THREE HUNDRED CASES OF FLU
 ATUNALASKA.

United States Marshal F. R. Bren- neman received another wire from Unalaska last week stating that there were 32O cases of influenza at Un- alaska and 13 deaths, and that the cpl demic was sweeping the district. It was urged that help be dispatched instantly. Marshal Brenneman placed the facts before the government and the gunboat Vicksburg, which was lying at Juneau was dispatched with doctors, nurses and medicines to the relief of the stricken.
 Miss Katherine Miller, of Valdez and Miss Clara Morris, both of whom were until recently nurses in the gen. eral hospital at Cordova, left on the steamer Admiral Watson last Wednes- day for Bristol bay, where they will assist in the work of fighting the cpl demic of infeunza now raging in that section.
 The young ladies were accompan- jed by General Superintendent Branch of the Libby, McNeill & Libby can neries in Alaska. They will go as far as Kenai on the Watson where they will take one of the Libby, Mo- Neill & Libby cannery tenders for lii anna bay. From this point they will make a portage of 14 miles between the bay and Iliamna lake and thence 94 miles down the lake to the Xvi chak river and thence to Bristol bay in a launch.
 Miss Miller is a Valdez girl, and one of the best known nurses in the territory. The trip will be hard one on the ladies, as they will be com pelled to wade streams, ford rivers and climb several hundred feet to get from Iliamna to the take.
 The recurrence of the influenza at many points in the territory where it was believed to have been wiped out is causing the authorities much uneasiness and every precaution will be taken to stamp out the disease be- fore it again visots the lower coast sections.

Fire Engines Arrive

Rhys James brought in the two
chemical fire engines for the Circle
Fire Co., last Saturday from
Richey. They appear to be good
ones too. The fire alarm and hook
and ladder truck have not arrived
yet.
Now let us get the engines in
working order soon as possible, in
case we should happen to have a
fire and have need for them.
There were two very close calls
of having fire the past week. One
was when live Goals from an ash
pile started a blaze in Rorvik's
warehouse, in the rear of the store
but fortunately was discovered and
extinguished before any damage
was done. The other close call of
having fire was at Bauer's gar
age a few days ago. A car with
a leaky carburetor had been run
into the workshop late one evening
for repairs, and when Mr.. Bauer
arrived at the garage the next
the floor was nearly COW
cred with gasoline and was nearly
up to stove, which had a good fire
in it. Had this ignited during the
night, even the fire engines which |
are stored there, might have gone
up in smoke.
When the new fire fghing apar-
titus is gotten in working order, it
S expected to reduce fire insurance
ates at least 10 percent.
