Appeals for Condemnation.

Manitowoc.-The city council has
voted to appeal to the state rate com.
mission for immediate condemnation
of the plant of the Manitowoc Water.
works company for city purchase. The
action comes as a climax to a fight of
more than six years.
The water company, during the So
cialist administration, offered its plant
for $235,O0O, the city at that time be-
ing able TO acquire the property by
paying only $4,000 in cash and as.
Stunning the 100000 bonded indebted
ness, but the proposition was rejected.
The plant has been appraised by the
state railroad rate commission for
physical valuation at $2330O0, but it
is anticipated that the city will pay
a considerably larger price, owing to
the fact that more than $4,000 in i'm
provements have been made in the past
three years and that the company will
argue for a going value.
The city expects TO be in possession
of the plant by July /.

New Hospital Opened

DR.. W. s. Wallace has leased the w.
G. Lawrence residence. one of the finest
in Newport, and has made the necessary
changes to transform it into completely
equipped hospital.
1t is now open for the reception of pa
tients under the name of the Pend
Oreille Valley Hospital, seeking to serve
the territory embraced in the name
given 1t and asking the patronage of the
people of the valley. Mrs. E. Crawford
is superintendent of the hospital and
Miss West, surgical nurse, both gradu-
ate nurses and trained by experience tor
the work.
The hospital is equipped with modern
devices for the handling of difficult sur
gical cases. The operating room is fin
ished in white enamel and glass. In
addition there is a completely equipped
chemical and microscopical laboratory
and complete kitchen.
In the male ward there are eight beds,
with all new furnishings. In addition
there are private rooms for surgical and
obstetrical cases. The building is steam
heated and electric lighted.
The institution will issue hospital
tickets for a number of the logging
camps in this section, and is also open
for use by any of the physicians OF this
section. AS local institution, doing
away with the necessity of taking pa
tlen4s to Spokane for treatment, the
new hospital is worthy the patronage of
this section.
