 FAIRBANKSANS
 AT CAMP LEWIS

 Edby mentions his experience with the influenza and from all accounts he had narrow escape from cashing in. He not only had the flu but it's aftermath, broncho pneumonia. The symptoms, as described by Edby, are similar to the first start of a cold but the next morning 1t is a tough proposition.
 Some statistics are furnished in the letter that show how farreaching the disease is. Out of v men that left here but three were missed by the disease. Seven had died, 50 are still in the hospital and F were dis charged.
 Frank Durham is also at Camp Lewis and paid the boys visit short ly' after he found out that they had arrived. It is his prediction that all of the men from Alaska will be sent to Siberia for service.

ICE GOES OUT
 PANAMA CANAL

It seems strange statement but it is a true one, only the ice was on a film that was shown at one of the movie theatres there.
 This information was received in one of the last mails in letter from George Herring, who is with one of the tankers in the government ser vice. George went into the picture house there and one of the first pic. lures thrown on the screen was a view of the breakup at Fairbanks taken by Peter Steil at the time. George says it looked just as natural as could be and 1t made him feel like going home.
 Another view of the town was shown-that of the high water on Wendell avenue. Just as George was explaining all about it who should come in sight on the film but his cousin William, floating around on a raft in the vicinity of Wendell and Noble. It is not so far from Fair. banks after all.

TOLOVANA MAN
 ON THE SOPHIA


 It has been definitely learned that E. NJ. Nelson, of the Tolovana, was among those lost on the Princess Sophia. For some time past it has been matter of conjecture whether he took passage on the ill-fated boat or not.
 Three persons by the name of Mel, son, all oldtimers, live in the Tolo vana. Emil Nelson, E. M Nelson and Ole Nelson and it was thot that some confusion, usually attendant in cases of this kind, had caused a mis- understanding regarding the identity of the persons. F.. M. Nelson, some. times called "Soapy," was one of the oldtimers of the Tolovana and had staked considerable ground there and was one of the first men to go to the camp when the stampede was on.
