DR. KRULISH HAS
II WIDE POWER
Is in Reality a Commissioner of
Public Health For the Whole
Of Alaska
"Ail erroneous impression
seems to prevail in regard lo the
duties of Dr. Einii Kruiish," said
Governor Clark recently, "Which
I would like to see correclod. Dr.
Kruiish is really the commission
er of public health for Alaska.
While he does not have the title,
his duties are the same as those
of a commissioner of public
health in the states. While he
does a good deal of work among
the Indians in connection with
the the school service, this is a
mere incident of his work, anil is
due (<» the fact (hut a good many
diseases are prevalent among
I ti'iin.
"We have discovered that
without any additional legisla
tion il will he possride to enforce
a quarantine, .wilier inland or
on the sea coast, and Dr. Krulish
will appoint assistant surgeons
in the various towns of Alaska,
who will receive compensation
whenever they perforin any ser
vice."

received a letter from him writ
