NORTH OF TOWN
The local board of health, com
posed of Mrs. M. J. Sweeney, Dr.
Davd H. More and H. B. Joseph,
has taken formal action, lifting the
quarantine established some time
ago against travel from Fairbanks
and lower Tanana river points.
The board also has decided to dis
continue the use of ribbon badges
temporarily, but cautions owners of
badges to preserve them, as the
wearing of them will again be re
quired should it become advisable
at any time to renew the restric
tions against travel.
The quarantine station on the
right of way south of Nenana will
be continued indefinitely as a pre
caution against the introduction of
influenza from the coast, by way
of Broad Pass. The board also
will continue to exclude residents
of the native village adjoining town,
except at such times as the natives
are in the hills, and there appears
to be no danger from that quarter,
when the mission staff will be per
mitted to come and go at will.
Action was taken by the health
board last night, following a spe
; eial meeting of the General Health
committee, composed of the mem
| bers of the Health board, the Ad
I visory board, Frederick D. Browne,
Commisisoner McDonald and Deputy
I Marshal James Hagen. The meet
, ing was called by Mr. Browne, who
explained to the members that the
i action taken at the mass meeting
; did not seem to fully cover the situ
j ation. He called attention to the
ifaet that travelers from Fairbanks
I as decided at the mass meeting
were to be permitted to enter Ne
nana upon the presentation of a
certificate of health, signed by the
Fairbanks health officer. They might
tarry along the trail indefinitely
and mingle with travelers from the
lower river subject to the quaran
tine regulations. Such a state of
affairs, Mr. Browne belived to be
inconsistent, and a needless dis
crimination against lower river com
munities among which there are no
evidences of influenza.
Dr. More assured the members of
the committee that he could see no
objection to' removing all restric
tions on travel from points north
of Nenana He belivetl the action
taken by the health authorities of
the Nome division, prohibiting de
partures from that divsion, safe
guarded Nenana from that direction.
And with a territorial quarantine
; station on the upper Yukon, near
l the Canadian line, the Interior coun-,
'try had nothing to fear from that
I quarter. The distance between
J towns and the fact that travel is
unusually light on Interior trails
this winter rendered the safety of
the Interior country doubly secure,
in the doctor’s opinion. He also
called attention to the fact that
i Fairbanks had not ' quarantined
against the lower river, therein
rendering such a quarantine at Ne
nana ineffective.
But while the doctor felt reason
ably secure in advising the lifting
of the quarantne north of town, he
j stated that condtions seemed to
j warrant a continuance of restric
| tions to the south of town and as
applied to the natives of the nearby
village.
While this question was under dis
cussion, Territorial Health Officer
Sutherland phoned from Fairbanks
and when asked for his opinion re
garding the treatment of the villag
ers, insisted that the utmost pre
cautions be taken to prevent the
natives from coming in contact with
residents of Nenana. He suggested
that steps be taken to prevent the
return of natives to their village,
without proper quarantine, after
visits to their hunting grounds or
elsewhere, through fear that thev
may have come in contact with
natives of other sections.
After Dr. More had expressed his
views on the situation, the other
members of the committee signified
a willingness to be guided by the
Health board in matters pertaining
to the quarantine, and the rear
rangement of quarantine details was
left to that body for further con
|J
sideration and final disposition, with
the result above stated.
Advices received from the mis
sion, which were made known at
the meeting, state that there is at i
present but one native Family- and I
one other native at the village, and
that they will depart for the Middlef
river country within a very short j
time. The advices also stated that!
-the—health—ef
remaining ‘
natives is good, and that all
the j
children living at the mission are'
well. In view of these facts, the
Health board probably will lift the j
ban on the mission staff within aj
day or two, and they will be per-1
mitted to travel to and from town,
at their pleasure until such time I
as the native villagers return, which
may be late in the winter.
Quarantine stations Nos. 1, 3,
and 4 are to be discontinued im
mediately, but it is possible that
one or more of the guards will be
retained in the capacity of roving
quarantine officers to keep cases
on the natives throughout the dis
trict, to prevent them from ap
proaching Xenana from any quarter
While there may be some who
hold to the belief that the pre
cautions taken by the local health
authorities have imposed needless
restrictions upon the community,
the members of the General Health
committee feel that their efforts
have not been in vain. The very
prompt action taken by Nenana,
they firmly believe, stimulated quar
antine activities elsewhere and
aroused other communities to the
seriousness of the situation. It had
the effect, also, of curbing travel
from coastal points at a time when
the epidemic was spreading rapidly
throughout the coast country. With
the epidemic subsiding, the remain
ing restrictions at all approaches
. to the Interior appear to the com
mittee to be sufficient to insure
the continued health of Interior
Alaska

night, which was held at the town
