FAIRBANKS CASES DECREASE TODAY;
 MANY RECOVER

According to reports received from Fairbanks at noon today, there is reason to believe the epidemic there has about run it's course and that from now on there will be a gradual decrease in the number of cases under treatment. Up to noon today only three new cases had de- veloped and several times that num- Der had been released by the doc tors.
 Twenty of the railroad workers who were under treatment in the basement of the Catholic church were discharged by Dr. Hall yester- day, and several of the Nordale pa- tients' were released this morning. The number Of recoveries includes Ben Hoerler, who was one of the frst taken Ill and whose case was considered serious for a time. Wa terfront Brown and Tom Youle are also out today, and Earl Foster, of the News-Miner force, is working again after a several-day layoff. With the exception of one pneu- nonia case at the Nordale, all the patients are doing well today.
 Business conditions, however, are still very much upset, and no at tempt is being made today to collect or pay bills. Many of the stores are still closed and .he others are so shorthanded that there are none to attend to collections.
