Dr. George Parrish, city health officer, today reiterated his state ments in favor of establishing the contagion hospital at Kelly Butte, as originally - planned, rather than delay construction by attempting to switch the site to Marquam hill, as proposed be the University of Ore gon medical school. "The two acres of land offered by the medical Bchool are preferable In every way to the Kelly Butte sit." he declared. "But the necessary delay occasioned by transferring materials and changing all our plans at this late date would be se. rious. $? ALREADY EXPESBED "Construction at Kelly Butte has been under way for some time now. Nearly 12000 has been expended on that site, and this would be almost a total loss to the city should plans now be changed. We need 'the contagion hospital imme diately, and further delays for any rea son whatsover would be unwarranted. Otherwise, except for the crying need for the hospital immediately, I would favor the Marquam hill site. "As I understand it. Dr. Mackenzie says that we can have that site within two or three weeks. If the hospital as sociation will give us the deed to the landX it might in a way offset the ex penditure of J2000 at Kelly Butte, as the land would be worth nearly that much. At the Butte we have mterely a lease on the land for 99 years, the county officials not having, deeded the property to us. HILL LOCATION PRAISED "Marquam hill will become one of the most noted medical spots on the Pacific coast. With the university there, the county hospital under erection, and other medical buildings planned, it is destined to become famous. It is the logical spot for a contagion hospital and were It not that we must have a hospital immediately, I would favor its erection there. But changing -our plans now is apt to cause a delay of months. I do not consider that it would be worth It However, If It can be ar ranged so that we can build the hos pital on the hill almost as quickly as on Kelly Butte, It Is the logical thing to do." It Is understood that the hospital as sociation will present the plan to the city council on Wednesday. Lewis' Watchword As Candidate Gets Bad Twist in Print D. C. Lewis, who bas just filed his Intention to be a candidate for state sen ator from Multnomah county, declares that fate Is unkind to him.

Somewhere In the shuffle, how- ever, the word not was dropped out of the sentence, so that he Is on record at the office of the secretary of state as contending that "Legislation In favor of the few and against the mar.y should be tolerated." Lewis contends that this is not what he believes, and he has taken the mis take up with the secretary of state, ask ing that his filing be corrected so that It will say what he wants, and Intended to say.

The death of Wells Is the only one reported In the last 24 hours." r Extract From Reply to a Letter Received by the Portland Gas & Coke Co. You ask why our ad figures that, if the GASCO FURNACE heating bill of Feb. 6 was $19.35, the total for the 9 months' heat ing season will be less than $100, instead of $144.15. The Company's books show that heating bills per season average less than five times the bill for the coldest month. Your figuring would be correct if it cost as much to heat the house in September or in May as in December or January: COURT IS ASKED TO YIELD FRACTION IN El Counsel for. Union Asks Permis sion to Put Picket at Each Front Door of Boycotted Store. Permission to station two pickets in front of each of the Wright's Sample Shoe Shop at Fourth and Alder streets, and Greenfield's shoe store at Fourth and.

When automobiles skid 90 feet they are beyond control There will always be accidents, mutilations and killings, as long as machine ar beyond control.
