Many years ago, Mr. Joseph
O. Sawyer- as superintendent of
construction, was engaged in a rail
road building project in the vicinity
of Fort Riley, Kansas, when an out
break of cholera occurred and
many died Among those who suc
cumbed to the epidmic was Major
Edmund Ogden, a great friend of
Mr. Sawyer^, and shortly after the
construction work was finished, Mr.
Sawyer erected a monument to the
memory of his friend.
The following clipping from an
Eastern paper tells a remarkable
story:
“It will be remembered by many
that several years ago our govern
ment made a geological survey to
determine the center of the United
States between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans.
From the East and West the sur
veying parties met at the grave of
Major Edmund Ogden and found
that the monument marked the
exact center of this country.
It will be of interest to our citi
zens to learn that this monument
was erected to the memory of Maj.
Ogden by his dear friend Joseph O.
Sawyer. It is Kansas graystone
and is situated on a high point of
land on the public reservation at
Fort Riley, Kansas, and can fe
seen for miles, and it bears this
inscription:
Sacred to the Memory of
MAJOR. EDMUND OGDEN
Erected by His Friend
Joseph O. Sawyer.
The story is of considerable 1(^1
interest, owing to the fact that'
Mrs John A. Flower, of Nenana,
is a daughter of Joseph O. Sawyer,
the man who erected the monument
in the exact spot which marks the
center of the United States.
Nenana Lodge Xo. 1193- Loyal
Order of Moose, held their first
regular meeting for the year at
Moose Hall, on Fourth and Market
streets, last night.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at X p. m., and the us^ial
routine of the lodge business was
put through. Messrs Charles Sel
lender and J. McPheley were duly
initiated into the order and O. M
Jackson, who was a member of the
Fairbanks lodge, joined tile local
lodge by affiliation.
Immediately after the business
meeting, a social session was en
joyed, culminating in one of those
famous Moose feeds, the antlered
brethern “browsing” on the good
things provided and having a good
time generally, until a late hour.
AUTOMOBILE IS IN
FROM UPPER TOWN
A Burgess-Karstens automobile ar
rived this afternoon from Fairbanks

Mrs. G. C. Cartwright and five
little boys, the eldest not 15 years
of age, recently cut four carloads

A.
EPIDEMIC SHOWS
j A rumor was current in town this j
morning to the effect that several
cases of influenza had occurred at
Copper Center and that one death
had resulted from this cause.
Dr. David More, on being apprised
of the rumor by the News, phoned i
to Dr. Sutherland, who was unable
to confirm it at the time. He, how
ever, told Dr. More that he had
wired for particulars.
Later on, in the afternoon, Dr. I
Sutherland informed Dr. More that!
twenty-five cases of the disease had
occurred among the natives assem
bled for a potlatch at Gulkana- No
deaths were reported. Gulkana is
on the Fairbanks-Valdez trail, and is
approximately 2(5 miles distant from
Copper Center; both places are
within the limits of the Third di
vision. Dr. Sutherland's message
indicated that the disease came into
Gulkana probably by way of Valdez.
Steps have been taken by the
territorial health officer to safe
guard the Interior and all travel
from the Third division has been
stopped. Extra guards have been
put on to see that the mail carriers
and stage drivers do not come in
contact with a possible source of
infection, and if necessary, extra
quarantine will be established.
I>r. More stated that there would
appear to be no cause for alarm
as the territorial health officer ap
pears to have taken every possible
precaution very promptly to prevent
the introduction of the disease into
this district.
Until such time as the disease is
stamped out at Gulkana, there will
be no travel on the Chitina trail.

AMERICANS TRUSTED
BY RUSSIAN PEOPLE
HARBIN, Manchuria.—America’s
friendship for Russia is recognized
by the Manchuria, a labor organ
of this city, which declares editor
ially that the words of the United
States can be trusted and that
American diplomacy is straight
forward and democratic. The paper
quotes the American consul at Ir
kutsk as announcing that the United
States would in no way interfere
in Russian internal affairs.
“We must learn from America
to build our fortunes by ourselves
and develop the wealth of our caur.
try,” the Manchuria says. “America
is our true friend offering her
services without any hypocrisy if
we desire them. Russia and America!
How strong would be such an al
liance. What possibilities it would
present to our long suffering coun
try. America extends to us a help
ing hand. May we not fail to grasp
it. And it must not be forgotten
for one moment that if anyone
should occupy Siberia it will not
be America.”
