INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC SWEEPS YUKON
 RIVER AND OUTLYING SETTLEMENTS
Especial Nugget Correspondence)

ST. MICHAEL, June IS, An influenza ep- idemc which has ragged in parts of the Yukon river section, has exacted toll of more than seventy-fve lives lives far, it is reported. besides leaving a train of suffering in its wake.
 At Anvik twenty persons succumbed and t1e village is badly demoralized from the effects of the sickness.
 At Russian Mission nine persons reported stated that it the seize of sickness that has been experienced the country during his long residence the Yukon.
 At Piamute and Holakachuk nine lives were
 At Holycross two lives lost. The dis at this place checked by the heroic efforts of the Mission nurses
 Marshall the lowest point the river reached by the flu, had virulent attack. but deaths were recorded owing to the prompt and energetic efforts of the citizens working among the stricken natives. The citizens at this place headed by Deputy Marshal Eric Johnson. and deserve praise for their splendid work.
 While the disease did reach the lower stretch of the river it spread out on the immense Yukon Flats and from the testimony of Norvle Sheppard, of the most reputable traders the Yukon, the dread disease have worked havoc in the native villages of that section Sheppard ported coming from Kiahoonik the Coast up the Kaisoonik river Pilot Station being the first boat that river. He says he saw one village wiped completely, and six dead in one cab in. He says that doubtless when other sections of that remote territory from the death toll may be swelled beyond any calculation.
 The isolation of this section of Alaska from the main routes of travel and communication is the basis for the demand that a doctor and nurse be stationed at central point between Anvik and the mouth of the Yukon river. It is argued that the epidemic with it's attendant trail of pri- vatons should be sufficient grounds for the estab- lishment of such service by the Bureau of Educa- tion
 The hospital boat left Nenana about June tenth enroute along the river tender medical as- sistance during the navigation season. Dr.. Hous- ton, of Juneau. Is in charge with two nurses and this unit is part of the program Governor Geo A. Parks has recommended for the alleviation sick ness and disease among the Yukon river natives.
