Hyder had its first conflagration last
week, a building owned by A. Anders,
the “Cannonball Kid,” being destroyed
and several other structures threat
ened. The house was the first one
built in Hyder, and was occupied by
Mrs. M. Fern and Miss Edith Berger,
both of whom were absent at the time.
Mrs. Fern, who conducts a laundry,
was robbed about two weeks ago of
*11 her earnings.
Fighting their way through the cold
and snow, hundreds of miles to Ed
monton, many of the trappers and fur
traders have fallen victims to influ
enza. Out of eight men who reached
the city this winter from the far North
one is dead, five are in the hospital,
and two escaped after having the dis
ease for weeks. Joe Taylor of Fort
Chippewayan is the man who died
within a day after arriving at Edmon
ton.
Kate Carmacks, who with her hus
band, George Carmacks, her mother,
her cousin, Dawson Charley, and
“Skookum” Jim Mason, was a member
of the party that discovered the Klon
dike nearly a quarter of a century ago,
died recently at Carcross of pneu
monia, following an attack of influ
enza. Mrs. Carmacks wras credited
with making the actual discovery of
gold on Bonanza creek while the fam
ily were camped there.
Maurice Hurley, an old pioneer of
the North, was found dead in his
cabin at Ketchikan last week by fed
eral authorities. Neighbors reported
to the officers that they could see Hur
ley’s dead body through the window,
and when the officers went to investi
gate they tried to break in the door.

revolver, which was held tightly in
his hand. The act was his last, as he
was dead when the officers entered the
cabin.

very cold trip, his dog team being
severely frost-bitten. One animal was '
almost frozen to death in the harness,
and three others sustained frost-bites.
Furs are scarce in the district be
tween Nome and St. Michael, owing
to the absence of game. Few white
fox are being caught, and the number
of reds taken so far has been small.
Mrs. Gordon Betties, wife of the
well-known pioneer of the Kuskokwim,

illness of eight days. Mrs. Betties
