volumes for the demand and apprecia-
tion for such an institution in Water
town and again the Leader predicts
great things for st. Mary's hospital.
AS is familiar to the readers of the
Leader, the plan was laid and carried
out by Drs. G. J. Habhegger and L.
F. Shinnick of this city, and DIR.
Eichelberg uf ReesevIlle, who in their
efforts have succeeded admirably.
Although trifie tardy, representa-
tive of the Leader paid a visit to the
institution Monday evening and was
highly pleased with his observations
and as a citizen takes a pride in this
newly launched institution so patent
to the general welfare of the city and
surrounding country. The sights that
greeted the eyes of the Leader were
the personIfcation of neatness and
comfort.
To begin with, the hospital is To-
Gated in the building formerly known
as the Shiff1er residence on Main street.
Prior to tie opening of the hospital,
the building was remodeled. A more
desirable site could not have been Sc
lected. The lot is high and dry.
affording most excellent drainage.
Not only does the property present a
pretty sight, but it affords one of the
prettlest views in the city. The
downstairs is devoted to a pretty lobby
and reception room, nurses rooms, a
three ward and the kitchen. Up
stairs there are two wards with two
beds and one with single bed, max
ing twelve beds in all for the accom-
modation of patients. On the second
floor is also the operating rooms with
tile flooring and enamel walls and
ceiling and in the glare of the many
electric lights is almost as light as
day. This room is equipped with all
the modern appliances and conven-
fences known to art of surgery and
10 certainly credit to the institution
The operating table, is the newest
design. The cost of equipping this
room was over S7OO.O0 Off from
the operating room are two large
sterilizing machines, thus making the
sanitary conditions as near perfect as
possible. There is also an instrument
case and Instrument table. One great
convenience of this room is the fact
that it is equipped with hot and cold
boiled water and hot and cold cistern
water. In fact the appointments are
of the very best and most complete
The different wards of the hospita
are named in honor of the donors
The three bed ward on the first floor is
known as the Stone ward. Up stairs
there are the "LittIe Joe." Schweit-
zer and Eagle wards. At present
there are four nurses, a nurse girl
and cook employed.
Again we repeat that some idea Of
the popularity of the hospital is shown
in the fact that since its opening
there have been thirteen operative
case and already four Of these cases
have returned home.
Following is list of donations that
have been made by public spirited
citizens of the city:
l gas range, undividing pillar
dining room table and six chairs; l
couch bed, iron bed, parlor chair,

We point with pride to the fact
that under the democratic admins

affairs OF the county during the
past two years have been admin.
istered on such economic lines that
all of her current obligations have
been met and for the first time in

also, to pass such laws as will reg

Realizing the fact that the re

Realizing that the county has
come TO that point Of advancement
where her financial condition will
admit and our needs demand bet

VOTERS SHOULD Be CAREFUL

1t is admitted by all, no matter
of what political party, that the
affairs Of Graham county are in far
better condition today than ever
before. made so by democratic
officials The democrats certainly
want the board of supervisors to
continue democratic and for the
assessors office and clerk Of the
board to be controlled by d. mo
crat.
Occasionally you hear people in
the valley talk of supporting tw'
valley men for supervisors, one
democrat and one republican,
simply because they are both local
men. In the east end of the
county is the same condition, only
for the two local men up thore,
one democrat and one republican

Of the two republicans very prob

stance, should the local republican
candidate from the valley receive
a strong democratic vote here and
the entire republican strength and
the republican nominee from the
east end should receive a strong
dem cratic vote up there, with the
solid republican vote they would
both be elected.
