MRS. EMMA DALQUlST
 FROZEN TO DEATH ON TRAIL

The Nome Nugget of March 10 has an account of the death of Mrs. Emma Dal- ouist, wife of the keeper of the roadhouse at Safety, from which the following is taken:
 The frozen body of Mrs. Emma Dalquist was found by A. A. (Scotty) Allan, partly hidden in snowdrift some few hundred wards north of the winter trail below Cape Nome, about p. m. yesterday.
 What led her forth from the shelter and security of the Safety roadhouse Sunday evening to the place where she met her death probably will remain mystery, She left the roadhouse about , minutes past ) o'clock, and but few moments before the arrival of Mir. Allan, who was intending to stop over night Mir Allan saw her but did not recognze her owing to the parka con cealing her face On entering the road house Scottv asked for Mrs DalquiSt, but vas told by Mir Dalquist that she had just stepped out, and after looking out of the window which overlooks the trail, added that she had probably gone for walk, as he could see her walking toward Cape Nome. It was blowng at the time, but as Mrs. Dalquist was a thorough Alaskan, no fears were felt for her safety. Joe Sheldon, who arrived a sew minutes after Allan, stated that he had met and spoken to her, bIt thought nothing of her being out, as s!e was not more than few hundred var Is from the roadhouse. Shortly after the ar rival of Sheldon Dalquist again looked oI. of the window and could discern her walk ng along the trail toward the west Allan remarked that 1t was unwiSe to venture so far on a cold. windy night, but the husband remarked that she could not be going fur ther than the native village as she had nothing on her feet but low native slippers, and so would not go far Mir. Allan states that he felt worried, nevertheless and some time later again remarked that he thought that Mrs Dalquist was not safe. Apparently DalquiSt was of the same opinion by this time and instructed his helper Miller, a half breed, to take dog team and go to the native village and learn if Mrs. Dalquist had arrived. It was some time before Miller returned and brought the information that Mrs Dalqust had not stopped at the village but had gone forward. This news did not cause alarm, as Miller stated that one of

the natives, Panos by name, had started for Nome short time after the woman passed, and probably would pick her up and carry her to Cape Nome roadhouse. Panos did overtake Mrs. Dalqulst, offering to take her to the Cape, but she refused his prof fered assistance, stating that she preferred to walk. Fanos continued on his way, but as the storm was gradually increasing, at length decided to turn back. Returning to the village, he again met Mrs. DaIqulst and endeavored to persuade her to return, but she again insisted that she wanted to walk, and was going to the Cape. This was the
 last time Mrs Dalquist was seen alive, and her further journey IS told only by the significant marks left upon the snows be- tween that point and Cape Nome.
 After three hours had passed Allan and Dalquist learned by telephoning to Cape Nome that the woman was not there, and they started out in search. At the Cape Nome roadhouse they gained no informa- tion and turned back, continuing the search all the way back to Safety. All day Mon day and during that night the search con tinued. Tuesday morning Allan again re- turned to the Cape. after learning from Lars dunderSOn, en route "ltn lne udil, that one of his loose dogs had found the slippers worn by Mrs Dalquist some dis tance north of the trail Allan at once re turned to that vicinity, and after some difficulty, at length discovered the trail of the missing woman. When found the body was lying face downward and the hands and lower extremities bore the visible marks of the terrible fight for life. The stockings which were thin, and the skirt were worn through in the long crawl for the unfound shelter Some distance to the north of the trail was clump of willows, which, seen through the driving snow, much resembled cabin, and it is believed that Mrs, Dal- quist was trying to reach this seeming shel- ter when stricken. The body was brought +o Nome

 USES UNIQUE METHODS

''Lots of people do not care rap for religion, but they do love music, and l find that my violin is a great magnet for drawing them to my church, And after get them in good humor with few selec- tions they are in the right frame of mind for me to tell them something about God. That's why love my violin"
 And Rev T. K Thorvilson, pastor of the Norwegian synod at Petersburg, Alaska, and the only preacher in that village of 700 inhabitants, smiled happily in recollection of his work in the North. MT. ThorvilSon has just returned from an Eastern visit and has been the guest of Rev B. E, Bergesen pf Zion church, Ballard. He will leave today on the steamer Jefferson for Peters burg. For many years MT. Thorvllson has been known as the violinst preacher, be- cause of the manner in which he conducts his services.
 His methods are not those of the slam bang revivalist He simply takes out his violin and plays several popular selections, and then accompanies himself while he sings hymns And the crowds he draws prove the popularity of his method of campaigning for the Lord.
 Last year Mr Thorvilson decided to aban- don the lecture platform, and the people ot Petersburg welcomed him with joy, building him a church and manse. Of the |Oo there, 90 per cent are Norweglans, and MT Thorvilson has adopted the plan of talking in Norwegian in the morning and English in the evening. And as he plays airs on his violin which are familiar to the natives of Norway, they enthuse and ask for more

