Holy Rosary Hospital Now Supplying one of Greatest Needs of Malheur County.

Ontario, May 9:--The Holy Rosary Hospital, which was completed on April 5th and 
turned over to the Dominican Sisters by the contractors, Mallory & Mallory, has 
already shown the necessity of such an institution in Ontario.  Not alone is 
this benefit for Ontario, but to the surrounding territory, as it has now staff 
positions and every patient is allowed to have who ever they choose to attend 
them.  Several delicate operations have been performed at the hospital by 
Ontario, Vale and outside physicians.  Those who are familiar with the hospital 
have pronounced the operating room as one of the most complete and up-to-date 
they have examined.  To recite the building of the hospital would require 
considerable space, as a great amount of work was devoted to the project both 
by the Ontario Commercial Club and the Dominican Sisters under the management 
of the Mother Superior Catherine.  

The Hospital as it stands, today, cost approximately $40,000, of which $10,000 
was donated by public spirited Malheur County people through the efforts of the 
committee appointed by the Commercial Club.  The building is three story and a 
basement, and is thoroughly equipped in every way to take care of those who 
need the attention of such an institution.  During the erection the Mother 
Superior faced many trials and difficulties but by persistent efforts, finally 
succeeded in carrying out her plans and, in fact, added many conveniences and 
improvements which were not originally planned.

It is ideally situated with an east front and large verandas where the 
convalescent patients may secure the benefits of the morning sun.  Bishop 
O’Reilly, of Baker City, has pronounced it as one of the finest buildings of 
its kind in the State and as modern as the St. Vincent Hospital in Portland.  

The Mother Superior, of the Holy Rosary hospital, left for Portland on last 
Saturday on an important business trip.
