MORNINGSIDE GETS
Insane of Northland Will Still Be
Cared for at Mt. Tabor Sanitarium,
Near Portland, Oregon.
I
- I
Notwithstanding the frequent pro
tests that have been made regarding
the care of Alaska insane at the Morn
ingside sanitarium, at Mt. Tabor, out
i side of Portland, another contract has
| just been entered into with that in
! stitution.
The Interior department recently
awarded to Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, of
Portland, the contract for caring for
the Alaska insane for the next five
years, tho contract representing in
the neighborhood of $400,000. Dr.
Coe’s bid, offered in the name of the
Sanitarium Company, was a rate of 1
$27.50 per patient per month, which |
is the same rate at which Dr. Coe !
cared for the Alaska insane for the. !
past ten years. At present there are i
184 Alaskan patients at this institu-j
tion.
There was a spirited contest over
this contract as Mrs. Coe was a rival
bidder at the figure named by Dr.
Coe. Dr. W. T. Williamson, of Port
land, also competed, his bid being
$29 per patient. It was rejected on
that account. Mrs. Coe’s bid was re
jected because it was presented by j
her personally and not on behalf of
some Institution, as required by law.
The award was given to Dr. Coe
for the fifth time, on recommendation
of the board of awards, which, in
recommending that the contract be
let to Morningside asylum reported
to Secretary Lane as follows:
"The care of the insane by sani
tarium company has been investi
gated from time to time by officers I
of this department and war depart- !
ment. it has been found that when !
Dr. Henry Waldo Coe was in abso
lute charge of the institution it was
run on proper basis and that insane
were taken care of kindly, and that
no harsh methods were invoked.”
Dr. and Mrs. Coe were in Washing
ton for ten days in connection with
this contract and appeared before the
interior department as rival bidders, j
Mrs. Coe was handicapped, however, j
by the fact that she had no institu- j
tlon in which to care for the insane, j
if she received the award. Several j
times there was an outcropping of j
the Coe family troubles which have '
been told in court in Portland, but of I
this the department took no eogni j
zance j
