Dr. Harry F. McKay was' named
County Physician at a meeting- of the
Multnomah County Commissioners yes
terday. He takes the place of Dr. B.
P. Geary, who resigned. Dr. Harry R.
Cliff continues In his position as as
sistant to the county medical officer.
The election of Dr. McKay was the
first serious bump given the Rufus C.
Holman patronage programme, follow
ing the. break between Commissioner
Holman and Commissioner Muck, which
ocurred when Mr. Holman threw his
support of the Vanoouver delegation in
the appointment of a superintendent
tor the Insterstate bridge.
Mr. Holman proposed the name of Dr.
Robert C. Tenney for County Physician.
The proposal was all but ignored by
the other Commissioners, who pro
ceeded to elect the man on whom they
bad decided, and who they felt was well
qualified to fill the position. Commis
sioner Holbrook proposed the name of
Dr. McKay for the office, and the choice
was seconded by Mr. Muck. Mr. Hol
man, as. chairman of the Board, cast no
TOte.
Dr. McKay brings to the office of
County Physician not only wide experi
ence in medical affairs, but also a
working knowledge of the problems to
be faced, for he held the position which
is now tendered him, 27 years ago. He
was County Physician of Multnomah
County from 1889 to 1892. He resigned
in 1892 to go to Europe.
Dr. McKay's brief tenure was a
etormy one. There was a political at
tempt to oust him from office and he
became the object of an attack which
bad for its object his removal.
Portland newspapers supported Dr.
McKay and pointed out where he had
saved much money to the county, par
ticularly in a hospital scandal he ex
posed. Patients were then sent by the
county to private hospitals. Dr. McKay
found where the county was paying
one hospital $30 a month for the care
of a man who had died months before.
He uncovered other cases where county
wards were made to work In the hos
pital garden and scrub floors, although
their accommodations and care had
been paid for by the county.
Dr. McKay also established the first
county hospital. He is much Interested
in the proposed new hospital, but op
poses the offered location for it on the
University of Oregon medical center
grant, above Terwilliger boulevard.
Dr. McKay has been on the State
Board of Medical Examiners for eight
years and was chairman of the Board
until recently. He was appointed to
the Board by Governor Benson and re
appointed by Governor Withycombe.

cashier who sports a. pair of those
horned spectacles of the Bostonian
brand a bashful and diffident" young
fellow Is the outstanding feature of
"A Girl Like That," ths Paramount
photoplay which opened an engage
ment at the Peoples Theater yesterday.
Owen Moore, sometimes called Mr.
Mary Piekford, but a popular star in
his own ritrht. contributes this delecta
ble portrayal, and does it in a manner
to enhance his screen reputation, even
if he is not the dashing and debonair
hero of the average film tale.
Irene Fenwick, erstwhile of the stage
and "The Song of Songs, is co-starred
with Moore in this interesting and at
times dramatic tale of city and country
life, bank robbers, bank cashiers,
money-bags and love. Miss Fenwick
is cast in the role of Xell Gordon
daughter of a bank robber. While the
girl longs for the straight and narrow
path, she believes It her duty to a
dying father to assist in a rich haul.
So she goes to Wheaton, N. Y., gets
a job in the bank of which Moore is
the cashier, and then gets the com
bination. However, she falls in love
with the cashier and refuses to aid the
robbers. The father is killed by his
pals, and, to avenge his death Nell
double-crosses the crooks, lands them
in Jail and captures a perfectly good
albeit bashful and absent-minded.
husband.
"A Girl Like That" is a crook story,
uut not of the stereotyped variety.

scenes, and there la much good com

turns home to discover that her father
is a cynical clubman, her mother and
sister snobs, who are hunting for a
title, and the brother a scapegrace.
So Bessie consorts with and apes the

center the attention of the family upon
her and effect a permanent cure for
all involved.
