NEW ROCKFORD HAD
r S INFLUENZA
CASE in THE STATE

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 23.-The
first case Of Spanish influenza known
in North Dakota developed at New
Rockford, where a marine, who pre-
sumably had not fully recovered from
the disease, visited a few days before
the original epidemic broke out, &C
cording to a report made by DR.. G. P.
McGurren, secretary Of the North Da-
kota board of health.
DR.. McGurren's reports indicate
hat the disease became epidemic in
practically all parts of the state in
less than three weeks, spreading over
the eastern part of the state in a
week or ten days, and hitting the
western part of the state ten days aft
er that.
DIR. McGurren reports that many
teachers, liberated from their schools
when they closed, gave up their lives
combating the disease when they act
ed as volunteer nurses.
Dentists, too, says DR.. McGurren
are entitled to special recognition be-
cause so many Of them locked up
their offices and took the medical
field. and worked with vigor in com.
batting the disease,

assume that North Dakota's death
rate has been higher than elsewhere,
because we have had much the same
condition here as in other states. /
believe that the Fargo figures, are a
pretty fair index to the situation
throughout the state, and that the
rate of deaths will be much closer to
the Fargo rate, than to the estimate of
the state board Of health"
Yesterday nine new cases of inf1u-
enza were reported in Fargo. This
week there has been a very distinct
drop in the number of cases, the aver
g new cases reported this week be-
ing ten daily.

Of the situation" said DR.. sorkness
this morning. I'VE call every ply
sician by telephone each day to insure
getting complete reports"
The health department records
show 3,241 cases actually reported in
October, which was only about half
of all cases in the city. In November,
513 cases were reported, which is
placed at only about a fourth of all
cases in the city. In December, since
a thoroughgoing check has been
made, the number of cases reported
to date is about 400.

GOLD DOG" is BIG INDIAN.

Bismarck, N. D., Old Dog, chief of
the eros Ventres, n Of the four
tribes which lives in peace and
harmony on Berthold reservation, has
brought Mrs. Old Dog to a local hos
pital for treatment.
Old Dog is a full blooded eros
Ventres. He stands nearly seven feet
in his shoes; has a magnificent
breadth of shoulders and the majesty
of countenance and bearing are asso-
ciated with the Indian of %fiction.t
Old Dog is n of the wealthiest
and most progressive Indians on the
reservation. He has thousands Of
acres of good land; several thousand
head of registered cattle and hun
dreds Of line horses. Last summer he
built a nine-room home in which he
installed a modern heating and
plumbing system
When Bismarck vas established,
the eros Ventres hunted as far south
as the conjunction of the Heart with
the Missouri river, just south of the
present site Of Mandan. Near here
there was one of the eros Ventre's IA
vorite camping grounds.
For the past generation the eros
Ventres, with the Arickaras, Mandans
and Hidatsans have lived a peaceful,
prosperous and contented life on
Berthold reservation, which during
the recent war established a splendid
record in patriotic work of all kinds
1t was from these tribes that Gus
ter derived all of his best scouts dur
ing the time he was stationed at Fort
Lincoln. Curley Head, who still lives
on the reservation, is regarded as pos
sibly the only real survivor Of the
Custer massacre.

FARGO HAS HAD
10000 CASES
OF INFLUENZA
Officials Declare There Have
Been 300, 900 Gases in
North Dakota.

Fargo. N. D., Dec. 23.-There have
been not less than 10000 cases of in
huenza in Fargo since October /, or
since the disease was made reportable.
City health department records dis
close 103 deaths from influenza and
complications developing from the
disease in the period.
The actual number Of deaths Of
Fargo residents is ixed at about one
for each 100 cases, while the death
ratio in proportion to the population
of the city. is approximately four out
of each 1000 inhabitants.
In 1917 the total number of deaths
Of Fargo residents was ZIG, SO that
responsible in less than three months
for deaths numbering nearly half as
many deaths reported from all causes
last year.
These figures are taken from the
records of the city health department,
maintained under the direction Of DR..
Paul So-kness.
With these figures as q basis for
calculation, Fargo physicians disagree
with DR.. c. j. McGurren, secretary of
the North Dakota board of health,
been 5000 deaths in the state in seven
weeks from influenza and complica-
tons +herefrom.
1.-The government estimates, on the
basis IF the figures it has compiled,
hat there nave been 400, 900 deaths
in the United States. That would be
at the ratio of about -four deaths for
each 1000 inhabitants, which is the
death rate we have experienced in
Fargo" said DR.. Sorkness today.
With the Fargo experience as a
basis for calculation, coupled with the
government estimates, physicians esti-
mate that there have been not less
than 800, 900 cases of influenza in
North Dakota since October 1, and if
the death rate in the rural districts
and small towns is in line with the
death rates in other states and the
nation as a whole, the total number
of deaths in North Dakota is placed
at approximately 400, less than hall
the number estimated by the state
health officers.
1.-The figures so far available show
that about n per cent of those Ill
have died, while the estimate made by

LIGHT MATTER TAKEN UP.

Jamestown, n. D, Dec. 23.-Judge
A. T. Cole, presiding in the case of
the Western Electric company,
against the city of Jamestown, involv-
ing increased electric light rates, took
the matter under advisement at the
conclusion of arguments yesterday.
The company some time ago ad-
vanced rates and billed the city for
a higher rate for it's street lighting
service than had been previously
charged, and it also increased the
charge for power furnished to the city
water. station. The city has declined
to pay, and the company has brought
this suit to recover the money it
claims is due.

PLAN To USE Ignite.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 23.-Among
other projects hat were set aside be-
cause of the war, none, perhaps, is
more interesting to the average
householder than tentative plans for
use of Montana's vast fields of Ignite
coal. .
These beds, on which Prof. J.. p.
Rowe of the department of geology
at the University of Montana, Mis-
soula, is the chief authority. are said
to be practically inexhaustible.
The coal lies in many counties.
Mountains of it are grass-roots propo-
sitions-may be shoveled into wag-
ons or railway cars from the surface.
Discussion of this question was
statewide when the war broke out.

EPIDEMIC CAUSES ANXIETY.

Edmonton, Alta, Dec. ga re-
crudescence of the influenza epidemic
throughout Alberta following the
lifting Of bans in the larger cities is
causing. much anxiety to the authori-
ties.
In Calgary, where the rate of re-
port of new cases had dropped to an
average of two per day, during the
last week the rate has increased sud
denly to twenty-five per day. The.
record of Uses for the month of De-
cember in this city shows about the
same conditions, only worse, as in the
last two days, more thar 100 cases
have been reported.
AS a result. there is some possibility
that the mask wearing order may be
renewed, though it is unlikely that
public places will again be closed.
