VIM. MARX MEETS DEATH ON UNSTAkEO TELLER
 SH|SHmAREF TRAIL

seriousness or semi<consciOusness he walked ahead of the wind some two miles.
 The seal skin pants he wore and his underclothing were ripped and torn in many places exposing the bare skin. When found the new seal skin pants was still tied about his wais, showing that he either was not conscious of the cold or had no sufficient strength to put them on. The mitten was off one hand as he lay. face up, knees slightly drawn up. his face showing perfect repose. no sign of any pain or agony just as one asleep.
 Mr. Dahle concludes his report by stating that:
 The finding of Mir. Marx's body was one of the saddest experiences of my life. Even yet. after two days I walk about almost in daze. The entire community of Teller is in deep mourning for a man highly respected by all.
 Nothing as yet has been decided as to the funeral arrangements. Father LaFortune left Teller just a few hours before MT. Read came in returning to Nome by way of the Hot Springs. Word will be sent down with the mail asking him to return and take charge.
 Mrs. Marx and the two children, of course, suffer much. They los. a loving father and husband. Their loss cannot be put into words.

HOW BILLIE" MARx'S DEATH MIGHT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED

In a letter dated Teller March 3rd the following terse statement ex- presses the view held. mot only by Mir. Dahle. but by the majority of the people of Seward Peninsula, re- eariing the lack of adequate stalking of Northern trails:
 The trail between Teller and Shis- hmaref (and Ear Mountafn) has been travelled for years by miners, traders, missionaries and natives yet in this most dangerous country, no attempt has been made by the authorities to make it safe for tra- vel. Had this trail been staked as it should have been years ago, MT. Marx would not have sacrificed his life. The Road Commission spends It's thousands and tens of thousands in making 1t a bit easier for a select few to earn few additional dol lars, yet they are unwilling to spend comparatively small sum to save lives. What shall the future of AL aska be:-do1lars or lives? Hasn't Alaska's cold taken heavy enough toll, needlessly? Why not spend 2 few dollars, given us by our govern ment, to make travelling safe in the outlying districts where the dan gers are the greatest?
 ELMER H. DAHLE.

Wm. Marx at the time of his death was A years old. He came to Nome during the early rush days of the camp and until April 1917 was identified with the various busi- ness interests of this community. He was a member of the Pioneers of Alaska and the Loyal Order of Moose.
The Nome nugget., 1923-03-10

Wednesday morning the conn munity of Nome was shocked with the report that Wm. Marx. United States Commissioner at Teller. had met his death on the unstaked trail between Teller and Shishmaref.
 Joe DeRose. the Teller mail carrier, brought the sad intelligence to Nome and the many friends of MT. Marx were overcast with grief at the sad ending of the former wei known Nomeite and representative citizen.
 The Nome Nugget is in receipt of detailed report of the unfortunate circumstance written by Elmer H. Dahle. Lutheran Missionary at Tel Ter and one of the searching party that found the dead body:
 Wm. Marx and John Read left Ear Mountain. where they had been doing assessment work. Monday. Feb. 26th. They encamped that night at the Nulok River. Next day, altho it was cold and windy. they could see the hilltops and start ed out for home. After crossing the divide instead of following Straight Creek to the South. they travelled too far toward the East. ascending a high slope overlooking E the Agiapuk River. Marx in the lead. Near the top of the ridge Read lost Marks trail and his dogs took him down over the rim of the hill an" over precipice perhaps three to four hundred feet high at an angle of perhaps 70 degrees. One dog was killed in falling; Read lost his rife and shovel. but otherwise sui fered no damage. The wind and drifting snow made it very difficult for him to untangle his dogs, so he stayed there almost an hour before he was able to get away. He shout ed repeatedly for Marx. but could hear no answer. It was utterly i'm possible for him to ascend the pre- cipice, so he came down to the Agi- apuk River a hundred yards below, later making his way to the dredge on Swanson Creek, about 12 miles from Teller. He reached Teller the following morning.
 The day following. March first. a search party consisting of MT. Read. MT. Winfield and Rev. Dahle. went to look for Marx. His body was found about 25 miles from Teller. about two miles from the precipice, about ten yards from Reads trail. His sled was found demolished near the brow of the cliff, just short distance above the steep take-off. The dogs were all loose about the sled. Marks trail was found where he had slid down the mountainside.
 Presumably Marx, after finding Read missing had back trailed or circled about. His sled. ronghlock- ed. had skidded against rocks and had broken all the stapsions on one side and most of them on the other. making the sled useless, just above the place where Read had fallen over the edge. Had Marx's sled gone. 15 feet further 1t must have dropped to the place where Read landed. Mir. Marx unsnapped the dogs from the tow line. coiled the line, took an extra pair of sealslin pants and tied them with a rope about his waist; tok his rifle and pistol and slid down over the preci- pice. Evidently. in sliding over bare rocks and glare snow and the of the descent. he had turned around, rolled. became bruis ed, doubtless knocked unconscious. lost rifle and pistol, both found part way down. In this unconscious state he may have lain. no one knovs how long. Regainins con-

