James Haney, who was one of

been discharged from the Cooney
hospital and was around town to
day, a little weak, but otherwise
quite well.
There will be a train down from
Fairbanks tomorrow, but it will
bring only two passengers — resi
dents of Nenana who have been
granted special permission to leave
the upper town.

HIKES HEEDED
BADLY TODAY TO
CARE FOR AILWG
More nurses is the crying need
of the hour in Nenana just at pres
ent, to relieve those who have been
taken ill and to look after the new
cases that are coming in all the
time. Very few of the nurses who
began work when the epidemic
started are on the job now, and it
has been no small task to find
volunteers to take their places and
to assist in the new work that has
developed in connection with the
opening of additional emergency
hospitals. With an ample nursing
staff the situation can be handled
without serious difficult],-. Without
sufficient nurses, the situation may
easily become very grave.
In order that every employe pos
sible of the commission might be
made, available for nursing duty,
the offices of the commission were
closed this morning and the railroad
work in town is practically at a
standstill, only the essential parts
of the organization being undis
turbed.
Dr. Smith reports that there were
a few more than 200 eases in town
after the arrival of the train last
night with 24 patients from out the
line. More eases have developed in
town today, and there will be more
in from the end of steel tonight,
which probably will be the last pa
tients to be brought in from points
south of the Nenana river crossing.
Cases developing out the line here
after will be taken care of by Dr.
I-ake.
Yesterday’s new cases practically
filled Dormitories 2 and 3, and
this afternoon the health board
! commandeered the Southern hotel
for hospital use, and patients are
now being taken there. It is thought
the peak of the epidemic will have
.been reached before the Southern
is filled.
The great majority of the cases
are getting along nicely today, but
there are, of course, some very sick
i patients, including several pneumo
Inia cases. But up to a late hour
this afternoon there had been no
deaths.

who are willing to help out in the
emergency are urged to let Mr.
Scott know where they can be found
when needed. A number are need
ed immediately, and more will be
needed to carry on the work during
the night.
It has been suggested to The
News that it might relieve the situ
ation somewhat if powder operations
in the canyon were to be suspended
temporarily, so as to avoid the pos
sibilty of accident while the epi
demic is requiring all the attention
of the hospital staff.
It has also been suggested by
members of the health board that
1
[chloride of lime be used liberally
i
about the homes of Nenana and in
public toilets and cuspidors. The
fuse of that very efficient disinfect
ant will help to prevent the spread
of the epidemic and will otherwise
cleanse premises that are usually a
source of danger to health at thil
time of the year.

Reports received from Fairbanks
[this afternoon tell of the death of

The second death was that of
Harry Nelson, an oldtimer, who had

.some time, suffering from cancer of

Chairman Robert Joseph Diven,

the manse, was very much improved
this morning. In the absence of
Dr. Diven, General Storekeeper
Robert S. Donaldson and Ralph
Waechter have general charge of
the situation and things are moving
along smoothly today.
Vance McDonald, of Ruby, who
left Fairbanks for the States sev
eral days ago and who was com
pelled to return to town for medical
attention, has been released from
the hospital and will be ready to hit
the trail again in a short time.
Low temperatures prevail along
the Fairbanks-Valdez trail today,
with cold winds and snow at several
points, including Fairbanks. There
was considerable frost at Fairbanks
during the night, and some snow
today. Salcha reports a tempera
ture of 38, and practically all water
disappeared from the ice.
A Brower mail rig left Fairbanks
yesterday, the first of the season
to go out on wheels.
An incoming mail stage was at

FAI
PEAK IS REACHED;
INE
The Fairbanks report is one of
greater encouragement today, the
belief prevailing in the upper town
that the peak of the epidemic has
been reached, in so far as the resi
dents of the town are concerned.
jThe number of recoveries is in
creasi
reusing daily, so rapidly, in fact,
that there are ample accommoda
tions for the cases that are now
coming to town from the creeks.
Two trainloads of creek patients
reached Fairbanks yesterday, from
Fox and other points along the line
as far out as Chatanika. The epi
demic has not made its appearance
on Ester or Fairbanks creek, and
the miners of those districts are
taking every precaution to escape it.
There are only two serious cases
in Fairbanks today, and they are
not regarded as critical. They are
Jdhn Fox and Stanley K. Hess.
John Metzgar, of Fox, also is quite
ill, but all the others are improving
and the town is beginning to show
signs of business activity again.
The three doctors of Fairbanks,
who have been on the go constantly
for more than a week, are still very
much overworked and somewhat
handicapped by a scarcity of medi
cines, but notwithstanding handi
caps, they report that the situation
is well in hand and the most serious
period past.

The News has been asked to make
another lequest of telephone sub
scribers and others to avoid un
necessary phone calls, and under
no circumstances should central be
asked for any one of the hospitals
unless the business is very urgent.
It should be understood that Dr.
Smith and the nurses have all they
can do just now looking after the
sick, and should not be required to
answer needless questions.
Subscribers are also remainded
that central is very busy these day3
answering important calls, and ev
