DUTCH HARBOR HOSPITAL.
SURGEON GENERAL WYMAN WILL
RECOMMEND ESTABLISHMENT.
Negotiations Going on For Securing
Appropriate Buildings Twelve
Census Clerks Allowed to This

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Representative
Jones made a call upon Surgeon General
Wyman Of the marine hospital service tae
other day in regard to the establishment
OF a marine hospital at Dutch harbor. Alas
ka Mr.. Jones had previously recommend
ed that this hospital should be established
and IT was for the purpose Of finding out
what the department had done regarding
this that he made his call. He was assured
| by Gen. Wyman that, while nothing posi-
tive had been done or given out yet, It was
very probable that his recommendation
would be favorable for the establishment.
He had submitted a proposition to The
North American Commercial Company OF
Alaska asking II they could not construct
a building for the accommodation Of the
hospital and rent It to the government, and
until We can get this information" said
| Mr. wyman. I'VE can do nothing. As we
have to depend upon this company for all
supplies. buildings and things OF that kind
you can easily see how necessary II is for
us to make arrangements with the COM
pany as we would have to get all the
building material from It. should we build
the hospital ourselves and that would cost
more money than the soyernment would
furniture, but that would be about all we
could do"
Commercial Company. therefore. depends
whether the surgeon generals recommend
alton will be favorable or not Should The
company make it's bid low enough II is
| very probable that the hospital will be es-
| tablished or at least It will go a long dis
lance toward making It possible.
