"WORK OF THE FEW ESTABLISHES:
IX THE TERRITORY.
33p!scppal!aas and .Catholics Hare
Leoalnir "Part in ihe "Hospital
Work More Are 'Needea.
JUNEAU, Alaska, July 2, To those who
have known the blessings of a hospital
In the hours of suffering, the hospitals
of a new and comparatively unknown
country are of special Interest and plead
for the writing of this; article.
The hospital at Juneau was -established
In 12S6 by Captain Meln, of Oakland. Cal,.
a man well known for his philanthropic
work in Alaska and Africa, and then
placed In the hands of the St Anne Bis
ters, of Montreal, Canada.
Originally there were only four sisters,
but now eight of these gentle-faced .wom
en are devoting their lives to the -noble
calling.
The patients are principally miners who
ar6 taken in regardless of creed or de
nomination. The hospital is partly sup
ported by miners of the enrroundlng
mines, each paying $1 a month
Into a general hospital fund, and
when 111 or Unfortunate, this -small
amount pays for care ahd med
ical attendance. The Sisters do a great
amount of charity work, never refusing
tho cry of the needy. At present there
are 35 patients In the hospital, most of
them alck with the typhoid fervor, caused, '
the physicians claim, by "Improperly pre
pared food. -The emergency -cases are
great in number, as they naturally would
be in a mining districx.
The Treadwell mine has a hospital of
its own, which Is .also -in charge of tho
Sisters.
The Sisters complain that they cannot
give proper attention to patients, as they
have more than they can possibly care
rfor. It makes the work very difficult, as
all conscientious nurses like to give to
patients all time required, and there Is
no one more faithful than a Sister in
caring for the sick.
The principal characteristics of a nurss
-should be gentleness, flnhness, ahd, abo-ra
all. cheerfulness, as every one knows, "who
has had any experience -in -nursing, that a
man who Is 111 always becomes very
despondent especially so In a far-off
country, like Alaska, away from home
and All frlpnds. "They coiho to us very
despondent and, discouraged," said a
sweet-faced Sister, "and wo need to doc
tor the mind as well as tho body.' It Is
a pleasant thought that the last mo
ments of many a home-sick man are
made brighter by the gentle touch of some
comforting band.
We must grow Very much Interested In
the St Anne Order w.hen we realize that
tho Sisters of this order established the
first mission amongst the savage Indians,
in the most northern part of Alaska in
1SS7 "The Holy Cross," at Kosoresskey,
on the Yukon. The vork is with the Me
dians, who were In an entirely savage
state when they first took charge at
them. The Sisters not only teach but
clothe and care for the sick at the ex
pense of tho Jesuit Fathers.
In 1E9S, the hospital at Dawnon was es
tablished by the Jesuit Fathers. It took
the good Fathers six weeks to reach Daw
son from the little mission, and they were
obliged to be their own workmen in
building the hospital. During the next
two years six Sisters Joined the Fathers,
suffering with thorn the trials of mission
life.
The hospital work at Sitka is carried
on by a residing physician and two
tralnod nurses, who do uncomplainingly
work calling for five times as many at
tendants. This institution was estab
lished for the Children's Mission of that
city, but it is seldom wholly in demand
hy the mission, and so the HI and maimed
from tho outside world are cared for at
a very reasonable rate; if penniless, iht
name care is bestowed as for those more
fortunate in the gift of life. There are
wards in the building a male and a fe
male ward, and private rooms for th6se
demanding such. The operating-room Is
much finer than one would expect In this
new country, and all antiseptic precau
tions are exercised as in the best hos
pitals of the land. The building is closed
four months each year, in order to fu-
; mlgate thoroughly.
A maternity hospital was founded a
ehort time ago, but was closed from lack
of support Such an institution is greatly
needed In Sitka, and those carrying on
this great work for humanity should have
tho help and sjinpathy of the generous
hearts- of our country.
The Government Marine Hospital at
this place is carrying on a work worthy
of the highest praise, in caring for dis
abled sailors ahd soldiers.
At Skag-tay, one of the, most Important
cities in Alaska, the open door as It were,
Into Dawson and the great Yukon coun
try, has a very excellent hospital, found
ed by Bishop Rowe, of Alaska, a man
well known in the Episcopal world by
his creditable work la the Alaskan mis
sions. This institution is carried on by a ma
tron and two trained nurses sent out by
the Episcopal" Board of Missions and as
In all auch work the great need is money.
Knowing the trials and sufferings of the
untried men going Into this strange land
in search of wealth, and of Its disappoint
ments and discouragements weighing
heavy on the mind as well as the body,
we are sure many lives are saved to re
turn to home and loved ones by means
of this hospital work.
