THE INFLUENZA SITUATION
But One New Case Reported in
Eureka County During Week,
But Restrictions Continue In
Effect Owing to Close Proximity
of New Cases of The Disease

The influenza situation in Eureka
County is thought to have greatly
improved during the week. So far
a case has not developed in the town
of Eureka. and but one new Ease in
the county-that of Ralph Ferguson
near Tonkin-has been reported to
the Health Officer. All the cases re-
ported in the north end of the coun-
ty are recovering, and in other por-
tions of the county the disease seems
to be under control.
Several cases developed last week
at Hamilton, White Pine County,
about 40 miles southeast of Eureka,
and nearly all the people there have
been down with the disease. One
death. that Of John Ghiradella. is
reported. Carl Muir reported over
the telephone to w. H. Russell at
the Norman ranch Thursday night
that all the Hamilton cases were then
doing nicely.
At the meeting of the County
Council Of Defense Thursday even
ing the matter of reopening the
schools throughout the county and
lifting the ban against the assemb-
lingofpeople together in public places
was discussed. 1t was generally
thought to be the safest plan, in
view of the recent cases that have
developed nearby, to leave the pres
ent arrangement in effect for at least
another week.
1t is reported from Hylton, Elko
County, that the members of the
Smith and Robinson families are all
fast recovering from the disease.

OUR PEACE CELEBRATION

joyful Demonstration Entered Into by
All When Informed of the Good News
News of the signing of the Allies
armistice terms by the Germans was
received in Eureka about noon Mon
day. j. E. Sexton telephoned the
message here from Palisade and it
was posted on the court house bull
letin board.
The spirit of rejoicing at once took
possession of the people and their
feelings were given vent by the gen.
eral ringing of all the bells in town;
salutes were fired on the mountain
side; all the China bombs in town
were purchased and exploded. and
vociferous and continued cheers went
up from the assembled people. All
Ruby Hill came down and participa-
ted in the joyous occasion. The hol-
iday spirit pervaded, for a time bust
ness was generally suspended, and
the peace celebration in Eureka. not
withstanding the restriction against
indoor gatherings, would ha.ve
brought JOY to our boys lover there"
as it did to the hearts of those at
home here.
