MRS. E. M. MARSH SERIOUSLY
 ILL AT VANCOUVER. E. C
(Alaska Weekly.)

Taken suddenly i'll with stroke of paralysis, Mrs. Elizabeth Marsh, who lived in the Northland for many years, is very ill at St. Paul's Hos pital in Vancouver, B. C., where her son and two daughters are in constant attendance, owing to her critical con- dition.
 Joyous of heart and always cheery was Lizzie Shannon" as Mrs. Marsh is universally known to her friends in Alaska. Seventeen years ago she mushed with a dog team over the Rainy Pass trail from Seward to Idit- arod. a distance of over 800 miles. She was a chechaco in those days, whose pleasing personality and ready wit endeared her to all.
 For many years "Lizzie Shannon conducted a small hand laundry in the Iditarod country where she put in ong long hours with the Tilt of song on her lips at the start and finish of a hard days work. Leaving the Idit- arod, she wandered into McGrath again to brighten her surroundings with her favorite song, "Where the River Shannon Flows"
 Three years ago she came to the States and started a small store near Puyallup, Washington. She was suc- cessful in her venture until six monthss ago, when fire wiped out her little investment. It did not kill her spirit, however, and she visited the office of the Alaska Weekly shortly after, where, with smiling face, she remarked: "It's all in the days march. You can't keep the Irish risip aspwn- and will start something else-,'
 Today she is at St. Pauls Hospital III Vancouver, fighting a game fight, and should "Lizzie Shannon" be called away, her memory will be forever green in the Northland, where this little lady took her work as play and radiate1 sunshine wherever she pitched her tent.

 The explosion was heard by Ellie. who after investigation went to Flat and notified Marshal s. P. Kincaid, who with seberal others immediately left for the scene. Erickson's arms were found together, his legs in an- other direction, while his torso was torn in two about midsection.
 A eoroner's jury was formed, the jury later bringing in a verdict of suicide.
 During the investigation by the jury it was discovered that Erickson had opened a new box of dynamite and that ten. sticks were missing, so it was evident he had used al ten sticks, making sure of a deadly job.

DICK STEVENSON SPEAKS
 CHEERFULLY OF POORMAN
parachute,

Dick Stevenson, in a letter to George w. Clyde, received few days ago, speaks cheerfuly and hopefully of conditions in the Poorman section, an excerpt of his letter being as fol- lows:
 "Well, George, I have a very good spot of pay here now, but never can tell. We took out about $5,000 last summer, but did not get started until September. Think we can do good next summer. Anyway, think can write you a more interesting letter next fall.
 Mrs. Paulson is cooking here at the roadhouse. Things are looking very good around here, in general.
 q had a letter from an old friend of mine in the Koyukuk. He wanted me to come up, but I have to nurse this thing. He said he had a very good proposition for me. l turned it down, but my feet were pretty itchy. It is sixteen years now since l saw him, so you see partners don't forget in this country. Be sure and write. Buenas tardus."

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-People generally from all sections of Alaska have been entirely satisfied with the operation of the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph Sys- lem. The service rendered and the tari, charged have been acceptable, and the suggestion that the Govern nent authorize the sale of. the system
 communication has met with a protest from practically every section of the Territory as well as from the Panific Coast States. In the last Con- gress q kiN was submitted by the War Department to authorize the Secretary of War ito sell in parcels or as . whole" the Alaska communi- cation system. The bill was referred roacommjttee but no action taken. and the report that similar bill was to be introduced in the present Congress again caused consternation through out the Territory Delegate Wicker sham made . special pea to Secretary Hurey to not again introduce this bill,, and set forth the various reasons why the. Government should not dis pose of the system.
 A verN gratifying reply has just been received from Douglas MacAr- shur, Gsnszl Chief of Staff, at the request of Sssretary Hurley, who en- closed various correspondence with the Psesiauntr and ended with the sig nificant analssEy pleasing paragraph: "As you .wiA see from this corre- spondence. the War Department is in general aEueuseut with your point of view. In ttaszhsence of further in- structions,- ,-thg War Department does not iutsad to 1eintroduce the legisla- tien in question"

the important subject Secretary Hur- ley, among other things, said: 'I am enclosing a letter from the Alaska Delegate dated November 2, 1881, wherein he urges on the part of the people of Alaska that no legislation be initiated authorizing the sale of the Alaska communications system. As expressed in my letter of Dec. 3, 1930, the War Department, per SC, had no objection to this sale; how ever, it is understood that the con- mittee which originated the recom- mendation for sale did not at any time obtain 8 pertinent expression from the people or government of Alaska. This being the case, it would appear that the enclosed letter of the Delegate might wei be taken into con- sideration before resubmitting legis- lation to Congress"
 The President undoubtedly took into consideration the letter of the Delegate, with the result that the sale of the system will not be authorized, and the people of Alaska will ever hold in grateful remembrance' the kindly consideration of their interests by President Hoover and Secretary Hurey..
