem- ,trs of fhe Methodist church In this northwest. I will only add that in my judgment their work Involved greater rensecrat Ion, more lntenlva service and loftier purposes than that nf th- Pilgrim Fathers, who Inndfd from 'he good ship Mayflower on the Ideak rhores of New Kngland, severity nf climatic conditions ei ccpted. TheVs was for the ifijoy ment of religions freedom. These were teachers of the Man of Nazar eth, to bring "glad tidings of great Joy" to benighted races; to spend th-lr lives for Christ; to extend Hit kingdom over the waste places: to plant His banner npon the mountain tops and hillsides, even to the shores of the lordly Pacific. Lee's letter Attractive. Jason Iee's letters, published ta the Western Christian Advocate, turned my parents' attention toward Oregon; and when the division In the church, over the slavery ques tion, occurred In 184 4 I heard my father say to a Methodist preacher (we had circuit riders In those days) that he wanted to go to Oregon, and gave' as a reason that If the Metho dist church must divide. It would not be long before the nation would be divided, or be Involved in a civil war, and he wanted to be too far away to have any part tn it. We made the journey overland to Oregon In 1851, crossing the Mis souri where Omahji ' now stands, with not a settler on tho west side of the river on the line of our route until we reached the Willamette val ley at Philip Foster's at the western foot of the Cascade mountains, on the 2th day of September. Father secured a donation claim about five miles south of Dayton, but before reaching that point we were met by Tier. William Roberts, with welcome andbrotherly greetings. 1 came to know him later as Elder Roberts (D. D.'s were not as com mon then as now); a polished and eloquent preacher, forceful and con vincing. In his later years he trans ferred his labors to eastern Oregon and Idaho. In his declining yean, with a well spent life, he settled in Dayton. Or. nefore leaving my. father's home in the summer of 18SS I recall pas toral visits by Rev. N. Doane. Rev. J. H. Wilbur. Rev. J. W. Miller. Fa ther Spencer, Rev. J. W. York, Elder T. H. Pearne, C. O. Hosford. Rev. Robert Rooth and Rev. John Fllnn all faithful and earnest workers In Christian endeavor. Father's home was always a stopping plac for Methodist ministers. ' Purine the two years of student life In Willamette university I came to know Rev. F. S. Hoyt. president of the university, beloved by all with whom he rarue In touch: subsequent ly connected with the Northwestern university of Ohio, and for twelve years editor of the Western Chris tian Advocate; Rev. Isaac Dillon, sweet spirited, learned and tactful, as nrofessor In the university, as rbastor, and. later, editor of Pacific Advocate, whose body, by accident, rests somewhere off tle shores of Whldby'a island in Puget sound; al so, Rev. A. F. Wsller, organizer of churches, the builder of tha Will amette university, wise In planning and successful in execution; Rev. Qustavus Hines, able In the pulpit, heroic In service, and brotherly in social function; Rev. J. II. Wilbur, later better known as Father Wil bur, the doer of thlnrs, as an effi cient and Indomnltable worker on lines of good citizenship and Chris tian uollft none higher stands. Fa ther Wilbur, on the death of his be loved wife, brought her remains from Walla Walla, Wash., to Salem, and deposited them in his lot In Lee, Mis sion cemetery. While In Salem, ha ws a guest In our home, and after resting, he expressed a desire to call on some old time friends. I took It npon 'myself to pilot him t such places as he wished to call, and In our rambles we met on 'the side walk. Elder Roberts. After broOi- rly greetings, Father Wllber asked Brother Roberts If he had made ar rangements for his final resting place. flrother Roberts replied "Nd." Father Wilbur then said. "I have burled my wife on a lot that I bought yars ago In the le Mission conspcrsfcd cemetery, and soon, my body will be laid beside her, and since we have labored together In Chrlstlsn brotherhood, 1 think hi flttlnghat werest together till the resurrection morn. There will be Lnmni In my lot, and, you will bo ri.. il . . a . .iiwre insn wnrome m snsre it wun me." With trembling Hps and tear f.il eyes, Elder Roberts accepted the tender, and. as a sequence, a mod est granite monument marks, the resting place of thes heroes of, the cross.
