The quarantine of Ft. Davis, which
has been in effect since the close of
navigati n. was released shortly be
fore noon Saturday. A considerable
number of the boys in uniform .ap
pearing daily on the streets have
greatly enlivened the general appear
ance of things as well ns increased the
receipts of some of the local business
houses. The boys are much gratified
by their release from confinement to
the post. With few exceptions, all
are in excellent health.
According to recent telegraphic ad
vices, Cornelius Kelly, son of the late
Dan Kelly and nephew of Con. Kelly
of this city, was severely injured a:
few days ago while working in the1
Puget Sound Navy Yard. The mes
sage. which reached Nome Saturday,
says young Kelly who is well known
to many Nomeites through long resi
dence here during his youthful days,
was struck on the head by some heavy
object and is suffering from concus
sion of the brain.
As two of the teaching staff, Miss
l.yng and Mrs. Kinney, are on the
sick list, the public school is at pres
ent following1 no regular system of
studies, the work of conducting the
regular curriculum being too much
for the ramaining teachers. Miss Orr
/■*the principal, is endeavoring to con
duct the classes in the most practic
able manner possible but is finding
many difficulties owing to the short
age of 'eachers. Every effort will be
made to instill as much knowledge as
is possible under the circumstances
but parents should not expect too
much of their young hopefuls ns long
as conditions remain as they are. It
is only through the remaining teach
ers agreeing to undertake double dut
ies that the school is being kept open.
Harry Chester, merchant prince of
the Golovin section and the guiding
spirit of a considerable number of
important industrial enterprises at
Chinik and Dime Creek, arrived in
town Sunday behind as handsome a
string of dogs as can be found in the
district. Mr. Chester is on a business
trip and will remain in the city for
several days before returning to his
home at Chinik. He repor*s that the
influenza has disappeared from the
Golovin region and there is little
sickness of any character at present.
Mr. Chester" reports hearing from
Dime creek recently, someone from
that point having telephoned to him
from Candle. According to this in
formant, the residents of the Dime
section were in good health: no sign
of the flu had developed, and mining
was progressing in excellent manner.

A movement sponsored l:y leading
members of the Chamber of Com
merce has as its object the Leeuring'
of one of the large number of small
l nd speedy j .wer vesse:s constructed
'•y the government during the war
P-rind for submarine cha» t* purpos
es for service along the Nome coast in
«iie event *'l ennvgencir i lnvohin£
possible destruction of life and prop
erty. In the view of those behind
the movement, the government will
probably have little use for vessels of
this type now that the war is over and
no great difficulty is anticipated in
securing one for such a commendable
purpose. It is pointed out that a
vessel of this character could be plac
ed under the care and operation of
the Coast C.uartl and the costs of
maintenance would "amount to but
little. At the same time the vessel
would be ready for any emergney ar
ising along the const and would be far
more effective than the slow going
revenue cutter annually sent to these
waters to assist in safeguarding ship
Tho presence of several half breed
natives in the public school has result
ed in a number of white children be
ing kept home by their parents owing
to a fear that the presence of the half
breeds will in some manner endanger
the health of their offspring. It ap
pears. however, that there are no more
than three or four very small half
breed children attending the school
and these have each been carefully
examined by the Health Commission
er for communicable diseases before
being permitted to attend. A num
ber of others who sought admittance
at the time school opened were re
jected and sent home by Dr. Neuman.
As an additional precaution against
contagion the school board has instal
led sanitary drinking cups and pap
er towels for the use of the children.
Precautions have also been taken to
prevent personal contact in other dir
ections and the classes have been
spread over the various rooms as
much as possible to avoid any tenden
cy to overcrowding. Judging from
the precautions taken it appears that
there is little danger of contagious
sickness at the present time.
Representatives of the school board
interviewed by this paper say the
board has no intention of omitting
any precaution which will tend to
guard the health of the school attend
ants and express the view that par
ents need have no fear that their
children will suffer by reason of their
limited contact with the half breed
attendants.
Messrs J. D’Carney and Joe D’
Kossa of Council City arrived in
Nome yesterday from Solomon. The
two men have been in the Solomon
section for some time taking care of
the native influenza sufferers. Mr.
D’Rossn has been in charge of the
native relief .work and together with
Mr. D’Carney and other assistants,
performed heroic service during the
height of the epidemic. Both were
in Council when ^ the epidemic broke
out in this section but on learning
that the disease was wiping out the
volunteered their services and jour
neyed to the east coast port in time to
eyed to the east coast port in time to
be of inestimable assistance to the
stricken aborigines. The condition of
the natives at that time was pitiable
in the extreme, as few of them had
sufficient food or fuel, and .many were
almost naked. Sick natives were
found lying in freezing cabins and the
dead were numerous Soon after the
two men arrived they recognized the
futility of attempting to care for the
natives in their own homes and im
mediately took steps to establish s
tempoi; iv hospita! ii one of the W.
J. Howe buildings formerly belonging
to the railroad terminal equipment
The building was fitted up as well as
possible with the limited means at
hand and the sick natives were
brought from their desolate quarters.
The efficacy of the relief provided is
indicated by the fact that but one na
tive died after the hospital was start*
ed. Mr. DTlossa was in touch with
Dr. Ramsay at Council by telephone
and acted largely under his instruct
ions in treating the sick. Conditions
at the present time are reported ex
cellent and there is little sickness.
One native is very ill with tubercul
osis but the remainder are all in pret
ty good shape, according to D’Ros^i.
The two men expect to remain here
until the Council quarantine is lifted
and they can return to their homes
without endangering the safety of
their fellow citizens.
Arrangement* have been perfected
| whereby the large accumulation ol
i winter mail destined for Seward
Peninsula points which is now hoM in
iuuruntine at Kalla's, will be tr.-\t-ri
into this dis. •' \ according to
| nouncements Saturday afternoon l*y
Pasta a.'■ter Walsh. Health Commis
sioner Dr. Neuman has so modified
the quarantine regulations that move
ment of mails is permitted from Kal
tag to Un&lakleet and from Unala
kleet to Walla Walla, a short distance
below Chinik. The new ruling also
permits the movement of accumulated
mall from Uunalakleet to Kaltag. In
his letter to the postmaster notifying
him of new regulation*. Dr. Neuman
expressly states that the modificat
ions indicated are conditional on the
mail carriers running between the in
dicated points wearing heavy gauze
masks which wil. entirely cover the
nose and mouth when meeting or
coming in contact with anyone along
their respective routes. The letter
also instructs the postm ister that the
quarantine regulations; heretofore
promulgated regarding the movement
of mails must be rigidly enforced,
save as above indicated. In general
effect, the modifications permit the
mail to be moved from the uninfected
j sections of the territory to Walla,
j Walla, Where they will be picked up
| by carriers from the infected district,
thus practically obviating the possi
bility of the influenza being distribu
ted by the carriers. I'nder the new
arrangements carriers from the unin
fected sections need not come into im
mediate contact with those from in
fected districts.. Inasmuch as there
appears to be no more than slight
danger that the infection may be
transmit tel by the Mail, the new ar
rangement will probably prove entire
ly satisfactory to all concerned. The
removal of restrictions applies only to
the Incoming mails from other sect
ions and those now accumulated at
Unalaklect destined for outside points.
No mails will leave Nome fof the
present, save to points within the
zone of infection.
