Council Hint's Attack on I'ntiKwed
TulerculuMis Hospital at Win
cliONter Will Make Final
leciHlon Xext Monday.
That the state board of health will
immediately file suit and enjoin the
Winchester Sanitarium company
from constructing Its proposed tuber
culosis sanitarium at any point on
the North Unipqua watershed, was
the statement made Wednesday even
ing by H. F. Mclnturff, attorney for
the state board of health, at a spe
cial meeting of the city council called
for the purpose of hearing the state
ments of Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy
and others regarding the matter.
Mr. Mclnturff slates that the state
board of health la preparing a com
plaint against the company and that
an Injunction will be filed in the very
near future, and he requested the
city of Roseburg to become a party
to this complaint without expense to
itself.
Dr. Lovejoy clearly ctated hcr
position. She and her husband,
George A. Lovejoy, and other par
ties were owners of the property
where the building Is being con
structed. She was Informed by tele
graph that the property could be
sold, but after ascertaining the na
ture of the structure she refused to
sell her part of the land. There were
other owners, however, who forced
the deal and she is now protesting
against this action. She Is a woman
who stands high in the medical
circles of the world. She holds office
in some of the largest medical or
ganizations In the world and was one
of the first women to repesent the
American Itod Cross overseas, achiev
ing a great deal of fame for herself
and for this country by her excellent
work. She claims that this sani
tnrium If alto wed to go in Its present
location will not only pollute Rose
burg's water supply, but will be a
disgrace to the community and a
blotch upon her personal name and
record. She says she will fight the
battle single-handed if no help con
be secured and will bitterly oppose
any attempt to establish this pro
posed sanitarium.
"I cannot understand how the peo
ple of Roseburg can sit by and see
their water supply polluted and made
unfit for use," Dr. Lovejoy said. "If
I were in Roseburg, believe me, this
would not be allowed to go on. Port
land has protected its water supply
by buying the land around the source
of Its supply, and Bull Run water is
carefully guarded from contamina
tion. "On my land Is an excellent place
to sit and fish. The rocks run out
Into the stream and the rapids are
excellent places to catch fish. I wish
every person In Roseburg would pic
ture in his mind's eye a person af
flicted with tuberculosis sitting on
those rocks fishing and spitting Into
the water which is used for drinking
and domestic purposes.
"I am going to serve an injunction
against It and anything I can do per
sonally will be done. I can and will
fight it to the limit of my ability. I
don't want my name connected with
anything that will make me bow my
head In shame."
Mrs. Sadie Orr Duntrnr, secretary
of the Oregon State Anti-Tuberculosis
association, Bpoke briefly regard
ing the need of tuberculosis hospi
tals. She stated that the need is Im
perative but that the association will
not favor anything like the proposed
sanitarium at Winchester. She stated
that the best of medical authorities
will acknowledge that the sewerage
from a tuberculosis hospital cannot
be so treated as to remove all dan
ger. She stated that it would be Im
possible to keep the patients from
wandering about the grotfnds and
that they would soon pollute the
ground along the river and contami
nate the water supply She spoke in
.favor of a county tuberculosis hos
pital so located that It would not en
danger the water supply.
"If Roseburg allows this to go on.
it is going to find Itself at a great
expense," Mrs. Dunbar aald. "So far
as I have found out It Is the plan of
this company to advertise widely
throughout the east. Consumptives
will sell everything they possess, will
borrow all the money they can bor
row, will come to Winchester, will
take' treatments as long as their
funds hold out, then when they are
paupers the sanitarium will not treat
them. The members of that com
pany are not philanthropists. They
are after the money, and whn the
patient has no money he will be cast
out, and Douglas county will have to
take care of him."
Attorney H. T. McfnturtT also
spoke to the council, explaining that
the council has the right and powr
to prevent anything which might
contaminate the water supply of the
city. He praised Roseburg's cli
mate ami water supply aud slated
that this is our biggest advertising
feature.
"If your water supply becomes con
taminated, you lose your biggest
asset," was his statement.
