Pioneer Hospital
Site Dedicated
At Ceremony
Prineville, Dec. 21 Natural
phenomena were kindly Sunday
afternoon, when some 150 resi
dents ol Prineville and vicinity
gathered atop a level bench of
land at the north edge of this city
to dedicate a 12-acre plot as the
site ol uie Pioneer Memorial hos
pital. While the juniper-covered
hills forming a north backdrop
to the scene were rendered more
rugged by the clinging snow, a
prevailing chill wind died, and the
crook county nigh school band,
with Wilbur Peterson directing,
struck up the "Star Spangled
Banner."
Climax of the dedication cere
monies came when Asa W. Bat
tles, CrooK county judge, handed
to J. F. Daggett, chairman of the
organization, a deed to the plot,
declaring it was fitting that the
property, part of an early day
homestead, should be dedicated
to the memory of pioneers and
to the cause of humanity.
History Given
Reciting some of the history of
the plot, Judge Battles cited that j
it is a part of the original 160
acres on whicli John M. Campbell
received his homestead patent on
December 10, 1881, a year before
Crook was separated from Wasco
county. Later the property was
sold lor SJ.uuo to uaniei rvme
and Samuel J. Newsom, eventu
ally Newsome buying Prine's half-
interest for $1,300. It was platted
as a subdivision ol the city ol
Prineville, but did not prove popu
lar, and the plat was vacated in
1915. In 1934 Crook county took
u over on a tax loreclosure.
Judge Battles said that the
county had frequently had an op
portunity to sell the laiftl for a
substantial sum, but declared that
destiny had seen fit that it was
to remain to give an opportunity
for the county to provide it as a
gift for the hospital site.
To Build March 1
Daggett in his brief address,
characterized the recent success
ful efforts of Prineville, Crook
county and residents of the Mitch
ell district of Wheeler county in
raising $282,680, a tribute to the
free enterprise of Americans. Ho
said that architects have drafted
final plans and specifications and
that the association will be ready
to start construction of the mod
ern hospital by March 1.
With H. S. Mersercau, chairman
of the hospital association's public
relations committee, presiding,
other members of the program
included ,an invocation by Rev.
B. M. Rogness, " pastor , of the
Prineville Lutheran church: an
other number by the high school
band; and a benediction by Rev.
Father McTeigue, pastor of St.
Joseph's Catholic church. Pho
tographic records of the ceremony
were made by Van Hcnkcl, dean
of men of the Crook county high
school, and Harold Gray, banker.

Of Truman Board
Chlcaco. Dec. 21 Ui A spokes
man lor 16 strike-threatening
railroad unions said today that
"DO Der cent" of them favor rejec
tion of the settlement proposal
emergency fact-finding board.
G. E. Lelghty, president of the
Order of Railway leiegrapners,
made the statement as 1,200 rep
resentatives of the 16 unions met
to decide whether to accept the
government s settlement lormuia
in the dispute between the unions
and the nation s railroads.
Lelghty, who also is chairman
of the 16-unIon negotiation conv
mlttee. said he has received "nun.
dreds of telegrams" signed by
about 1.000 union members ex
pressing dissatisfaction with the
emergency fact finding boards
recommendations.
Centers on Four Points
Lelghty said the "dissatisfac
tion centers on four points in the
board's proposals. He said the
members feel that:
1. The recommended seven-
cent hourly wage Increase Is too
low. The unions had demanded 25
cents.
2. They should not be made to
wait until next Sept. 1 before the
recommendations take effect.
3. The recommendations
should be retroactive to last May,
when negotiations began, instead
of to last October.
4. Special recommendations
covering yardmasters and dining
car employes were "unfair.1.1
No mention was made of the
board's recommendation for a 40-
hour week in the railroad Indus
try, with Saturdays and Sundays
regarded as regular work days.
The unions had demanded the 40
hour week to replace the old 48
hour week, with premium pay for
Saturdays and Sundays.
