PEAK OF FLU IS
CLOSE AT HAND
Although a number of new flu
I cases were reported in Fairbanks
‘this morning, it is the belief of the
; health authorities of the upper town
jthat the peak of the epidemic is
l near a; hand, if it has not already
been reached. The situation looks
‘ much better today, and in spite of
the fact that conditions generally
| are still very much upset, there is a
feeling of relief abroad and the be
■ lief is growing that things will soon
be restored to normal.
: :
Several of those who were first
‘taken ill in the Fairbanks district,
■including Jesse Bryant, whose case
was a serious one, were discharged
j by the doctors yesterday, more were
i released today, and it is expected
; that recoveries will gain steadily
from now on. In fact, the situation
:has improved to such an extent that
it has been decided that it will not
be necessary to
the Shaw
.— °P«n
house, which was to have been used
as an emergency hospital had the
i ; epidemic continued to spread.
; Among the latest cases reported
iare those of all the member? of the
;fire department with the exception
of one, and volunteers are now
! standing guard pending the recovery
of the fireboys. Jim Fairborn and
! Andrew Nerland have signed on as
| volunteers.
All the barber shops of the upper
town are closed today, two clothing
i stores are temporarily out of busi
ness, and the key in the door of
one of the town's jewelry stores has
been turned, owing to the illness of
: the owner. The other business places
are getting along as best they can
'shorthanded, including the Xews
Miner, which lost two of its force
this morning, with a third on the
• verge of going to the hospital.
Four of the sisters at St. Joseph's
hospital are among the late patients,
having been taken ill yesterday.
A call was received from Dunbar's
yesterday for a doctor, but Fair
1 banks was unable to respond, owing
1 to the great need of doctors in the
' upper town.
1 Fairbanks creek has established a
strict quarantine against Fairbanks
town and all nearby creeks and
travel in that direction will be pro
hibited until all danger is past.
Quarantines also have been estab
lished bv several Interior towns, in
i
eluding Circle, Fort Yukon, Tanano,
and others.

TRAVEL IS STOPPED !
ON FAIRBANKS LINE
_
It has been decided by the Ne
nana health board and the official?
of the Alaskan Engineering com
,, . , !
mission to stop ail travel between
N'enana and Fairbanks, notwith-1
standing the fact that the flu is j
prevalent in both towns.
This step was decided upon be- i ,
cause of the fact that the epidemic
i!
appears to be more general in the \ j
upper town, and it is hoped that theM
number of cases in N'enana can be . j
kept down*greatly if the district is j <
isolated. j
For the present, travel will con- j j
tinue as usual between Nenana andij
the end of steel, except that it will j j
be restricted to those whose busi-!J
ness calls them to town or to points I j
on the line south of town. Promi*-:j
cuous traveling back and forth will j
be discouraged. |
i Bill Arthur came into town last j
evening from out the line with a !
bruised leg. the result of coming ,
into violent contact with a falling
iron apron.
