VICTIM
Popular Young Fairbanks Printer
Succumbs to Epidemic at
Camp Lewis, Washington.
A phone message from Fairbanks
! this afternoon contained the sad
! intelligence of the death of young
Dorman Baker, at Camp Lewis, near
Seattle. His death occurred this
morning, the result of an attack
i of Spanish influenza being the
; cause.
! Dorman was a real sourdough,
being brought North by his parents
j when he was very young in the
| early days of the Klondike rush.
He was practically raised in Fair
banks, where he got his education,
and where he is widely known and
liked by all who knew him.
Before his induction into the
service of his country, he was em
ployed as linotype operator with
(the Alaska Citizen, and had intended
coming back North as soon as he
; was released by the army authori
: | ties.
j Dorm, as he was affectionately
. known by many, was the possessor
of a bright and cheerful disposition
! and was ever obliging and court
I ecus, qualities that endeared him to
^ a host of people of both sexes, who
j will be grieved to hear of his death.
He left Fairbanks with the last ,
j contingent of Alaska registrants,
j and was only 23 years old when he
i passed away.
He is survived by his parents
: Mr. and Mrs. Roy Furguson, of
Fairbanks, a little sister, and his
, brother Forbes, who is machinists
j in the navy, being attached to the
Pacific fleet.

ALTER LONG DELAY
Roy Lund, with nearly 200 pounds
of mail for Nenana, arrived at the
quarantine camp at 1:20 this after
noon. He was delayed very con
siderably owing to the windfalls
along the route, especially from the
Ohio roadhouse to Dunbars.
The mail was brought into Ne
nana by Dutch Blankfield, who went
out after it, taking the Nenana mail
consigned to Fairbanks and beyond,
which was transferred to Lund.
Roy Lund will probably leave the
quarantine camp tomorrow morning
on his return journey.
MESOPOTAMIA LANDS
YIELD BOUNTEOUS CROPS
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Despite
the fact that war has been raging
throughout Mesopotamia and that
many of the inhabitants abandoned
their homes and holdings, the soil
of that region has been made to
add a large share to the world’s
production of foodstuffs for 1918.
A report from Consul Oscar S.
Heizer at Bagdad tells of record
crops in many parts of the land of
the Caliphs. The British armjf au-!
thorities are given credit for much
of this production. As a result, it
is estimated there will be a surplus
of 120,000 tons of barley and wheat
after supplying the needs of the
civil inhabitants.
