MOItK TESTIMONY
Today follows the affidavit of a
trail who has been confined within
t~na!Is of the Morniugside Sani
tarium in Portland, the place where
Alaskans who are sent south, for
and scientific and modern
approved methods for the insane
are supposed to be used. The con
ti.ut t the care and custody of
tluse unfortunate people is made
l>y the department of interior with,
this institution. Is it not time
th.it some other institution be
chosen or one provided in thia ter
ritory properly equipped and un
der the supervision of a man who

>tateu.ent ot A. Xiilniis
I was sent from Nome, Alaska,
to tiie Morniugside »anitaiium of
urigu;:, thi last of July, 1912 and
I was a patient in that instjtute
t.glit mouths "and J7 days, sis
law. I tit and two days of that time
1 wua oooKins .a tne Kitchen for
the oft ice is and attendants, also
u..t p.itieuts of the iiksrt.tution. The"
totd sapplits were very good for
ike euicers and attenuauts, tttey
all had plenty to eat. But the
;jt-d tiirnishtd tor the patieuts
was .-ca.ity aiid of a vciy poor
•juaiity; even t..e vegetables t'uv
l ibutu uie to cook for them that
raised on the iarin, we.e u.e culls
that could not b* sold at any niar
rU, and otten in a decayed coudi
ticu.
I .v:is even cU gtd to save all
the tta aud coffee grounds tiiat

foot] se.vico.
; was not allowed to serve any
sugar, ajilk or butter on the pa
tients' table; once in a !*hile 1
was allowed to serve a veiy poor
quality of uiaeK strap molassts to
tiicUi. i was also allowed to use
?ai.ill scraps of nieut and the
leavings ot nie„t aud tables
lruiu t:>e officers' tablo to make
^ouy u r tho pat.e..U tuat worked
every day on the f.-rm. This soap
w-s li'-'.-.it out to them onee a day.
Those patients that didn't work
aid net get any soup. The rolled
oats luruisiied iuc to serve to the
patten u was in such small quan
tities iii: t 1 was obliged to make
a soup of it iu order to supply
tiu-ai with a small bowl of this
mixture. The bread 1 served
theiu with was the best food that
th.y had to oat, and I cannot un
der.-tau<l how the poor unfor
tunate Leings li\\d on the scanty
amount allowed them to e£t; and
1 cannot see how our government
oil it-in Is will allow them to be
sent to such a miserable place of
iniurisonment.
Experiences
This so-callcd sanitarium is not
a ulace where anyone can be l>ene
fitted or even get a scientific course
of medical treatment; but it is a
prison where the poor unfortunate
patent gets kicked and beaten and
in many cases maimed for life. I
will here relate a little of my own
experience a short time before I
went ln*o the kitchen to cook, one
day while X was walkng around the
grounds near the sid« porch, I
heard Jimmy Cryan, calling for
heli from some one, and knowing
him as 1 did n«ru in Nome, b»-.
fore .wing to this institute, 1 im
mediately went UP ou tha porch
where. tne attendants had put
handcuffs on him, and t ed him
flat od his back ou a rack made
of lumber, about two and one half
feet uigh, six aid one half fe-t
long and three fee wide, made
something like a couch, I at once
Inquired what was the cause of
such an outcry from him, and he
stated that he wanted to go to the
toile' at once as he was suffering
badly with pain, and he asked
me to dutle him and go to the
toilet with him, and as soon as
he got relief he would come right
back with me and allow me to
tie him again; all of which he
did as promised, but someone
must nave seen me release Mr.
Cryan and reported it to the at
tendants, for In & rery short time
thereafter the superiutendnt and
four attendants grabbed me and
threw a towel around my neck
aud began twisting it unt 1 it
choked me down and began to
boat and kick me until I became
auconstious, and I carried the
marks red trruises on my head,
nody and limbs for months. Then
they dragged me to a cell and
locked me up without anything to
eat for several days. I have also
seen a great many other patients
treated in the same manner they
treated me. The sanitary condi
tion of this institution is some
thing awful, it .8 just reeking in
filth; it cannot be otherwise for
the patients ar® crowded in a
very small space, and the attend
ants do not try to keep it clean.
Safety
The building to mot p.ovided
with a fire escape, anil in case ot
a tire most of tu« patieu.s woulu i
perish. During my stay in that j
institute I have never se.cn a pa
tient given an examination, or
receive any kind of meiicaL tieat
meut from the doctor or attend
ants unless they call it a tr&et
ment to kick the patients down
sick f.ad beat them 'and drag
them to a cell in an unconscious
otate :>nd lock them up without
iood for several days.
If nature comes to the rescue
of a patient aaid he recoveis and
is sound in both mind and body,
and he proves to be a good work
er, thej* will find plenty of work
for him to do, but in no case will
they ever turn him loose, unless
he has good friei.ds on the outside
to intercede foir him and pay some
uiouey tor expenses.
I believe tho management of
tha* institute likes the montaly
income of J27.50 a head per, that
our government kindly, donates
them for the abuse given to our*
poor uufortunate citizens of Al
ack*.

John Carpenter, 601 N. Stanton

palm in my back, especially when
I arose from a sitting position or
maflo a sudden move. The kidney
secreMana were profuse at times and
then again scanty and contained a
brick-dust sediment. During cold
weather, they were too frequent in

(Statement given Feb. 4, 1907).
LASTING RESULTS
On Juue iO, 1915, Mr. Carpenter

lino of mining- with a watchful eye
The c.ir load consisted of ten tons
of the mineral which will probably
run fifty per cent and market from
$'!00 to ?400 per ton. The demand
for ant.mony at the "recent time is
brisk, tho market is holding its
owne and people in this vlcitny look
for rapid developments withi the
