today, after a short illness from pneu-
monia which followed Spanish influ-
enZa. Miss Bernice is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Miller, and the en-
tire family has been sorely afflicted
with the malady, at one time every
member being stricken. For a time it
was thought Mr.. Miller would be un-
able to withstand the ravages Of the
disease, but he is now reported as i'm
proving. as are the otner members of
the family.
Len w. Kemp received a message
from the surgeon at the Vancouver
barracks stating that Cecil J. Rock
was suffering from pneumonia at the
hospital and was in serious condition.
Mr.. Kemp wired the military authori-
ties to give Mr. Rock every possible
attention and if necessary to move
him to private hospital and draw on
him for any expense
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Arnold and
Wayne Arnold have also been having
a siege with the disease but we are in
formed they are improving at this
time

who is seriously i'll of pneumonia.
/ Both Ray and Paul who have been
working in Portland for the past soy
cral months. were stricken with the
! Influenza last week. Rays case did
not developc into pneumonia, and he is
| recovering but in Paurs ease, pneu-
monia developed, and as his case was
considered critical ii was thought
best to summon Mr. Harlan to assist
in caring for him. q. II. Lingo con-
veyed Mr.. Harlan to Lewiston by auto
whore they arrived in time to catch
the Portland train. In the meantime
a wire was received by the family
here that Paurs condition was some
what improved. This good news reach
ed Mr. Harlan just before his de
parture from Lewiston. which of
course relieved the terrible strain
somewhat. The many friends of the
boys hope to hear in the near future
that they are both on the highroad to
recovery.
