This morning Dr. j. A. Sutherland, health officer for this division, will leave for the Rapids roadhouse t. establish quarantine station there. Dick Waterfront" Brown will be placed in charge of the station with full authority to see that the guar. antine is observed. Anyone getting past this station will have to go b!- the aerial route.
 The latest reports to be received re- saiding the progress of the influenza deaths nave occurred and TWO othera are not expected to live.
 The health officer has instructed ,ne operators at McCarly lo stop a., incoming traffic and the same Ill stluctions have been wired to Com missioner A. J. Griffin at Richard son. Wires have been likewise sent to tinSle to keep sharp lookout for Indians from the Ketchumstock coun- try and to stop them should any be traveiing. Some of these Indians at tended the potlatch at Kakona. in teaching their camps they would pass thru the Panama Crossing village, and also Lake Mansfield, at which place a number of Indians live. Should any of these have contracted the disease the situation would assume serious proportions for the interior.
 Conditions on the lower river are all right as near as can be ascer .ained. From Nulato it is learned tLat there are no cases within Ia dius of over hundred miles. The natives at this place are much in need of food and permission was granted them to do sufficient hunting to keep them supplied. Outside oi this circumstance a strict observance is being maintained.
 Dr. Sutherland is determined tha, the health of the interior shall Dc preserved If he has to prohibit traveI turnout the division.

MINERS
 WISH ROAD TO
 COME THIS WAY

According to Oscar Larson, a re- cent arrival from the Circle mining district, the miners in that section would appreciate road leading in the direction of Fairbanks. At the present time there is nothing but q narrow trail to travel on and this is none of the best.
 A good road leads out to Circle as far as the Miller House, and it is well travelled by the mining men of Mas todon creek to the Yukon town. From the Miller House in this direction the trail is practically nothing and al certain times of the year it takes all experienced musher to keep on the trail, and it is only usable by dog teams.
 A large number of the mining men of the entire Circle district would make trips to Fairbanks if any kind of road were in evidence. The present trail during times of deep snow or storm is hard to follow anu d person who is not familiar with the landmarks stands fair chance oi losing himself under the present conditions.
 There are large number of men in the Deadwood and Mastodon coun try that would avail themselves oi the opportunity of a good road and make an occasional trip either to Chatanika or Fairbanks if the trail was in a condition to be used by horses and double-ender. Recentl! two sick men found it necessary to make a trip to Fairbanks to receive medical treatment, and owing to the narrowness of the trail had an eX- ceedingly hard time in making the journey, arriving in .Chatanika in all exhausted condition. Had they been able to use a horse outfit much oi the hardship endured would have been eliminated.
 The miners of the district will soon draw up petition to be presented to the new road commissioner for tae purpose of influencing the con struction of some sort of 6 road al least as far as the Miller House.
