ft quota of $fiS7.S2K, subscriptions of
$1,743,050 were entered, or practically
253 ptir cent of the quota, thus leading

ceived from thirteen of these towns ;
show a total assessed valuation of
$14,777,640. The rate of taxation on
assessed valuation for these towns
ranges from 17 mills to 2 per cent, the
averages being 1.7 per cent
The governor draws attention to
the building now used as an office. I
which he condemns as unsafe for or -
cupancy and which will have to he i
abandoned before severe weather sets I ;-i

Alaska's Insane
Under contract with the secretary
of the interior, the legally adjudged £•
insane of Alaska are cared for at the
Morningside hospital, near Portland, £:
Ore., the contractor lor the last four- £■:
teen and one-half years being the San
itarium Company. In all, 743 persons ji;i
have been admitted to the hospital
On June 30 there were 211 patients
In the establishment, an increase of
two over the fiscal year 1917. The
distribution was as follows: Males.
136; females, 25. There were 55 re
ceptions during the year. 37 dis- ^
charges and in deaths. **
Commencing on July 1. 191S. the i"
rat** per paid patient is $35 per month.
I his rate, however, was bused upon
conditions as of July 1. 191". and is
not an adequate compensation on
which to furnish the best of care and
subsistence and to defray the heavy
overhead expenses. Relief should he j
a Horded to the Sanitarium Company
at the earliest possible moment.
The Pioneers' Home
I he Pioneers' home is an lnstitu
Hon entirely supported by the terri
tory. Any worthy person wtjo has
been a resident of Alaska for live
years preceding, and who is from any
cause incapable of self-support, may
make application for admission to the
home. The buildings at Sitka for
merly were used as a barracks for
United States marines, are occupied
by the home, and are still tho prop
erty of the government, but title
thereto should he vested in tho terri
tory of Alaska, so that needed im
provements and additions may be
safely made. On June 30, 1918, there
were G4 inmates, as compared with
70 the preceding year; there were 22
admissions, 7 were discharged, 1 com
mitted to the asylum at Morningside.
and 18 died. Of those discharged, 3
