The board of trustees has signified an
intention to create a fund to be known
as the Blla Harper Cohen fund, the in
come of which is to be applied for (he
purpose indicated by Cohen.
In his will he expressed it as his pref
erence that the money should be used
for the support of a "free room for the
use of ladies in that station of life that
are comonly designated as gentlewomen
who by reason of poverty or other mis
fortunes are unable to pay forj proper
medical and surgical attention."
For many years Cohen was president
of the Portland Trust company. , He died
after leaving Portland. .
ByTiis last will and testament his sis
ter, Eleanor S. Cohen of Baltimore, Md.,
was made hfs sole residuary legatee.
The will provided thai the bequest to
the hospital should' not be turned over
to the hospital authorities until after the
death of the widow, Ella Harper Cohen,
and that the room should be known as
the '"'Klla Harper Cohen room," but if a
fund were established for the support of
the room then the fund should be known
as the Klla Harper Cohen fund.
The recent death of the widow has re
reased the bequest and in accordance
with the erms of the will Eleanor S.
Cohen has sent toA. P. Flegel, her at
torney, a check for 8 10. 000.
The trustees of the hospital express
the hope that the Cohen gift will be an
inspiration to others who have accumu
lated a fortune in Portland -to make like
bequests.

JURY URGES HASTE
ii
ON NEW
HOSPITAL
Condemnation of the present
county hospital building : and the
necessity of hastening the comple
tion of one unit of the new build
ing, Is urged in a special report of
the Multnomah grand' jury to the
board of county commissioners. The
report follows:
"The county grand jury made an of
ficial visit on Saturday, the nineteenth,
to the county hospital at the corner of
Second and Hooker streets and were
given every opportunity for observation,
and were very much surprised to- find
that Multnomah county had no better
building for the present housing of its
sick, 'pie building is an old residential
property: and entirely unsuited in every
way for the purpose to which it is now
used, and from the construction of the
interior it is in our opinion 'a serious
fire risk, and we shudder to think what
the result would be in case of a fire.
All of the rooms are very much over
crowded and it must at times be a
serious problem to those conducting the
work of the institution.
"We "found everything clean and tidy
and, with the limited and irregular
space and the poor working conditions,
the staff cannot be too highly com
mended ; for its efforts in caring for
those under its charge and looking after
their comfort, as at times it must' be
very discouraging to have to work un
der the primitive conditions they have
got to put up with. It would certainly
be a useless waste of money to attempt
any repairs or improvements in the
present building and every effort should
be made to hasten the completion of
one unit of the new building, even if
necessary to appeal to the public spirit
of the people of the county, as surely,
if the actual conditions could be brought
before them, a hearty and generous .re
sponse' would be made."
