carrier is indisposed and one not fa-1
miliar with the route bad to take bis
place.
It has been suggested that meas
ures should eb taken to quarantine;
the Eskimos at some point away from
the white folks, say on the sandspit.
In doing so it would help prevent the
spread of the disease and possibly
save the lives of the great majority
of our native population if they have
not already contracted the disease.
With only two doctors in Nome and
one of them indisposed it would work
a hardship on the remaining doctor
if he should have the care of a large
number of natives on his hands. A
little extra precaution now may be
the means of saving the lives of hun
dreds of Eskimos.
The sugestion has been made that
either the Detention or the Holy Cross
Hospitals be opened at Governmtnt
expense to receive patients suffering
fro mthe Influenza. It is no use de
ceiving ourselves as to the epidemic
not being here, for nearly evey one
knows of cases scattered thru the
town. By isolating every person down
■with the sickness, it would be possible
to prevent its further spread. At
present there are people sick in
homes unable to secure medical, at-,
tendance, as thlre are only two doc
tors here at he present time and one
or two nurses.

A most magnificent display of
aurora borealis took place last night
between nine and ten o'clock. The
glories of the sky appeared from
every direction of the heavens, hold
ing the spectators spellbound by their
splendor and rapidly shifting appear
ance. They came in streamers, co
lonas and as a broad waving arch of
light across from east to west, a very
rare phenomena, and of constantly
shifting color, from pale red and yel
low to deep red and purple. At
times they seemed near the top of the
buildings. Northlights are supposed
to be of electric origin and generally
indicate colder weather and some
times a storm.

JAMES BOG AX’
The candidacy of James Bogan is
the most popular now before the vot
ers of the Second Division. And so it
should be. Mr Bogan may be proper
ly considered an Alaskan product,
having resided in Nome since boy
hood days until he marched away as
a Private in Uncle Sam’s great Na
tional Army. On his departure he had
(and his comrades likewise) our con
fidence, respect and hearty good will.
On election day he will be extended
our earnest support. James Bogan
measures up to a high standard of
superior young Americanism. Intel
ligent, industrious and competent,
possessing to a high degree qualifi
cations necessary to successful legis
lative service. His reputation as boy
and man in this community is without
blemish and the voters of this Divi
sion may be assured that he will serve
their interests faithfully and well in
the next legislature.
A certain mean and selfish can
didate attempted to circulate the false
report that Bogan could no serve if
elected because of his military status.
Mr Bogan is one of many soldier-can
didates who will stand for election
thruout the United States on Novem
ber 5th. Their legislative duties if
elected will not be in any way cur
tailed by their miitary connections.
James Bogan will be elected and will
serve. Adv.
