FLU SITUATION IN NENANA NOW
 WELL IN HAND

Although there has been a gradu al increase in the number of flu cases in Nenana and along the line during the past 24 hours, Health Officer M. E. Smith and the mem bers of the district health board report that the situation is now well in hand and so serious consequences are anticipated. As a result of the prompt action taken to care for cases as they develop and measures taken to prevent the spread of the disease, cases now are not nearly so numerous as they might easily have been otherwise, and the hope is expressed that the public will CO., operate with the health board to such an extent that the epidemic may be kept within bounds until it has run it's course.
 Up to noon today total of Il cases had been reported, of which number 26 were receiving treatment in town. most of them at the Cooney hotel, and two at the village above town. Sixteen cases were reported from various points along the line and the patients will arrive in town on this afternoons train.
 The entire Cooney hotel has been taken over for hospital use and all cases will be treated there.
 Oscar Rothenburg has been sworn in as q special deputy and is mak-. ing the rounds of the town looking for isolated cases requiring medical attention. These are sent to the hospital as they are discovered, sev- eral having been reported today.
 The poolhalls and other places about town where crowds usually are observing the rules closely, relative to overcrowding, ar.i are helping considerably thereby in preventing the spread of the eh, demic "#:*> .>:. ..~>.
 A strict quarantine has been de clared against the Indian village as a means of safeguarding the health of those resident there. and no trav- el will be permitted between the village and town. A guard will be stationed at convenient place near the village to enforce the quarar- tine and to act as agent for the villagers for the transaction of such business as may be necessary during the quarantine period.
 It also has been decided by the health board, cooperating with the Alaskan Engineering commission, to stop all travel into the district from Fairbanks. Those arriving on to- train from the north, will include only those who may board the train south Of Happy station. the northern boun- diary of the Nenana school district. Travel out of the district to points beyond the infected area will also be discouraged.
 Some difficulty has been expert enced thus far in securing sufficient nurses for the emergency hospital. but this difficulty, it is believed, will soon be overcome, provided there is not more rapid increase in the number of cases.

 The Democrats gave Riggs 20, Grigsby 49, Murphy 39, Donohoe p. None of the outlying districts had reported at the time tine Nome report was sent to Nenana.
 The message states that 1t is the intention of Nomeites to launch an \ independent ticket soon. for senator and members of the lower house of the territorial legislature, the can didates of the new ticket being pledged to the repeal of the pen sion bill and the joint road bill.
 Down in Ketchikan the Democrats gave Caskey 21 votes and Erwin IS. The Republican vote was: Fin nigan 15O, Hubbard 20, Rustgard 96, Chovin 12, Heron 61, McBride 206, Hazelet 1sO, Reed 1O7, Valen- tine 96.
