DRAW SAYS FLU
CAME BY WAY OF
FI
While it is probable that it will
never be known for a certainty how
the flu came to Interior Alaska,!
there is considerable evidence avail-1
able which tends to show that the
dread disease followed the Richard- i
son highway from the coast to Fair '
banks, from which point it spread
quickly to Xenana.
!
Assistant Territorial Health Of
ficer J. A. Sutherland and the Fair-*
banks News-Miner claim that "the:
I
flu came over the famous Broad i
Pass, via Xenana.” “They had it j
in Anchorage.” the Fairbanks paper I
says, “just before it reached the :
Interior. A man flew out of An- i
ehorage to escape it, and brought it i
with him. He came over the Broad
Pass to X'enana and then out to
Bridge 5, where he infected the :
whole bunch there with it.”
It is true that the epidemic first ‘
made its appearance among the em- ;
ployes of the Alaskan Engineering
commission at Bridge 5. They were '
taken to Fairbanks for treatment ;
on April 23, and on the day follow
ing the town was placed under quar
antine. On April 25 a special train
was despatched from Fairbanks with
Bridge Engineers Angier and Fogel
strom, and almost immediately after
! the arrival of the train at Xenana, .
Chief Steward Jesse Brown and an
| other man, who came down with the
I engineers, were taken to the Gov
jernment hospital with well-developed
cases of the flu. Conductor Tom
j Hogan and Brakeman Joe McClure
took the bridge engineers to the
j end of steel, rode in the same car
, with them, and when they arrived
I.
jin town on the return trip they also
j had the flu, and were removed that
j night to the Government hospital.
I And now The News is informed
by Re-'. Frederick B. Drane, of St.
Mark's mission, that the flu made
its appearance on the Fairbanks
iChitina trail as early as April 18.
He was enroute to the upper Tan
ana at the time, and cut short his
| trip when he learned that the flu
jhad reached the roadhouse beyond
him. From the summit it spread
rapidly to all the roadhouses along
the trail, evidently having been car
iried from place to place by the
* Brower stages, as numerous of the
■ Brower drivers were among those
i taken ill. There were six flu cases
1 between the summit and Donnellys.
The disease followed the winter
trail all the way to Fairbanks, and
;then back over the summer trail
after the winter trail had been
: abandoned for the season.
, Mr. Drane retraced his steps to
;the native village at Salcha, where
.he and George Hillar, of the Salcha
1 roadhouse, nursed the villagers dur
ing their illness, bringing them
through without a death. There
1 were about. 30 cases there, and not
a single one of the natives devel
oped pneumonia. The quick recov
:ery of the natives at that point,
I Mr. Drane says, was due to the time
ily action and skillful nursing of Mr.
Hillar, who gave his attention ;o
ithem when the first case appeared.
After the natives at Salcha had
been restored to health, Mr. Drane
came on down river to the village
just below Chena, where he found
many of the natives ill and a num
ber of cases of pneumonia. Six of
the men and a blind woman died.
Mr. Drane found conditions im
proving upon his arrival at the Xe

nana village. There are several
•erious cases there, but most of the
villagers appear to be on the mend,
lue to the careful nursing of Alfred
Linder and Private Clarence Rigsby,
of whose services Mr. Drane speaks
very highly.
Mr. Drane says that he was not
disabled by the flu himself, although
he had a touch of the disease.

There was a further concentration j
of flu patients today, when all the
cases under treatment at the South
ern hotel were removed to the Gov-1
ernment hospital. Those of the pa-!
tients well enough to leave the hos
pital were taken to their homes, j
where they will complete their con- j
valeseence.
This action was taken because of
the appearance of water in the
Southern basement and consequent j
danger of furnace trouble. The wa- |
ter had nearly reached the furnace ]
grates before the last patient had j
been removed from the building. j
The number of patients has de- j
ertased materially during the week, j
but of those remaining under treat- j
ment several are very ill and will j
require the best of treatment to re- j
store them to health.
Conditions generally are rapidly ■
becoming normal. There has been j
a general resumption of business in |
town and the camps along the line j
are again filling with workers, every
train leaving Nenana carrying a con
siderable number of passengers for
points north and south of town.
Work is also being resumed in the
general offices of the commission in |
town, and within a short time the j
railroad work will be in full prog-!
ress again, limited only by the num-1
ber of men available for work.
Reports from the end of steel in
dicate that the patients in the sev-!
eral emergency hospitals there are
recovering rapidly, with marked im
provement also in the condition of
those seriously ill.
