Nenana Once Again Come* to the
Fore and the Fourth Loan
Quota I* Mo'e Than Doubled
Nenanaites are once more to be
heartily congratulated on the splen
did showing made in the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign, which came
to an end last Saturday.
According to the figures given by
Charles H. Hall, special disbursing
agent of the A. E. C., the total
amount subscribed by Nenana reach
ed the respectable sum of $77,800.
| Great creidt is due to the Ladies’
committee, who did splendid work
in getting subscriptions and es
pecially to Mrs. Frederick D.
Browne, who turned in no less than
$31,150, a truly remarkable achieve
ment and one that, it will be safe to
say, has not been exceeded as the
individual work of any one engaged
in this patriotic service in the entire
territory of Alaska. The result of
Mrs. Browne’s efforts represents
$1,150 more than the entire quota
allotted to Nenana for the Foutrh
Liberty Loan, and Nenana is to be
congratulated on being able to count
Mrs. Browne among its residents.
To achieve this splendid result,
Mrs. Browne traveled from Nenana
to the remotely situated camps of
the Alaskan Engineering commission
near Lignite to the south of town,
and to near Dunbar’s on the Ne
nana-Fairbanks line personally reach
ing all of the railroad workers. The
details of the collections made by
Mrs. Browne are as follows:
Camp 368 .$6,700
Camp 373 . 5,200 j
Track camp . 3,750 j
Camp 415 .3,300
Headquarters and yards. 3,000 j
Railroad contractors *. 5,6501
Total .$31,150
j Most of the money shown under
the head of railroad contractors was
subscribed at camp 373.
Mrs. E. R. Brown comes next in
order of merit and it is believed
that she turned in about $15,000,
the correct amount turned in by her
was not available this afternoon.
The other ladies of the committee,
viz: Mesdames Schmidt and Van
Orsdel also turned in substantial
amounts, but the figures are not
available at present.

As soon as it became generally
known that the influenza epidemic
was rapidly spreading to all parts
of the States, and with a view to
preventing its entrance into Alaska,
Townsite Manager H. B. Joseph
after a conference with the hospital
surgeons and the engineer in charge
of this division, wired to Governor
Riggs, suggesting that all the mails
coming into Alaska be thoroughly
disinfected as an esse'ntial measure
for the safeguarding of the public
health. j
Townsite Manager Joseph received
(a telegram from Governor Riggs on
j Saturday, stating that the surgeon
general of the army advises that the
bacteria of influenza is shortlived,
and that it will not live away from
the body and that the only danger
of contracting the disease is from
direct contact. In view of this
opinion of the surgeon general. Gov- j
ernor Riggs does not think that the
disinfection of the mails will be
necessary.

ROYAL R. DOUSE
DIES SUDDENLY
AT IOWA CAMP
Another Popular Young Nenanaite
Falla Victim to Epidemic At
At Iowa Training Camp.
Yesterday morning Nenanaite*
were shocked to learn of the death
of Roy Douse at Camp Dodge, Iowa;
and, as in the previous cases, no
previous intimation of his illness
had been received locally. It is
presumed that the result of an at
tack of influenza was the cause of
death.
The sad news was contained in
a telegram from Grady Sumerlin,
now a sergeant in Company B, 14th
Infantry, at Camp Dodge, Iowa, to
Frank Doner, special disbursing
agent of the A. E. C., dated October
19th and reading as follows:
“Roy Douse died this morning, ill
one week. He is the sixth from
Nenana. His and Meagher’s bodies
are being sent to their homes in
the East.”
Roy Douse joined the Alaskan
Engineering commission on July 8,
1916, and served the Commission in
the store department until March
30, 1918. He joined the country’s
service by voluntary induction and
left with the rest of the Nenana
volunteers on July 26th on the
steamer Tanana for the training
camp at Fort Gibbon.
He was well and favorably known
to a great many in the district, who
received the sad intelligence with
deep regret.
His brother Fred Douse, who
operates the launch Victory between
Nenana and Fairbanks, was greatly
shocked when he was told the sad
news on his arrival yesterday after
noon. It would appear that a tele
gram had been received by Mrs.
Fred Douse at Fairbanks, who
phoned him the news.
On hearing of Roy’s illness, Mrs.
Gus Myers, of Brooklyn, and Mrs.
Holm, of St. Louis, sisters of the
deceased, rushed to his bedside at
once and remained with him to the
end.
He is the youngest of a family
of eight children and is the first
of them to be called by death. His
body, which has been shipped to
his home in Brooklyn, will be buried
with military honors.
VALDEZ VOTERS
HEAD DELEGATE
TALKJN ISSUES
VALDEZ.—Delegate Charles A.
Sulzer addressed a large crowd in
this city on Saturday night, and
during the course of his talk rend
ered a complete accounting of his
activities at Washington, on be
half of Alaska. The crowd was very
friendly disposed toward the dele
gate throughout the -meeting, and
Democratic leaders are claiming to
day that he will carry the Third
division by fully five hundred
majority.
Sulzer analyzed the various
speeches made by Wickersham and
declared that while he pretended
to be working sincerely for the ad
vancement of Alaska during eight
years of office-holding, he was dur
ing that time working out personal
grudges against his enemies and had
no time left to devote to needed
legislation. Sulzer replied to every
charge made by Wickersham against
him during the present campaign,
and produced evidence to show that
the former delegate had not acted
in good faith in many matters of
importance to the Northland.
Sulzer has covered the Anchorage
and Seward districts and, after
holding a meeting at Cordova, will
proceed to the First division for the
tail end of his campaign.
Andy Christianson, of Whisky Is
land is a city visitor. He expects
to get back to his camp after the
freezeup.
