 As business proposition. any community in a civilized country that would turn down an appropria- ton for an improvement of this ma Wre, would brand itself as fitted collectively and in its entirety for immediate incarceration in the build ing for which the appropriation was made
 Nearly two years ago as shown by the Csngre ssional Record. an appro- priatiOn of $12.500 was secured by AIaska's delegate in congress for the specific purpose of erecting detention hospital for the insane in the town of Fairbanks This money was made available immediately. but up to the present not a dollar of the same has been expended for that purpose. The people Of Fairbanks are familiar with all the backing and filling anent the proposition of securing a site; and of the spiteful opposition Cf the dmnutive Poo Bah down in Juneau. reinforced by his profound counselor, Rustgard; and they are also informed as to how this petty obstacle was swept aside by the AaatCrney-Ge and everything made clear so far as the legal aspect of the site is concerned.

Here you have had the money for nearly two years. and you haven't any hospital. Not dollar has been spent.

 The EskimOs sleep in bags of seal skin; and, with bated breath and loud beating heart. he hOisted on his back the one in which his lady love slumbered. With his precious burden he recrOssed the strip of ice, and safe on the other side broke it down with a blow of his axe so that no one could pursue him save by the aid of boat.

WORK OF THE JOINT
 SURVEY PARTY

The seasons work of the joint sur vey parties of Canada and the Unit ed States which have been engaged in establishing the boundary line be- tween Alaska and Canada along the Hist meridian has come to an end Despite the fact that the country through which the parties had to work has been afflicted with an ep- idemic of smallpox, good progress was made. At Fort Yukon a repre- sentative of the Citizen interviewed MT. w. B. Gilmore of the Amer ican party, relative to the progress of the work.
 Mir. Gilmore said: Work com menced at Rampant House at which point the boundary crosses the Por- cupine river. The actual determna- tion of the line was carried through to the Arctic by Mr. Nelles, of the Canadian party and MT Gilmore of the United States.
 The reconnaissance party in charge of Mir. Reburn of the United States reached the coast range, 20 miles from the sea.
 The tIiangulation. in charge of Mir. Baldwin, of the United States and the topography which was done by Mir Guerin, of the United States, was carried 100 miles north of the Porcupine The stada party of Mr. Lambert Canadian, covered the same distance; and the placing of monu- ments. which was under the direc- ton of Mir. Reilly, Canadian. was completed to the Firth river.
 South of the Porcupine river Mir Ryus, of the United States, did to- pogIaphy. and Mir Stewart, Cana dian, ran stadia over stretch of 30 miles which was left unfinished at the close of the l.10 season.
 Both the United States and Can. adian parties had two sternwheel launches plying on the Porcupine and the Old Crow rivers throughout the summer forwarding supplies. The other transportation of equipment and provisions was accomplished by pack trains.
 The entire work was carried on under the supervision of MT. Thomas Riggs, Jr, engineer for the United States commissioner and Mir. J. D.. Craig representing the Canadian con- missioner. In all about 90 men and 1SO horses were engaged on the survey.
 Half dozen men in charge of MT. Reaburn are remaining in the country for the winter with head quarters at Rampant House. They will forward and cache supplies along the line for use of the parties re- turning north in the spring

 Now that was my purpose in get ting that money. and il is going to be thwarted if this club doesn't take hold of the situation. And you ought to do il. You ought not to criticise anyone particularly. but as one man this club should stand up and say that this appropriation shall be ex- pended on an insane hospital; and give me an opportunity to get more. so that in time We might have government hospital that will be of some use. not only 10 this town. but to the whole of Interior Alaska.
 You put top on that jail. and let the rest go back to the Gov ernment. and you never will have hospital. What you ought to do is to stand up and make little fight. anu you VIII get II.
 Now of course the criticism was made that my bill did not provide money for the site There has been quite lot of talk about accepting property from individuals until an appropriation had been made to buy a site. As soon as that matter was called to my attention I went to the attorney general and laid it before him, and I said MT. Attor ney General. tell me what you think about it. He had read about il. and he said: That's true down in reservations every day for govern ment purposes. We can reserve all the land We want and we'll do it.. said to him Suppose there are vacant lots here in the town of Fairbanks. that happen to be passed by patent to an individual, can the lots be turned over by the individual and reserved for the government" :" He said Certainly. they can and wrote me a letter about that. So there is no difficulty about site. or getting site for it's location.
