MAGNIFICENT MODERN HOSPITAL FOR OROV|LLE
CATHOLIC SISTERS ERECT IN GpMING
LARGEST AND BEST EQUIPPED HOSPITALS TO BE FOUND
ANYWHERE NORTHWEST

For some time a movement has been
on foot to induce the Catholic organi-
zatiOn to erect, maintain and operate a
general hospital in Oroville. The rep
resentatiVes of that church have rec
Ognized this as one of the most favor
ably situated towns in the northwest
for central hospital, and when the
proposition was presented to Father
Edward Griva, the priest in charge of
this district, that active and energetic
gentleman at once proceeded to take
up the matter with those who have
the establishment of hospitals and
schools in the west. AS a result of
his correspondence Father Griva met
Mother Superior M. Scolastica, Order
St Benidictine, of Millville, Saskat-
cheWan, in OrOville Saturday. A num-
Der OF citizens were called into con-
sultation and the Sister carefully
looked over the field. So favorably
the town, its central location at the
junction OF railroads, that she never
hesitated in announcing her satisfac-
ton with the project She decided at
once that the hospital will be built,
and built as soon as possible. The
site she selected is on the hill in the
west part of town, near the school
house, and within easy reach of the
depot The size of the building will
be 1SS feet front facing the town, A
feet wide, with three stories above
the basement. The material to be
used will be brick. The structure will
he modern in all appointments and
equipment. Mother Scolastica made
arrangements for taking over the Oro-
Vile hospital at an early date, which
She Will conduct until the new build
ing is ready Tor occupancy. Work on
the building will commence as soon in
the spring as frost is out of the
ground Father Griva, who is an ex-

l UNNECESSARY PROCRASTINATION

The act Of congress opening the dim
inished (south half Colville reserva-
ton was approved March %, 1906, and
take place as soon as lands were sur
yeyed, the Indians allotted and the
lands classified. The act is plain and
unequiyocal, and had the Indian de-
partment followed out it's instructions
the reservation would today be open
to settlers.
1t is just eleven years ago since the
act providing for the doing of certain
things leading up to the final opening
OF the south half of the Colville reser
yation, embraced in the southeast part
Of Olanogan and southern part of
Ferry counties, was approved by con-
gress. Government business moves in
devious ways, and unwinding red tape
IS a painfully slow process. Men have
come and men have gone since the
people up this way were first cheered
by the hopes of seeing this large and
fertile territory thrown open to settle
ment, and that hope is still deferred
as there is no evidence that the open
ing is to take place very soon. There
is no reason whatsoever why the fixed
date of opening should not have been
announced months ago, and if the US
by the authorities it will be 1916 be-
fore those who have looked with long
ing eyes upon the virgin section will
have an opportunity to secure home
steads on that reserve.
When the opening does take place
there is no authority in the act for
setting the time six months, or three
months ahead. The act specifically
states that the land is to be opened to
settlers as soon as completion of GER
tain requirements, and those require
lments have been compiled with. The
allotment of Indians was almost fin
iahed when Clair Hunt retired from
| the service last April. Since then al
| lotting has been finished so far as it
ever can be, the lands have been clas-
sihed and the report forwarded to the
department. There is absolutely moth
| ing standing in the way of opening the
reservation, so far as the public can
ascertain, unless the officials whose
duty it is to issue notice are holding
back in the hopes of securing legisla-
| ton that would curtail the amount of
land subject to entry, or tie up the
! timber in such a way as would work
a hardship on prospective settlers,
and some such a measure, it is said,
| is being advocated by the department.
The residents of the two counties di-
rectly interested in the settlement and
development of the resources of the
| Preservation should take some concert
ed action in an effort to have the res
| erv8tiou opened at the earliest pos
! sible date. and do it now. This can
| be most effectively done through Com
lmercial Clubs, or other civic organiza-
| tions, and could be aided by individual
influence. Appeals to investigate the
! cause of this protracted delay should

The comptroller Of the treasurer

banks cannot get in on the red as an

Over drawing is going to be a conven-

the comptroller says:
