CLAIM KOBUK IS
UNPROTECTED
,
A recent arrival from tie- Kovukuk
countrv brings the news that abso
lut.ely no quarantine measures have
been taken to protect that district
against the influenza epidemic, and
i that a real danger of the introduction
of the disease into the district ami
I spread to others exists
There is a well-known highway of
travel from the Kohuk country to
Alatna and the mission at Allakaket.
and especially during the winter sea
son the natives are constantly trav
I cling bet ween these places. Travelers
i say that tie- natives on the coast on
| Seward peninsula, in the neighborhood
of the Nome country, who have been
thoroughly frightened at the ravages
| of influenza, are leaving the coast
region and going to the Kohuk coun
try in large numbers, and may pos
sibly spread the disease.
There is a large native village in
the Kohuk country known as Kong
Beach, and unrestricted travel be
t )ug !'« ' h and the native vil
lages of Alatna and Allakaket is usual
I during the winter months, the trail
from the Kohuk leading along tin*
edge of the Baird mountains to the
headwaters ot the Alatna and then
on down that stream.
The natives tleeiing from the Sew
ard peninsula to escape the disease
| are said to b* making for Kong Beach
and other Kohuk villages, between
which and the Kovukuk camps there
I are no quarantine restrictions. From
tin- I. buk to Fort (iibbon. along the

NEW INDUSTRY
LOS AN'GKLKS, .hill. A Illockades
of foreign nations, caused by the war.
have served to stimulate the estali
lishment of industries in America to
supply tlie demand for many commodi
ties. The latest industry to find root
in Southern California is the growing
of the currant grape, much used in
preparing the succulent Christmas
plum pudding and other delicacies.
For Centuries regarded as native
only to Greece, the Liberty fair re
cently held here has demonstrated that
this commodity can be grown suc
cessfully in California. When the
blockade of Greece, early in the war,
shut down on the importation of the
currant grapes, the department of ag
riculture bought to stimulate tin if
culture here.
Most Americans probably have
thought that the dried grapes used in
puddings and cakes are the dried fruit
of the currant bush. In reality, how
ever, the currants of commerce are
made from these currant grapes.
One of the outstanding features of
the currant grapes' culture Is the
method adopted to force the setting
on of fruit from the blossoms. While
the vines are in bloom they are
“girdled," two parallel incisions be-!
ing made through the hark around I
either the trunks, arms or canes of j
the vines. The bark between these
incisions is then removed.
How this particular variety of
grapes came to be called currant Is
explained by the government experts.
During the eleventh century, it ap
pears, tn the old herbals and in the
literature of the fourteenth, fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, references to
them occur as "reysyns de corauntz,"
"corauntz," "corent," “reysons of
Corawnce" and "curcans."
Previous to the war the United
States annually imported more than
30,000,000 pounds of dried currants
front Greece, the equivalent of 50,000
tons of fresh grapes. The prospec
tive importance of the new industry
can be realized from these figures.
