New Institution for the Care
of the Veterans at YOuntville
Home Is Now Completed
QUARTERS FOR THE SICK
Building Is Modern and Pic
turesque i'll Style With Ac-
commodationS in Abundance
QUARTERS FOR THE SICK
Special Dispatch to The Call.

YOUNTVILLE, Feb. 5.-At the
Veterans Home here an up-to-date
hospital has just been completed.
The Legislature at it's session of 1901
appropriated for the erection of this
building $4,000. In 1903 it made a
similar appropriation. only $4,000 of
which has been used, leaving a bal
ance of $4,000 still available for the
construction of phthisical ward.
This new institution for the sick has
been in course of construction for
some months and is in every way an
ideal abode for the invalids at the
home. The hospital is of modern
workmanship and is based upon the
pavilion type. The exterior of the
building is finished in cement concrete,
upon metal lath, and is topped off
above the main cornice with Spanish
terra Gotta tile. The character of the
material employed insures a uniform
temperature throughout the building.
An ample amount of light and un-
obstructed circulation of air are pos
sible throughout the building, as it is
a group of semi-detached buildings
or wings. The east and west wings
are ward pavilions and accommodate
on the main floor thirty-five beds and
on the basement floor thirty beds each.
In these wards on the basement floor
will be placed convalescents and men
too old and feeble to be in the quar-
ters but able to go up and down stairs
to meals and walk independently
a hn rpntfn6c IN thio floor
there is also ward for men confined
entirely to their wheel chairs.
Throughout the basement floor all in
clines are graduated. Thus the in
valids in the chairs will be at liberty
to wheel themselves around as they
please. There are long arcades in
front of the basement story, where
these sufferers will be able to push
their chairs in and out when the
weather is fine and look on the beauti-
full surrounding scenery. This lower
floor also affords a bright, coy din
ing-room for these helpless invalids
and is connected by a food elevator
with the kitchen above. Besides the
wards the basement story contains the
stewards office, male employees quar-
ters and a splendid reading and smok-
ing room.
At right angles to the ward paviiions
and separating them is the administra-
ton pavilion, the main floor consist
ing of the medical directors and as
sistant's Office, operating, sterilizing,
dressing, waiting and oculist's rooms.
Directly across the hall from the ope-
rating room is the surgical ward,
where there is every facility for taking
the best care of the patients. The
basement and the main floors each
have two octagonal solariums, con-
Meeting the wards with the administra-
ton pavilion. The second or top floor
is we'll finished and will be used as
quarters for the medical staff

were picked up. Although no one was
on either, the RATS were brought TO

WHERE THE OIL GOES.
Some additional details are supplied
from a reliable source as follows:

From Jennings Qouisiana) 29S.so0 barrels
were shipped during the year 19O5 by rail-
Combining the rail shipments with the water
shipments the total from Texas and louisiana
ields amounted to IA, 989, Az barrels. The rec
ord shipments by the Kansas city southern
Railroad for the year was not obtalnaole nor
a complete record of barge shipments from the
Jennings field. OF the rail shipments the
Southern Pacific handled from Gladys Spindle
Toni 10 667 cars: from Beaumont. 1858 cars;
from Sour Lake 1889 cars from Jennings.
Ig2S cars Shipments from Sour Lake were
rot started until July, 1903 The Santa re
moved 3sS3 cars from Beaumont In COM
putinE the Southern Pacific shipments from
GLADYS and Beaumont an average car capacity
OF 200 barrels is used Most OF the system
cars shipped from Gladys and Beaumont are
of SEQ barrels capacity. while the private lire
cars vary from 160 to 200 barrels. At Sour
Lake the 600 barrel system cars predominate
The same applies TO Jennings. The Santa re
sy stem cars are Of 225 barrels capacity. 1t is
difficult TO figure the complete production of
the various Texas fields for the year 1908 owing
t. the great number OF operators and diversity
OF interests. but estimates are are stated as Ioi-
Lake 1900, 900 barrels: Jennings. 100000 bar

production. I4.1Oo. GOO barrels. Estimates OF
5. .OOo, 600 barrels. not including the 1.5Oe.OOO
barrels in Southern Pacific tanks OF Texas OIL
in storage at Eastern stations.
