was well known throughout the In
terior country.
His home was in Chicago before
coming to Alaska.
This is the first death that has
occurred in N’enana since the start
of the epidemic, in spite of the fact
that several very serious cases have
developed, all being of the pneu
monia type.
Thelma J. O’Connor, wife of Joe
O’Connor, of the Terminal, passed
away at the Cooney house shortly
after noon today, a victim of pneu
monia. She was among the first
in Xenana to become ill, and for
several days prior to her death was
in a critical condition, as the re
sult of the development of pneu
monia. The death of Mrs. O'Con
nor was the second to occur in
Xenana since the commencement of
the epidemic.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor were mar
ried in Xenana on January 12. Mr.
O’Connor has the sympathy of the
entire community in his hour of
sorrow.
TOKIO IS HARD HIT
BY INFLUENZA WAVE
TOKIO.—-A striking feature of
the epidemic of influenza here was
the grotesque appearance of Tokio
crowds wearing all kinds of respira
tors, from the celluloid artificial
nose to the patch of black taste
fully embroidered by the aesthetic
schoolgirl. Inoculation with pre
ventive serum was tried, it is claim
ed with good results, though in cer
tain cases it was said to be as fatal
as the disease itself. The death5
from influenza in January totaled
5,775.

i The work of dismantling the Ne
nana river bridge at 43-mile was
taken in hand this week and rail
communication between Nenanfc and
the end of steel is now interrupted
in consequence. This action was
taken by the Alaskan Engineering
commission in order that timbers
and rails, which are difficult to re
place, might not be exposed to dan
ger, incident to the spring breakup
in the Xenana river.
During the time that the line is
broken at the crossing, two trains
will be operated on regular train
[days. one on the Xenana end and
another to make the run between
;the river and the end of steel. A
footbridge has been built on the
| piling for the convenience of pass
engers, and this will be available
| for use until the piling is carried
'away by the ice. The walk has
been built several feet below the
jtop of the piling, a plank along the
top serving as a handrail. The
'piling on the lower side of the
bridge was used, as it is probable
that it will remain in place longer
than that which will receive the full
force of the ice run, on the upper
'side.
[ Should the footbridge be carried
out by the ice, as it very likely
will be. boats will be used to ferry
passengers and freight across the
river after the breakup. And later
in the season, as soon as delivery
of equipment can be made, an
aerial tram will be installed, of
sufficient size to handle all freight
offered. The tram may be used
until another temporary bridge can
be built in the fall, and perhaps
until a permanent structure is in
place.
i The first train on the new sched
|ule went out this morning, leaving
[town at eight. It connected with
the Healy train and started back to
town at 12:30.
Both trains are running short
handed as a result of the .epidemic.
The Xenana train was short a fire
man, so Mickey Shea was forced to
(Serve temporarily in that capacity.
;The engine was in charge of Pete
[Gallagher, tind Jim Noble is run
'ning the train.

GIRL BORN IN ALASKA
GETS MINERS’ LEGACY
I Eighteen years ago, in the little
jtown of Council, Alaska, 90 miles
from Nome, when the first white
child was born in that district, the
miners made up a legacy of gold
to be presented to the child on her
jlbth birthday. Miss Grace Lubbe,
• daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. C-.
j Lubbe, recently received that legacy
I on her 18th birthday, celebrated at
| Puyallup, Washington.
On the event of Miss Lubbe’s
| birthday, says a report from Puyal
jlup, the sealed legacy was received
from a San Francisco bank, where
it had been placed for safe-keeping
until the time named to be deliv
ered. The legacy consisted of the
original purse of $155 in gold,
which, with accumulated interest, to
taled $379, and a necklace of gold
nuggets. The original list of sub
scribers, members of the Arctic
Brotherhood, was also received, and
many of the signatures were rec
ognized as those of men prominent
in Seattle, Tacoma, and San Fran
cisco today.
Miss Lubbe is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Lubbe of West
Puyallup. At the time of her birth
in Alaska her father was postmaster
and owner of a general merchandise
store at Council.
