of the Bureau «*f Education, is back
from a trip of inspection of the Bureau
of Education stations as far to the
W'iestward as Shisinareff. Mr. Evans
reports that health conditions are ex
cellent at all the stations he visited |
and there are no apparent after effects
resulting from the influenza epidemic.I
Mr. Evans say the value of quarantine;
methods is well illustrated in the case
of the Shisinareff village. The nat
ives there adopted the most stringent
quarantine regulations and would al
low no contact with anyone from the
infeotod district. Even at the present
time they arc disinclined toward com
ing into contact with natives from the
W’ah-s section, owing to a fear that
Spring weather may revive the ep

A. .1. Peterson, the young man who
was injured several weeks ago by be
ing struck on the head by a piece of
firewood while cutting the wood with
an axe, died in the Maynard-C’olumbus
hospital shortly after 1 a. m. this
morning. Death was due to concus
sion of the brain. Peterson lay in the
hospital in a half conscious condition
for a week or more following the ac
cident. Eater on he rallied and ap
peared to lie recovering. A week or
two ago lie was able to appear upon
the streets, although greatly debilitat
ed by his injury and long confine
ment. During the succeeding inter
val his condition grew worse until
death ended his suffering. The un
fo. .unate young man came to Nomo
from the Yukon section last summer
and followed various occupations up to
the time <*f his injury. He was about
2« years of age and single. He is
saiil to have surviving relatives in the

Johnny Watson proved to he the
winner in the second weekly Sam-E
Kar contest held by the Polet storo
during the past week, and is now the
proud possessor one of tlie much cov
eted cars. Johnny completely outdis
tanced all competitors with a total
vote of 77,501. The name of “Willie"
Pangmann appeared on the list of
contestants last week, but the urbane
William failed to qualify. It is rum
ored that Frankie Kiesele, is going to
be listed during the present week and
expects to pull down a car with ease,
as he is said to he sure of the Indies
vote solid. Should this prove to be
the ease some excitement might be
provided in the event that William
Pangmann, who is also said to be very
popular with the fair sex, wins one
too. by arranging a Sam-E-Kar race
between the two youngsters. And if
Jimmy Bayne and Polphie Meuller
manage to get one too, we could have
a speed contest that would make even
the unsophisticated Eskimo for miles
around turn out to tee the fun!
