Newspaper SIammine A(uuisition of Alaska

The following is an excerpt from an editorial appearing in the Mon- treal Gazette on April 30, 1867. An original copy of this newspaper was given to the Territorial Mus cum recently, and is on display there.
 "The Russians seem to be quite elated at the success of their negotiations for the sale of Rus America, and, to use a current term, evidently think that the United States have got hard bargain The Yankee 'cuteness of the latter, however, will yet stand them in good stead. It was generally suppos- ed that the bargain would have to be settled for in good hard gold, equal to at least eleven millions in greenbacks. But in this it appears we were all mis- taken, the Russian Government being satisfied to take the ac- count out in Monitors instead of gold. We do not know what these may he worth a piece, but as they cannot have cost much less than a million each, the Russians, if Congress consents, will be entitled to seven or eight. They would undoubtedly pe well adapted to the shallow waters of the Baltic, but the difficulty will be to get them there. In any event both par ties would be mutually satisfied. The United States will have territory perfectly useless for all practical purposes, and the Rus sians a fleet of slow-going, half- worn out war vessels which can never keep the sea or make head against the swifter, heavier and handler iron-clads of the old, world"

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
 SITKA, Alaska, July 31-Sales tax returns for the quarter ending to- day amounted to $l6,405 and are expected to total around $17,000 by the time all returns are in, accord ing to City Clerk Frank Calvin.
 These results practically insure the probability of Sitka's having a hospital in the not-to-distant fu- ture
 The Rev. Ernst Nygaard, pastor of the Lutheran Church, stated that all signs are good for the construc- tion of Community Hospital with in the next few months. A special committee of the Lutheran Central Church is expected next week to confer with City officials and towns people.
 Heading the committee will be Pastor John Cauble of Longview, Wash, He was instrumental in pro- viding Lutheran Church for Sitka Also Oh the committee are the Rev. Herbert Hillerman of Juneau and the Rev. Ernst Nygaard. The local Lutheran Church Council will as- sist the group.
 The Lutheran Central Council has hesitated over the choice of Long, view or Sitka for it's hospital loca- tion but Sitka has been given pre- ference in view of the fact that Longview does have hospitals, even though inadequate to the demand, while Sitka has none.
 The Rev. Nygaard stated that the building will be built for and main- tained strictly as a community ser- vice and not as religious institu- tion. Its construction will be for medical use only and provisions will te made to prohibit it's ever being used for any other purpose. The lots, on Marine Street, have been do- mated by L. c. Berg.
 Present plans provide for 20 bed institution though it is estimated that Sitka's present population will have daily need of only five beds.
 The Lutherans have chosen Sitka for it's hospital. To all intents and purposes they are offering it to the community on silver platter. Next weeks conferences and meetings are up to us If we don't get the hospi- tai it will be through out own iner- tia and lack of civic enterprise.
 Final decision will be made at the Annual Convention of Inter national Lutheran Churches which meet in Philadelphia in October.

Two important actions were talk len by members of the Sitka Chapter of the Alaska Crippled Children's Association at their monthly meet ing. With the approval of head quarters, it was decided to engage qualified woman to take charge of the Visiting Committee" pro- gram. This program, under which volunteers visit the Orthopedic Hos- pital on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons to work with the children, has been established for lover two months Experience has shown that without a full time di- rector. the results are far from maximum efficiency. As different groups visit on each day of the week the results are confused and the children do not get full benefit for the amount of work expended by the visitors.
 1 Under a 1ull time director, not only would the children benefit and the women feel that their time was being used toward a definite accom- plishment-bu the materials which have been donated by organizations i throughout the Territory would be kept in order and utilized for their 1 intended purpose-the educational an occupational program.
 The women also voted to request headquarters to grant fund, to be kept and used here, for emer- gency use in the Orthopedic pro- gram. As the local chapter is in con- lstant close touch with the hospital and it's immediate needs, such a fund would be put to constant worth while use. The request named the sum of $20O which was felt would cover most emergencies.
 Mrs. Neill Anderson, chairman of the Birthday Committee, reported that 12 hospital birthdays had been celebrated at the hospital during July. On each child's birthday, foui cakes are donated, enough to pro- vide each patient with slice-and lgifts for the celebrant are included The patients look forward to these birthday parties. However, as the Visiting Program calls for so many volunteers, most of whom partici- pate at personal inconvenience, it was decided that weekly birthday parties, probably on Saturday after moons, would be advisable-with all birthdays during that week celebrat- ed at one time.
 The committee, appointed last meeting to purchase $100 worth oi clothing for the patients reported that the purchases had been made and delivered.

 scheduled for September in An

ton of the new ACCA building. No
 conclusion was reached though the
 chapter voted to invite the conven- tion to meet in Sitka the following year on the promise that ACCA leaders should become acquainted with the Hospital, it's staff, it's pa- tients and its problems at first hand. Charles Tuengel, local barber, has spent his Sundays the past month, visiting the Orthopedic Hospital to give all the patients free hair cuts. A real barber chair was set up in the wards and each child given a professional cut which proved to be the first for many a patient. As it took most of the month to finish the job-by the time the last child had been taken care of, the first one was already in need of further attention. The children thoroughly enjoyed the ex- perience and the attention and MT. Tuengel stated he enjoyed the ex- perience equally well.
 Francis "Frenchie" Roach, who left Friday of last week to enter the Seattle Marine Hospital, died early Wednesday morning. Erroute to Seattle, he had stopped at St Ann's Hospital in Juneau until Mon-- day when his wife, Bernita, flew over to accompany him south.
 He was torn in Seattle, August g, 1919-came to Sitka in 1940 and in 1941 was married to Bernita Mo- Graw, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Jess McGraw.
 He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Anna Berg of Little Port Walter, ais widow and two small daughters. His youngest daughter, under two, died of tubercular meningitis just three weeks ago.
 Funeral services were held in Seattle today. Mrs. Roach will re- main in Seattle, visiting her sister Mrs. Leonard Pugsley. She will be joined by her two young daughters, now staying with their grand-par- ents. MT. and Mrs. Jess McGraw, sometime next year when the Mo- Graws plan to go south. Time of the trip is dependent on completion of the Moose Bowling Alleys of which Mir McGraw is construction foreman.
