Spanish influenza has traveled across Canada, and while the West is no harder hit than Ontario, Western authorities are taking no halfway measures to prevent the spread of the disease. The Provincial health authorities have told the local medical officers to use their own discretion and take any steps they deem advisable. The result is that business in many of the prairie towns is a standstill, and the towns are quarantined against the transient traveler or tourist. Upwards of 100 towns along the CPR and CNRR refuse to let travelers make their usual visits. Guards are placed at the depots, and intending visitors are informed that they can enter the town only prepared to remain until the epidemic has abated.
