W Allen has been the name with the Grand county hospital for lor th the thelast thelast last thirty years and no one man has ever done so ao much to keep a thing going as has Dr Allen with the hospital We are arenow arenow arenow now very fortunate In having havinga a good number of medical men In town Dut But there were times and nd everyone can remember when we all had to depend on Dr Allen for our needs I think that we all owe him much more than we can pay and the very least we can do Is pay tribute to him through the new hospital hospi hospi- tal tat without hesitation It is a real pleasure to see the condition of U.
