NEW BUILDING
FOR HOSPITAL
HAYES PARK HOTEL WILL BE
REMOVED AND MODERN
BRICK STRUCTURE BUILT FOR
MEMORIAL INSTITUTION.

The Ellen Hayes Memorial hos
pital in Ely, is to start its existence
in new building, designed especial
ly for the purpose. This is the de-
cision of Bishop Scanlan as the re-
suit of his recent visit here when he
made thorough inspection of the
Hayes property, bequeathed for a
hospital, and decided that it would
not be expedient to remodel the pres
ent building, now occupied as the
Hayes Park hotel. Accordingly, the
bishop has had a new set of plans
drawn, from which the hospital will
be constructed
The plans under consideration call
for a one story brick building, with
concrete pilasters, and a basement
under half of the structure. There
will be twenty private rooms, twelve
wards containing two beds each, a
maternity ward and a large operat-
ing room for surgical work. The
heating plant, kitchen, dining room,
pantry, etc, will be installed in the
basement. The ground plan of the
building, will be U-shape.
This will admit of large court in
the center, with an entrance from
the street. From the court an inner
hall extending around the wards,
will separate the wards from the
private rooms. The operating room
will be a model of its kind, finished
in tile and equipped with an X-ray
machine and all the necessary ap-
paratus and fittings for the purpose
designed. The hospital when COM
pleted can easily accommodate fifty
patients without crowding. and it is
proposed to provide quarters for
conyaleseents in some of the other
buildings adjacent to the main hos
pital Ii will not be necessary to
disturb the property now occupied
by the University club. The hotel
will probably be moved to another
location.
Bids for the construction of the
hospital will soon be opened, and it
is expected to have the institution
ready for occupancy during the COM
ing fall
In preparing the plans, Bishop

PROGREssIyEs ORGANIZE.

There was largely attended
meeting last night in the Record
building, of the Ely Progressive Re-
publicans, and plenty of enthusiasm
was manifested in support of the
Roosevelt candidacy and the coming
convention at Chicago. The meeting
organized by eleeting H. A. Comins
chairman, and N. II. Chap1n sec
retary, and after a discussion of
general nature as bearing on the
sense of the meeing, it was moved to
proceed with the election of eight
delegates to attend the convention at
Reno. July 23rd. The following dele
gates were elected:
James Ryan. r. r. Ives, n. A.
Leonard, E. w. Hulse, A. C. Bragg.
James e. Murphy, David Mclean,
William E. Billings. This concluded
the principal business of the evening
and the meeting adjourned subject to
call. For the past several days a
petition has been in circulation and
quite generally signed, asking the
committee on credentials at the con-
vention in Chicago, in August to seat
II. A. Comins, Sardis Summerfield,
and George Springmeyer as delegates
to the Progressive Republican con-
yention, from Nevada. This will un-
doubtedly be done, and the Reno con-
vention will ratify the action. The
petition is circulated because of the
lack of time necessary to hold the
primaries.

Ely Very Much On the Map.

The Literary Digest of recent date,
contains a map of the United States
tinental automobile routes through
in which are SHOWN two trans-con-
Ely. The Motor Field of Denver, in
a similar map, also distinguishes Ely
as the point of division to Los An
geles and California. This natural
ly means a vide range OF advertis
ing for Ely. as other similar maps
are being issued throughout the
country, while the constantly in
creasing number of automobiles
through here is evidence that Ely
is "on the way" and here to stay.
The average auto tourist is one OF
the best advertising mediums. and
citizens should see to 1t that the
auto travellers find conditions here
Of nature to make them wish to
extend their stay and come again.

reasons, but nevertheless has had a
successful course District Superin-
tendent Lightfoot was teacher until
the arrival of Miss Anna j. Rieye,
from New Mexico, who has since
been in charge and given the best of
satisfaction.
1t is a cause of considerable regret
that in all probability there will be no

the number of pupils required by law,
Miss Rieve Is considering an offer
from the normal school in Virginia
City, but Is not fully decided as to
whether she will accept it,

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Bald Headed Men

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 What is it. if you had it, you would not take the world for 1t: but you would not have 1t for the world? It is a bald head.
 am puzzled to know why it is there are so many baldheaded men and so few bald headed women. Perhaps sA ae lady sclen- tist might be able to tly explain this mystery.
 There must be some sensible reasons for this notable fact We know that 1t is old age that brings gray hairs, but l have seen some boys and girls with streaks of gray hair, and heard of people turning gray all at once from fright.
 | believe that some of the main causes of the disease of the scalp are lack of at tention, and wearing close fitting hats. The greater percentage of baldheaded men appear to me to be among the. class of brain workers rather than among the class of manual laborers.
 l have seen some men and women who had lived such clean and natural lives that their health and happiness seemed to be perfect and complete, having such eie- gant manners and being so beautiful In their faces that they seemed to come to us from another planet.
 As a general rule, baldheaded men are not sought after by the young and beau- tiful maidens that should be an induce ment to them to look more carefully to the preservation of their hirsute adornment, besides they stand very much in need of it in fly time. I. LAWLER DARBY.

Oberdorfer Suggests Remedy
 For The Congested Dockets

' When asked yesterday what he thought should be done in this coun- ty to relieve the congested condition of the criminal docket, A. Leo Ober- dorfer, one of the leading attorneys of the Birmingham bar, gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 Ut seems to me- said Mir. ober- dorfer, that some means should be provided to stop the institution of friv- olous prosecutions in misdemeanor cases and second to secure trial of all misdemeanor cases within two or three days after the arrest
 Like the municipal court of Chi cago the Birmingham court of common pleas has demonstrated that without fees to clerks or other officers court can be efficiently, speedily and impar- tially administered. This field of use fulness of this court can be enlarged and nearly all misdemeanor cases dis posed of therein. The supreme court held in passing on the constitutionality of the Fuller bill that in such court all misdemeanors could be tried if the right of appeal to jury therefore was secured without bond and demand for a jury trial being promptly made or waived.
