was fully equipped for the position
she assumed at the beginning of this
work in Oregon; and in Miss Jennie
Johnston, the management has Sc
cured a most efficient head nurse.
Dr. Smith with an enviable reputa-
ton as physician in Salem for MANY
years, although recently appointed
head of the institution, has done
much for its improvement. A poul-
try ranch has been established and
already there are one thousand
chickens. A well is being drilled: a
thousand rods of wire fencing laid
and a four thousand dollar cow barn
has been contracted for.
We're sufficient funds available
much needed permanent walks
would be laid and a very necessary
hospital erected At present there is
no place provided for CONTAGIOUS di-
seases and if such became epidemic,
results might be disastrous. In ap-
propriating twenty-five thousand dol
lars for new building, the legisla-
ture quite overlooked the inadequacy
OF the small amount appropriated for
the maintenance of the school during
the coming two years. Two hundred
inmates have filled the institution to
capacity limit; between sixty and
seventy are already on the waiting
list.
The appropriation of last legisla-
ture will build a girls dormitory.
Although regular visiting hours are
from ten until twelve in the morn
ing and from two until four in the
afternoon, Sundays are excepted, the
door is always open to the public.
DR.. Smith invites inspection and visi-
tors will always find courtesy and
hospitality awaiting them.
