Al. Henderson
Passes Away
In Victoria
Word has been recolved here by
wire from Whitehorse that A. Jv
Henderson, for many years foreman
of the White PaBs shipyard at
Whitehorse, died at Victoria, B. C..
Saturday. He had been ill for
months. Cancer was the cause of
death. Mr. Henderson was taken
sorlously ill early in the summer,
and left Whltehorstr for Victoria in
August, and w&s under treatment in
that city until the time of his death
Mr. Henderson, better known to
his many friends throughout the
North as "Al" Henderson, was born
in Douglastown, N. B., 59 years ago, :
He came North In 1900, and entered ;
the service of the Canadian Develop- ;
ment Company, the pioneer large
operator of the upper river. When
that company was tasen over by the
White Pass he remained with the
service, and for twenty-two ysars
was the master builder of big river
craft at Whitehorse for the two
companies. He was one of the most
skilled and capable designers and
builders of inland water steamers to
be found in any part of the world.
Myny of the boats he turned out for
tl'C Yukon river aro said to be with
out a superior for swift inland
en cams. The la^t steamer which he
designed was the Keno, which was
launched at Whitohorso. in Augvs*.
end made her maiden voyage the
middle of that montn, to Mayo. For
u;» stream service she Is considered
without a peer in draft, capacity,
speed and comfort. Mr. Henderson
also designed and built during his
career at Whitehorse. among other'
craft now on the Yukon, the Casoa,
the Alaska, the Yukon and the
Keno; the Tutshi and (he twin
screw gasboat Tarahne, in the Atlln
service; the launches Neecheah, Peli
can. Falcon, Sibllla, Teal, Kotllk
and Hawk; and the large Yukon
barges Pelly, Teslin, Big Salmon,
Tahkeena, Lewis, Stewart, Carmacks
Tantalus, Alsek and Hootallnqua.
Bert Fowler, long assistant at
Whitehorse to Mr. Henderson, took
over the work as foreman and chief
builder in the shipyard when Mr.
Henderson went soutlj.
EXAMINATION OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN
There has been some misunder
standing and some misinformation
| with reference to the examination of
| the school children of Skagway by
' Miss IS. Djupe. In order that we
' might see the matter straight, the
I Alaskan sent a representative up to
see Miss Stone, the principal of the
public school here.
Miss Djupe is the representative
of the Northwest Branch of the Am
erican Red Cross. She came to
Skagway upon Invitation of the Pub
lic School Board. Her examination
of the children was conducted in the
presence of tho Principal and was
merely such an examination as a
qualified nurse could give. In no
cnse did she declare a child deficient
in this or that, but In the slips sent
home stated that the child SEEMED
to need attention In the particulars
noted. These cursory examinations
covered the eyes, ears, throat; tee'.li
and the weight In comparison with
height. A number of the children
appear to need attention in one or
more particulars. Since the exami
nation, Dr. Yalens has examined the
eyes of a number of the children and
has found some cases of Trachoma,
a bad disease of the eyes. Some have
been kept out of school for further
examination and observation.
The examination of Miss Djupe
has resulted in only beneficially,
as It has brought to the at
tention of parents slight defects In
vision or throat or teeth or hearing,
which If cared for by specialists will
aid the scholars In their work In the
school.
The Question Is raised as to why
the City should draw gravel and put
It on the streets near the public
school, when the Janitor dumps the
ashes from the school boiler on the
playgrounds where they will "have
to be rehauled to the streets, thus
cause a double expense which might
be avoided by the Janitor's taking n
few additional steps when be has the
ashes on the borrow, to place thcui
where they will not have to be mov- J
ed again, and where they will do the
most good.
Actual oil drilling operations will
be started in the near future near
Kanatak, by the 3tandard Oil Com
pany and the Associated Oil Compa
ny, drilling machinery having been
landed last month. A road to the