It was our pleasure to meet on the re
turn trip from Alaska a trained nurse
who had spent some time there. And as
"out of the fullness of the heart the
mouth speaketh,' so out of the. fullness
of her heart this woman told- us of the
crying need of hospitals and nurses in
this far away part of the United HJtates
or America, a need as great or greater
than the demands of Cuba or the Philip
pines. C. R. I,

AGAIN WITHOUT AN OFFICER
PORTLAND, July 7. The Oregon Hu
mane Society, which for more than 27
years has extended its protecting care
over dumb animals and abused children,
is once 'more left without an officer to at
tend to the many complaints made daily
at our office.
Therefore, we come before the public
whom we have faithfully served during a
period of more than a quarter of a cen
tury, never receiving one dollar for ser
vices performed, and make known our
complaint.
To deny the need of humane societies
is to tolerate the cruelties which have
existed in all forms slnco the itorld be
gan. And until these well-organized
institutions appeared before the people
there was but little notice or care ex
tended to the brute creatures. Cruelty
will exist Until through humane educa
tion ahd the vigorous administration of
laws the cruel propensities of the gen
erations to come be greatly transformed.
Cruelty to children and animals cannot be
exorcised or diminished, neither will of
fenders be remonstrated with or punished
Bive through humane societies. Tho reg
ular patrolman seldom Interferes in be
half of overloaded and overworked
horses; he fcever lifts the collar to see
if the animal is suffering with galled
f shoulders; ho does not notice the pro
truding ribs and bones plainly visible, and
i Inquire the cause; he does not say to the
stranger, "Blanket your -horse while
-standing in tho cold and storm": In fact,
he does not seem to comprehend that
I these things are a part of his duties.
Tet he breaks the monotony of his dally
or nightly round hy dragging some un
fortunate Inebriate or fallen woman to
the City Prison, which in Itself is a dis
grace to our city.
Lef us inquire what the Human Soci
ety has done during the past 25 years,
and Is still doing, and then let the citi
zens of Portland decide whether we shall
have a permanent officer whose head
shall n6t be In danger flt every meeting
of the official board, or whether the Ore
gon Humane Society shall disband.
Statistics in our possession from various
parts of the world show beyond a doubt
thit since the organization of societies
for the prevention of cruelty were es
tablished, crime has greatly diminished,
especially among juveniles, who have
come -urider the influence of humane edu
cation In the public schools, which was
first Introduced by humane societies: and
today more than 2000,000 school children
are enrolled In Bands of Mercy. Thmk
you thit this system of teaching the
great law of kindness to these millions
of children will not diminish suffering
and crlmo?
Great reforms move slowly forward,
especially those which deal with the cruel
side of human nature. Therefore we
must not pause in the -work.
Aside from the educational influence,
our society has rescued many children
from cruel parents- or guardians, and
t has lived to ee them become useful clti-
xens. It has Investigated more than 4000
cases, alleviating suffering" to dumb
brutes and 'teaching their keepers a more
humane method of treatment. It has dur

ing the past year caused the enactment
of a model curfew law, which. If prompt
ly enforced, will save many children from
corruption and crime. It has caused to
be adopted a perfect and humane method
of excavating for new buildings In our
city, which has attracted the attention
and favorable comment of all persons
witnessing its operation, completely abol
ishing the cruelty to horses heretofore
witnessed.
And this Is not all. Portland is soon to
witness the unveiling of a magnificent
fountain, a gift to our city, presented
by Hon. David P. Thompson. In honor
of the Oregon Humane Society, of which
ha Is one of the founders and president.
This one munificent gift alone outvalues
In actual cost more than the salary of a
humane officer for CO years.
The history of the Humane Society's
Work Is plainly and permanently before
the people, and has extended Its Influ
ence throughout our state and TVashlng
ton. Yet too little serious attention has
been paid to Its efforts and to the finan
cial support it deserves.
It does not ask for a large fund to
maintain the work; yet. while the mem
bers are giving much valuable time and
Influence for the benefit of suffering
creatures and the public good, our re
quest for an officer to be paid from the
city's funds seems deserving and just.
If not just, we would call the attention
Of the Mayor and Police Commissioners
to the fact that the special officer ap
pointed to serve the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society has always beett paid his salary
out of the police fund. The above-named
society Is a state Institution, and during
the Kst session of the Legislature ob
tained an appropriation of $5000. The
Oregon Humane Society Is a local organ
ization, and Is performing a work which,
if well sustained, will lessen crime and
j pauperism, and soon deplete the number
J of inmates in aid institutions and pris
j ons, and give to the world a far more
I humane clnss of men and women to rule
in the future. Give the society an offl
