INDIAN TRIBES
ARE WIPED OUT
BY INFLUENZA
SA1.T BAKU CITY. .Inn. So (by As
sociated Press).—Certain trilies of In
dians on reservations in Utah have
been almost decimated by the influ
enza epidemic, acording to unconfirm
ed reports reaching the state board
of health here. The seourage is said
to have caused the death of at least
2.000 of the different tribesman on a
part of the Navajo reservation in
southern Utah and Arizona, one re
port says.
Advices from San Juan county, in
the southern part of the state, say
that fully 2.bt)0 perished when the epi
demic swept tiie Navajo reservation.
Bodies are being found in many out
of the way places.it is reported,where
Indians, men. women and children,
died alone and far from medical as
sistance. A canvass is being made in
this section, and it is feared that one
or two small trilies may have been
wiped out entirely. Realizing the cpi
domic character of the disease the In
dians wander away from their tribes
men. it is said, and strict account of
deaths is virtually impossible.
The Uinta reservation, situated in
Uinta county, this state, also had a
visitation of the seourage. according
to a letter receivd recently front an
employe of the Indian service at
Ouray, Uinta county, by Thomas Red
mond. former field inspector for the
government bureau of animal indus
try. Up to New Year's day. says the
letter. 62 Indians on the Uinta reser
vation died of iulluenzu. More than
20 Uncompaghre tribesmen have gone
to met the Great White Father, the
letter says. Members of the Wtllo'"
creek tribes have left the reservation
for the hills and It was not known
whether they had suffered. Hitter
creek,Utes, from this reservation also
are Haiti to have suffered to some ex
tent.

DEMAND MORE PAY
LONDON, Jan. 30 (by Associated
Press). Two thousand agents em
ployed by a London insurance com
pany have notified their employer's
officers tha they will strike unless
their weekly wage of about $14.65 is
i not increased by $5. They have also
! inaugurated a movement to organize
' the agents of other companies, and
' thus enforce the demand throughout
the country.
At the preliminary meeting, when
I th demands were formulated, and the
1 men appointed a committee to call
1 on the directors, their leader. David
Jones, of Leeds, advised them to
make their demands retroactive from
January 1. 1918. in order that they
might be paid for the advanced cost
of living in the lust year of the war.
•‘If your demands ure refused," said
Mr. Jones, “take concerted action
within a month." The suggestion was
cheered.
The men claim that the company
pays to Its stockholders 40 per cent,
free of Income tax, on a capitalization
of $5,000,000.

uetl at $262,131. and dutiable imports
at $3,239. Among the important mi
ports were: Foal, 2.831 totis. lumber,
225,211 feet.

pounds; salted salmon. 180.151]
pounds; salted herring. 789.570
pounds; reindeer meat, 100,000
