INFLUENZA CASES AT WESTWARD TOWNS ARE
 REPORTED ON WANE

With an emergency hospital estab- lished on the shore at Unalaska in an Alaska Commercial Company's house, many of the crew of the "Unalga" laid up with influenza and the ships supply of medicine depleted, many or phans in need of assistance, the epi- demic of infeunza has wrought havoc in the Britsol bay country.
 The worst of the epidemic at Un- alaska and Dutch Harbor seems to have passed, according to a telegram received by Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., from the commanding officer of the Bear, which is also in attendance upon those who are suffering from in- fluenza. There have been no more cases of the disease and no deaths for several days. The total number of deaths to date in these villages is fifty.
 Most of the entire population of both villages is still i'll, according to word received by the Governor, and the peo- pie there will need medical attention and nourishment and food for at least two weeks.
 The orphans and the government teachers have been housed in the home of the United States marshal. Those who are sick in the emergency hospital established on the shore in a house belonging to the Alaska Com mercial Company, where volunteers from the Bear have been detailed as hospital corpsmen.
 While the situation at Naknek is we'll in hand at present, the conditions at Nushagak, Koggiung and Ngashik are not so favorable. The Vicksburg and Marblehead will be able to relieve the situation at these Britsol bay point, however.
 Orphans throughout this district are in need of assistance as no one is able to care for them for any length of time. It has been recommended that be made to care for them at some home for that purpose in the States.

ECCENTRIC ALASKA
 ARTIST CREATES SOME
 SENSATION IN N. Y.

Some weeks ago Seward was con siderably stirred up over the visit tt the town by man named Rockwell Kent and his son, who had spent 6 couple of years alone on Fox island in Resurrection bal He was waiting there for a boat to take him south During the time he was in that town he broke into print several times and gained considerable notoriety.
 It seems that Seward was enter taining an angel unaware, for Kent is an artist who, since he hibernated in Alaska, drew about 60 pictures that created sensation. The art critic of the New York Sun says that the pic. lures are "the most interesting event from an American point of view this year." The drawings are all of a weird style and show the melon choly nature of the artist.
 The odd thing about the career of MT. Kent is that as an artist he was a failure and becoming disgusted with the world retired to lonely island, where he lived the life of a hermit and received the inspiration for his new series which have not only created sensation when exhibited in New York, but, what is better, have sold very readily.
 In the last issue of the Literary Digest couple of pages are devoted to the life and activities of the artist, and that great paper seems to regard the man himself as rather a joke, but does not deny that his pictures have made a sensation. The Digest prints letter written by Kent in which he admits that he is a regular fellow and that he burned the candle at both ends.
 MT. Rents letter closes with this tribute to Alaska: Alaska is a fairy land in the magic beauty of it's noun ta1nS and waters. The virgin fresh ness of this wilderness and it's utter isolation are constant source of in- spiration. Remote and free from con- tact from man, our life is simplicity itself. We work, work hard with back and hands felling great trees. We row across thirteen miles of treacherous waters to the nearest town; and the dangers of that trip and months alone with my son, during which time have learned to see this wonder world and know his heart-such things are to me the glory of Alaska. In living and recording these experiences I have sensed fresh unfolding of the mys- tery of life. I have found wisdom,

Their life" BELTS
LOADED WITH BOOZE
Bulky Figures of Two Young
Women Aroused Suspicion
of Policeman.

Their unusual appearance, which in
dicated that they had grown won
derfully in a%voirdupois since they left
the city the day before, attracted the
attention of Patrolman Mcintosh of the
city police department to two young
women Of Charleston, w. Va, as they
stepped from a passenger train at the
local station. The policeman was sus-
picious that the two women had a
lot of liquor in their possession, and
he sent them to police headquarters
for Investigation.
Chief Charnock ordered that the
women be searched at the Central sta
ton, and they were found to have a to-
tai Of 17B pints of liquor on their
persons. The women had life belts
of bed ticking, with pockets, each large
enough to hold a pint bottle. The
belts were strapped around the waists,
with bands running over the Shout
ders.
The women were held under bonds
Of $500 each for their appearance be-
fore the grand jury. They furnished
the bonds.

HEROIC WAR PIGEONS
Flock That Did Wonderful Deeds
Returns Home.
General Muir" Comes With Breast
Shattered as Result of Many
Exploits.

New York.-With breast shattered,
but still alive, General Muir, one of
the greatest war heroes, returned re-
Gently. AS the steamer pulled into
New York harbor, General Muir sat
on the deck wrapped in a blanket
that bore several wound and service
stripes. There was no ~perceptible
He made no comment.
Reporters tried in vain to interview
him. Sergt. Fred J. Hermann, his
commander, did all the talking. You
see-General Muir is a carrier pigeon.
He was one of the seven birds of
the intelligence service of the A. r.
f. that the transport brought home.
General Muir's exploits are many.
On one occasion, having been as
signed to deliver a message of great
Importance to a post IS miles away,
he flew through shrapnel and gas, and
past a squadron of Germans that had
been sent out to intercept carrier
pigeons and delivered the message in
just 80 minutes.
With his breast torn open, with his
wings singed by fire, and eyes blind
ed with blood, he kept on till he had
reached his objective.
King Cole, another pigeon, is the
nearest rival of General Muir for
fame. He was a messenger in the
last Argonne drive and flying through
a cloud of gas fell into IN abandoned
trench. There he lay In the mud for
two days, and gathering strength,
arose, and came home with the mes
sage.

Real Cop Lines Up
With Five Dummies

New York.-Critics of the po-
lice department will always say
bad things, but it took zone of
the finest" to deliver the I'M
kindest cut of all.
Exactly what will happen to
this patrolman for his reflection
upon his fellow members of the
force is not known, but last night
he was still holding down his
new job in the bureau of uni
forms at headquarters.
In the office of the bureau
there are five clothing dummies
all fitted out with Respondent
uniforms. The initiated work
r in the place have learned by
long experience that these dunn
mics r not members of the
force, but the new man entered
the place unwarned.
There stood the five dummies
as If at attention, and being I'M
able to discern the difference
between them and real cops the
new man fell right into line and
assumed the same attitude.
After holding this position for
about five minutes he nudged
the next dummy and asked:
How long do we have to keep
this up?"
In reports of the matter the
patrolman'S name was deleted,
for the police r strong believ-
ers in secrecy nowadays.
