Andrew Holman, who is always
untiring in his efforts to provide
fdr the welfare of the natives of
this country, lws started an agita
tion which may result in the es
tablishment of a hospital and dis
pensatory at Copper Center. Such
an institution would be a God
Bend to the natives and whites as
Well. Mr. Holman has interested
Bishop Rowe in the plan as evi
denced by the following letter:
‘“Mr. A. Holman,
U. S. Commisstonerf
Copper Center, Alaska.
Bear Sir:—In acknowledging the
receipt of your esteemed letter I
want to congratulate you, in the
first place for untiring efforts you
are making on behalf of the devel
opment of Alaska, and the best In
terests of the people, white or na
tive.
In regard to your request for the
establishment of a mission at Cop
per Center, with a nurse and dis
pensatory in connection, I fully
sympathize with the same, and as
far as it lies in my power I will
endeavor to meet the request. I
recognize the great necessity of
providing some means for the re
lief and aid for the natives, espec
ially in your precinct. Our branch
of Christ's church is doing all it
cun for the people of Alaska, both
White and native. With all our
OHsmoBs and seven hospitals we
do-not meet the great needs of the
country. I’ am distressed that we
cwnnct do more, hut we seem to
have reached the limit of our abil
ity. It would be a joy to mv heart
if congress could but see its way at
this juncture to letrda hand in this
most needful work. Unless it clots
so the native population must go
on to its pitiful destruction, largely
suffering, dying without the aid
which I believe our nation is sa
credly responsible for. Even the
Russians in their time made some
medical provisions for the native
people. We have n^t done this.
But I live in the hope that our
government may yet see its way to
doing something ere it he too late.
In my opinion Congress would lul
fil a merciful mission, were it to
establish at different points in
Alaska, medical officers with sup
plies of medicines and aids so tiiat
the p.eople far and near- to these
points might be aided in their needs
and sufferings. Already we have
passed through several epidemics
among the natives and have as far
as we could saved many villages
from total destruction.. Our nurses
have travelled hundreds of miles,
summer and winter, to the relief
of the afflicted people, hut so
much more could have been done
had tlie government established
central supply and relief stations
from which we could have drawn
the proper medicines. Take Cop
per-Center as an illustration: It
would mean a blessing to many
were the government to establish
there a medical otiicer. It ought
to do this. I am prepared to es
tablish a-nurse for this point but
it would he inadequate without
such an officer.
The natives are not dependent;
they do not want support from the
government, except in softie cases,
nor would it he wise to give it, but
they do need what 1- have already
pointed out. It is true that their
lives are being made very hard
and distressing, because white men
are occupying their long inherited
land and home and hunting
grounds. It stands to reason that
they should in consequence, re
owve some protection, attention
and aid from the government.
1-nave nut touched the suriace
of this great (pies'ion and have
made a mere suggestion as to the
immediate action Congress should
take upon the same. You are at
liberty to use this as you please, in
your creditable and worthy efforts
on behalf of the people in Alaska
op quote me as just as you see it
an •per to do so.
Commending your good and
unselfish work, with my deepest
wishes for your success
I am, Sincerely yours,
P. T. Rowe,
(Bishop of Alaska.)
