The disease. when II vas first dis
covered In this country. was found to

In Austria.

Captain Alexander Allan and Leo Wittenberg, who arrived in Cordova on yesterdays train, established a record for northern travel in making the trip from the Arctic to Fairbanks. They travelled over an unbeaten trail and accomplished the distance from the Arctic coast to Fort Yukon in sixteen days and to Fairbanks in twenty-eight days, travelling distance of approximately 700 miles.
 Allen is an explorer who has spent considerable time in the Arctic region and has a fund of stories and expert ences to relate. Wittenberg is a trad CT and lives at Banksland, 325 miles northeast of Herschel island. They reportthat the entire northern section wcs free from the influenza, no cases being reported.
 They also verify the report that was printed that an attempt had been made by some of the members of the Stefansson party to float to the Siberi- an coast on a cake of ice. The men had as their craft sheet of ice some fourteen miles in length and about seven miles in breadth. During the sscourse of their travels on the ice cake it went about one hundred miles to the eastward and floated back and also drifted about seventy-five miles in northerly direction. The party left the Arctic shore near Cross island and landed between that island and the Colville river. Those in the F ~i were Storker Storkerson, who MY charge, August Manik, Adel ! belt Gumar, Martin Killen; Mike Knight and one native. For food the
 men had only polar bear and seal. It { was reported that the men and the sixteen dogs which were taken along < were all fat and in good health when they landed on the Arctic coast from their drifting about.
