HUNDREDS DIE OF INFLUENZA INFARNORTH Epidemic Takes Terrific Toll Among Indian Tribes, pjj United Press EDMONSTON, Ala., Aug. 17. Radio advices from Ft. Simpson today said that an influenza epidemic among the Mackenzie River Indians had taken at least 275 lives. The advices came from Jack Stewart, trapper and amateur radio operator, who said that fifty-three Indians had died at Ft. Simpson alone and that more than 200 others were known to be dead in other tribal villages. Other river posts where losses were said particularly severe were Ft, Resolution, fifty deaths; Ft. Rae. thirty-three; Ft. Norman, twentyeight; Ft. Goodhope, twenty-six, and Ft. McPherson, twenty-one. The Indians were described as terrified by * the ravages of the disease. The sick wailed and moaned in their camps while the efforts of medical missionaries were repulsed. Drugs carried to the stricken natives either were refused or thrpwn away as tribal doctors attempted cures by ancient methods Only one white man so far was reported dead in the epidemic. APPROVAL OF POWER CONTRACTS IS ASKED State Line Generating Cos. Files Four Petitions. Four petitions were filed today with the Public Service Commission by the State Line Generating Company, one of which asks permission to issue $14,000,000 of two-year 5.5 per cent notes and the others asking approval of power contracts of the generating company, the Northern Indiana Public Service Company, and the Interstate Public Service Company, all Insul! projects. Approximate cost of the generating plant located at Hammond when completed, will be 128,500,009. The Commonwealth Edison Company of Chicago, Public Service Company of Northern Illinois and the two aforementioned Indiana concerns are the joint owners of the station and will buy its entire output. The second petition asks the commission to modify a 1926 order giving the State Line company authority to borrow $22,000,000 on open acount from the four owning companies to provide funds to build the station. The commission is asked to reduce the amount to $14,000,000 and to extend the date of repayment from July 1, 1929 to July 1, | 1930. arrangeTorphans’ fete Job's Daughters to Entertain Group at Theater Saturday.
