It is believed that the city will be able to throw the institution open September 15. Construction of the new hospital, under force account, has been under the supervision of City Com missioner Barbur. In charge of the department-of puLlic works. The actual work is being directed by H. K. Plummer, chief building inspector. - - Although modern in every respect, the new hospital is an example of economical building, the total cost being estimated at less than J60.000. The building will have a capacity of 60 beds under normal conditions, although in the case of an epidemic room can be provided for approximately 200 beds by use of the attic. Protest at the use of the Kelly Butte jail as an isolation hospital resulted in the authorization of the new hospital. For years Portland has been without a modern contagion hospital, a heavy handicap upon the city health board. The county commissioners have appropriated $15,500 toward the cost of the building, the remainder having been expended by the city of Portland. - EIRL SAVES 01 LIFE WESTERN UNION OPERATOR IS GRITTY ACROBAT.
