SICK IN HOSPITAL THAN

Small Number of Patients Now Is Attributed to
 Fine. Weather

Some folks including even savants of science-say that peo- pie who live close to the sea re- quire damp, rainy weather for maintenance of physical well-he- ing, that they are plagued with sundry and serious ailments during dry, arid periods. Maybe so-if cloudless skies and a summer sun persist for a protracted time. But quite the contrary seems to be true when clear. warm atmospheric conditions are introduced for only brief duration.
 There are fewer patients in the hospital now than in any previous time in the past two years" said Sister Mary Modesto, acting su- perior of St. Ann's.
 Attributed To Weather The absence of illness must be due to the glorious weather. We are glad, doubly glad-glad for the goo dhealth of the public health of the people and glad for the relaxa- ton afforded our staff." There are only 12 patients in the hospital at present. Among those who have left the institution for their homes in the past 24 hours are:
 Mrs. Ed. Sutton, who entered May 29; Mrs. H. Whiteley, who entered May 31; Mrs. E. Keithholm oi Rake, and daughter, born June T; James McCloskey and Norman Ste- wart.

Both par ents were present during the past week and enjoyed the several spe- cial functions that are given in honor of the graduating class of 1881. The climax was recorded on the night of June. 3, at the farewell ball, held at the United States Naval Academy, and was an occasion of great spiendor and en- jcyment, It was attended by sev- eral Alaskans
 Two other young Alaskans are attending the Naval Academy James Fraser Clinic, of Anchorage will graduate in 1883, while Henry Miller, of Fairbanks, will receive lis diploma in 1884. Two principals and several alternates had been nominated as candidates for mid shipmen, from Alaska to take the April examinations. One of the principals failed to report whila the other failed in his examina- tions, as did the reporting alter mates. As a. consequence there vii cnly be two midshipmen from Al aska during the ensuing year. Al the quota allowed Congressmen ha! been sseduced from four to three beginning with 1882, the Delegatt will only have the appointing O | one principal and three alternate to take the examinations mex Spring. A number of application have already been filed for tn post. The quota for the Wes : Point Naval Academy is but tw' and these are filled by William Hammond Waugh, who graduate in 1883, and Henry Nelson, wh graduates in 1884.

herd of Yak is in the vicinity of Healy, on the Alaska Railroad. It consists of four pure bred animals and eight Yak-Galloway hydrids. Dr. H. w. Alberts Director of the Experimental Stations in Alaska, writes that observation on the be- havior of the Yak indicates that they are hardier than our beef ani- mals. He also states that a Yak COW was slaughtered about year ago and the meat was, so similar to beef that it was difficult to note any difference.
 Officials in Alaska have suggest ed that Section 2474 of the Com piled Laws of Alaska, relating to the duties of Commissioners as ex officio Coroners in the calling of inquests, be amended slightly to widen the scope of their authority. In addition to the present author ity to call an inquest an amend ment is asked for by the addition of the following words: .'or has been found dead either in room or in the open or has met an ac- cidental death" The advisability of this amendment was submitted to the Attorney General and he decises that there is no necessity for the proposed amendment, which would be mandatory even in cases where there was obviously no req son to believe that the deceased had met his, or her, death by yio- lence or that any criminality was involved. It is also suggested that the statute is already broad enough to cover any existing needs, while the proposed change would un- doubtedly throw upon the Federal government an obligation of bury ing the bodies of deceased persons whose deaths were not due to any suspicion of criminahty.,

 The American Legion, Depart- ment of Alaska, is to hold it's an- nual convention at Petersburg on
 Aug. 26-28, at which time one of the subjects to be considered will l be the contract for the care of the
 Insane of Alaska, now held by the
 Morningside Sanitarium, at Port
 land, Oregon. The Legion favors
 the construction of an institution 1 in Alaska to care for these un- fortunates. Inquiry has been made
 of Delegate Wickersham as to the present status of the situation In
 January 1881, the Interior De-
 partment entered into new con-
 tract with the Morningside people
 for the care of Alaska insane for
 s years, with the stipulation that
 an officer of the U. s. Health Ser
 vice be stationed at MOrningside
 to see that proper treatment and medical aid was rendered the AL
 aska unfortunates. The cost was
 reduced from S640 per patient per year to $576. There are about 275
 patients, with nearly 50 committed
 annually and forty odd discharg-
 cd. In 1926 an investigation was
 made under an Act of Congress as
 to the advisability of establishing
 an institution for the insane with
 in the Territory of Alaska or the United States. The consensus of
 opinion was against construction in
 Alaska and nothing further was !; done in the matter The Depart , ment reports that conditions now seem satisfactory and that there are comparatively no complaints. | Dr. Ernest D.

drought relief and highway construc-
ton. These totaled l60,o00000 pro-
viding aid to stricken farmers and Jobs
for unemployed on road building.
AS for the regular operating ex
penses, Hyde foreSees little opportunity
of pairing expenses without curtsAing
important services.
The Secretary has not yet been off,
cially advised by the President that his
department will be called on to offer
suggestions for economies, but he has
ordered survey with that in view.
$40 Million Appropriation.
The departments total appropriation
for the present fiscal year is $370,000,-
600, including the $160, 100000 emer-
gency money. Also part of the total
was Slo9 900 900 for regular Federal
highway aid and sl1,000,O00 for forest
roads and trails. The remaining $780,
000 900 went to running expenses, the
extension service, land grant colleges
and similar agencies.
For the 1882 fiscal year. beginning
July l, 1925, 100000 has been appro-
priated, of which Sl37 100000 is for
Federal aid highways and forest roads
Congress increased the Federal aid al
lotment from $4,000, 900 to S125,00o, 900
to help the idle.
Drought loans will be collected from
farmers next Fall when their crops are
harvested. States which have borrowed
from the $80,000.o00 emergency high
way fund will repay the money over a
flve-year period through deductions
from their regular shares of Federal aid.
Cut Seen DifficuIt.
After deducting extension service and
land grant college funds, between S40,-
00O, 900 and 100000 900 remain for the
departments actual expenses Secre-
tary Hyde said attempts TO reduce this
would be extremely difficult unless serv-
ices are restricted. The work accom-
plished by such agencies as the Wealth
er Bureau, he added. has been regarded
as invaluable and not likely to be cur
tailed.
A survey to determine to what use
abandoned Army posts could be put now
is In progress. Hyde feels, however,
that no immediate saving could be ef-
fected inasmuch as a slight saving
would be eaten up by costs of moving
experimental stations from rented lands
to Government property.
