SAFETY FROM
 CONTACION IS
 FELT LOCALLY

The residents of Fairbanks may feel secure from the contagion of the Spanish influenza. as far as it being transmitted through the mails from the Outside is concerned Monday Dr. J. A. Sutherland dispatched a message to Governor Riggs, asking the advisability of fumigating all in- coming mail and the segregation of passengers if 1t was considered ne- cessary.
 Late last evening Dr. Sutherland received the following wire from the governor:
 Juneau. Alaska. Oct P, 1918. "Dr. J. A. Sutherland, Fairbanks.
 "Surgeon-general advises Spanish influenza short-lived. can only be con- tracted by direct contact. Hence not necessary tC disinfect mail. You are authorized to isolate influenza pa- tients. Contacts should be isolated for a period of five days. If neces- sary territory will stand expense Quarantine declared on all ports or 
 RIGGS, Governor"
 From the tone of the above mes- sage the authority is vested in Dr. Sutherland to cope with any situa- tion that may arise should the dis ease in any way threaten Fairbanks His instructions are plainly given and they will be followed out if nec- essary.
 Nenana also took precautionary measures along the same lines and the same answer was received.

the allied nations as well must be maintained to the fullest. The sol. diers' requirements are very high far above any level of normal con- sumption Sugar is fuel for the body. From it can be obtained the quickest reactions in heat and en- ergy. Therefore when the weather is severe in the trenches the consump- tion of sugar by the troops necessarily becomes very high. Sugar has some- what the immediate stimulatiye eff feet of alcohol, without. however, the injurious consequences.
 Supplies of candy being manu- factured for the troops will not sui fer depletion. This ration will be maintained to it's fullest extent. The Young Mems Christian Associa- tion, Red Cross, Knights of Colum- bus. Salvation Army. and similar or ganizations in France will be provid- ed with sweets for their distribution. It is only fair that the people at home should conserve for the men in the field.

NOME PEOPLE CANNOT LEAVE
 ON VICTORIA

SEATTLE, Oct. 21.-Two hundred persons at Nome are asking the per mission of the government to come Outside on the steamer Victoria. which is about to sail and is the last boat of the season to visit those waters.
 According to the life boat capac- ity of the steamer the accommoda- tions are filled and yet it might be possible to get the greater portion of those who desire to leave on board.
 To leave without the permission of the government would be viola tion of the rules and the steamship company refuses to run the risk. It is hardly possible that the per mission will be given and the peo- pie will have to come out either over the ice or stay all winter. 1t is believed that there is plenty of food there for them.

ALASKANS ARE

In last nights mail letter was received from Oakland, California, from an oldtime resident of the Fairbanks district In which mention was made of the doings of several other oldtimers of Fairbanks who are now on the Outside.
 Col" Bill McPhee is in San Fran. cisco and is in the business of buy ing and selling pipe. What kind (stove, gas. tobacco or opium) the correspondent did not state.

 "HeadQuarters company"
 Goss during the early days of the camp, in '06, was city editor of one of the papers then published in Fair banks. That he remembers his old time stamping grounds is evidenced by the letter. There are quite few of the people of Fairbanks who will remember him and will wish him we'll in his journey to foreign soil and much success in the cause of democ- racy.

The physical examinations are enough for q college athlete to quail at and consisted from weight lifting to sprinting (Jim made 145 yards in 21 seconds) as well as mathematics and sight tests. The medical examin- ations were stiff proposition, but Jim, thanks to his long residence in the North, was able to pass them all with flying colors. He is receiving fifty cents an hour for compensation, which is considered fair pay for that class of work on the Outside now. He asks to be remembered to all his friends in Fairbanks.

How many Washingtons are there in the American army? The question is suggested by statement, made in the press, that the descendants of General Washington's brother, Colonel John Augustine Washington, are we'll represented in the present war. MT. Lawrence Washington has several sons in the army and SO has his sister There are few other Washingtons, also, serving in military or naval capacity, but who are connected with another branch of the family. It would be interesting to have some details of the exist ing English branch and its military record For several years before the war, there used to be genial and popular clergyman who act ed as chaplain of one of the English churches on the Lake of Como, and who, as head of the English Washingtons, was we'll known to English visitors to that part of Italy.

the new building yesterday in hopes
of finding something to help do. the
''Y' was able to serve lunch at
noon.
About sixty girls were served.
The board of directors is pleased
with the number, considering the
fact that it had ben publicly an

was given a beautiful peonie as she
left the building. All the rooms
were beautifully decorated with
June roses, peonies and iris.
The rooms which are being used
at present are the row on the east
side of the main building. They are
finished in cream with narrow
border of brown at the base of the
Cop ceiling. The front room is the
office for the present. The next
three rooms are the serving rooms,
the cafeteria and the kitchen IS
back of the serving rooms.
The upstairs rooms are not COM

These rooms will be used for the
sewing and rest rooms. AS soon as
the adjoining section which is con-
nected with the finished portion bv
an archway, is completed. the Of

into that part, thus giving more
space for serving as each section is
finished additional space will DO

The single building at the ex-
IRENE east will not be finished be-
fore late fall. The inside wall of
this structure has been torn away,
and it is being made into a lobby
with an immense fierplace at one