He quoted the law relative to the
control of such places and showed to
the council that the city and county
health officers and state board of
health are empowered to prevent the
construction of any building which
might contaminate the waters of any
stream used for drinking or domestic ;
purposes. He assuiled the promoters
of the plan and branded it as a pure-'
ly money making scheme. He re-!
quested the council to pass a suitable '
resolution putting the city in co
operation with the state board of
health in the work of protecting tlu i
city's water. I
Attorney O. P. Coshow also spoke i
against the Institution, protesting the !
luring of migratory patienta to the j
vicinity. ,
Attorney George Neuner, who was ;
Instrumental in having a bill passed
protecting the North U mpqua water-
shed, spoke briefly, informing the
council that this law, of which he is
the fraraer, prevents any buildings
which might pollute the water. He
stated that Douglas county will Join
the stute board of health In its com
plaint. Claude Cannon made a few re
marks favoring the sanitarium. He
stated that some place should be
provided to care for these persons
and that Roseburg should be glad to
welcome them and that the stream
would not be polluted any more than
at present.
Attorney B. L. Eddy appeared and
suggested that the matter be left in
the hands of two sanitary experts,
one to be selected by the state board
of health and the other by the U. S.
board of health. He stated that this
is purely a scientific question and
not a legal one.
Attorney Mclnturff answered Mr.
Eddy by stating that It is a leral
question as the state board of health
is filing a complaint and an injunc
tion and will take every possible step
to prevent the construction of the
sanitarium.
After hearing all who cared to
sp:ak on the subject, the council de
cided to postpone action until next
Monday at the regular meeting when
a decision will be made.

ON DIAMOND LAKE
Secretary Agriculture Against
Bill Adding Lake to
National Park.
MAY GIVE A PERMIT
PoNhlble That Compromise Will be
Iteaclied and Attractive Lake
Turned Over With Reserva
tions for Water Power.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Edwin
T. Meredith, secretary of agriculture.
In a letter to Representative Slnnott,
reiterated his disapproval of a bill
adding additional areas from the na
tional forests to Crater lake national
park.
The lands which it was proposed
to add to the park Include Dianinni'
lake. Secretary Meredith pointed
out in bis li'tti-r that Diamond Inke
occupies a position of great Import
ance In connection with water power
development on Ihe Unipqua river.
The full development of storage
possibilities of Diamond lake, he
suid, would increase the possible
hydro electric power production of
15 power sites on the Unipqua river
by a total of 70,000 horsepower.
Recognising the recreational value of
the grounds around Diamond lake he
said that their uses might be turned
over to the national park service for
the full enjoyment ol tourists under
long llinw permits.
To add tne lands to the park per
manently'he said might ultimately
cause the same controversy now go
ing on over the use of the water sup
ply in Yellowstone national park. He
had reference to the efforts of set
tlers along the Upper Snake river in
Idaho to obtain permission to con
struct a reservoir on Fall river In
Yellowstone park to put water on
thousands of productive acres now
suffering from inadequate irrigation.
The conservationists blocked legis
lation in the last Besslon of congress
for tho latter development.
From the above It Is evident that
the forestry service and tho park
people may reach a compromise In
regard to the addition of Diamond
lake to the Crater lake park. Dia
mond lake is rapidly taking a place
almost equal to Crater lake as an at
traction for tourists and the park
bureau is very anxious to add this
wonderful lake to Its list of attrac
tions. The forestry service has ob
jected on the grounds that the with
drawal of this area would cause the
Ins of some of the best grazing lands
and would have a material effect on
the development of waterpower.
It Is quite possible that a com
promise agreement .will be reached
whereby the park bureau will accept
a change of boundary so that tho
grazing lands may be reserved and
also other reservations pertaining to
waterpower and future development.
The forestry department, Its offi
cials state, has no desire to hinder
the use of these sections for park
purposes and for the amusement of
the hundreds and thousands of peo
ple who throng to these places. How
ever. It demands the protection of
water which may later be needed for
power purposes, and also desires to
keep a much grazing land free as
possible.
