QUARANTINE IS
 NOW ESTABLISHED

At the mass meeting Helu iosI night at the Coliseum immediately after the picture show, Frederick D. Browne, enginer in charge of the Fairbanks division, in clear and lucid statement informed the people of Nenana of the action taken by the committee empowered to estab- fish a strict quarantine as a pre- cautionary measure to prevent the introduction of the influenza epi- demic, and called for the ratifica- tion of the stringent measures adopted by the local Board of Health.
 Measures Ratified.
 The people of Nenana without a dissenting vote ratified the action taken by the committee as outlined by MT. Browne.
 The quarantine measures are now in full force and all residents of the Nenana school district of the age of ten years and above, will be re- quired to register at the townsite office and on payment of one dollar will be furnished with a badge of identification bearing the legend "Nenana Quarantine, 1918, No--.---" :" which badge MUST be wo.n on the hat or cap of the person receiving it.
 Penalty for Failure.
 Failure to wear the quarantine badge on the hat or cap will subject the person or persons to arrest and detention.
 Regist-ation Date.
 All Nenanaites over the age of ten years must register and provide themselves with a quarantine badge on or before Saturday, November 9th. Heads of families registering will also be required to state the number of persons included in the family so that correct census of the Nenana school district may be obtained.
 Warning Issued.
 It must be distinctly understood that the quarantine badge must be worn at all times. It must be worr on the hat or cap and not in any other place, as on the coat lapel, etc This is the only means of identifi cation and the rule regarding the wearing of it will be rigidly en forced, and attention is invited te a notice appearing elsewhere in thi: issue regarding this.
 Disposition of Funds.
 The money derived from the fee: of one dollar charged for the guar antine badge will be used to defra1 the expenses in connection with thu establishment of guards and othel incidental purposes. The sum de rived from the sale of the badges will not be sufficient to cover thu entire cost of quarantine establish ment, and it will probably become necessary to devise other mean for raising the necessary funds. Th' Alaskan Engineering commission i very materially helping the enforce ment of the regulations, and it i up to the people of Nenana to mee Mir. Browne half way at least.

Browne has issued order withdrawing Resident Engineer Ro, Hirschberger and his party iron their present encampment at mil 36S, near Lignite, to the old cam at the Nenana river crossing a mile 373; the timekeeper at 36 will also come in to camp 373.
