Stewart, a son. Southern Oregon is now to have a hospital and sauitarium and it is due to the progressiveness of Grants Pass that this long needed institution has been secured. As conditions have been.any one seriously hurt or in need of surgical attention had to be sent to a hospital in Portland or San Fran cisco. The long, fatiguing journey has often of itself caused a long delay in the recovery of the patient and in many instances been the known cause of the death of the in valid. This journey also enatiled a big expense as at least one attendant was always necessary and very fre quently a physiciau had to accom pany the patient. Then to this wss added the heavy charges of the city hospital and tho big fees of the operating surgeon. Experience has demonstrated that the expense of sending a patient from Gran's Pass or other Southern Oregon towu to a Port- laud or San Francisco hospital is sel dom below 1250 and it is mure often 90 to f'OO and instances have been known in which the total expenses have reached $1000. Theu to this bur den on the family is add- d the separa tion that has to be endured from the sick one, who can uot be cheered up and encouraged during the long, weary days of the convalescent period with visits from the home folks and friends. Southern C regon people having relatives or friends in a hos pital at Grants Pass can readily aud at little expense visit them and take them home delicacies and new clothing aud other things. The Grants Pass General Hospital now in active operation, aud though having- accommodations for but IX patients it is as complete in every convenience aud comfort as is the best city hospital. Temporary quarters have been secured on the sicoud floor iu the Hansen brick block, two doors cast of Thomas & O'Neill's fnruiture store on Fast G street. The rear section has beeu fit ted up into two larg, airy,, well lighted wards, one for men and the other for women patients. The bed steads are of the regulation hospital pattern, white enameled utid readily kept cleau and this obtains iu both wards where every precautiou is taken to have tlte inott perfect sceptic conditions. The front teeth n of the floor is also divided into two rooms. One is a well iurnh'licu ollice and reoeption room aud the other is the operating room. This room is fitted with the latest improved opera ting table and all surgical appli ances. Varnished linoleum is on the floor and the walls are so that they can be made ahsolntely aeeptic and oleau. The middle feci ion of the floor is devoted to lath aud toilet rooms and fcr wardrobes and storag purposes. 1 lie Hospital is miner tne cnarge or Miss Mary E. Webb, w ho has been en gaged as matron. Miss Welib is from Portland, where she has been a head nurse fot several years iu Good Samaritan Hospital and she comes with the highest of recommendations from the Hospital aud from Portland surgeons. Her specialty is surgical work, though she is thoroughly posted ou all classes of hospital and general nursing. In connection with the hospital a nurse's training school will be conducted and two lady ap prentices have already entered. The training will he as thorough and enni plete as that given in Hie city hos pitals and graduates will be able to hold a position in any hopsital. The nurses training dcpaitiueiit ill he under the geueral supervision of a board of lad) managers composed of Mrs W. C. Hale, Mr. W. M. Hair, Mrs, N. P. Dcdge, Mrs. Arthur Cou klin, Mrs. J. D. Fry.

This committee is coin- posed of C. G. Auieut, If. I.. Gilkey, T. P. Cramer. L. II. Hall, L. L. Juwill, II C. Kinuey, John II. Will iams. The direct niuuaiiciiient of the hospital will be by Dr. H.

A private residence has been secured as a lying-in ward and such ratienls will be given the t st of at tention by a skilfoll aocouchrr aud a nurse having siecial traiuing for sncb work. The service, both surgi cal aud hospital will in every lespcrt be equtl to the best to he had ill the cities and therhargis will he ras in- able and within the means of all.

Rogue River Valley beyond, and in the dis tance the foothills of the Siskiyou nionntaius. The entire grounds are covered with a fine growth of oak, madrona, pine and a thick growth of nianxanita interspersed with sweet briar roses and other bushes. A com petent landscape gardner will be em ployed to trim out the grove aud open driveways and walks and to plant out rare shrubs and flowering plants. It is expected to erect, this summer one section of the' hospital building and to then enlarge it as the iustitntion grows.

