MRS MONOHAM
After having undergone a thorough
fumigation during the last week, the
Columbus Maynard Hospital is now
in excellent condition to receive pat
ients again. Everything is in the most
sanitary condition possible and no
effort has been spared in renovating
the wards for the patients and putting
everything in first class order.
Fred Mebes who with San Fernen
gel returned from a business trip to
the Casadepaga says that the weather
experienced in the Casa and on their
return trip to Soomon was a little too
blustery for enjoyment. Fred whose
face has a rather dilapidated appear
ance from the manhandling he re
ceived from King Boreas reports
everyone they met well. A1 Coler
and Pete Eden are prospecting in the
Casa. No mining is being done on
Solomon river. The Solomon Hotel
where Fred and his companion re
gained their lost vigor thru partaking
of the excellent meals furnished
there, is crowded with orphaned na
tive children who are well taken care
of by Mrs Rowe and Mrs Shaughnessy
Albert Bernhardt is a recent ar
rival from Teller, bringing with him
his daughter about 10 years of age
who had the misfortune to freeze both
of her feet so badly that amputation
was necessary immediately after her
arrival at the Holy Cross hospital.
The grief stricken father stated that
he left his child under the care of her
grandmother, a native woman living
at a native settlement on the Teller
lagoon, the time the epidemic was
raging and was, as he believer entire
ly safe.
Going later to the grandmother's
home to visit his daughter he found
the grandmother dead from influenza
and his daughter who had been left
to shift for herself in a pitiable con
dition with both feet frozen. Hurry
ing to Nome as fast as his dog team
coud travel he consulted Dr Neuman
who found on examination that both
her feet would have to be amputated
the operation being successfully per
formed by Dr Neuman.
Reports from Cape Prince of Wales
brot by Dave Denny by way of Mary’s
Igloo state that about two hundred
of the natives at the Cape have died
of influenza.
According to the statement of Ted
dy Winfield to Dave Denny, three na
tives one of them the mail carrier be
tween Teller and the Cape were
traveling to the latter place when one
of them took sick and died at York.
The body being taken to Wales for
interment, the disease was transmit
ted to the natives there resulting in
the death of nearly two hundred of
them. It is not known at present how
many succumbed to the dread disease
In some of the outlying native rein
deer herder camps, but quite a few of
the herders are reported to have died.
The number of suvivors at the Cape
is not definitely known at present,
but is estimater at about one hundred
children twelve male ndults and thir
teen women.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Attorney Fred Harrison from
Marshall has moved his offices to

10 Wild Goose Building.

Tomorrow is the shortest day of
the year. Although tomorrow is only
a couple of seconds shorter than to
day, yet it marks the turning point
when the days commence to lengthen
This is very gradual at first, amount
ing to only o few seconds per day,
but increasing until towards spring
it amounts to 6 min. 43 sec. per day.
On Jan. 1 the day has gained 13 min.
but the gain is not noticable to the
casual observer until about Jan. 10.
The Winter Solstice, as it is called,
occurs tomorrow, December 22, at
4:4 2a. m. at which time the sun
reaches its lowest point south of the
equator, 23 deg. 27 min. Tomorrow
the sun rises 9:59.43 a. m. and sets
2:00.38 p. m. making the day's
length 4 hours 49 sec.. Twilight,
however, which is of long duration in
high northern latitudes, considerably
augments the amount of daylight.
Twilight as this time of year com
mences about 7 a. m. and ends at 5
p. m.
At noon tomorrow the sun is only
2 deg. 21 min. above the horizon. The
sun, as everyone knows, has an ap
parent movement during the year
from north to south andi vice versa,
the range being 47 deg. The sun
does not really move, but the ap
parent movement is due to the in
clination (tilting) of the earth’s axis
to the plane of the orbit, this inclina
tion being 23% deg. from the perpen
dicular. The earth’s axis always
maintains the same direction in space
causing the poles to alternately lean
towards and away from the sun.
It is this inclination, combined
with the revolution of the earth,
round the sun, which gives us our
different seasons. If the earth moved
upright n its orbit, there would be
no change in he seasons whatever.
The winter and summer solstices
were regarded by the ancients, es
pecially by the people living in the
temperate zone where the seasons
weer more miarked, as the most im
portant periods of the year. The one
indicated the return of the sun, giv
ing promise of renewed life and ac
tivity, and the other the height of the
growing season. Especially the win
ter solstice was observed with great
festivities, and our Christmas is un
doubtedly an adaptation of the old
Yule festival.

HENDERSON'S VIEWS
LONDON, Dec 18—Henderson the
well known British Labor leader in a
speech delivered here said that he
will welcome President Wilson as the
leader of a world wide democracy and
promised the President the whole
souled and united support of the
British labor party in his demands for
a League of Nations. Henderson al
so said that the British Labor party
stood for a reduction of armaments
and the absolute suppression of all
secret diplomacy. He specifically re
ferred to the secret treaties made
public by the Bolsheviks In Russia
and_ expressed the hope, that by eUmi
liattag' this reprehensible phase of
diplomacy one o'tthe main causes tor*
future Wars would be eliminated. Mr
Henderson eulogized President Wil
son tor his stand on the Peace ques
tion and expressed the hope that the
world at large looked to the Presi
dent to exert his great influence to
remove the curse of war from the
people.