HARDINC'S TRIP
WILL MARK new
ERA In ALASKA
Richest StOrel,Ouse of
II. S. Has Been Much
Neglected

President Harding s approaching
visit TO Alaska undoubtedly will
mark the beginning Of new era in
the history and development of that
territory. The President will be
accompanied by three of his cab
net members,-thc secretaries of
Agriculture, Commerce and Inter
Tor. Neither the president nor his
cabinet companions are taking the
trip to Alaska for vacation pur-
poses. 1t is q business trip.
Whatever the reason, that terri
tory, which is the largest and rich
est territory in possession of the
United States, has not developed
rs it should. Without exaggeration
il is the greatest storehouse of
wealth now possessed by this gov
ernment.
1t is estimated there are 21,000,.
600 acres of coal land in Alaska.
One gold mine alone, the Tread
well, has produced seven times rs
much gold as the United States
paid Russia for that territory.
There are more than $4,000, 900
acres of arabic and grazing land
in the territory.
Only Tin Mines
1t contains the only tin mines on
the North American continent.
It's copper deposits, although
largely unexplored, are known to be
probably greater than any copper
deposits within the jurisdiction of
the United States.
Oil has been flowing into the
Arctic Ocean from various points
in Alaska for years, perhaps for
centuries. What is believed TO be
the greatest oil field in the world is
located near the Aleutian Islands.
The Alaskan cod fish banks are
among the most valuable in the
world. Its other fisheries are of
enormous productivity and value.
Properly safeguarded, its fur
bearing animals viii continue in
definitely to be the source of tre-
mendous amounts Of furs, exceeded
probably by no other section Of the
globe with the exception of Siber-
in.
It's virgin llmDer, II properly cOl-
served and administered, viii solve
for generations the problem of wood
pulp for the United States.
Despite all this, Alaska remains
a sealed territory. An insignifi-
cant amount of private capital has
been invested there. immigration
has been nil; in fact, the census re-
ports show q decrease in the popu-
lation of the territory during The
last decade.
TOO Much Ped Tape
There are many explanations Of
f. ed. The mos; persistent one IS
that Alaska is the victim pf hure-
aucratic red tape. wound up at
Washington bv individuals who
have no knowledge first hand of
the conditions IN Alaska or the
needs of that territory or its peo-
pie. This has b.eH denied by 9th
ers, who claim Alaska : non-deve-
lopment is attributable TO other
causes.
The trip of the president and his
advisers will undoubtedly result in
n formulation of a definite policy
in connection with Alaskan affairs
and it is safe 10 say shat this po-
licy viii lift the administration OF
Alaskan affairs out of the ruek of
politics and place it on business
like footinp