 DIES AT PORT ANGELES
tRuby Record Citizen, March POI

PORT ANGELES, Wash, Jan, 7.- Charles B. Mcdowell, proprietor of the Alaska hotel of this city, died at his home Monday, January f. at i p. m, as the result of cancer contracted in the Fortymlle coun- try, Alaska. The funeral services were con ducted by Clarence Brown, reader of the Christian Science church, from the parlorS of the Fulmer Undertaking Company, whence the remains were conveyed to the Ocean View cemetery and inferred yester- day at p. m.
 MT. Mcdowell was 51 years old. He was a native of North Carolina, but for the past sixteen years spent most of his time ln the Interior of Alaska seeking for gold. He is survived by noble wife, Jennie NJ Mic Dowell, and six children, of whom two are boys, Charles W. and Harry r, Mcdowell, who are at present in the Fortymile coun- try.

GETTING READY
 FOR BUSY SEASON

The all absorbing topic of conversation in Iditarod these days IS, When will the ice go out?" The extremely mild weather of the early days of April promised an early breakup, and wagers were freely offered that the spectacular annual event would take place anywhere from April p on The change in the weather, however has shown that betting on eventualitles depending on the state of the weather is far from being "sure-thing" game At this writing (Frl davl there appears to be little more likelI- hood of the ice on which rests the deter mining flag moving down the river than there was week ago.
 A couple of hundred feet below the flag however, the river Is clear of ice for con siderable distance, which condition was brought about partly by the blowing up of the ice by dynamite in order to extricate the cold storage barge Trinder from a perilous position The barge has been moved across the river, where it will be safe from the ice f1oes that will be released when the real breakup comes.
 It IS unlikely that the breakup this year will be attended by the exciting and spec tacular incidents connected with the break up of last year The winter of l913-l4 was notable for an extremely heavy snowfall, End when the warm spring sunshine got Tn its work the streams were filled to over flowing and the Iditarod river attained high stage probably never before witnessed by white men here at that season.
 This year the snowfall has been eX tremely light, and an exceptional rise of the river is not looked for There have been slight increases in the flow recently, however, due to local rain and snowstorms,
 River Men Busy
 The near approach of the breakup has been the signal for much activity among the river men. Boats and scows had to be re lieved of the ice and water in their holds, vessels to be moved to positions of safety, painting. calking and repair work generally was in order, and an air of general activity has been noticeable during the past two or three weeks where inactivity and quiet have reigned for months Most of the river yes sels have been placed in good position to resist the down-rushing ice, and in few days the river fleet will be in position to move all the freight and passengers that are likely to be destined for this port during the coming open season.
 Mining Season Opens
 On the creeks everything is being gotten in readiness for the seasons mining opera tions. Quite q number of men have already found employment, and more will be put to work as the opportunity affords. The Otter creek dredge is in operation, and the open-cut miners are busy clearing ground for their summer operations on both Otter and Flat creeks.

Thurman Mas Victim of Bear

One of the most awful tragedies ot Alas
 kan life was the death of King Thurman, as told to hte Seward Gateway by William Austin, who found the body in the cabin on Chickaloon flats MT. Austin brought to Seward scrap of paper which carries a few words written by Thurman, showing the frightful agony of the poor fellow before he brought his gun into play to end what was left of life The last words ot Thur man were written on a paper at the top ot which was a notice of location. As the right hand had been torn by the bear, the poor fellow evidently had to use the left hand. The letters were printed laborOusIy and some Of them were lIleglbe. They were written up and down the page like list of names, and were as follows: Have ben tore up by brown bear No show to get out Good by" Later Thurman evidently tried to write again, but his sui fering was too great 'Tm sane but I'm sui fering," he printed, and then came some printed letters that could not be declphered, and his last effort brought out the words, "the -- of death" Mr Austin and J. Wik found the body on March 4 When the other two men went to bury 1t they cut open the clothes The whole right side was torn and chewed up from the shoulder down, and the ribs were loosened from the backbone. The left hip was also torn up, as were the right arm and calf of the right leg Mir. Austin believes the bear must have attacked him about hundred yards from the cabin. Thurman hardly ever went un- armed but in this case he had evidently left the cabin to get bucket of water. In the cabin was also found diary kept by the unfortunate man. The last entry was dated July 25 This entry was, Came to cabin last evening"
