while not all
of*7hf 30"~rooms Will be ready for

Drs. M. Earl Wilson and J. D. Rankin
to operate on the cases which have
been waiting.
The Coquille Hospital is -as com­

side of Portland, and the only other
hospital outside of Portland which
can boast the sound-proof walls and
the splendid equipment necessary
for the comfort of patients is thb ad­

Salem.
Nu-wood paneling of all walls, both
outer and partition, makes the hos­
pital practically sound-proof, and
even the passing of a car outside can
hardly be heard in the reception
room.
On either side of the large recep­
tion room at the south entrance are
the offices of the two doctors who
have spent thousands upon thousands
of dollars to give Coquille a com-
plete-to-the-last-word hospital.

There are seven private rooms in
the hospital, and a space not yet
made use' of on the north side of the
building, can be made into six, ad­

There is a ward for men and an-

beds, with furnishings yi keeping
