CITV CONTAGIOUS HOSP1TAU
Portland's new contagious hospital adjacent to Kelly Butte, is nearing completion. 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. -

Wife Murdered Told Draft Board
He Was Conscientious Objector.
ALBANY. Or., Aug. 7. (Special.)
Olaf Andersen, who has confessed at
Astoria that he murdered his wife by
drowning her in the Columbia river
last Sxturday night, claimed exemp
tion from military service during the
recent war on the ground that he did
net believe in killing.
His claim that he was a consclen-
IJ tious objector was made to the draft
jj exemption board here, as Anderson
was then a resident of Brownsville,
in this county.
Members of the board say they re
member Anderson well as he made
musuiil efforts to avoid having to
enter the service. His plea that he
was a conscientious objector was not
'IIS recognized, but he gained deferred
j;; 5 classification because he had a wife
.':; and child.
j' j He had some difficulty about this.
,:.'( because his wife was ill and unable
! 'I t" go before a notary to make a sup-
Z porting affidavit, and as he had wait-
ed until near lh Hm 14mi a rti i.u

;!?.PAVING IS BEND ISSUE
Gravel Surface Streets and Roads
7" Meeting Opposition.
" BEND, Or.. Aug. 7 (Special.)
paving or Hend s downtown streets
has become the issue which is draw-
; ing chief attention here. The matter
was first taken up by the Commercial
; . club, certain members being opposed
to further improving roads and
streets with gravel, which is clearlv
inadequate to present needs. Mean-
.: while- the Western Wlllite Road and
; Construction company, which is pav
i' ing for the Shevlin-Hixon Lumber
j-- company here, filed a proposal to
i pave a section of a downtown street
. as a sample. This brought the mat
S ter to a head in the city council. "'-
As the mayor was opposed to ac-
j tion before the will of the-taxpayers
i was expressed, a special meeting is
, called for Monday night, when prop
erty owners will give their opinion
for or against the proposition. It is
practically certain that a large part
. of Bend's business streets will . be
paved soon. . .
Miss Mary Oiinger Makes Way
Hand-Over-Hand Down Metal
Windows.
An escape, rivaling those of motion
picture or magazine heroines was
effected yesterday by Miss Mary Ol
inger. a telephone operator for the
Western Union main . office, when

room Miss dinger was robed only in
nightclothes. but she slipped into a
petticoat and' set forth. The blinds
upon which she depended for a lad
der are the full length of the win
dows and are made of smooth metal.
A few minutes after she made her
escape the flames destroyed every
thing in her room. Although she lost
all her -belongings the girl ,is uninjured.
Miss Christine Johnson; who occu
pied rooms on the second floor, was
awakened by a woman's scream and.
finding all avenues of escape cut off
by the flames which were already
sweeping through the second noor
hallway, was forced to jump from the
window. Before jumping she collected
i few articles of clothing and some
arge pictures and threw them from
the window". Luckily she escaped
with a few minor bauises, but the
clothing she threw out, consisting of
blue coat with plush collar and
cuffs, a dress and a pink and blue
silk jersey petticoat, together with
her pictures, is said to have disap
peared. Her phone number is Broad

EUGENE. Or., Aug. 7.(Special.)
The radio men at the forest patrol
base in this city were -not the first
to hear voices from the air. according
to Delmar Jeans and Tom Hall, boys
of this city, each of whom has a com
plete radio set and who a few nights
ago picked up human voices through
their instruments before the forest
patrol men announced that they had
caught the sound of human voices in
conversation.
The conversations were easily
heard, say young Jeans and Hall, and
it is their belief, as well as that of
the forest service men now. that the
voices instead of being transmitted
through wireless telephone apparatus
came from the long-distance telephone
wires.
