FOR CONFERENCE
Dr. J. A. Sutherland, of Fair
banks, who is assistant commissioner .
of health for the Fourth Judicial
division under Governor Riggs, who
is commissioner of health for the
territory, arrived in town last night
from Fairbanks to confer with the
local Board of Health and Mr. F. D.
Browne, regarding the measures;
adopted for the prevention of the
introduction of the influenza into j
the Tanana valley, more especially'
in the towns of Fairbanks and Ne
nana.
A conference was held at the:
office of the townsite manager last j
night; those present besides Dr. |
Sutherland being Mr. F. D. Browne,1
Mrs. Sweeney, Dr. David More,
James Hagan and Townsite Manager
Joseph. i
Dr. Sutherland said that the
people of Fairbanks have the im
pression that Nenanaites think that
the territorial health officers have
done nothing in the way of taking
quarantine measures, this impression
being strengthened by the establish
ment in Nenana of a quarantine
against Fairbanks. He said that the
Territorial Board of Health have es
tablished seven quarantine stations.
The quarantine station at Mc
Grath, in the Kuskokwim country,
is in charge of Dr. Green and shuts
in that section against the Seward
Peninsula and Cooks Inlet country;
there are also stations at Flat, in
the Iditarod country; Nulato, Ruby,
Eagle and Cordova. Dr. Randall,
who is in charge of the station at
Nulato, is also vested with the
powers of a deputy marshal and he
has been directed to take strong
quarantine measures. He has ac
cordingly closed all mail routes. The
drivers of the mail teams are com
pelled to wear masks and mail is
Exchanged out on the trail.
On the Fairbanks-Valdez trail
every telegraph operator from Pax
sons to rairbanks has been made a
quarantine officer and has orders
to report to Dr. Sutherland the
movements of travelers bound for
the Interior, their names and places
of destination.
i
A quarantine station has been es
tablished at the Piledriver roadhouse
about 28 miles from Fairbanks,
which is so arranged that those who
have already put in a part of the
quarantine period will not come in
j contact with new arrivals. All per
, sons coming in over the trail are
placed in quarantine at the Pile
j driver roadhouse for a period of ten
^ days.
The mails for the Interior are
I taken off the stage at the Piledriver
roadhouse and are transferred to
I fumigated sacks which are sent out
| for this purpose from Fairbanks,
j On receipt of the mails at Fair
banks, they i re again fumigated by
I being subje :ted to the fumes of
I formaldehyde for twelve hours. Onoi
of the big vaults of the defunct
Washington-Alaska hank being used
for the fumigation.
Dr. Sutherland thought that ihe
quarantine measurer adept-d by the
territory were > -.*• stringent, and
wished to know of the arrangements'
made by the local Non -1 of Heii’<h|
for preventing the introduction of.
the disease A copy of yesterday’s!
issue of ihe N'enana News, contain-J
ing the rules and regulations regard- j
ing the N'enana quarantine was
handed to the doctor It also gave
a synopsis of the quarantine meas
ures to be put in force immediately.
Mr. Browne stated that the build
ings which were to serve as quar
antine stations on the Nenana-Fair
banks line have been fixed up com
fortably and that the necessary sup
plies and the men who will be in j
charge go out this morning, and the
quarantine will become effective and
in full force just as soon as the
men reach their stations. Regarding,
the quarantine against Anchorage,
Mr. Browne stated that a quarantine
station had been formed at mile 373,
also known as Nenana Crossing, and
that the engineering party, store
keeper and timekeeper were made
quarantine officers with power to
detain anyone coming in towards
Nenana. A suitable building to J
house those who will be detained
until the quarantine period has
elapsed, with messing facilities,etc., j
has been secured. Beyond the end |
of the graded works on the right
of way, in the neighborhood of the
Nenana Canyon, the engineering
party under H. K. Ward have in
structions to detain and examine
travelers headed towards Nenana;
they will be directed to the quaran
tine station at Mile 373 for deten
tion. All of the camps and quar
antine stations have been connected
by telephone and the authorities here
will, be notified of any arrivals at
any one of the camps and what steps
have been taken.
The quarantine organization has
been so arranged, Mr. Browne said,
that at a moment's notice the guards
canbe doubled or even quadrupled
if necessary, the cordon drawn
tighter and temporary structures
erected to meet any emergency.
For the purpose of discouraging
travel from the coast to Nenana,
Anchorage has been notified of the
stringent measures adopted and
has been requested to give publicity
to the fact that people coming in I
over the ^Sroad Pass trail will be |
turned back. Nenana is a little j
differently situated as regards trail j
travel from Fairbanks, and the same !
conditions that obtain on the Valdez
trail are nqt present on the Broad
Pass trail, where travel conditions
are rather more severe. Mr. Browne
thought that it would take a traveler
at least six days to make the jour
ney from Anchorage to the Nenana
Crossing over the Broad Pass trail,
and that we could not very well
turn back anyone who succeeds in
reaching the Crossing, and so it is
the intention to detain them at the
quarantine station here.
Some discussion was entered into
regarding the Indians and their free
movements; both Drs. More and
Sutherland being of the opinion that
the greatest danger of infection
lay through them. The regulations
governing Indian travel, etc., adopted
at Nenana were thought to meet the
requirements along these lines. It
was understood that the Indians
were all leaving the village on hunt
ing trips and that they would be
gone about three months. Mr. Hagan
said that the hunting grounds of the
Nenana Indians were in the neigh
borhood of the Middle river, and in
the Toklat and Kantishna country,
and that they did not come into con
tact with the McKinley Indians, as
suggested by Dr. Sutherland; and
Mr. Hagen thought that their move
ments could be easily kept track
of and all danger avoided.
Dr. Sutherland said that the
people of Fairbanks felt rather hurt
at Nenana’s action in establishing
a quarantine against that town.
They did not have the disease and j
had taken all necessary precautions j
even to the extent of arranging for j
ample accommodations and an ade-J
quate nursing staff to take care of I
the sick in case of an outbreak.
Mr. Browne thought that it was un
wise to allow intercommunication,
travel during the winter season be
ing really not necessary. The people
of Nenana, he thought, would not
feel hurt if Fairbanks establishes
a strict quarantine against this town.
Precautionary measures of the most
stringent variety were more neces
sary here than at Fairbanks, in view
of the fact that a large number of
men are housed in the dormitories
and great numbers congregated at
meal times in the Commission mess
house of the A. E. C.
Dr. Sutherland was set right on
many points on which he appeared
to be misinformed, and the meeting
came to a close. Dr. Sutherland
left this morning for Fairbanks.
