An Elegant and Commodious
.. Brick Hospital...
The accompanying cut is from a pic
ture of the latest building at the Salem
United States Indian Training school,
located just north of the city on the
Southern Pacific railroad and the new
Oregon Electric line. It is a hospital,
and one of the handsomest and best ar
ranged in the Indian service in the whole
United States. The building has just
been completed by F. A. Erixon, the
well-known Salem contractor. It was
done on time. This fact is mentioned,
because it is a somewhat unusual thing
to see buildings completed on time. It
was a work of considerable magnitude,
including a sewer system, water system,
and an electric light line working from
the power house.
The building is of brick, with a con
crete foundation. The main building is
two stories high. The two wings are one
story. There is a basement under the
main building, in which is the steam
heating plant. The plumbing of the
building is very elaborate; better, per
haps than that contained in other build
ings on the grounds. The building is well
constructed throughout. It has splendid
fir floors, made of two and a half inch
flooring instead of the usual four inch.
The new structure not only adds to the
beauty of the group of fine buildings on
the grounds of this institution, but it al
so fills a very needful place in the con-'
veniences and equipment of the great
institution the only scnoolin the north-,
west for the higher education of the In
dian, and one of the four leading ones in
the United States. Salem Statesman.
