Rapid recovery from the effects of
the late flu epidemic in Nenana has
been made possible by the action of
the local health board, which has
announced the lifting of the quar
antine established when the flu first
made its appearance here. The lift
ing of the flu ban makes it possible
for Nenanaites to resume all forms
, of business which were interrupted
by the epidemic, and within a very
! few days it is believed normal con
ditions will again prevail.
The number of flu patients at the
• Government hospital is growing less
daily, there now being very few
under treatment. Several of them
are still quite ill.
There have been no new cases
for a number of days, and it is the
belief of the health board that the
epidemic has about run its course.
Show Tonight.
: Following the action of the health
board. Manager Joe Burns, of the
Coliseum, announces that the popu
lar movie theater, which closed its
doors on April, will be reopened to
night with an especially attractive
show, “Sleeping Fires," a five-reel
feature starring Pauline Frederick,
and a popular Pathe.
Manager Burns also announces
j
that in future the admission charge ,
to all shows at the Coliseum will j
include war tax. thus doing away
with the necessity of buying war tax ;
tickets. This is an innovation which
has also been adopted by the Thorne
theater in Fairbanks.
It is the intention of Mr. Burns j
to make a specialty of high-class.

some splendid features lined up for;

|week the grading operations should
be in full operation again.
Business in town has been gaining
steadily during the past several days

According to a letter received by
The News yesterday from C. V. An
thony. former Xenana carpenter,
Canada was very hard hit by the
world war and the people of that
country are having a very hard time
recovering from the effects of it.
“Everything is very unsettled in
Canada." the letter says. “The peo
ple in general are roaming around
trying to better their conditions, but
it is like chasing a mirage.
“People who were prosperous be
fore the war are now bankrupt. The
government is trying to help the re
turned soldiers; also the families of
soldiers who have been left desti
tute. And, believe me, there are
many of them.
"The wage for common labor is
$5 a day and living conditions here
are much the same as in Xenana. if
you patronize the restaurants. But
food can be bought much more
cheaply in the market than in Xe
nana. Beef ranges from 12 ^ cents
a pour.d to 60 cents; bacon, 20 to 61''
cents; eggs, 40 cents a dozen. By
baching one can live very well on
a dollar a day.
"The weather here is very much
like that of Xenana. This town
(Prince George) is about 500 miles
east of Prince Rupert, on the Grand
Trunk railroad. I arrived here two j
weeks ago and had a good trip, de- ;
lays enroute having given me the \
opportunity to look around and size j
things up fairly well. I don’t ex- j
pect to have another chance to see j
the country, so I am taking my time
ind will wind up eventually in the;
East, where I expect to settle down
with my son and his wife.”

CHENA SLOUGH RISING;
MUCH DRIFT IN WATER
Reports received from Fairbanks \
today state that the water in Chena j
slough is rising steadily, having come
up considerably since yesterday, due.
probably, to warm weather in the
hills. An unusual amount of drift .
is reported, with a large number of'
large trees and logs. j
The high water is proving of con- i
siderable help to those who are en- i
gaged in clearing away the debris •
left by the Citizen fire on the Gar- j
den island side of the slough oppo- '
site Fairbanks. The nearness of the !
I
water to the charred ruins makes it 1
possible to throw much of the rub- J
bish into the stream. |
STEAMER CARL WHITE
MAKES STOP IN PORT
The steamer Carl White, owned
and operated by Captain Carl White,
arrived in port from Fairbanks j
shortly before midnight last night, j
on her first voyage of the season to ;
the head of navigation on the Tolo- j
vana river, carrying passengers, j
freight and mail. The boat remained i
in port until shortly after eight this j
morning.
Among the through passengers on
the White were: Mrs. Blanche Mar- j
tin, 0. P. Gaustad, Dave Cascaden !
and Dr. Kilpatrick. The doctor is!
going to the logjam to enforce the j
Tolovana quarantine and to attend j
to such cases of flu as may develop I
at that point.
The White is equipped with a new i
boiler this season, with more power !'
and less fuel consumption than the !
old one. l!
