THREE HUNDRED
CASES OF FLU
ATUNALASKA
United States Marshal F. R. Bren
neman received another wire from
Unalaska last week stating that there
were 320 cases of influenza at Un
alaska and 13 deaths, and that the epi
demic was sweeping the district. It
was urged that help be dispatched
Instantly. Marshal Brenneman placed
the facts before the government and
the gunboat Vicksburg, which was
lying at Juneau was dispatched with
doctors, nurses and medicines to the
relief of the stricken.
Miss Katherine Miller, of Valdez
and Miss Clara Morris, both of whom
were until recently nurses in the gen
eral hospital at Cordova, left on the
steamer Admiral Watson last Wednes
day for Bristol bay, where they will
assist in the work of fighting the epi
demic of infleunza now raging in
that section.
The young ladies were accompan
ied by General Superintendent Branch
of the Libby, McNeill & Libby can
neries in Alaska. They will go as
far as Kenai on the WStson where
they will take one of the Libby, Mc
Neill & Libby cannery tenders for Ili
amna bay. From this point they will
make a portage of 14 miles between
the bay and Iliamna lake and thence
94 miles down the lake to the Kvi
chak river and thence to Bristol bay in
a launch.
Miss Miller is a Valdez girl, and
one of the best known nurses in the
territory. The trip will be a hard
one on the ladies, as they will be com
pelled to wade streams, ford rivers
and climb several hundred feet to get
from Iliamna to the take.
The recurrence of the influenza at
many points in the territory where
it was believed to have been wiped
out is causing the authorities much
uneasiness and every precaution will
be taken to stamp out the disease be
fore it again visots the lower coast
sections.

TO HONOR MAJ. FARWELL
WASHINGTON, June 9 (by Asso

pico oil fields plan to erect a monu
ment at Tampico, Mexico, to the mem

NOTICE
Acting under instructions from
Charles E. Herron, owner of the Her
ald Publishing Co., the Cordova Sun
day Herald has been suspended.
This action is taken, not because of
the lack of support, but chiefly by
reason of the difficulty in obtaining
competent help. The Sunday Herald
was a paying publication and it is
with regret that the paper is sus
pended.
All outstanding bills will be paid by
the undersigned and money paid for
advance subscriptions will be re
funded.

of the 361st Infantry against the Ger
mans. Request for permission to place
the memorial has been sent to the
Mexican government.
Major Farwell was employed as a
civil engineer in the Tampico fields
when the United States entered the
war and he was largely instrumental
in inducing the American employes to
remain on the job and not to carry
out their intention to return to the
United States and enlist. Officials here
said that had the men left the govern
ment would have been seriously em
barrassed through the curtailment of
oil production that would have fol
lowed.

IMPROVE AR
WORN CITIES
NEW YORK, June 9 (by Associated
Press).—The Methodist Missionary
Centennary announced today broad
plans for a movement along social
lines for world betterment which in
cludes the adoption of twelve French
towns on the Chateau-Thierry battle
field for reconstruction, the creation of
recreation centers in many war-worn
cities of France and Italy, the building
of hospitals in darkest Africa and es

This vast sociological and indus

women from the schools and colleges.
More than 20,000 Methodist Episcopal
churches, including both the Northern
and Southern branches, are behind the
Centennary movement, which is in
spired by the belief of the church
leaders that the world is confronted
jy the dangerous spectre of Bolshe
vism which should be met by religious
nfluence.
