SLIDES CRIPPLE
ROUTE TO COAST
Additional trouble on the Fair
banks-Cordova rout is reported to
day, advices from the coast stating
that the Copper River & Northwest
i ern railroad has been put out of
! commission temporarily by snow
I slides between Chitina and Cor
'dova. It is not known how big the
I slides are or when they are likely
| to be cleared, but there appears to
! be no doubt of the fact that the
‘road is blocked effectually and that
jthe use of rotaries will be necessary
, to restore communication.
; It is believed that the Interior
■ bound passengers who reached Cor
jdova this week on the Northwestern
'passed over the road before the
! slides occurred, in which event the
[slides, if removed soon, will cause
; little inconvenience to the traveling
! public, inasmuch as the trail north
! of Chitina is still blocked by over
: flows, with no signs of immediate
abatement.
Overflows on the Fairbanks trail
are not unusual at this season of
'the year, but the inundation this
'spring appears to be much worse
(than hitherto recorded. The stretch
of water on the lake near Yosts is
'both longer and deeper than usual,
and the snow is so deep in that
i locality that it is practically im
possible to open the summer trail
,'around the lake.
Conditions quite the opposite pre
I vail on the Nenana-Broad Pass trail,

I travel this winter than ever before.
| This trail, like the Fairbanks trail,
|'has been hard hit by storms and
I deep snow, but at no time during

|'except possibly during the progress

II trails declare that there is now no

OF FLO ATTACK
i Durwood Hocker, until a short
jtime ago sergeant-cashier of the sig
!nal corps in Fairbanks, who was
Jenroute to the States from Valdez,
jwhere he received his discharge from
it'ne service, and who contracted the
: flu on the voyage down the coast
| and was taken from the steamer to
la hospital, upon the arrival of the
vessel at the capital this week, died
' there yesterday afternoon shortly
I after two o’clock. Death is attrib
uted to a complication of troubles
resulting from the flu.
The report received from Juneau
| last night stated that the deceas.ed
was unconscious for about twenty
; hours prior to his death, and that
'he grew steadily worse in spite of
'heroic efforts employed by Juneau
idoctors and nurses to save him. The
case, toward the last, had somewhat
(the appearance of brain fever.
1 The deceased was very well known
;and popular in Fairbanks, where he
.resided for a number of years. He
^was married in Xenana, at the home
;of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gilcher,
: about a year and a half ago, to
!Miss Irene Koadruck, and, at the
'time of his death, both he and Mrs.
' Hooker were enroute to the States,
where Mr. Hocker planned to go'
into business with J. H. Caskev. Uo !
jto the time the Citizen plant was i
!destroyed by fire, the deceased de
voted practically all of his spare
{hours to newspaper work.
Mrs. Hooker left Fairbanks some
time after her husband did, her
j plans being to go direct to Seat
jtle, while her husband was compelled
| to go to Valdez for his discharge
jfrom the army. She might have
lreached Juneau in time to be at her
j husband’s side during his illness,
however, but for the fact that she

was held up on the Fairbank’s-Chit
ina trail by the big overflow near
Yosts. She was still at Millers this
morning, when the sad news was
[forwarded to her, and it is still very
[uncertain when she and the other
j marooned passengers will be able to

proceed on their way to the coast.
It is undeerstood that a special ef
fort was made yesterday to pet
around the overflow', for the sake
of Mrs. Hocker, but while Bob Shel
don managed it somehow, none «.f
the others was successful.
