The flu epidemic which made its
appearance in the Fairbanks dis
trict last week appears to have
taken firm hold upon the communi
ty, according to reports received by
The News thus afternoon. At a
late hour last night more than 170
cases had been reported to the
health officer, and it is estimated;
that there are now 200 or more j
cases in Fairbanks, none of them, j
however, being of a serious charae- |
I ter. There are cases in all the i
! hotels, two floors of the Nordale i
(now being practically filled with j
j patients, and the basement of the j
! Catholic church has been filled with |
| cots and converted into a temporary j
jhospital. In addition, many of the j
(cases are being cared for in private]
1'homes. Tony Nordale and all of
! his assistants have the flu and th°
I hotel is running itself today.
| A special train was sent to the
'creeks late yesterday to gather up
the cases that had developed there,
iand numerous cases have been
i
(brought to town from points along
jthe Valdez trail. In fact, the disease
ihas made its appearance at every
'roadhouse on the trail, with the ex
jception of the one nearest Fair
1 banks, and nearly all the drivers
i
jfor the Brower stajte line are sick.
• And several passengers who started
'■ for the coast have returned to town
for treatment, the number including
t Vance McDonald, of Ruby,
i A first aid station has been es
tablished at the Red Cross drug
store, and all those feeling at all
| unwell are being urged to go to
the drug store for an examination.
If they have the symptoms, they
are assigned to one of the tempor
ary hospitals for treatment.
Sevciai eases of pneumonia have
developed, but none have reached a
| serious stage. John Fox, the first
|to show signs of pneumonia, is very
I much better today, and so is Ben
i Hoerler, who had a hemorrhage yes
jterday morning. Some of those who
! first came down with the flu are
i practically recovered now, and all
of the cases are described as being
of the mild type of flu.
Superintendent Snodgrass, of the
Fairbanks Government experiment
station, who started for the coast
last week, has taken charge of the
stage as a result of the illness of
the driver, who came down with the
flu after leaving town.
Jake La wick, Fairbanks grocer,
who is enroute in over the trail
with a shipment of perishables, is
laid up at Salcha.
A considerable number of train
men employed on the Tanana Valley
railroad are among the flu victims,
and some difficulty was experienced
today in getting a crew together
for the Nenana train, which came

Nearly all the business houses of

There is no truth to the report
, that Marshal Eiyin released a lot
| of confiscated booze for the benefit
'of flu patients and those threatened
f with the disease.
| Health Officer Sutherland, who
' has general charge of the situation,
i is constantly on the go, from one
icase to another, day and night. He
i is about the busiest man in Fair
j banks, and although he has not suc

I promptly to treatment and he an
ticipates no serious results.

What I Stand For
I am a candidate for National Committeeman of the Republi
can Party to be elected April 27th, and I stand for the following
principles:
I am not a politician and never ran for office before. I belong
to no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no
clique or faction.
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect
me I will take my orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where I received the unani
mous indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed of
over one hundred fifty members, I will work for the entire Terri
tory of Alaska first, last and all the time.
If you eiect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality
or division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and 1
will fight bitterly the appointment of anyone outside of Alaska
to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23 years, winter and summer,
and I feel sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our
affairs and I believe w'hat Alaska needs is more firesides and fewer
carpet-baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska, I am making this fight for you
and I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver
the goods
