MORNINGSIDE ASYLUM
Excerpt from letter from L). E.
Stubbs, McKinley Park.
“You had a splendid article about
the Alaska Insane- I am one of
the few Alaskans who bothered
to lay over in Portland and hunt
for that place, and I had to make
a lot of inquiry in Portland before
I could find it- The day I called
there, there was no one there
but the cook mentioned in your
paper. I was informed that Dr
Coe had sold out his interest in
the graft, and it was in other
hands. I found some of the people
I knew from the Kuskowim country
and they quickly rounded up the
balance that was there, and I
had a visit with them, and they
would not let me go until I promis
ed to go back^ and I expect to
call there again on my next outside
trip. The system and conditions
there are simply awful, and from
what I know the story printed
in the r isherman is a true one
Such a system of caring for our
unfortunates is a burning disgrace.
I wrote a story of it at the time
and sent it to the Alaska Weekly,
but do not think they used it.
I did not waste any time on the
bunch of grafters who have the
fat contract, but attacked the sys
tem of farming out our unfortun
ates.”
A Minstrel show and program
was given in Juneau on March
bth in the A. N- B. Hall by the
children of Mrs. Bernhofer’s room
of the Government school. The
second half of the entertainment
was given by the Brotherhood
members under the direction of
Frank Mercer. Proceeds of the
show were divided equally between
the School orchestra and the A.
N. B.
The Government school at Ket
chikan, assisted by the Saxman
school, gave a patriotic program
on Washington’s Birthday in the
Salvation Army Hall.
The Klukwan Camp reports that
they are hard at work on plans
for the Alaska Native Brother
hood Convention to be held there
next fall- They send word to
all the Camps that safe anchorage
will be provided for all the boats.
