One of the most needed institu
tions in town (it tlic present time
Is a hospital. Not that we have at
present any sickness, hut we are
likely to at any time and then we
will lie in a sad predicament if Rot
prepared.
It should he lmrue in mind that
the great majority of men here are
far from home. They came here
to make a competency and return,
feeing the possibilities of the coun
try they remain, and more than
likely will spend the remainder of
their days here. Some have built
homes and sent for their
families, while others contemplate
doing so, hut the great .majority
are alone, and if sickness falls to
the lot of one of them he i> entirely
dependent on the kindly disposi
tion of his neighbor or camp com
panion for the care an 1 attention
necessary for a sick man. The
Burs< s may lie willing and oblig
ing, hut being inexperienced they
are very often more harmful than
good, and the musher’s home,
where the sick may he forced to
lay up in is not always in the In st
Condition for a sick chamber, and
tbc patient is apt to linger along
in misery for a long time; whereas,
with a suitable building and trained
nurses, in conjunction witli the
doctor’s skill, a fit of sickness is
B<>t apt to fill a man with despair,
and a rapid recovery is possible.
The Episcopal church of Valdez,
under the direction of Bishop Rowe,
has offered to equip and maintain
a non-sectarian hospital if the peo
ple will furnish the building, The
ground is already secured and an
attempt'has been made to collect
the necessary funds for the struc
ture. About 1800 has been col
lected, to which the bishop has
kindly added a donation of #">00,
hut still we are short, and it is
very urgent that we raise more.
Plans have been drawn up and are
in the hands of the committee and
the building will he started as soon
as possible.
The deficiency should be made
up at once, so when the committee
calls let us he liberal.
*
Xow that the snow is melting so
rapidly,some steps should lie taken
by the council to have the streets
and alleys cleared of the garbage,
and kept clean. When the snow
disappears entirely our streets will
be in a disgraceful condition.
Ai»hes and all sorts of refuse have
been thrown out on the streets, and
as the warm weather eumes will !«•
a menace to the health of the com
munity.
A'n ordinance should lie passed
requiring all business houses to
have a receptacle for tiiis rubbish,
which could he hauled away at
intervals and dumped on the licach.
The health officer, nr some man
appointed for the purpoae, should
be given anthorty to inspect the
alleys and yards in the residence
portion of town and sec that the
property uwuers cleaned tliem up,
and keep them in proper condition.
A few precaution* h£ this kind
may save the twit from an epi- j
demic which would cost tine citizens
many times the ainomrt neceaeary
to clean up the streets and alleys.
