IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.

! At a meeting of the Anchorage
Woman’s club held at the chamber of
commerce Monday afternoon the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted and
addressed to the territory legislature:
Resolved, That the club endorse the
bill introduced in the legislature that
capital punishment be abolished.
Resolved, That the legislature be
requested to enact a law authorizing
and requiring women, who are other
wise qualified, to serve as jurors in
all courts within the territory.
Resolved. That the wife shall have
equal rights in any property that her
husband may acquire and that he may
not dispose of same without her con
sent.
That section 500 be amended to
read: “That a wife may, by her own
deed, convey her real estate in like
manner as she might do if she were
unmarried.”
That section 594 shall be so amend
ed that the real estate of a deceased
child shall descend equally to the
father and mother.
That section 1,724 be amended so
as to give the mother equal rights
over the child with the father, and
that the section, part thereof, which
authorizes the appointment by the
fatheer of a testamentary guardian
for a child, be repealed so as it shall
not be in effect if the mother of the
child is living.
That the law of the territory of
Alaska be so amended as to place the
age of consent at 18 years instead of
16 years at present. And that the
age of reason be likewise changed
from 16 to 18 years.
The organization also sent the fol
lowing memorial:
That the school affairs of the ter
ritory of Alaska are in a chaotic con
dition due to lack of funds and to
the absence of a territorial school
board, and while the Anchorage Wom
an’s club is cognizant of the fact that
the legislature has been prevented
from taking any action in school mat
ters heretofore on account of re
strictions contained in the organic act
creating the Alaska legislature, but
as said restrictions have now been
removed by act of congress;
Therefore your memorialists re
spectfully urge that a territorial
school board be created to consist of
a superintendent elected by the ter
ritory and one member elected from
each judicial division of the territory,
who shall have full power relating to
school matters so as to create a uni
form school system throughout Alas
ka, and that sufficient funds be appro
priated to maintain schools already in
existence and to supply schools where
needed, and,
Further that the sum of at least
thirty-six thousand dollars be appro
priated for the completion and main
tenance of the school at Anchorage
for the ensuing year.
Copies of the resolutions and me
morial were sent to Representatives
Cannon and Price, Senator Ronan and
the Juneau Woman’s club.

DR.SLOAN
ON CARE OE
(Seward Gateway.)
Seward has a new publication in the
j shape of the “Quarterly Bulletin” of
! the Alaska Medical association, of the
Third division, compiled for publica
] tion by Dr. J. H. Romig and Dr. J. M.
| Sloan.
One of the interesting artticles in
j the initial issue is by Dr. Sloan on the
: care of the Alaska insane, a subject
which has been given considerable
publicity from time to time.
Dr. Sloan’s article follows:
By Dr. J. M. Sloan, M. D.
(Acting Assistant Surgeon Marine
Hospital Service.)
We have no intention of reviewing
the treatment accorded our insane
from early history, but wish to re
view the reason for their present
treatment in an outside sanitarium.
In 1910 congress passed an act
section 7 of which provides, among
other things, that the secretary of the
interior shall advertise for bids for
the custody of persons legally ad
judged insane in the district of Alaska.
Expenses of such care to be paid by
appropriation to be made by congress
annually.
In 1914 advertisement was made
from west of the Itocky mountain
range only four were submitted, anti
of these the Sanitarium Co., doing bus
iness at Portlaand, Oregon, was con
sidered the lowest and best and they
were consequently given a five years’
contract from March 19, 1914.
The contract, containing fourteen
articles, is too big to publish in full
but any one desiring a copy may ob
tain one by communicating with the
writer.
The Sanitarium Co. is bonded in
the sum of five thousand dollars for j
the faithful performance of the pro- ;
visions of the contract and an addi
tional bond of two thousand dollars;
as a guarantee for faithfully and hon
estly safeguarding all money and j
property received from the patients.
Article 3 requires the company to
permit either the secretary of the in
terior, the attorney general, or the
governor of Alaska or.their represen
tatives, to inspect the premises. At
present we are fortunate in haring an
Alaskan for governor.
Article 9 will be quoted in full, and
follows:
“It is understood and agreed that if,
after the expiration of one year from
the 16th of January, 1915, the secre
tary of the interior is satisfied after
inquiry and inspection in Alaska
either by himself or through his au
thorized representative, that there is
any responsible asylum or sanitarium
in the Territory of Alaska for the care
of the insane, competent and equipped
to care for the then or thereafter leg
ally adjudged insane of the territory
of Alaska, the secretary of the interior
in his discretion may cancel this con
tract and call for bids for the care of
the insane of Alaska in order to afford
asylums or sanitariums in Alaska op
portunity to bid for the service if they
so elect; if, however, at expiration of
said year the secretary of the interior
is sattisfied that there Is no responsi
ble asylum or sanitarium in the terri
tory of Alaska competent and equip
ped for the care of the insane of the
territory, and this contract is not can
celled, then this contract shall con
tiuen in full force and effect for the
entire term of five years from January
16, 1915.”
This is either an attempt on the
part of the government to encourage
the erection of an asylum in Alaska,
so that our legally-adjudg-d insane
may be prooeri / cared for at uo.i.e, ur
it is another joke.
There are two ways such a sani
tarium may be ere ted m Alaska.
First, if the g vemment will give
such a contract to a few Alaskans of
territorial reputation, men worthy and
well qualified, as it has given to the
Portland company, the institution will
bo built. Se.oiil, if the territorial leg
islature votes the money for its erec
tion. Why should individual capital

This great territory should have
proper instil aticns for the proper cars
of all its unfortunate citizens. At
present there is w idespread dissatis
faction with the system of managing
the insane. We should see it > cue
died and see them kept at home and
treated in a better institution, and iti
a better climate, than in the piye
v here they are now crowded.
In the last magazine of the Grand
Igloo of Pioneers, one writer said the
contract for our insane should be giv
en to the highest and best bidder. We
agree with this sentiment that the
proper care of unfortunate people is so
important that the economic features
should be considered lightly. How
ever, if we figure the transportation
expense of traveling deputies and of
guards with their salaries while tak
ing out the 200 patients to Mount Ta
ber, you may see there is spent on this
item alone more money than would
build a magnificent institution.
The contract is signed on behalf of
the Sanitarium by Henry Waldo Coe,
president and treasurer.
