J'along the lower Cook Inlet or
points on the Kenai peninsula, or
j vital need for medical attention
present itself in such centers as
Seldovia and Kenai they would be
at the mercy of fate, according to
reports brought from Kenai. Kenai
has a population of more than 400
persons with an approximate of 85
children. A considerable proportion
of this population is native, or In
dian. When the Territory built a
school house at Kenai the Bureau
of Education withdrew its activities
in that vicinity. As a result some
difficult problems have arisen. Re
cently an eight-year-old native
child was discovered practically
abandoned by its mother. It had
been without food for two days. The
deputy took it under his car, fed it,
bought it clothes and sent it to
school.
The Bureau of Educati-m found
itself empowered to recognize a
voucher for the clothes, but the de
puty finds himself otherwise in
;possession of a bright little native
boy and compelled to foot the bill
for his sustenance. Efforts to have
the child admitted to the Eklutna
Industrial school failed because it is
not an orphanage and cannot ac
cept such cases.
| With the close of navigation on
Cook Inlet when the M. S. Discov
erer made its last trip this month, j
there is little opportunity for send
ing the child to the Jesse Lee Home
here in Sward, or the ornhanage at !
Bristol Bay. The condition accen- j
tuates the necessity of land com
munication with Kenai, from Sew
ard, the situation now being that it
is about 100 miles from the railro^ j
and practically isolated in winter 1
This article cites one of many
cases that might be given of thr j
distress caused by the lack of com- S
munication with the outer world. |
The community is not large enoun-* |
to adequately support a physician
and consequently there is no doc- j
tor, nurse or medical supplies here. |
Should a serious epidemic break out ‘
the entire population would be cag
ed like rats in a trap whilp ■
claimed its enormous toll. I could
name a large number of persons
who have died within the last two
years, whose lives I honestly b lie e
could have been saved could they
have had medical attenti n in tim\
Please consider that we have no
telephone, telegraph, radio or wire
less communication during the
winter season and you will be able
perhaps to realize how dangerous
our situation is.
vvc nave a man service once a
month by dog team. The trip b th
ways takes from 12 to 14 days and
the amount of mail is restricted to
500 pounds. This condition would be
completely changed with the build
ing of a road and life be made
much more pleasant could we ob- j
tain newspapers, magazines and
books during the long dark nights.

of road asked for by your petition

easy and inexpensive project as
