|GOVERNOR URGES INSANE ASYLUM
Annual Report of Governor Strong Says Alaska's Insane Should be Cared for in Territory,

Annual Report of Governor Strong Says Alaska's Insane Should be Cared for in Territory. In his annual report Governor
 Strong urges establishment of an in-
 sane asylum in the north. The report
 states that the number of Alaskan
 insane under treatment at the Morn ingside Sanitarium, near Portland,
 Oregon, on June 30, 1915, was one
 hundred and eighty. Of these one
 hundred and sixty-fve were males
 and twenty-four females. During the
 last quarter there were twelve pa tients received at Morningside, five
 discharged, three died and three es- capped.
 Governor Strong condemns the con- tract system for caring for the insane of the territory as bad no matter with what fidelity the provisions of the contract are carried out. The sys- tenn, from both humane and ethical |standpoints, is unsound. The report Istates that the argument that the cli- mate of Alaska is too rigorous is without foundation in fact, as it will be admitted by the disinterested that
 climate alone will not effect a cure of mental diseases.
 The report of the Morningside San itarium company for the quarter end ing December 31, 1915, covering the care of Alaskan insane during that period shows that five patients died, two eloped and one was released. The patients who died were Harry Laud, Arthur V. James, J. T. Nelson, John
 Francisco and Andrew N. Hale. J. ID. Sickler was discharged as cured
 and Oliver StoutholI and Frank Lifts escaped. Following is a summary of the report:
