PENDLETON MEN
RUN RAILWAY HOSPITAL

The following interesting article
from the Portland Oregon of recent
date is of especial interest to Pen
dleton for the reason that the hospital
referred to is the receiving hospital
for all accidents and cases of sick
ness occurring in construction camps
of the Deschutes railroad and is un-
der the management of DR.. Eldred B.
Waffle, formerly of Pendleton, as
Medical superintendent of the Ore
gon Railway hospital service, and J.
d. Boyd, well-known in this city,
where he Is a member of Co. L, o. N.
G., in the nurse in charge:
The Deschutes road has at Grass
Valley well equipped hospital, with
80 beds, nurses and a resident doctor,
besides two doctors who make weekly
visits to the camps.
The maximum number that the hos
pital has held at one time up to the
present is %. For the most part the
cases have been those of men blown
up through their own carelessness by
blasts or struck with flying rocks. In
many of the later instances curiously
enough, the rocks that have done the
damage have been thrown from shots
on the opposite side of the river.
In regard to this an amusing in
stance is related of an exchange of
damage bills between contractors
whose camps lay opposite. An Oregon
Trunk blast, it seems sent a shower
of small stones across the Deschutes
and through the tents there situated.
Immediately a bill for 800 damage
was paid. The next day, however, a
coyote shot on the Hartman side,
slightly overcharged, dropped a ton
or two Of boulders upon the cook
shack of the Great Northern camp.
Thereupon the debtors of the pre-
vious occasion turned the tables by
presenting a damage bill for $160.
How that $50 balance will be evened
up remains to be seen.

Colonel Roosevelt deserves hearty

Dewey showed the importance of hav-
ing as much system as possible in car
ing for visiting delegations, also that of
handling such a crowd is tremendous
proposition.
at seems to me particularly happy
that this is to be strictly non partisan
affair. Politics should not enter into it
in any way and l don't believe it will.
Roosevelt is undoubtedly the mo st pop.
