HOMESTEAD AT SOUTH SIDE OF CITY ON BANKS OF THE BEAUTIFUL

Citv Need in War of Hospital to Be Supplied in a small way Until inch a
Time as People See the Advisability of Erecting Greater Institution-
Location is Heal, and Sanitarium Has Endorsement of Local Physicians
Who Hope That It Will Be Patronized.
The Mary's River Sanitarium
is a new institution opened in
Corvallis yesterday, the Avery
homestead west of the Mary's
river bridge on south Third
street having been converted to
that purpose under the super
vision of Miss Isabel Smith,
graduate nurse.
The Avery residence had eight
or ten rooms available, and these
are fitted up for patients and
operating rooms, or will be
at the earliest date possible.
While this is not of great extent,
it will probably answer the im
mediate need and form the in
spiration for a greater hospital
at a. comparatively early date,
v, The location is ideal, the conven-
i enceswiir.be i thoroughly'iaod
ern, and as Miss Smith, the ma
tron, has the endorsement of
Corvallis physicians, it seems
more than probable that the in
stitution will be a success from
the beginning.
A Great Need.
That there is an urgent de
mand for a local hospital, where
the sick may be cared for prop
erly and operations performed
under desired conditions is dem
onstrated in the number of pa
tients taken from this vicinity
to Albany, Salem and Portland
hospitals. In most instances
these patients could be attended
here to far better advantage if
the facilities for performing
operations successfully, and
proper nursing under desired
conditions, could be had. The
new sanitarium is intended to
meet the need and there is little
doubt that in a small way this
institution will be as perfect as
the larger hospitials.
: Miss Smith, the matron, is a
graduate of the Good Samaritan
hospital, Portland, where she
had the best training to be se
cured; later, she went abroad,
visiting hospitals in England,
France, Germany and Austria,
and during the winter of 1907-08
she nursed in London. This
, would seem to offer all the as
surance necessary. A first
, class nurse, at a hospital well
equipped and located in such an
ideal spot as the Avery home
stead, is almost sufficient to in
duce some people to get sick,
that they might have a vacation.
Open to AD.
As it comes to , us, tins is a
community hospital under the
care of no ; particular physican,
but open to all. Physicians hav
ing patients in homes that do
not offer conditions necessary to
early recovery may take them to
the Mary's River Sanitarium and
there find for them at the least
cost the nursing and surround
ings desired. The patient would
be free from the annoyance and
inconvenience of the average
home, and the home would be
of getting out logs. One of the
best scenes is the one where a
donkey is putting the logs into a
stream. The other films are
average! The bill will be re
peated tonight, and no doubt to
crowded houses.

free of the disorder and gloom
occasioned by sickness there.
The nursing necessary and the
attention of physicians could be
had under such conditions as
would work to the best good of
all concerned, ' '"
Great For Emergencies.
In the matter of emergency
cases, this hospital should prove
of inestimatable benefit. Indi
viduals stricken suddenly nigh
unto death are now taken to
Portland, and besides the time
lost, the trip proves extremely
hard on the patient and the
; chance for a successful operation
is necessarily lessened in pro
portion. The medical and surgi
cal profession in Corvallis ranks
with any in Oregon and it is rea
sonably certain that, under such
conditions as a well-equipped
hospital goffers, can ' meet" every
emergency more successful Lthan
can Portland physicians after a
patient in dangerous condition
has been hustled 100 miles.
This hospital idea should meet
with success. It means much
to the sick and afflicted of this
community and tributary country
and as a finanical matter means
much to unfortunate families,
and the city as a whole. While
the Avery homestead will ans
wer perfectly for a time, the .in
stitute should receive such sup
port (providing it meets all ex
pectations) as will make it nec
essary for Corvallis to organize
a nospitai company ana erect a
fine institution of this sort,
Ed Schoel, a farmer residing
two and a half miles south of
Albany, has taken every first
prize in the classes of hogs,
sheep and poultry in which he
competed at the California State
Fair at Sacramento. Schoel took
25 hogs, 12 sheep and 30 speci
mens of poultry to Sacramento
and has evidently swept the
field. He will take his exhibit
to the Oregon State Fair at
Salem, the Pacific National
Livestock Show at Portland and
the Seattle Exposition. Last
year Schoel took $774 in pre
miums at fairs at Salem, Port
land, Nort Yakima and Spokane
with an exhibit of hogs and
poultry.
THRESHING RECORD
Albany Democrat: B. J. Rid-
ders, of Benton county, claims
the record in threshing. Thurs
day he started to work with:. his
crew at 8 a. m., and quit at 7 p.
m., threshing 1956 sacks of oats,
which will weigh out three bush
els per sack, making in all 5868
bushels of oats in one day, a re
markable showing.
Mr. Ridders has run thirty-one
days so far and will have about
ten more day s work. This is
his fifth year of threshing, and
he hasn't had a breakdown, due
to the fact that Mr. Ridders thor
oughly understands machinery

Quite recently the editor of

thirst parlors were put out of

HOYTS STILL
MAKING
GOOD
READING
The Hoyts at the Palace
theater last night appeared in an
entirely new program. Mr.
Hoyt recited very acceptably
"The Face on the Barroom
Floor" and "The Drunkard's
Dream." In their burlesque on
magic they exposed some of the
many tricks which they have
performed here the last three
weeks, and after seeing how
they were done it "is just as
easy." These clever people will
make the last appearance of their
engagement here tonight, and
their part of the program is
well worth seeing.
The best of the motion pictures
is "Stripping a Forest in Win
ter." This film is one taken in
the woods in the East and in
the vast forests of the great
West, showing the; difference in
the logging operations of the
two ' sections. .- The . pictures
show workmen felling the giants
of the forests, horses and donkey
engines hauling them to skid
ways and other parts of the work

ter: Discourtesy was met by
retrbution, and justice followed,
in an incident on the county
road in Douglas county lately
when a speeding automobile took
a wheel off of a buggy occupied
by a farmer of that section,
who had obligingly pulled up to
one side of the road to let the
autoists pass. Ignoring the
damage they had done, the auto
ists kept on. Mr. Farmer, how
ever, pulled out a revolver and.
with a well aimed shot, punctur
ed a $30 tire an the gasoline car.
This brought the auto to a halt;
and it did more. It brought the
two occupants back to the wreck
ed buggy with their hands in
the air before the farmer's
levelled revolver. A few words
passed, then one of the autoists
handed over enough money to
repair the buggy and the incid
ent was alosed.

To keep his 5-year-old son amused
while the father picked hops in the C.
A. McLoughlin yards near Independence
yesterday, Frank Mulkey gave hia boy
a pistol and a box of cartridges.
In a few minutes the boy had the
gun loaded, and the parents were star
tled by a shot. A bullet from the re
volver hit the chin of the boy's 2-year-
old sister, entering her neck and coming
out through the chest.
