MORNINGSIDE IS
RAPPED BY STASER
(Anchoraeg Times)
Back from escorting two insane per
ons to the privately-owned sanitar
ium near Portland, Ore., where Alas
kans who have been adjudged insane
are ‘‘treated” under the contract sys
tem, Harry I. Staser, deputy marshal,
said today he would rather attend a
man’s funeral than to place him in
Morningside. Mr. Staser returned to
Anchorage yesterday.
Deputy Staser said that the unfor
tunate inmates of the Morningside
hospital, which is operated by Dr. W.
W. Coe. are herded together like sheep
and that their care seems to be a sec
ondary consideration of the manage
ment of the sanitarium.
“Right now there are 27” unfortu
nate Alaskans in Morningside,” said
Mr. Staser, and “very few of them ev
ery come out. The government pays
$48 per month, per patient for the
care of these northerners, but any vis
itor to the sanitarium can see that
something is radically wrong with the
institution. Whether it is the con
tract system or the superintendent, or
both, I don’t know, but I would rather
bury a man than send him to Doctor
Coe’s place.
NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that bids
will be received until 5 o’clock p.
m. April 14, 1924, at the office of
the Municipal Clerk of the T r.vn of
Seward, Alaska, for the auditing of
tile accounts of the offices of said
town for the year 1923.

Train No. 601, south, sideswiped a

projected. Thatcher’s left arm was
bruised and cut and he suffered deep
lacerations of the face. The accident
is attributed to carelessness on the
part of the ditcher crew in failing to
see that the plank would not clear
the main line. The accident occurred
about a quarter of a mile north of
Mile 88. Thatcher was given first aid
treatment at Tunnel and relieved at
that point by fireman Beebe.