Grants Pass is now certain to have railroad to the Illinois Valley and : eventually on to the Coast ut Ciesceut City. .While the route has not teen definitely settled, yet it is certain that it will cross Applegate river near V'il derville and follow up Slate creek mid across the low diviifc. which with a 2000 foot tunnel and to made on a grade the heaviest not to exceed 3 1-10. er lent ami tint inly lor a slior! distance, to Clear cteek, and down that stream and Deer trees to the Illinois river. The route would te by Selma aud Kerby aud at the forks of the II 1 inois river it would I much, one loud going to the Tatilma smelter and on to the 1 reston' 1 tak copier district. Ihe other I rant h would go up the right folk of (he Illinois and sircts the divide to rmith river and thioigh the rich mining aud big timber belt to Orescent City. Ihere is almost a certainty that a branch line will le legr.n this J ear tu leave the maiu line this side of the Applegate river and follow up that valley to the famous Blue Ledge cop jer district and alio tup the gold min ing district of that valley and the big bialy of timber that is 011 the foothills f the Siskiyou mountains. Within auother year it is quite likely that the woik w ill be begun of extending a ranch line down Iingne river to the Guliie copier and gold mines and to lower Hoguo river where there is line colli 1 rnl et ts and a large timl erarca. Another j nd able brunch line would be down the III uois riier to the big copper deposits ot that section. For J ears this rail mud rojcct 1ms been under consideration by the nti aons of Grunts l'ass and each year the execttlou was that mine company or capitalists wot-Id bnild tin) road. I his bote npl eared but little mora of being realized at the beginning of tho present yenr than at the oietiing of any previous year for a deuido past. With blanch roads being built 111 every section of the Novt Invest, aim me r.eighborii'g town of Medford having one branch road in I rolitablu o era- tion, a second read under course of nstructioj to make trihutav to that hurtling town the tipper L'ogue river loiinlry and the Crater Lake tourirt trulllo, mid now taking up in an en ergetic milliner the extending .of the Jacksonville railroad ou to thu Apph- gate Valley, and eventually on tu the llllinois Valley, that held to be tho special trade district of Grunts Push, thu business men of this city lecniue coin inccil that it was up to tin 111 to lake up their mil load projeit and put it Into 111 tl vitv. This determination. led to the forming of n local couil liny and to soliciting stock mid securing right-of-way mid terminal grounds for their 1 roposed railroad. 'Ihe r ui initleo ( f orgiiiili'iilion, composed of li. G. Smith, II. L. Gilkey, L. I,. Jewell, II. C. Kinney and Judge J. O. Booth is milking gissl progress in in terest ing capitalists, wlin are railroad builders to takejip the rojc t and put in the roiul. In the meantime, not tu wait on others, it is imposed to mise not lesH t tin 11 fi1.! CO in Grunts Puss and a liberal sum from mine ami tim ber owners along the route of the road and from the farmers and otheis who will profit hy the building of this rail road. The soliciting committee, which is composeil of II. L. Ililke), II. C Kinney, Joseph Moss and I'd Lister, is having the most eiicimrngiug sneers, and witli the close ot thin week they will have fully fo.oo.) subscribed, lis Ihe result of their first 10 days work. 1 ho soliciting will be continued to raise Grants l'nsa' o(),fl 0 at the ear liest dntii possible, after which the committee will I ring Ihe matter to the attention of those interested along the proposed routes of the railroiial. It is Imped tu have the right-of-wuy and terminal grounds set uted nml thu money arranged for through the salo of stiH'ks and l oiuls aud that hy May ac tual work will have I ecu begun on grading mid by Fall the railroad will la- coinpleteil at h ast as far as Love's Station, so that during tho Winter months ti e tunnel through Hiivk hill ill v ido rim be coinplotid 'I hen tho following Spring the rmid will bo pushed through Illinois Valley to the I'nkiliiui and other copper mines and oh to the coast.
