Skowhegan Young Man Has AdveR-
turous Journey

DR.. Bin q. Goodrich, who came here
from Montreal recently to see his un
Gle, Cassieis KinsmaD, had ODE very
exciting trip into the Canadian Wild
last October The influenza epidemic
had spread all over Canada Frantic
calls were sent in 10 McGill Tniver-
sity at Montreal where DR. Goodrich
Is at present d student He and an
other young man were assigned for
duty at a place called Clarke City
This is on the north shore of the Guf
os St. Lawrence, and about nifty miles
inland. They went BY rail 70 d point
in New Brunswicb, about ne-hundred
miles east OF Pivier du Loup. Here
| they were put on board an ocean go
/ ing tug which took them in a north
erly direction across the Guli OF 81.
Lawrence, passing the island Of Anti
! COST and rnally landing them al a
! PORT on the north shore. Here they
were transferred to privately owned
railroad and still travelling north fl
nally reached Clarke City.
This place has been built UP around
a ground wood pulp industry promot-
ed by some manufacturers from the
states. The inhabitants are all en-
ployees OF this one establishment
They live in houses built by the com
pany and trade al the Company's
store. The average intelligence is moi
high. Professional nursing was un-
heard of. The way Of civilization in
which sheets. pillow cases, etc, are
supposed TO travel, was still overdue
at Clarke City. These two McGill stu.
dents found one-hundred oesas OF IN.
fluen2a with six people lying dead at
the time OF their arrival There was
one resident physician in the comnu-
nifty himself practically worn out
from overwork. The boys did the
best they could and were able of
course, to relieve a good deal of suffer
| ing and save a good many cases which
must have terminated fatally but for
their coming.
The weather was very cold in that
northern latitude and few days after
they arrived there was a severe snow
storm. They learned that through the
close of navigation by ice, liable to oc-
cur az any time. they would be prac-
tiCally cut off from the outside world
the only means of travelling in that
event being by dog team and the near
est railroad station being $50 miles
Their state of mind was practically
panic at facing a situation of this
sort and, at the end OF a month, the
cases of flu having been largely re
duced. perhaps quite as much by death
as by recovery, they felt justified in
starting on their return journey.
This battle with such serious cpl
demic in the midst OF an utter wilder
ness will be WILDLY remembered by
