GOVERNOR URGES
INSANE ASYLUM
Annual Report of Governor Strong
Says Alaska's Insane Should be
Cared for in Territory.
In his annual report Governor
Strong urges establishment of an in
sane asylum in the north. The report
states that the number df Alaskan
Insane under treatment at the Morn
lngside Sanitarium, near Portland,
Oregon, on June 30, 1915, was one
hundred and eighty. Of these one
hundred and' sixty-five were males
and twenty-four females. During the
last quarter there were twelve pa
tients received at. Morningside, five
discharged, three died and three es
caped.
Governor Strong condemns the con
tract system for caring for the insane
of the territory as bad no matter with
what fidelity the provisions of the
contract are carried out. The sys
tem, from both humane and ethical
standpoints, is unsound. The report
states that the argument that the cli
mate of Alaska is too rigorous is
without foundation in fact, as it will*
be admitted by the disinterested that
climate alone will not effect a cure
of mental diseases.
The report of the Mornlngside San
itarium company for the quarter end
ing December 31, 1916, covering the
care of Alaskan insane during that
period shows that* five patients died,
two eloped and one was released. The
patients who died were Harry Laud,
Arthur V. James, J. T. Nelson, John
Francisco and Andrew N. Hale. J.
D. Sickler was discharged as cured
and Oliver Stoutholl and Frank Lifts
escaped. Following is a summary of
the report:
Number of patients remaining un
der care at end of September
quarter—168 males; 26 fe
males . 193
Number of patients received dur
ing the December quarter—3
males, 2 females. 6
Number of patients discharged
during the December quarter,
1 male. 1
Number of patients died during
the December quarter, 6 males 6
Number of patients escaped and
not apprehended during Decem
ber quarter—1 male. 1
