ARCTIC CIRCLE SENATOR

Frank A. Aldrich is hardy man,
and he needs to be in order to fulfill
his public duties. For Mr.. Aldrich
is member of the upper house of the
legislature of Alaska, and when the
lawmakers of the territory are called
in session he girds up his loins, packs
his dog sledges and sets out on trip
from the Arctic circle that lasts thirty
eight days. Thirty-three of these days
are spent travelling on a sledge.
Down here this seems like
hardy adventure, but in Alaska the
inhabitants do not think it anything
out of the ordinary, and Senator AID
rich has had life training that makes
him look on it as rather trivial. In

PARSONS DIES WHILE
UNDERGOING OPERATION

The people of the Ely district were
much shocked to learn of the sudden
death of John NJ. Parsons. at the Step
Toe hospital, on Tuesday last.
He had of late been suffering with
stomach trouble, and a few days be-
fore his death he made Il visit to Or.
Early. The doctor pronounced his
trouble as ulcers of the stomach and
suggested immediate operation. Not
withstanding the efforts of four doc
tors of the district, the patient died
on the operating table.
The deceased met with almost a
fatal accident some two years ago
while in the train service at Currie,
which resulted in the apputation of
his right foot. Mr.. Parsons, in his
usual cheerful mood, would not give
up his work, and the railroad com-
pany gave him a position as night
Waterman around the coal bins at
East Ely, which he held until his
death.
Mr.. Parsons was 81 years of age,
and a former resident of Salt Lake
City until coming to Ely some eight
years ago. He leaves a wife and foul
children, Mrs. w. w. Wells, of Salt
Lake, Mrs. w. r. Morris, Lawton,
Okla, Mrs. Mate Neimeyer, of this
city, and Paul Parsons of Wells, Ne
yada.
