bashful clams pricked up their ears
at the sound of approaching foot
prints and began siphoning their way
towards China with amazing speed,
but the crowd went right after ilem
like rat terriers, insisting upon a
closer acquaintance, and soon had
several dozen tied up triumphantly in
an old bandana. A driftwood fire was
made, to cook a pot of chowder and
dry out some soaked shoes. Both
were overdone somewhat. Young
“Chuck’s” footgear was warped so
that he had to come home barefotted,
while Mrs. Rowe had to throw her
little slippers away and clump around
in a large pair of shoes belonging
to Friend Husband. Aside from these
mishaps, everything was just lovely.

Several Cordova young people have
been enjoying some good times lately
at Chitina. Miss Edna Thawley and
Miss Madeline Buchanan, who have
been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Phillips there, have been included in
a party which has gone on a series of
motor and picnicking trips up the Fair
banks trail as far as Willow creek.
A particularly pleasant excursion was
made to Kinney lake, where several
side trips were made by canoe. The
party returned to Tonsina, to a deli
cious dinner awaiting them at Naf
sted’s roadhouse. The weather and
the condition of the trail have been all
that could be wished. Great clouds
of steam could be seen belching out
from the crater of Mount Wrangell,
•which, owing to the clearness of the
air, seemed a very short distance
away. Besides Miss Thawley and Miss
Buchanan, there were in the crowd
Miss Mary Brown, Elwell Thawley,
Clifford Phillips, Joseph Feaster, Ar
thur Laverty and Chester Cracroft.

FLU VICTIMS
IN INTERIOR
Editor Thompson, of the Fair
banks News-Miner, wires that the
finale of the story of the flu epidemic
which took the heart out of Interior
Alaska for the time being and made
everyone look at their hole card, is
fifty-nine dead at Nenana out of 231
cases; nine dead in Fairbanks out of
800 cases, the flu starting in Fair
banks; eight dead at Circle, one at
Eagle Creek, eight at the Indian vil
lage below Chena, one at the fox
farm fifty miles out, one at the Miller
house and one at Salchaket, eighty
seven deaths in all.
The reason for the extreme penalty
at Nenana was the pneumonia winds
which blew all the time off the gla
ciers of the Broad pass. During the
epidemic thirteen deaths occurred in
Fairbanks, four from other causes
than flu.
Fairbanks dead are: Stanley R.
Hess, Perry Willoughby, Mrs. Frank
Buteau, Mrs. Dave Petree, Mrs. Ranch
er Borden, Alice Warner, Mrs. Bos
trom of Brooks, Harry Williams, part
ner of Frank Lawson, Harry Nelson,
rancher, Henry Kleinschmidt, George
Hobar, teamster, H. L. Seiger, Mrs.
Pat Mahoney.

O’Keefe, N. C. agent, Mrs. Joe O’Con
nor, Herman Rosburg, Mrs. George

Scott’s gasboat, the Prospector.

Miss Madeline Buchanan came in
on yesterday’s train from a pleasant
visit with Mr. and Mrs- Phillips of
Chitina.

Imagine a man, dizzy, blinded by
smoke, ready to drop from exhaus
tion, with arms and face seared by
flames, yet fighting desperately, sin
gle-handed, to beat back the fire rising
all around him and sweeping onwarl
to engulf a cabin where hundreds of
pounds of piant powder are stored—
help coming just in time.
No, this is not a synopsis of some
melodrama to be shown tonight at the
Empress, but an actual situation in
which Roy Walker found himself
about noon Thursday. Mr. Walker,
who is employed by the railroad com
pany, was using an acetylene torch
in cutting some iron rails along the
track about a quarter of a mile from
the station. A spark from the steel
set fire to dry grass near, and the ‘
flames, fanned by the wind, swept
through the brush towards Mr. Wal
ker with alarming speed. In spite
of his frantic efforts it gained on him,
and rushed on to engulf the powder
house. It was about twenty minutes
before help came. A dozen men- hur
ried to the scene, some carrying out
powder to a place of safety, while
others backed down an engine and at
tached a hose to the boiler tank.
Mr. Walker is nursing a very large
and painful burn on his arm, which
will leave a scar to remind him for
the rest of his life of his lucky escape.
