TOLL TAKEN BY
EPIDEMIC IS A
GIGANTIC one
Comparatively Few Deaths
Took Place in This
County.

When the report Of the gigantic toll
taken by influenza in this country is
given out, Grand Forks county has
good reason &o be thankful. The
casualties in consequence Of tthe epi-
demic were proportionally few in
number hsre.
During the recent influenza epi-
demic the total number of deaths due
to it more than 100000 all over
the country. The census bureau re-
ports for 46 large cities, with a popu.
lation. of 100000 that from Septem-
her 8'to November 8 there were 49,
306 deaths from influenza and. pneu-
monia. The normal number OF
deaths in these communities during
the period from such diseases would
be about 1000, leaving about $4,000
chargeable to the epidemic. The rest
of the country would easily add an
other $4,000 to that number.
h insurance companies estimate
that, combined, it has cost them not
less than $4,000. 900 in death losses
above the normal, and the information
is given out by an insurance COM
| panies' association that during the
crest of the influenza and pneumonia
wave the losses were estimated at
$40, 200, 900 a week above the normal,
and that from the best 'obtainable
sources of information the life insur-
ance companies are experiencing q
rate Of mortality about four times the
normal rate.
