BLOWERS, Mgrs. 828-29-M Miner Bldg-Phone 600 SUITE IS l-W, One of the most modern surgical establishments in the Went has jnst been installed mi -west sine of the seventh floor o the new V, K. Miner ! building by Dr, H. Date and Pr, j A. F. Sether. The strife of, rooms, ( comprising TA in a)), is completely 1 furnished with eveY device and aU j latest equipment known to medical and surgical science. The outstanding feature ot the ap-to-date Quarters is the radium and rray equipment. ThiB is all new, and ' Che most modern that can be obtained. An expert x-ray technician Is in charge of Ibis department, which is , open to outside surgeons, it is an nounced. The radium department, ! i wmcb is becoming more and more im- portant, is also under the direction , o an expert technician, and is be coming noted in the west as being one of the most efficient departments ot its Kind. The x-ray room (a a marvel of eel- ( entifie efficiency. -A Buckley-Diaph-raghui table, with au automatic tur- J ner, has 5ust been installed, as bas; a high grade horizontal and vertical Sluroscope; a new, modem transfor mer of tbe latest type, and a com plete dark room. One of the moat amaing of invent ions is that known j as the stereoscope for x-ray films, j This oy utilising two films can give I the view of solidarity, or a third I dimension. In this wa.v the distance, of an object or disturbance in Che ( human body can be accurately de-' teroiinen, and the seat of trouble at- tended to. This is one of the most !. important discoveries in connection with x-ray. The suite contains a comnlete Wbd- pler x-ray plant, which is universally ; recognised aa the utmost in this sci- ence. Tbe apparatus is all new, and in perfect working order, j The suite includes a radium de- partment, with two rooms with, beds i so that the patients may assume com tortable positions. The treatment of r radium is administered in the roost expert and efficient manner. A Ther auputlc suite of rooms, aystoscopic rooms, a general surgery room, two weli appointed dressing rooms, two private offices and a rest room com plete the quarters. Dr. Dale and Dr. Sethers are cou sins, and were educated in the Uni versity of Chicago and Rush Medical college at tbe same time. Much of their work while in college was done together, and it has been the lifelong ambition of both to practice together. Both have been active surgeons for the past 25 years, Dr. Daie locating here and Dr. Sether in Roseburg, where he achieved the reputation of being- the leading surgeon in southern Oregon, Dr. Dale is rated very high in this part of the state, and has the confidence of the people of Eugene. Under the competent hands of the two noted doctors, the laboratory nt Kngene in the Miner building is al ready bringing fame, and it la rated aa one of the best on tbe Pacific coast. The rooms were especially design ed by the doctors themselves, so that crery convenience is arranged exact ly as they want it, in accordance with tbe latest scientific studies in the Held of surgery. ISlELTljKB FAITH When I first came to Eugene I visioned it a city of progress and pros perity. It was my ambition to erect one of the finest buildings here to build for posterity. So I planned a metropolitan structure, a building of eight stories that some day would be even higher. It was my vision, but it was a business vision, founded on basic business principles. I found hearty co-operation in Eugene, and each day I grew more optimistic over this great project. As the building grew, so did my faith in the city. The Willamette valley, of which this city is the center, is one of the greatest regions in the United States. It is blessed with a wonderful agricul tural fertility, and abundant resources for industry. Nearby is a great body of timber, a resource that is becom ing more valuable every day. I believe I have chosen wisely, and the men . who constructed my structure have builded well. It is with great faith that I face the future in Eugene- May every resident of this valley share this faith, and may all of us work together for a greater Eugene. ' W. E. MINER.

