Of strictly local work the largest

Solano, in charge of affairs here, that
the sisters of St. Francis are almost
ready to proceed with construction of
their lon contemplated new wing.
Financial arrangements have been
made provided the cost of the work
can be brought down to $200,000 and
the architect is now busy with a revi

The plans are as outlined some months
ago by the East Oregonian and call for
a largo building immediately Joining
the St. Anthony's hospital on the east.
The addition will provide rooms for

modern in all respects. The new wing
will have a frontage of 92 feet on East
