K0bUK DISTRICT
 IS UNPROTECTED
 AGAINST DISEASE

A recent arrival from the Koyu
 kuk country brings the news that absolutely no quarantine measures have been taken to protect that dis trict against the influenza epidemic and says that real danger of the introduction of the disease into the district and spread to others exists exists.
 There is we'll known highway of travel from the Kobuk country to Alatna and the mission at Ala kaket, and especially during the winter season, the natives are con stantly travelling between these places. Travellers say that the natives on the coast on the Seward Peninsula, in the neighborhood of the Nome country who have been thoroughly frightened at the ravages 0 fthe influenza are leaving the coast region and going to the Kobuk country in large numbers and may possibly spread the disease.
 There is large native village in the Kobuk country known as Long Beach,and unrestricted travel between Long Beach and the native villages of Alatna and AIlakaket is usual during the winter months, the trail from the Kobuk leading along the edge of the Baird mountains to the headwaters of the Alatna and then on down that stream.
 The natives fleeing from the Sew ard Peninsula to escape the disease are said to be making for Long Beach and other Kobuk villages be- tween which and the Koyukuk camps there are no quarantine restrictions. From the Kobuk to Ft. Gibbon along the mail trail is only 25s miles, and from Long Beach to Alatna by the we'll known Alatna river trail it is only 130 miles.
 The Koyukuk mail carrier, bring Ing the mails to Panama, comes In contact with the natives at Alatna and so long as there are no re- strlctlons to travel between the kobuk country and Alatna the dange@ cf the introduction of the disease to the natives at Alatna and its spread to Panama and other h. terior points is imminent.

MANITOBA,S WEED'GO
AT MID-W|NTER CONVENTION

Word has been received this week
from the Minister of Agriculture at
Winnipeg, that the request of the
farmers convention committe has been
granted and that Mr.. S. A. Bedford,
weed commissioner of Manitoba,
would be authorized to attend and
address the convention at Langdon on
Feb. 26th. Weed control is rather
touching subject to Cavalier county
farmers and land owners. There is
scarcely anyone, however, who does
not realize that it is as serious as
any, problem confronting the county
today in an agricultural way and does
not feel that fair and equitable control
should be exercised by the county or
township officials. 1t is the aim of the
committee that this matter be thoro)y
agitated and thrashed this year. The
county attorney, the county commits
sioners and farmers over the county
named as weed commissioners last
year will be heard from and it is to
be hoped that something helpful will
result from an all around discussion
Of the problem again this year. The
inspiration and help of Mr.. Bedford
at this session will be of great value.
Miss Newton of Fargo will give
a demonstration on "war breads on
Feb. %. which should be of particu.
lar value in this period of 'wheat-
less" days. Miss Newton is pretty
we'll known over the county as she
has been present at many former
meetings. During the past fall and
winter she has been assigned reguss
lar schedule of the large cities of the
state and her consent to come to
Langdon for our annual convention
was again at a cost of considerable
arranging of dates. We hope that
she will be given a generous turnout
at the time she appears on the pro-
gram.
The morning of Feb. 28th, a sheep
shearing demonstration will be given
as part of the regular program.
This will afford opportunity for some
of the amateur sheep breeders of the
county to get glimpse of what they
are coming to along about June 18th,
and will probably bring to mind simi
lar occasions back in Ontario or back
in the "old country
The premium list Tor the fair will
be out about Feb. 10th. and the COM
plete program of the convention will
be published not later than February
18th.
