an Index to the progressive' spirit
tliHt iKTViulf the entire community.
We have reliullt ami remodeled our
churches t hat we iiiluht have places
that nre inure ultrtu-tlve and
more commodious In which to wor
ship. We have borrowed fornix
with which to purchase the city
waterworkn. We are now bonding
fur street Improvement anil good
roads Increased fit-llttlts have lieen
made throughout the valley for the
handling of our luscious fruit to the
hest advantage. Reference I made
to these sigulti-ant movement and
changes, not with a view to dispar
agement, but with the. fond hope
that whif ha been wrought may
give 11 courage to meet till chal
lenge: '-po we care for our suf
ferers? "
I'lidouliledly the bent possible ha
been done 111 the past III the way of
making hospital provllon for the
Mick, but to do our bet In the future
vast tftrldc of advancement must be
made. The remodeling of the hospi
tal can lie dode for t few thouand
(lunar, I lie crowned warn a well
n the lack of facilities and modern
equipment all clamor for our honest
consideration. Being without an
elevator In the building, the patient.
no matter how delicate In health or
how enfeebled by year, must be car
rled up and down lalr. to and
from the operating room. Furth
ermore, Inning no bell Kyxtem, the
nurses wale no little time and ener
gy trying to locate call, while pa
tient are waiting for their care.
Last, but not leawt. It I self-evident
that thee contemplated Improve,
mt nt will mean much greater pre
caution agaliiMt the awful ravage
of tire. It lHtated by good author
It y that the physicians have done
more than their hare, with a close
xecond In the merchant. The time
ha come for everyone to do ome
thing. Think of It! Can Hood kiver
with her million of wealth have
grox neglect like thee laid at her
door?
Thoxe In the management of the
hoxpital do not uxk aim, neither do
they axk f-ircharlty or philanthropy ;
they axk for email loan Investments
on the part of u all. For inonlex re
ceived they propone to lxue receipt
that are redeemable by the Itirtt It u
tlon at the regular hoxpital rate.
It will be of Interest to look Into
the record of the hoxpital for the
year of lull and 11)13 to date. IHir
Ing 1011 there were 2m patient en
rolled ls:l Murgical, 7 medical, and
l." obstetrical caxe. There were 1)
death for the year. ." medical and 4
surgical. Thus far till year 2s per

02 medical ami 11 obstetrical, with
total death of N. It I due both the
nurxi-H and phyxlclau to stale that
tills Is a splendid showing, not wft h
stauding all the Inconveniences and
handicap of the Institution Is It
not reasonable to lielleve that the
reHiilt might have been more grail
lying under more favorable condl
tlon?
In closing let me state that it has
been suggested that we haven Hos
pital Day In the very near futur. the
board of director to Indicace the
time ami arrange a program. That
special endeavor be made to arouse
people from Mount Hood to Mount
Adams and from Mosler to Cascade
Lock. Frge every professor and
teacher to bring the matter befor,
the school on that day. Have a big
mass meeting lit night In the Com
mercial Club room to which all
clubs, fraternities anil churchc
should rally. Concerted action will
insure a superb culmination the
dawning of a l-tter d'iy for the
atilicted In our midst.

QUEER OLD PORTAGE
ROAD IS UNCOVERED
An Interesting relic of old day on
the Columbia wa discovered at The
Ialle last week. Ill excavating for
the main trunk line of the city' new
wewer system extending along the
bank of the Columbia the workmen
uncovered Hie timber on which
rested the old portag" railroad which
was situated near what I now the
luouth of the Mill Creek tunnel, to
another lauding above Celilo
This old railway wa In operation
during tli" early six He and played
an Important part In the navigation
of the Col u labia Kiver. Many of the
old tliuU-rsare tu excellent condition,
owing to having lieen covered with
sand. In many place may be een
evidence of the extreme amount of
labor It must have taken to build the
road. The timber were mortised to
gether by hand and there being no
tie used In those day the rail were
laid parallel on top of the wooden
t ringer.
