THE ALASKA WEEKLY
ALREADY IN THE FRONT RANK
We are proud to inform our many Alaskan friends that the
Editorial Staff of the ALASKA WEEKLY, during the past 60
days has been called upon to contribute to the Convention
Number of the Northwest Mining Truth; has furnished a se
ries of articles on Alaska to the Christian Science Monitor;
was the only paper published in Seattle which was quoted in
the Literary Digest’s comment on the Presidential Speech in
Seattle, and has been frequently quoted on Alaskan subjects
in many other nationally known and circulated publications.
We feel that in establishing a newspaper capable of gaining
such recognition that we are making rapid strides toward the
attainment of our principle objective—that of giving Alaska’s
marvelous resources the type of publicity to which their
magnitude entitles them.

SITKA TRIBUNE STARTS MOVE
FOR CARE OF ALASKA INSANE
(Sitka Tribune)
There are now at Mornlngside Sani
tarium near Portland, Oregon, 264 in
sane persons committed from Alaska,
cared for under contract with the In
terior Department of the Federal gov
ernment. The contract for caring for
and treating these inmates is upwards
of $50 each per month.
Advertisements for bids, on a new
contract, will be published prior to
January 1, 1924. These bids will be
for a contract beginning in January,
1925. Our unfortunates should be
brought home and cared for in the
land of their own choice, in the pio
neering of which they sacrificed their
health and all.
They can be cared for and treated
in Alaska as economically as in the
i States The present cost of transpor
! taMon to the States would be saved,
as well as transportation for officials
and guards.
There are almost 100 Native Insane
now at Morningside. For these, at
lease, provision should be made in
; the land of their birth. There will be
Infinitely greater hope for their recov
ery if restored to their native climate
and surroundings.
The Sitka Hot Springs Sanitarium
’s unsurpassed in such natural re
,j sources as mild climate, mineral wa
i ters, scenic beauties, and easy trans
portation facilities all the year round.
All these make it an ideal location
for an institution of this kind.
When the Admiral Watson sailed
westward Wednesday night, it left
Purser Davis behind, the popular offi
cial missing the boat by about six
feet, and not being missed until the
vessel was out of the Narrows. Mr.
Davis had business in town and the
ship in the meantime moved to the
I fish dock. When the half hour whis
tle was blown he hurried for the
wharf, but the ship was just pulling
out into the stream and the wind
prevented his shouts being heard. He
got in communication with the boat
by wireless, however, and will be
picked up on the way back.
