 Excerpt from letter from D. F.. Stubbs, Mckinley Park.
 "You had splendid article about the Alaska Insane. 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. l was informed that Dr. Coe had sold out his interest in the graft, and it was in other hands. 1 found some of the people I knew from the Kuskowim country and they quickly rounded up the balance that was there, and had a visit with them, and they would not let me go until l promis- ed to go back. and 1 expect to call there aSalh on my HeAC outSlue trip. The system and conditions there are simply awful, and from what I know the story printed in the Fisherman is true one Such a system of caring for our unfortunates is 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- tenn of farming out our unfortun ates."

A scene inin0ur shop between the

dog. uo
A peasant kept a dog while it was
young, strong and good protector Of
his property. When the dog became
old and could not bark loud enough to
brighten thieves the boss tied a stone
to the dogs neck and threw it into the
river. r8o
A designer, an elderly woman, had
worked in our shop but several days
when the boss lcomplained to her that
the hats she designed were causing
him to fail in his business.
The woman with tears in her eyes
insisted that she was doing her best
and showed that there could not be
any complaint with her samples. The
boss remained unreasonable. He fired
the designer.
The next day the designer came to
the factory for her belongings. She
said to me: Il lost my luck. / worked
