.NOT A HARD CHOICE.
With the two municipal tickets
now in the field, and a total o£
10 candidates to choose from, the
selection of seven council men who
are in every.way qualifed to look
after the interests of the town does
not appear to be either arduous or
insurmountable.
As is always the case in elections
there is a diversity of opinion as
to the fitness or qualifications of
those who have been rlacet^ in
nomination, but unltss a man has_
l>een tried and found wanting In
some particular his merits or de
merits can only be matters of con
jecture.
There is not a man on either
ticket who is not well known .to ev
ery voter in Skagway and there
can.be no, excuse for the selection
of members of the council J who are
not entirely acceptable to a major
ity of the people of the town.
This being so obviously true we
refrain from saying anything fur
ther, being perfectly willing to
abide by the choice of the major
ity.

PORTLAND GEIS
TIE CONTRACT
The insane of Alaska are to be !
farmed out another five years to a
prvate sanitarium for profit at
$27.50 per.head. Protests were sent
in from Alaska against the present
plan of "fa'rming out" victims of
mental diseases. Even though the
contract is awarded, no effort
should be spared to have the sys
tem chauged so that patients may
be cared for.in a federal institution
or one maintained by the territory.
The following is from the Oregonian
News Bureau at Washington, under
date of March 20th:
The interior department today
awarded to Dr. Henry Waldo Coe,
of Portland, the contract for ear
ing for the Alaska insane for the
nest five years, the contract repre
senting in the neighborhood of $400
000. Dr. Coe's bid, offered in the
name of the Sanitarium Company,
was a rate of $27.50 per" patient
per month, which is the same rate :
at which Dr. Coe has cared for the j
Alaska insane for the past ten years |
At present there are 1S4 Alaska |
patients at this institution.
There was a spirited contest ov- |
er this contract as Mrs. Co© was a i
rival bidder at the same figure nam-1
ed by Dr. Coe. Dr. W. T. William- I
son of Portland, also competed, J
his bid being $29 per pMient. It
was rejected on that account. Mrs- )
Coe's bid was rejected because it
was presented by her fersonally and
not oil behalf of some institution,
as required by law.
The award was given to Dr. Coe
for the fifth time, on recommenda
tion of the board of awards, which
reported to Secretary Lane as fol
lows:
"The care of the insane by san-P"
tarium company has boeu investi
gated from lime to time by offic
ers of this-department and war
department. ' It has been found
that when Dr. Henry Waldo Coe
was in absolute charge of the in
stitution it was run 011 proper bas
is and that insane were taken care
of kindly, and that 110 harsli meth
ods were invoked.—Juneau Dis

People who have been poulticing
and anointing lor year* and years
marvel at the way Purola does the

composed of a network of tiny
blood vessels you solve the mystery.
There are wonderful medicinal
properties In Purola Syrup Sargap

course of the blood stream ju*t as
naturally as the most nourishing
food elements.
Thousands know it to be really a
remarkable remedjr. It contains one
ingredient, the active purpose of
which is to stimulate the tissues
to the healthy selection of its own
essential nutriment. And the "med
icinal elements of thU matchless
blood purifier hre just as essen
tial to well-balanced health as the
nutritious element* of the meats,
grains, fats and sugars of our dally
food," 6ald a w9ll-known physician.

presence of sc:ae distributing; poi

terference of nutrition to cause
boils, carbuncles, abcesses and kin
dred troubles, Purola Syrup Sarsap

local cells that this poison is re
jected and eliminated from their
presence. -•
Then, too, Purola Syrup Sarsap

to preserve their mutual welfare
and a proper relative assistance to
each other.