If. Fields, practicing physician, Tr. Fields hag thoroughly schooled him self for general practice, and es pecially for the treatment of diseases of women and obstretie cases. Tbe dnrtor obtained bis education in Baltimore and then for eight years J prscticed in Iowa, He felt the urge; to come West, however, and removed j to Gardner, Oregon, where he slaved until the war began. He then) brought hit family to Eugene, and j spent three valuable years in the ar my, where his experience equalled that of 2f ordinary years, he de clares, i During the war, Br, Fields served in .Siberia, where tbe rigors of the Siberian climate created conditions that could never arise in Oregon, the doctor declares "Oregon people do not enjoy their mild winters like they should," he says. "In Siberia the wisds howl and storms used to batter our shelters when the temperature was down below aero. Relieve me, 1 can thoroughly enjoy an ordinary Oregon rata and call it pleasant weather!" Mr. Fields (a particularly proud of bis suite of offices. One feature he designed himself la the srrangement of rooms. From his office be ran enter any place without going into his reception room. Patients can be taken to end fro without disturbing anyone, due to the efficient planning of tbe suite. The tire room suite includes (he well -appoint ed.reeept ion room, a pri rate office tor the doctor, and fftre room operating unit. This includes the operating room proper, and a re covery room, complete with a com fortable bed. Tbia pens on to the half. Tbe operating room is pompletJy equipped with ail surgical instruments end is ready foT immediate artion, Krery convenience to make patients oomfortahle is provided. )r. Fields has be-n located In F.u gene since the end of the war, nd he toy that hi- likes Jt more and more as time g on. "I am gfnd that I located here. he wits, "and iny rami? is well pleased too. Eugene ia ind"d a pleasant pla to work, and 1 ber it bt a r) future." A suite of five rooms, each com plete dentally, surrounds Dr. tt. M, 0 raves, dentist, who can- bo fyun1 in suite 000-tiMi, in the new' iftner building. Every room was designed esvecialif for Vr. Graves, and he hn not. yet tired to showing hia friends through to show them how skillfully and handily arranged everything is. The fire rooms include a reception room of attractive design aud fura isbings; a aboraiory( a rest room, and the main deufnl room. The rooms occupy the northeast romer, are well lighted, and have every convenience. Dr. Craves has been practicing den tistry for 31 years in Eugene, and he is more pleased with the city every year, he nays. He came here from Kentucky, and during his dental car eer, spent two years in tbe Vnited States Army during the world war aa dental suTgeon. "2 like Eugene because It Is a clean, healthful community," say Dr. Graves. Thbj Is quickly noticeable to a professional man, Flugene res idents are unusually careful in 1b& care and attention they give their teeth, and this is a sign of a high moral standard In the city. IVhtle in the army I ten-rued to judge a man character hy his teeth, and aa I look into the mouths of the people of Eu gene, I realize that here is a people that are clean and honest, people who are pleasant to live with because they live right.' Kugene will thrive because it has gotfd solid foundations for prosperity, believes Or. Graves. The W. E. Mf- ner building is a mark ot progress, he believes, and represents a mon ument of integrity and industry for the city. flisliiis miras ALTS K1G TAKES 6 A town can right fully claim to be a cily when it van boawt of a compe tent, well known oral surgeon. Dr. loren Rogan, who came from Port land three years ago finds that Eu gene is a good fieUI fr Ifua tiud ot work.

Six years ago Alta Kin came to Eugene and took the iuipuctaut po sition of acemurinl for iane county, lie became city recorder a itte la ter, and held this position efficiently for four years. Vuring this time Eugene grew from a town Into a thriving, bustling city, and Mr. King saw many opportunities beyond Cue city recorder's office. So be cast loose, and set up In business for him self. Jt was a big jump for rae," he says, "aud it waa hard work to break away from tbe city work. The as sociations were pleasant, and the work was lo my liking, but tbe chance to expand waa not (here. There was just the work to do and that was alb 1 wanted & chance to become a more vital worker in the city." Mr. King baa an excellent educa tion, in taw, ia a. tegular attorney, so be decided to take ibis pp. ie has never regretted masing (he change he. says, for the city i rapidly grow ing and has provided him with plenty to do.

The people ol Jiugene are unnsuaiiy pleas -ttnt to deal with, thus malting the work likeable at aU times. Mr. King one ot the most opti mistic of Eugene booster.
