SLIDES CRIPPLE ROUTE 10 COAST
 BEYOND CH|1NA

Additional trouble on the Fair banks -Cordova rout is reported to- day, advices from the coast stating that the Copper River & Northwest ern railroad has been put out of commission temporarily by snow slides between Chitina and Cor dova. It is not known how big the slides are or when they are likely to be cleared, but there appears to be no doubt of the fact that the road is blocked effectually and that the use of rotaries will be necessary to restore communication.
 It is believed that the Interior bound passengers who reached Cor dova this week on the Northwestern passed over the road before the slides occurred, in which event the slides, if removed soon, will cause little inconvenience to the travelling public, inasmuch as the trail north of Chitina is still blocked by over flows, with no signs of immediate abatement.
 Overfows on the Fairbanks trail are not unusual at this season of the year. but the inundation this spring appears to be much worse than hitherto recorded. The stretch of water on the lake near fosts IS both longer and deeper than usual, and the snow is so deep in that locality that it is practically i'm
 possible to open the summer trai! around the lake.
 Conditions quite the opposite pre- vail on the Nenana-Broad Pass trail over which there has been more travel this winter than ever before. This trail, like the Fairbanks trail, thas been hard hit by storms and i deep snow, but at no time during
 the winter has it been impossible, | except possibly during the progress l. of a particularly severe storm. ! Oldt mers who have travelled both
 trails declare that there is now nc

HOOKER VICTIM
 0F FLU ATTACK
 ON VOYAGE OUT

Durwood Hooker, until short
 time ago sergeant-cashier of the sig
 nal corps in Fairbanks, who was
 enroute to the States from Valdez,
 where he received his discharge from
 the service, and who contracted the
 flu on the voyage down the coast
 and was taken from the steamer to
 a hospital, upon the arrival of the
 vessel at the capital this week, died
 there yesterday afternoon shortly
 after two o'clock. Death is attrib-
 uted to a complication of troubles
 resulting from the flu.
 The report received from Juneau
 last night stated that the deceased
 was unconscious for about twenty hours prior to his death, and that he grew steadily worse in spite of heroic efforts employed by Juneau doctors and nurses to save him. The case, toward the last, had somewhat Ithe appearance of brain fever
 The deceased was very we'll known Iand popular in Fairbanks, where he resided for a number of years. He was married in Nenana, at the home .of Mir. and Mrs. w. H. Gilcher,
 about a year and half ago, to Miss Irene Roadruck, and, at the time of his death, both he and Mrs
 Hooker were enroute to the States, where Mir. Hooker planned to go into business with J. H. Caskey. Up ito the time the Citizen plant was destroyed by fire, the deceased de- voted practically all of his spare hours to newspaper work.
 Mrs. Hooker left Fairbanks some time after her husband did, her iplans being to go direct to Seat tie, while her husband was compelled ito go to Valdez for his discharge from the army. She might have reached Juneau in time to be at her husbands side during his illness,
 however, but for the fact that she
