CARE OF ALASKAN INSANE IS DISCUSSED BY DR. SLOAN IN
 THE SEWARD MEDICAL PAPER

Arctile 8 requires the company to permit either the Secretary of the In terior, the Attorney General, or the Governor of Alaska or their repre- sentatives, to inspect the premises
 At present we are fortunate in hay ing an Alaskan for Governor,
 Article 9 will be quoted in full and follows:
 Ut is understood and agreed that if, after the expiration of one year from the l6th of January, 1915, the Secre- tary of the Interior is satisfied after inquiry and inspection in Alaska, either by himself or through his authorized representative, that there is any responsible asylum or sani- tarium in the Territory of Alaska for the care of the insane, competent and equipped to care for the then or thereafter legally adjudged insane of the Territory of Alaska, the secretary of the interior in his discretion may cancel this contract and call for bids for the care of the insane of Alaska, in order to afford asylums or sani- tariums in Alaska opportunity to bid for the service if they so elect; if, however, at expiration of said year the Secretary of the Interior is sat isded that there is no responsible asylum or sanitarium in the Territory of Alaska competent and equipped for the care of the insane of the Terri tory. and this contract is not cancelled, then this contract shall continue 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-adjudged insane may be properly cared for at home, or it is another joke.
 There are two ways such sani- tarium may be erected in Alaska.
 First, if the government will give such a contract to few Alaskans of Territorial reputation, men worthy and we'll qualified, as it has given to

Seward has new publication in the shape of the Quarterly Bulletin of the Alaska Medical Association, of the Third division, compiled for publication by Dr. J. H. Romig and Dr. J. M. Sloan.
 One of the interesting articles in the initial issue is by Dr. Sloan on the care of the Alaska insane, subject which has been given considerable publicity from time to time.
 pr. 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 1909 Congress passed an Act, Section 2 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 Al aska. Expenses of such care to be paid by appropriations to De male by Congress annually.
 In 1914 advertisement was made for bids and as all bids had to come from west of the Rocky mountain range only four were submitted, ana of these the Sanitarium Co" doing business at Portland, Oregon was con sidered the lowest and best and they were consequently given a five years contract form March l9, 1914
 The contract, containing fourteen articles, is too long to publish in full but any one desiring copy may ob- tain one by communicationg with the writer.
 The Sanitarium Co. is bonded in the sum of five thousand dollars for the faithful performance of the pro- visions of the contract ana an addi- tional bond of two thousand dollars as a guarantee for faithfully and honestly safeguarding all money and property received from the patients.
