NAT DAVIDSON
 DIES ON YUKON

Nulato, November 22.-Nat David son, an old-timer of the Yukon, who was in the fish business in partnership with Al Chapin, died here yesterday from pneumonia and brights disease. By his own request he will be buried at his old fshcamp, 25 miles below Kal- tag.
 Mr. Davidson, who was in Iditarod last summer. was living at Diskaket when overtaken by sickness. Chapin brought him over from that place, and he went into hospital here a week ago. He was apparently on the road to re- covery, when he suddenly took a turn for the worse, and died last night. The doctor in attendance said that although his lungs were in bad shape, the imme- diate cause of death was liver trouble.

COMMUNICATION
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
 Sir-As there still seems to be some misunderstanding regarding the hos pital at Flat City, 1 would kindly ask you to publish the following statement:
 The hospital is still under the man. agement of the Episcopal church, and not private affair. When Archdeacon Stuck came to Iditarod last July and looked the situation over, he authorized me to transfer such of the equipment of the Iditarod hospital as was needed for the Emergency hospital at Flat to the latter place. In letter dated Sep tember 3 Bishop Rowe approved of my work in the camp, and regretted he could not be of more financial help to the hospital. The only support the hospital gets from the church consists in the payment of my salary-S5O a month.
 When in July, 1911, Iditarod was se- lected as the place for the hospital, conditions were entirely different from what they are now. The following fig ures might be interesting to those who still think the hospital should be in Iditarod:
 During this summer 36 patients were cared for in the Flat hospital while during this time only persons needed hospital care in Iditarod. At present there are 5 persons in the hospital, all from the creeks.
 The hospital in Iditarod can only be run under heavy expense during the winter. The wood bill alone amounted to over $500 last winter. A place has been provided for in Flat during this winter where the wood bill will only amount to Sl00. AS money has been raised for the hospital at Flat City by public subscription, the public surely have right to know what has become of the money, and every subscriber who wants to know particulars about it is kindly invited so come to the hospital and go over the books.
 Once more let me state emphatically that no patient ever has or ever will be turned away from the hospital be- cause he has no means. Of course those patients who are able to pay are expected to do so, as the hospital is under heavy running expenses all the time.
 Once more l take occasion to thank all those who have kindly given their support towards the maintenance of the hospital. Sincerely yours,
 (Mrs.) NETTIE SCOTT DAVIS.
