ever, report it to the authorities,
who made a search for the
woman. A city police officer
testified that he had more than
once hunted for her and taken
her back home. She had a way
•of getting into the most inac
cessible places after drinking,
he stated. Once, he testified that
he had dug her out of a hay
shute in the old Alaska Transfer
barn. lie searched the hillside
where he had found her at other
times and even tried the cliff
overlooking the lagoon, but
failed to find her. Police were on
the point of having the water
main trench opened, believing
that she might have fallen in
while it was filled with water
after heavy rains.
Wednesday, November It), a
neighbor, Dan Hansen, who was
in the habit of bringing in wood
and water for Michelson, while
on his neighborly mission, went
up the hill above an old shed
which overlooks the town, to
watch some work in the railroad
yards. ILc saw what appeared to
be a pair of shoepacs on the
ground at the edge of the shack.
Upon going closer he discovered
the body of Dora Michelson who
had been missing by that time
33 days, lie immediately notified
the authorities.
The examining physician tes
tified that he found no evidence
of a blow or foul treatment on
the body. It was frozen to the
ground, and was recovered with
difficulty. An unopened bottle
of wine lay beside her where she
had apparently been sitting on
a piece of railroad iron, suffered
a heart attack and fallen for
ward. There was no evidence of
struggle, and it was assumed
that she either died instantly
or in a few minutes after slump
ing to the ground. Enlarged
photographs of the body as found
were submitted as evidence. She
was known to have been a heavy
drinker. As there was no other
package with her it was sup
posed that after drinking the
first battle of wine and strug
gling up the steep hill, her heart
had failed.
Her age is uncertain. From
a former police record it was
given as 41, but Pete Michelson
insists that she was 59, that in
six months she would be 60 years
old. They were married 39 years
ago and have lived in Seward
ever since.
Funeral arrangements are to
be announced.

Scouts Working for
Jamboree Trip
Announcement of A 1 a s k a’s
participation in the Third Na
tional Jamboree of the Boy
Scouts of America, to be held
during July of 1953 at the Irvine
Ranch, near Santa Ana, Califor
nia, has gone out to the BO Scout
troops and explorer posts of the
Territory. According to the pre
liminary plans of the Alaska
Council's Jamboree Committee,
about 100 boy scouts and ex
plorers will be permitted to at
tend. Two years ago, 52 scouts
and leaders went to the Second
National Jamboree, held at Val
ley Forge, Pennsylvania, where
they attracted national attention
because of the distance traveled
and because of their unusually
smart appearance and discipline.
Scout executive Maurice Pow
ers, professional head of the
Boy Scout Movement in the
Territory, will be in charge of
the Alaska contingent again next
summer, and he will be assisted
by a staff of seven to ten vol
unteer leaders, depending on
the actual number of boys at
tending.
It is expected that the trip,
including an extended sightsee
ing tour of ten Western States,
will take about six weeks, with
the party leaving the Territory
about June 15 and returning
about August 1.
Scouts and their families will
pay each boy's way, with each
scout being required to earn a
reasonable portion of the total
cost. Boys must be at least 121 g
years old and less than 18 at the
time of the Jamboree, and they
must earn first class scout rank
before then, and demonstrate
camping and group cooperation
skills before being accepted for
the trip.
A total of about 50.000 Ameri
can and foreign scouts are ex
pected to attend the conclave,
to be the largest gathering of
its kind ever held.
